product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall on
which the hood is to be fixed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue:
- Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions
of the decorative flue. If your appliance is to be installed in the
ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare
the air exhaust opening.
- Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper flue
(Fig.3).
- Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.3) in such a
way that it is in line with your hood and respecting the distance
from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2.
- Connect the flange C to the air exhaust hole using a
connection pipe (Fig.5).
- Insert the upper flue into the lower flue.
- Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws B provided
(Fig.5), extract the upper flue up to the bracket and fix it with
the screws B (Fig.3).
- If your appliance has the lower connections indicated as in
Fig.4A, the fixing to be carried out is that shown in Fig.6A.
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a filtering
version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the
installation instructions.
• Filter hood:
Please note:
- In order to transform the hood from EXTRACTOR HOOD into
FILTER HOOD the active carbon filters must be ordered at your
distributor as accessory.
We have two different types of Kit, one with non-regenerable
active carbon filters (Fig.7B) and the other one with
regenerable active charcoal filters (washable) (Fig.7C).
- To replace the non-regenerable active carbon filters X, pull
lever outwards as shown in Fig.7B.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We 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.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand,
with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at
a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishware). Remove excess water without
damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the
mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at
a maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable
charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be
repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• 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 denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.8):
In order to replace the dichroic lamps, carefully remove
the lamp from the lamp holder with the help of a small flat
screwdriver or a similar tool. PLEASE NOTE! In doing this
operation, please take care not to scratch the hood. Replace
the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.9):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs
with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the
light bulb with bare hands.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.10):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of
a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
• Replacing the halogen/incandescent lamps (Fig.11):
Only use lamps of the same type and Wattage installed on
the device.
• Commands luminous (Fig.12.A.B.) the key symbols are
explained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
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 10 minutes after which it will return to the previously
set speed. When the function is active the LED flashes. To
interrupt it before the 10 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
