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.
Warning! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid hazard.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the
chosen installation area.
•
Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative
paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want
lo use the hood in the filtering version.
•
Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied
material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*),
guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping
them.
In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls and/or lateral
wall units check that there is sufficient space to install the hood and
that access to the command panel is easy.
Operation
The hood has been designed in such a way as to prevent the
formation of condensation on its lower surfaces when it is placed
on top of an induction hob.
Unlike gas or electric hobs, induction hobs only heat the food
containers and not the surrounding air, so the surfaces of the hood
are cold.
When the hot cooking gases rise, they encounter the cold surfaces
of the hood, which then condense and release the moisture
present in the air that rapidly turns into water droplets. These then
fall onto the hob itself and onto the food, contaminating it with fat
and impurities.
To prevent this from occurring, all the lower surfaces of the hood
are heated by a system of internal resistances that are invisible.
This means that the heating of the lower surfaces of the hood,
even without switching on the hob below, is perfectly normal and is
not a sign of a product malfunction.
The internal grease filter is not specifically heated to condense a
large part of the moisture present in the air. Some drops will,
therefore, form on this surface that will be collected in a special
tray.
Tips and requirements for optimal use of the NO DRIP
SYSTEM
•
The hood should be switched on a few minutes before
cooking to allow the lower surfaces to warm up and should be
kept on until the odours disappear.
•
The grease filters should not be removed once cooking has
terminated to allow time for the collected condensation in the
grease filter to settle in the tray.
•
The rate of condensation collection increases with increasing
suction speed (power).
•
The NO DRIP SYSTEM offers the best performance in an
environment with a temperature between 18°C and 25°C.
•
Always open the steam collector (panel) to its full range of
motion.
Motor OFF button (Stand by)
Speed selection button (Suction power) low
Speed selection button (Suction power) medium
Speed selection button (Suction power) high
and intensive.
Push to enable high speed (suction power).
Press again to enable Intensive speed (suction
power) (button will flash for 5 minutes and then
return to medium speed (suction power).
ON/OFF light button
Short press to switch illumination of the cooking
hob on or off.
Long press to switch ambient light on or off (only
on some models).
"Anti-condensation" ON/OFF button: used to
prevent condensation from forming on the surface
of the hood. Enable when required.
"Automatic anti-condensation": enabled by the
hood each time it is switched on.
Automatic ON/OFF: with the hood off, press the
button for 5 seconds until the steady LED is
displayed for 3 seconds (and a beep if available) to
ENABLE.
With the hood off, press the button for 5 seconds
until the LED FLASHES for 3 seconds (and a beep
if available) to DISABLE.
Note: Anti-condensation is only enabled only
with the motor on.
