assembly steps indicated in Fig.1A before fixing the cooker
hood to the structure.
Take connector flange B and fit it to the upper part of the
cooker hood suction assembly using the 2 screws E (Fig.1A).
• Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:
This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or insi-
de another type of support structure. To fix it in place, use 4
screws A which are suitable for the type of cabinet, making
holes in accordance with the diagram shown in (Fig.1). To fit
the appliance correctly, align the front panel of the cooker
hood with the cabinet door and adjust spacer L using screws P
(Fig.2), then ensure the appliance meets the cabinet at the rear.
• Extraction through an outside wall:
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or
a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance
with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to
flange B (Fig.3).
• Recirculation:
To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to
the re circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon
filter. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker
hood in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees
until it is gripped securely (Fig.6). For this operation remove the
anti-grease filter(s) G (Fig.5). The clean air is returned into the
room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard
and connected to the ring B (Fig.4).

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.
- In the event that acrylic anti-grease filters are used, hand-
wash every 2 months, using neutral non-abrasive liquid
detergents and replace them after every 6 washes.
- 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
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease filter is cleaned.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the rege-
nerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are
completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally,
using a cloth dampened with water or non-abrasive neutral
liquid detergents.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.7):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs
with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the
light bulb with bare hands.
• Replace incandescent/halogen/fluorescent lamps
(Fig.11):
Only use lamps of the same type and Wattage installed on
the device.
• Microswitch (Fig.8-9-10):
Warning! This hood is fitted with a microswitch which allows
the activation of the functions (light and motor speed) through
the opening of the telescopic undercarriage.
If the telescopic undercarriage is closed, neither the lights nor
the motor speed can be activated (Fig.8-9-10).
• Commands (Fig.8):
Push-button A = On/off lights switch.
Push-button B = On/off cooker hood switch. The appliance
switches on at speed level 1, If the cooker hood is on depress
the push-button for 2 sec. to switch off the cooker hood. If
the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary
to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood off.
Decreases the motor speed.
Display C = Indicates the motor speed level selected and
activates the timer.
Push-button D = Switches on the cooker hood. Increases the
motor speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed, the intensive
function runs for 10' , then the appliance go back to work at
the original speed. During this function the display blinks.
Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for 15
minutes, after which they are switched off. The Timer is deac-
tivated by re-pressing Key E.
When the Timer is activated the decimal point must flash on
the display. The Timer cannot be activated if the intensive
speed is functioning.
The "clean air" function is activated by pressing key E for 2
seconds when the appliance is switched off. This switches the
motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the first speed. During
functioning a rotary movement of the peripheral segments
must be visualised on the display. When this time has passed
the motor switches off and the fixed letter "C" must be visua-
lised on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes
for another 10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from
the light keys to return to normal functioning. Press key E to
deactivate the function.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates
with the letter F (e.g. 1 and F), the anti-grease filters must be
washed.
- When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates
with the letter A (e.g. 1 and A), the active carbon filters must
be replaced or washed depending on the type of filter.
After the clean filter has been positioned correctly, the
electronic memory must be reset by pressing button A for
approximately 5 seconds, until the indication F or A shown
- 17 -
