Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating!
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically

burning gas or other fuels. The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is
severely prohibited. The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters
and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all
circumstances. Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that
the oil does not overheat and ignite. Accessible parts of the hood may
became hot when used with cooking applicance.
With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume

Use
The hood has been designed for use in filter version with internal
recirculation and it can be converted to work in ducting version with
external air exhaust by removing the charcoal filter mounted inside
the hood.
Installation
This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out
by at least two persons.
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 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.
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate
situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket
in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area,
after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the
plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double
pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category
III, in accordance with installation instructions.
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.
Operation
The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control
and a light switch to control cooking area lights.
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is
recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes
prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15
minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the
hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and
removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the
plug must be removed from the socket.
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same
frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally
and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid
detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.

any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe
the above safety recommendations.

The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease
filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)

depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease
filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four
mounths.
