• Wear protective gloves before
proceeding with the installa-
tion.
• Electric Connection:
Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:
- If the symbol
appears on the plate, it means that no earth
connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow
the instructions concerning insulation class II.
- If the symbol
DOES NOT appear on the plate, follow the
instructions concerning insulation class I.
Insulation class II
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily acces-
sible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance
is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably di-
mensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening
between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and
the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current
regulations.
- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
Insulation class I
This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to
an effiecient earthing system.
- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as
follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
YELLOW/GREEN =
earth.
The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the
N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected
to the terminal by the earth symbol
When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make
sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting
the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is
in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance
is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar
switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be
placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the
load required and it must comply with current legislation.
• If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance
between the same and the lower part of the hood must be at
least 65 cm. 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 con-
ductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from
other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the
anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.16) so that the unit is easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the
same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a
smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be
reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• Hood assembly:
- Remove the structure from the packaging and remove the 2
screws A to separate the upper part from the lower part (Fig.2).
- Position hole template on the ceiling paying attention that
.
- 28 -
the arrow is positioned on the same side as the appliance
controls (Fig.3). Make 4, Ø8 holes in the ceiling and drive in 3
screws without completely tightening them. Pay attention not
to insert the screw into the hole marked with an X on the hole
template (the screws and expansion plugs must be suitable
for the type of wall).
- Take the upper part of the structure B (Fig.4) and insert the
3 slots onto the 3 screws that are not completely tightened.
Rotate slightly to fit (Fig.4). Drive in the fourth screw X and
tighten the remaining 3 to allow definitive blocking of the
upper part of structure B.
- Take the lower part of the telescopic structure C and insert it
into the upper structure B (Fig.5). Adjust the height by referring
to the amounts indicated in (Fig.15) and block it using the 8
screws G that are supplied (Fig.6).
• Suction version: fix the flexible pipe to the prepared air
evacuation hole (Fig.7).
• Filtering version: we have two different types of Kit, one
with extractable carbon filters (Fig.17) and the other one with
re-usable carbon filters (washable) (Fig.18).
- Fix the flexible pipe to the deflector M and fix screw I as
indicated in Fig.8, the active carbon filters must be applied to
the suction unit positioned inside the hood (Fig.17).
- If your product is fitted with a connector flange, perform the
assembly steps indicated in fig. 9 before fixing the cooker hood
to the structure. Take connector flange F and fit it to the upper
part of the cooker hood suction assembly using the 2 screws
E (Fig.9).
- Take the upper chimney piece and fix it to the structure using
the 2 screws A (Fig.10). Join the lower chimney piece with the
upper one and fix it carefully using adhesive tape L (Fig.11A).
- Unscrew the 2 screws O, max 3 mm (Fig.11A). Insert the
suction unit inside the structure paying attention that the
previously unscrewed screws O, hook into the slots in the
lower part as indicated in (Fig.11B). Drive in the 3 screws N
(supplied) and tighten the 2 screws O (Fig.11B).
- Fix the air evacuation pipe H (not supplied) onto the connec-
tion flange F (Fig.12).
- Remove adhesive tape L and rest the lower chimney piece
above the cooker hood (Fig.13).
- If the cooker hood is supplied with a lower chimney piece
that must be fixed to the hood body with screws, remove the
anti-grease filters from the hood by acting on the relevant
handles (Fig.16).
- If necessary, fix the lower duct to the hood from the inside,
using the screws P (Fig.14). Re-locate the filters in their seat.
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 main-
tenance; 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
