INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD MOD. BLADE-DOT
Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed in accordance with European Standards and with the requirements included in the following Directives: 2006/95EC (Low Voltage
Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
In order to respect the minimum distance of at least 65 cm, in accordance with the
present regulation, between the supporting surface for cooking vessels on a gas hob and
the low voltage components in the range hood, the lowest part of the range hood must be at
a distance of at least 47,5 cm from the hob .
If the mounting instructions of the gas cooker indicate a wider distance, respect it. The
unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top radiant plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced by
gas-fed equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this does not apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used together with other gas-
fed or fuel-fed equipments.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the installation area.
Installation of the hood onto the wall.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation, which are
suitable for most surfaces.
Verify that the installation surface is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.
After having drawn and drilled the wall as in picture 1, use the following fastenings for
installation:
•
Blocking dowels (A)
•
Suspending and levelling dowels (B)
•
Brackets and screws for fixing the chimney to the wall (C) (*optional)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1)
Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and inserted in a mains
socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be disconnected when
servicing is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete
installation of the equipment.
2)
By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures the
disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete
disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to
installation regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be
interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings.
EMPLOYMENT
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation). Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue
joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler or burner
exhaust pipes, etc.
Filtering (inside recycling). Waste gases and vapours when cooking are filtered through
active carbon filters, depurated and re-circulated into the kitchen through a tube
connected to the ducting fitting (spigot) on the cookerhood, which conveys the air to a
hole on the upper part of the wall mounted unit. Always keep this hole free of obstacles to
permit the air to return into the kitchen.
OPERATION
The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at higher speeds only
when there is a heavy build-up of fumes or
odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started and then kept on
until all odours have been eliminated.
For the identification of the bottons, refer to the following figure:
- TL: illumination on and off.
- T1: switching on the hood, selection of the first speed, aspirator shutdown
- T2: selection of the second speed of the aspirator
- T3: selection of the third speed of the aspirator
- T4: selection of the Booster (maximum suction), the aspirator remains for 5 minutes at
this speed (with flashing button) and then it will automatically switch to the third speed.
- T5: activation and deactivation of the 24h Comfort function
24h Comfort
Pressing T5 selects the 24h Comfort function which remains active for a maximum of 24
hours. The aspirator switches on at the first speed for 5 minutes, then switches off
automatically and repeats the function cyclically every 25 minutes.
During the suction phase the botton flashes, otherwise it remains fixed. The function can
be deactivated at any time by pressing T5.
Adjustable and delayed self switching off
With the hood in operation select the desired speed, then keep pressed until it flashes
the speed button that corresponds to the auto-off minutes you want to set keeping in
mind that:
T1 equal to 5 minutes
T2 equal to 10 minutes
T3 equal to 15 minutes
230-240 Vac - 50 Hz
During the switch-off time, the set speed can be changed. If the maximum speed is
chosen, after 5 min, it automatically switches to 3rd speed and the auto switch-off will be
at this speed.
Filters maintenance reminder
Grease filters:
Every 30 hours of hood operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs on the keys
light up with a fixed light for 30 seconds to alert the necessary cleaning of the aluminum
grease filters. To reset the timer, simply hold down the T1 button with the aspirator off,
otherwise the device will give the alarm again the next time the hood is turned off.
Activated carbon filter:
Every 120 hours of operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs on the keys light
up for 30 seconds to remember the replacement of the activated carbon filters and the
cleaning of the aluminum grease filter. To reset the timer, simply hold down the T1 button
with the aspirator off, otherwise the device will give the alarm again the next time the hood
is turned off.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the hood from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning operation.
Particular attention should be paid to the metallic anti-grease filters that are designed to
trap particles of fat contained in the fumes. The metallic anti-grease filters must be
washed at least once a month with detergent in hot water (or in the dish-washer).
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore
extremely important to clean the metallic filters on a regular basis as per instructions.
The activated charcoal filters are designed to collect unpleasant odours in the cooking
fumes. The air is then released purified in the environment. The charcoal filters must not
be washed, but replaced 2 or 3 times a year, depending on how much the hood is used.
New filters are to be requested directly to the manufacturer.
In order to replace the activated charcoal filters,(pic.2) turn the filters until they unfasten
from aspirator.
Invert the operation in order to install the new charcoal filters.
In order to remove the remaining glue or any impurity, the cooker hood must be cleaned
immediately after installation and after having removed the protective film.
The cooker hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a
month).
Do not let dirt gather on the inner and outer surfaces of the hood.
To clean the exterior of the hood do not use either acid or basic products, or abrasive
sponges.
Clean the hood with a sponge dampen in warm water and a little quantity of neutral
detergent (for example dishwasher detergent), in order to remove possible particles of
grease.
Rinse with a damp cloth, removing all the detergent carefully, following the satin finish
direction on the steel surface.
Drying is very important, especially in areas where water is particularly hard and leaves
limestone.
The hood features a LED light that, in addition to offering a good lighting and a significant
energy savings, are guaranteed to last on average 10 times more than traditional lights. For
replacement, contact the Assistance Service.
