GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding installa-
tion safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible
for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed as a suction version (external ex-
haust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) cooker hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. ake care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an
open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and
are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood re-
moves the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for
combustion.
The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10
-5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of
the cooker hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
2. WARNING!!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger
hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood
is operating
B) Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil
may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth
cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the
description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood must be
installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between con-
tacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed
between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection
to the electrical network.
• The appliance must be installed at a minimum height of 700 mm from
an cooker stove in case of a gashob or an electrical hob.
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must
be placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used
to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances gen-
erated by other than an electrical source.
• Installation
To properly install the hood, proceed as follows:
1.Fixing the cooker-hood to the lower part of a wall unit
2.Select method of operation (extraction or re-circulation).
Fitting the cooker-hood to the lower part of a wall unit.
The appliance should be embedded into the wall unit or another support.
This process should be carried out by using 4 screws suitable for the
kind of unit following the instructions for the drilling of the holes as
shown in (Fig 1)
• Suction Version
With this type of installation the appliance discharges the vapours
externally outside the main wall or an existing exhaust conductor. A
non inflammable Ø 150 mm mural telescopic tube (acceptable
standard) is necessary and should be connected to the flange B supplied
(Fig.5).
ENGLISH
• Filter Version
To transform the suction version to a filter version cooker hood, active
carbon filters are required and you should ask for them from your local
supplier.
The active carbon filters purify the air that is recycled within the
environment. The filters are not washable or regenerative and must be
replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active carbon
depends on the frequent use of the cooker-hood, from the type of food
cooked and the frequency of cleaning the grease. The rectangular filters
must be affixed to the suction area inside the cooker-hood. Fit the
pivots (K) in the appropriate slots (Fig 4) then, using the appropriate
handles, and with a turning movement towards the top slot in the pivots
(J) which are located next to the handle. To do this operation remove
the grill G (Fig 2). The air is put back into the atmosphere via the
connection tube passing through the cabinet to the linking ring B (Fig.6).
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes
after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking
vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity
of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the
air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency
of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter
at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution
of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is
not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environ-
ment. The filters are not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced
at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking
and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using
a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid
detergent.
• CONTROLS (Fig.7)
A = LIGHT
B = OFF/SPEED I
C = SPEED II
D = SPEED III
E = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER – 15 minutes
F = FILTER SATURATION RESET LIGHT
When the "filter saturation" light flashes, the anti-grease filters must
be washed.
When the light comes on without flashing, the anti-grease filters must
be washed and the carbon filters replaced (in case of operation whit the
recycling version).
When this operation has been completed, press the key to reset it.
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.
