• Never use the hood without effectively mounted grids.
• The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
specifically indicated.
• Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for
installation or, if not supplied, purchase the correct screws
type.
• Use the correct length for the screws which are identified in
the Installation Guide.
• In case of doubt, consult an authorized service assistance
center or similar qualified person.
WARNING!
• Failure to install the screws or fixing device in
accordance with these instructions may result in
electrical hazards.
• Do not use with a programmer, timer, separate remote
control system or any other device that switches on
automatically.
• Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas
or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow
of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in
carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood
or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas
appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure
that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact:
Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start
cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is
finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of
smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme
situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to
maintain a good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease
filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter
efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system
indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize
noise.
Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
Extraction 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.
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.
Filtration 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.
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the
range hood must be not less than 50cm (not less than 65cm
only for Australia and New Zealand) from electric cookers
and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
