GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information re-
garding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this
information booklet accessible for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting
version (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.1B), filtering
version (air circulation on the inside – Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simul-
taneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend
on the air in the environment and are supplied by other
than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the
air from the environment which a burner or fireplace
need for combustion. The negative pressure in the
environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide
adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe
operation of the cooker hood.Follow the local laws
applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity net-
work:
- control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance)
to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to
the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a
qualified electrician.
- If the cable is damaged, replace it as soon as possible
with another one which has the same characteristics
and which is suitable for use at the power level of the
appliance. This procedure must be performed by a
qualified technician.
2. WARNING !
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may
be a danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the
cooker hood is operating
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or
straight after prolonged use of the lighting
installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the
cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters
and a fire hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the
overheated oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any main-
tenance.
G) This appliance should not be used by children,
by inexperienced individuals, or by individuals with
reduced capacities, unless they are supervised while
using the appliance or given instructions by some-
one who is responsible for their safety.
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure

I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room
when the rangehood is used at the same time as
ENGLISH
appliances burning gas or other fuels
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried
out in accordance with the instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly and electrical connections must be
carried out by specialised personnel.
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II,
therefore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load
indicated on the description label. Where a plug is pro-
vided, the cooker hood must be installed in order that
the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm
between contacts, in line with the electrical load and
local standards, must be placed between the appliance
and the network in the case of direct connection to the
electrical network.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces
of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest
part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm (Fig.5).
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
conductor 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.6) 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
