! The appliance must be installed by a qualified person in compliance with the
instructions provided.
!
Wear gloves when carrying out installation and maintenance operations.
AIR VENT
(for ducting versions)
! Prepare the hole and the air vent duct (150 mm diameter).
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.
! Do not connect the hood to smoke exhaust ducts for the products of
combustion (boilers, fireplaces, stoves, etc).
! For the air vents comply with the provisions laid down by the competent
authorities.
In addition, the air must not be evacuated through a hole in the wall unless
specifically intended for this purpose.
! Fit air intakes in the room to prevent the hood from creating a negative
pressure in the room (which must not exceed 0.04 mbar); if the hood is
used at the same time as non-electrical equipment (gas-, oil- and charcoal-
fired stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be sucked in by the heat source.
FILTERING OR DUCTING VERSION ?
The hood may be in filtering or in ducting version. Decide from the outset
which type is to be installed.
For better efficiency, we recommend installing the hood in the ducting version
(if possible).
Ducting version
The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside through an exhaust
duct (diameter 150 mm).
Filtering version
The hood purifies the air and recycles the clean air back into the room. For
this version, the following are required: 1 air baffle, 1 reducer, 1 charcoal filter.
The upper flue air evacuation slots must be positioned at the top.
CONTROLS
A) Turns the LIGHTS off
B) Turns the LIGHTS on.
C) Decreases speed down to minimum speed. If pressed for 2" the motor is
turned off.
D) Activates the motor (calling the last speed used) and increases the speed
until reaching maximum.
E) FILTER ALARM/TIMER RESET: when pressing the key during display of
the filter alarm (motor off) it resets the hour counter. When pressing the key
when the motor is running, the TIMER is activated and the hood will
automatically be switched off after 5 minutes.
L1) The 4 green LEDs indicate the running speed.
L2) When the LED is red (motor off) it indicates the FILTER ALARM. When
the LED is green (flashing) it indicates that the TIMER has been activated with
the key E.
FILTER ALARM:
After 30h of operation, the LED L2 turns RED. It indicates that the grease
filters need to be cleaned.
After 120h of operation, the LED L2 turns RED and flashes; It indicates that
the grease filters need to be cleaned and the charcoal filters replaced.
After cleaning the grease filters (and/or replacing the charcoal filters), restart
the hour counter (RESET) by pressing the key E during display of the filter
alarm.
MAINTENANCE
! Before cleaning or maintenance cut the power.
Cleaning the hood
WHEN TO CLEAN IT: clean it at least every 2 months to prevent the risk of
fire.
EXTERNAL CLEANING: use a cloth moistened in lukewarm water and
neutral detergent (for painted hoods); use specific products for steel, copper
or brass hoods.
INTERNAL CLEANING: use a cloth (or brush) soaked in denatured ethyl
alcohol.
WHAT NOT TO DO: do not use abrasive or corrosive products (e.g. metal
sponges, brushes, too hard brushes, very aggressive detergents, etc.)
Cleaning the grease filters
WHEN TO CLEAN IT: clean it at least every 2 months to prevent the risk of
fire.
HOW TO REMOVE THE FILTERS: push the catch near the handle towards
the rear of the hood and pull the filter downwards
HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTERS: hand wash or in the dishwasher using a
neutral detergent. If washing in the dishwasher, possible discoloration of the
filters does not in any way compromise their functioning.
Replacing the charcoal filter (P)
(for filtering version only)
WHEN TO REPLACE IT: replace it at least every 6 months.
HOW TO REMOVE IT: push the catch inwards and remove the charcoal filter
from its seat.
Replacing the lamps
- open the halogen lamp door by pressing on one side (where it says PUSH)
and release.
- Replace with lamps of the same type.
WARNING: Do not touch the new lamp with bare hands.
MALFUNCTIONS
If something appears not to be working properly, do the following simple
checks before calling Technical Service:
• If the hood is not working:
Check that:
- The power has not been disconnected.
- A speed has been selected.
• If the hood performs inefficiently:
Check that:
- The motor speed selected is sufficient for the amount of smoke and
vapours released.
- The kitchen is sufficiently ventilated to allow air intake.
- The charcoal filter is not worn (hood in filtering version).
• If the hood has turned off during normal functioning:
Check that:
- The power has not been disconnected.
- the omnipolar disconnection device has not tripped.
