Cata F - Manual (Page 9)

INSTALLATION
The appliance has been designed as exhausting hood (external exhausting)
or filtering one (internal recirculation).
Warning: consult local regulations regarding fumes outlets. Do not connect
the hood to a fume, ventilation or hot air duct. Confirm that room ventilation is
appropriate with the local authorities. Make sure
the maximum air extraction flow rate for the appliances in the room does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).The room must have adequate ventilation if an
extractor hood is used simultaneously with appliances that run on gas or
other fuels. The evacuated air must be extracted through ducts that are
used for evacuating fumes from appliances that run on gas or other fuels.
Regulations regarding air extraction must be complied with.
Use a rigid PVC pipe with a min. Ø l20 mm to evacuate fumes outside.
The above restrictions do not apply to hoods with no fumes outlet to out-
side
(recirculation system with activated charcoal filter).
Install the hood in line with the instructions on the template Install the hood
in line with the instructions on the template provided.
For gas cooking appliances only: the minimum distance to the hood must be
at least 65 cm.
The appliance must be placed in such a way, that the supply plug is acces-
sible.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance is built in class II. so no wire has to be connected with the
earth terminal.
Connect the cord to a socket or double pole switch
The manufacturer shall not be liable for failure to observe all safety regula-
tions in force for the correct and normal operation of electrical parts.
Warning: the hood may stop working during an electrostatic discharge (e. g.
lightning). This involves no risk of damage. Switch off the electricity supply to
the hood and reconnect after one minute.
Do not allow the hood to be used by children or persons with reduced (phy-
sical, sensory or mental) capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised so that they do not play with the appliance.
To avoid the risk of fire, clean the metal filter regularly, permanently control
pans containing hot oil and do not flambé food underneath the hood.
Do not use the hood if it shows signs of damage or imperfection. Contact an
official distributor or authorised dealer.
Accessible parts may heat up when using cooking appliances.
ATTENTION: should the lamps not work, make sure they are well tightened
MOUNTING OF THE HOOD IN THE LOWER PART OF AN HANGING CUP-
BOARD
Drill 4 holes of 6 mm. diameter at the bottom of the hanging cupboard as
showed in the drawing fig. 1.
Fill the hood in the cabinet with 4 screws, which are appropriate to that kind
of cupboard.
The appliance is provided with 2 air outlets, one which is in the upper part
and the other on the back. Both of them can be used according to your re-
quirements.
A connecting ring (C), which to join the connecting pipe to, and a cover (A) to
close the air outlet, which is not used, are supplied.
MOUNTING OF THE HOOD ON THE WALL
Drill 2 holes on the wall, which correspond to the position (B) of the drawing fig-1.
Hang the hood on the 2 holes by using the screws and doweis with expanding
plug, which are apropriate for that kind of wall (ex.: concrete, plasterboard,
etc.). Fix definitely the hood through the 2 security holes (Z).
CHANGING FROM EXHAUSTING HOOD TO THE FILTERING ONE
In order to make this change (possible also after the use of the exhausting
system), demand a set of carbon filters to your deales. Active carbon filters
are necessary to depurate the air, that will be released in the room. Filters
are not washable: they cannot be regenerated and have to be replaced at
most every 4 months. The saturation of the activated charcoal depends on
the more or less prolonged use of the hood, on the type of cooking and on the
regularity of cleaning the grease filter. The filter (C) has to be applied to the
aspirating group, which is inside the hood hitin the centre of the group with
it and turning it of 90 degrees until the stop click is heard to lock it. Remove
the grill (G) to carry out this operation. Close with the appropriate covers the
upper and back air outlets; turn the small lever (L) from the position (A) to the
position (F). In this way the hood is ready for the filtering function.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
It is advisable to let the appliance work for 15 minutes after the cooking of
the food in order to remove completely the fumes. In the frontal part of the
appliance there are an on/off switch for the light, and a switch to change the
working speeds. The effective functioning of the hood depends on the regu-
larity with which the maintenance operations are carried out. in particular
those of the anti-grease filter.
The anti-grease filter, which rests on the grill, has the function of catching
the particles suspended on the air, so it is subject to get clogged at various
intervals, according to the use of the appliance. In any case at most after two
months, it is necessary to clean the filter by doing the following operations:
• Remove the filter from the grill and wash it with a solution of water and
neutral liquid detergent, allowing the dirt to soften:
• rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, allow to dry without twisting and
apply it to the grill.
If the appliance is providea with a metal filter, it can be washed also in the
dishwasher, dried and reapplied to the grill.
In case the washing instructions of the filter should not be followed, it could
burst into flames.
Clean frequently all the deposits on the fan and on all the other surfaces.
using a cloth moistened by methylated spirits or neutral and not abrasive
fluid detersive.
WARNING!!
UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DOMESTIC APPLIANCES MAY BE DAN-
GEROUS.
• Do not chech filters with hood working.
• Do not toucht the lamps after a prolonged use of the appliance.
• No food must be cooked flambe underneath the hood.
• The use of an unprotected flame is dangerous for the filters and could
cause fires.
• Watch constantly the fried food in order to avoid that the cooking oil flares up.
• Before performing any maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from
the mains.
The Manufacturers refuse to accept any responsability for eventual dama-
ges. because of failure to observe the above instructions.
On cooker hoods equipped with tungsten lamps, the lights should only be
used during operation of the motor. They should not be left on permanently
and used as a light source.
