in accordance with the standards in use (inflammable)
and connect it to flange H (Fig.1A).
• Recirculation:
To transform an extractor hood version into a filter
hood version, contact your appliance dealer and ask for
active charcoal filters. The filters should be fitted to the
extraction assembly inside the hood, by centring them
and rotating them 90 degrees, until they click into place
(Fig.7). To perform this operation, first remove filter G
(Fig.6). The air is released back into the room through
air exhaust piping which passes through the cabinet
and is connected to flange H

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• W e recommend that the cooker hood is switched on
before any food is cooked. We also recommend that
the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the
food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all
contaminated air. The effective performance of the
cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the
anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the
grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is
subject to clogging with variable frequency according
to the use of the appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand
using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the
dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This
does not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air
that is sent back into the room and its function is to
mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be
replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the
active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged
use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the
frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important
that they are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with water or
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cook-
ing and not for the prolonged general lighting of the
room. The prolonged use of the lighting system signifi-
cantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood clean-
ing warnings and with the replacement and cleaning
of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recom-
mends keeping to the suggested instructions.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.8):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the inter-
vention of a specialised technician is necessary to
replace them.
• Bright Control (Fig.9) the key symbols are explained
below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
(Fig.1B).
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes (*)
If your appliance has the INTENSIVE speed function,
from speed THREE, press key E for 2 seconds and it will
be activated for 6 minutes after which it will return to
the previously set speed. When the function is active
the LED flashes.
To interrupt it before the 6 minutes have elapsed, press
key E again. Some models allow activating this function
even with speed one and two.
By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood
switched off) the "clean air" function is activated. This
function switches the appliance on for ten minutes
every hour at the first speed. As soon as this function
is activated the motor starts up at the first speed for
ten minutes. During this time key F and key C must
flash at the same time. After ten minutes the motor
switches off and the LED of key F remains switched on
with a fixed light until the motor starts up again at the
first speed after fifty minutes and keys F and C start to
flash again for ten minutes and so on. By pressing any
key for the exclusion of the hood light the hood will
return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g. if key
D is pressed the "clean air" function is deactivated and
the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By
pressing key B the function is deactivated).
(*) The "AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER" delays stopping
of the hood, which will continue functioning for 15
minutes at the operating speed set at the time this
function is activated.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- When the A key flashes with a 2 second frequency
the anti-grease filters must be washed.
- When the A key flashes with a 0.5 second frequency
the active carbon filters must be replaced or washed
depending on the type of filter.
Once the clean filter has been put back one must reset
the electronic memory by pressing the A key for ap-
proximately 5 seconds until it stops flashing.
• Bright Control (Fig.10) the key symbols are explained
below:
A = OFF/SPEED I
B = SPEED II
C = SPEED III
D = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER (*)
E = LIGHT
If your appliance has the INTENSIVE speed function,
from speed THREE, press key C for 2 seconds and it will
be activated for 7 minutes after which it will return to
the previously set speed. When the function is active
the LED flashes.
To interrupt it before the 7 minutes have elapsed, press
key C again.
By pressing key D for 3 seconds (with the hood
switched off) the "clean air" function is activated. This
function switches the appliance on for ten minutes
every hour at the first speed. As soon as this function
is activated the motor starts up at the first speed for
ten minutes. By pressing any key for the exclusion of
the hood light the hood will return immediately to its
- 20 -
