ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate
situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in
compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the
mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with
installation instructions.
WARNING!
Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the
efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
Replacing the power cable
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged,
request a new one from Technical Service.
AIR VENT
(for the suction versions)
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to
the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause
a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are
not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING ?
! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version.
To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be
installed.
Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished
or must be bought separately.
Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering
system may be installed on the hood.
Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering
version is present in this manual.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a
special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.
CAUTION!
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
CAUTION!
If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Filter version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into
the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional
filtering based on activated charcoal.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT
CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO
NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Perimeter aspiration panel
Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency as the ant-fats
filter, using a cloth and not too concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use
abrasive substances.
Maintenance of the anti-grease filters
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication
system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity)
using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which
must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Maintenance of the charcoal filter
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use,
depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease
filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths
(or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity).The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or
regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on
the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°.
