Introduction
Read this instruction manual carefully before installing the hood. These instructions are designed to tell you of the
various technical details of your cooker hood and to make you familiar with its use. Since these instructions cover more
than one type of hood within the same series, it may be that reference is made to components that do not form part
of the hood that you are installing. The hood may be used as an exhaust or filter hood. If evacuation is available (exhaust
duct or air flue) we recommend using the hood in the exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen vapors and odors
out-doors. Fittings can vary from country to country. We reserve the right to modify the product without any notice
always with the aim of improvements and in compliance with the relevant norm.
Suggestions for using the hood in exhaust position
When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas, oil, coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same
time, attention is required because the air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through the hood and
this creates depression. There is no such danger when the maximum depression in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this
condition no exhaust gas from the heat source is piped. To assure this condition, make openings in the room which
cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are not sufficient) and through which the air necessary for combustion can freely
flow.
Note:—All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be studied. In case of doubts, get advice or
authorization from the person or agency responsible for the building. When using gas burners, gas ovens, etc. as well
as when using the hood in the filter version, these precautions are not necessary.
N.B. The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the ducts and number of elbows increase. When
using the exhaust version, follow these rules: Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and air ducts serving
the room. Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in use, ask for the approval of the person or agency
responsible for the building. The evacuated air must not be let into a warm air duct. For the evacuation of the exhausted
air please note ufficial instructions.
Installation
The hood must be mounted over the center of the cooking area. The minimum distance between the cooker and the
bottom of the hood must be 650 mm for electric cookers and 750 mm for gas cookers.
Warning: If the room contains a flued fuel burning appliance which is not of the "balance flue" type make sure these
is an adequate air inlet to the room at all times so that fumes are not drawn down the flue.
N.B. The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect in the various countries. Before drilling the wall
make sure that no pipes or cables will be damaged. If there is no outer waste-pipe for the exhaust version, an air outlet
with a diameter of 130 mm must be made through the wall.
Wall fixing of the cooker hood
1) Set the distance between the cooker hob and the hood (Fig. 4).
2) Be careful, using the drilling template, to allow the correct minimum distance between the cooker and the bottom
of the hood, in particular when ducting to the outside using a pipe passing above the kitchen wall units (Fig. 6).
3) Join the two parts of the flange (Fig. 5/H) using the two screws, and apply the flange to the top of the motor unit
(Fig. 5/L), using 4 screws (Fig. 5/I).
4) Drill the holes in the wall to fix the hood, then fix the hood using the two screws and wall plugs (Fig. 5/N).
5) For a correct installation the hood is provided (in the rear side of its body) with one or two holes 8 mm diam. into
which one or two wall fixing screws must be inserted (Fig. 5/O).
6) Ducting version with pipes over wall units: join the two parts of the 90° curve (Fig. 5/G) using the screws, and
connect the curve to the flange. Connect the extension (Fig. 6/1) and turn the curve until it is pointing in the direction
required for ducting. Now connect up the extraction pipes.
7) Ducting version with extraction pipes: connect the flange to a pipe ducting to the outside.
8) Re-circulation version: see point 6), but close the pipe openings using the special plastic grids provided (Fig. 5/
S), making sure that the flow of air is directed upward and not towards the wall.
Insure that all parts are properly fixed and that it is impossible to touch moving parts.
N.B.: If the appliance is provided with a 150 mm spigot, please do not fix the exhaust tube by means of screws onto
the spigot, otherwise the no-return valve could not work proper.
Installation of the pipes
(valid for exhaust or filter version)
1) Fix the bracket (Fig. 5/C) with 2 plugs and screws (Fig. 5/A) in the required hight for the pipe.
2) Screw the short pipe (Fig. 5/D) with 2 screws on the bracket (Fig. 5/B).
3) Fit the long pipe from the front (Fig. 5/E).
4) After inserting the nuts into their housings, fix the long pipe to the hood using the two self-threading screws and
working from the inside (Fig. 5/Q).
5) Close the pipe openings using the special plastic grids provided (Fig. 5/S), making sure that the flow of air is
directed upward and not towards the wall.
N.B.: Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the appliance data plate.
Attention: if the appliance is not provided with a plug or cannot be easily connected to a wall socket, then the electrical
circuit must incorporate a circuit breaker having at least a 3 mm separation between contacts.
Attention: This appliance must be connected to a system equipped with earth or ground plate. The manufacturers
decline responsibility for problems caused by failure to observe this rule. The wires in the supply cord are colored as
follows:
blue = neutral
—
brown = line
Using the cooker hood
The cooker hood should be switched on either before or at the same as cooking or frying commences. The grease
and carbon filters are more effective if the fan is not switched off immediately after cooking or frying is completed, but
only after a period of some 20-30 minutes. Before using the cooker hood please ensure that all plastic films like on
metal grease filter an stainless steel ducting are removed.

Lamp Replacement
If it has a halogen lamp look out not to touch it with your hands when you replace it. Use a dry and not greasy
protection (for example a cloth) in order to avoid a direct contact with skin which could make the lamp break.
Never use lamps with a wattage higher than the one shown on the label inside the hood.
Safety rules
Do not do any flambe cooking underneath the hood. When frying, never leave the pan alone because the cooking
oil could flare up. Clean all the surfaces frequently to avoid danger of fire. This can be done with a cloth or/and
with a brush drenched with denatured alcohol or with any other similar substances, except for the button area
(Fig. 3A/3B). It is also important to remove and clean or substitute frequently the filter installed in the hood.
Maintenance
Important: Prior to any maintenance, switch off and disconnect from electrical supply.
The carbon filter
When a carbon filter is fitted, the air that is sucked in is additionally cleaned by the active carbon particles within the
filter. This filter cannot be cleaned and so needs to be replaced from time to time, approximately every six months,
depending on how frequently the hood is in use.
Replacing the active carbon filter (only for recirculation hoods)
The filter can be easily removed by pulling downwards the two knobs (Fig. 2/2).
Grease filter
This absorbs vapor-suspended grease particles and protects the kitchen and furniture from greasy residues. The filter
should be washed every 10 to 15 days (in normal operating conditions). Dip the filter into a de-greaser solution or put
it in the dish washer. Make sure not to damage the filter, which is made of several layers of thin alloy, by hitting or
crushing it. The aluminium filter will may change colour, that will have no influence of the efficiency of the filter, may
it will improve it.
Replacing or cleaning the filters
To remove the aluminuim grease filter (Fig. 1), grab the opening tongue at the filter, pull it in your direction and move
the filter downwards. To reinstall it operate reversed.
