HOOD VERSION WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)
•
Ensure that the active carbon filters are assembled onto the hood, if not, install them as indicated in the instructions
•
If installed, remove the connection (ERM) and any check valve (M) installed on the hood's air outlet fitting (perform, in reverse order, the operation described in the
D
page 5).

Phase page 6
•
Insert the extension (H) into the flue (G) and secure them together with masking tape.
•
With external exhaust (suction) versions, it is possible to insert extension (H) with the slots facing downwards so that they are not visible when the installation
height allows it.
G1
Phase page 6 (only for installations on ceiling WITHOUT false ceiling)
Raise the assembly (H+G) until it is touching the ceiling (Fig. 1 ).
•
Attach the assembly (H+G) to the trellis (T) with 4 screws (V3) without tightening them all the way (Fig. 2 ).
•
G2
Phase page 6 (only for installations on ceiling WITH false ceiling)
Attach the extension supporting elements (SP) to the trellis (T) with 8 self-threading screws (V4) being sure to press it up against the false ceiling Fig. 1 ).
Raise the assembly (H+G) until it is touching the false ceiling (Fig. 2 ).
•
Attach the assembly (H+G) to the extension supporting elements (SP) with 4 screws (V3) without tightening them all the way (Fig. 3 ).
•
H
Phase page 7
Raise the hood so that it is near the trellis that is already attached to the ceiling (Fig. 1 ).
•
Centre the 4 metric screws, (V5) that are pre-screwed onto the trellis, (T1) (Fig. 2A ) on the holes on the hood; shift the hood sideways and tighten the 4 metric
•
screws definitively (V5) (Fig. 2B ).
I
Phase page 7
Remove the masking tape that was temporarily holding the flue (G) and extension (H) (Fig. 1 )
•
Take out the 4 screws (V3) that attach the extension (H) to the trellis (T) (Fig. 2A ) or, with false ceilings, to the extension supporting elements (SP) (Fig. 2B ) and slide
•
the extension (H) downwards (Fig. 3 ). Keep the removed (V3) screws.
By lowering the extension (H) it is possible to connect the pipe (F) to the external discharge pipe (with the suction version)(Fig. 4 ).
•
•
Set up the electric connection only once the electric power supply has been cut off.
L
Phase page 7
When the electrical connection is set up, as well as the discharge connection, raise the extension (H) (Fig. 1 ) and re-attach it to the trellis (T) (Fig. 2A ) or, with false
•
ceilings, to the extension supporting elements (SP) (Fig. 2B ) by the 4 screws (V3).
Attach the flue (G) to the hood by 2 self-threading screws (V6) (Fig. 3 ).

M
Phase page 8
Attach the flue (G) to the hood by 2 self-threading screws (V6) (Fig. 1 ).
•
N
Phase page 8
Raise the hood towards the trellis (Fig. 1 ).
•
•
Set up the connection with the external discharge pipe and the electrical connection, performing the latter after disconnecting the electrical power supply.
Centre the 4 metric screws, (V5) that are pre-screwed onto the trellis, (T1) (Fig. 2A ) on the holes on the hood; shift the hood sideways and tighten the 4 metric
•
screws definitively (V5) (Fig. 2B ).
OPERATION
WHEN SHOULD THE HOOD BE SWITCHED ON AND OFF?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook: this enhances the airflow to convey fumes and vapours towards the suction surface. After cooking,
leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. If required, by means of the Timer function, it is possible to set hood auto switch-off
after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
The first speed is a low consumption energy-saving way of keeping the air clean, the second speed is used in normal conditions, and the third speed is used when
there are strong odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The hood is assembled with two different types of filters: metal ones (washable) and active carbon ones (non-washable). The former must be cleaned every 30 hours
of use (the fixed light indicates that they need to be washed), the latter are to be replaced every 3-4 months, depending on the use of the hood. For further
information, please read the chapter regarding "Maintenance" on page 24.
WHEN AND WHY TO USE THE RECIRCULATION FUNCTION
The recirculation function can be used to improve the quality of the air in the home.
When the function is switched on, the hood recirculates the air in the room through an operating cycle at the 1st speed for 1 hour, followed by 3 hours, during which
time the motor is down. This cycle is repeated for 24 hours, until timeout.
This function is useful with hoods installed with the external exhaust (suction) version.
