USE
The hood is designed to be used either to filter and re-circulate air or in
a ducted vented mode.
OUTDOOR VENTED INSTALLATION
To use the hood in the vented mode, you need to connect a flexible
pipe to the connector “A” (fig. 1), which should then be fastened to
the ceiling.
VENTLESS FILTERING INSTALLATION
When the air cannot be vented to the outside, the hood can be fitted with
an activated carbon filter.
The air is purified by the filter and re-circulated into the room via the
grids on the flues.
To switch from “Vented” to “Ventless” operation, contact your retailer or
the manufacturer for the relevant assembly kit.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before making any electrical connections, make sure that the voltage of
the electrical mains corresponds with the value indicated on the appliance
rating sticker.
It is highly recommended that the electrical connection be made by a
qualified electrician.
APPLIANCE FITTED WITH A PLUG
Insert the plug into a socket that complies with the applicable norms in
force.
Once plugged into the socket, the plug must be easily accessible.
If you intend to connect the hood directly to the electrical mains, remove
the plug and add a standard bipolar switch with a minimum contact
opening of 3mm.
APPLIANCE NOT FITTED WITH A PLUG
Fit a standard plug or a standard bipolar switch compliant with the
applicable norms in force, with a minimum contact opening of 3mm.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any problems arising
from failure to comply with the above instructions.
CLASS 1 APPLIANCES MUST BE EARTHED

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The hood weighs approximately 35 kg and should therefore be fastened
securely to the ceiling.
The appliance should be installed at least 60 cm above an electric hob
and at least 65 cm above gas hobs.
If the appliance is installed above a gas cooking device with
installation instructions specifying a greater clearance, you must take
this into account.
To install the hood at the correct height, first adjust the length “L” of the
telescopic flue.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1)
measure the height “H” from the ceiling to the floor
2) fix the desired distance “D” between the hood and the floor
3) measure the height “X” of the hood
4) to find out “L”, apply the following formula:
L=H-(D+X) fig. 1
Once you have adjusted the length of the telescopic flue, fasten the two
units (fig. 2)
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply before
performing any maintenance operations on the same.
The correct operation of the hood is directly related to how often it is
cleaned and serviced, especially the aluminium grids and the activated
carbon filter.
The grids trap any grease particles and solids suspended in the air.
They therefore tend to clog over time, depending on how often the hood
is used and on the type of cooker installed.
The forged aluminium grids
should be washed by hand or in your
dishwasher, and allowed to dry thoroughly before remounting.
Failure to comply with the washing instructions could result in a fire
hazard.
The activated carbon filter
is only used by the ventless, filtering version,
and is designed to trap odours and clean the air.
The carbon filter is saturated after a varying amount of time depending
on the type of cooker used and on how regularly the aluminium grids
are cleaned.
Replace the carbon filter when prompted to do so by the LED indicator
light “F” (electronic version).
In any case, in the absence of such prompting, the cartridge must be
replaced at least once every four months.
CLEANING THE HOOD
Wipe the exterior of the hood with a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or mild liquid detergents. Avoid using abrasive products.
Wipe off all deposits from the fan and other hood surfaces frequently,
using the above products.
ATTENTION: SAFETY WARNINGS
The cooking vapours must not be vented to the outside along a flue
used for venting combustion fumes or gases, nor along a duct used as
a flue for rooms in which open flame appliances are installed. The vapour
ducting installation must comply with the applicable norms in force. If
the hood is being used in the outdoor vented mode where other vented
fuel-burning appliances are installed, you must ensure there is a sufficient
supply of air to the room.
1)
Do not attempt to check the filters when the hood is in operation.
2) Do not obstruct any air outlets.
3) Do not touch the lamps or lamp diffusers after prolonged use of the
hood.
4) Do not flambé food underneath the hood.
5) Avoid leaving an open flame uncovered, as it could damage the
filters and increase the risk of fire.
6) Never leave frying food unattended to prevent hot oil from catching
fire.
7) Disconnect the hood from the electrical mains before performing any
maintenance operations.
8) The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage
caused due to failure to comply with the above warnings.
