INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the
installation.
• Electric Connection:
Insulation class II
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible
after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance
is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably
dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening
between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and
the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current
regulations.
- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
• If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance
between the same and the lower part of the hood must be
at least 65 cm. 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.
- 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 become noisier.
• Fixing to the wall:
Before installing the hood on the wall, check the measure-
ments indicated in Fig.1, taking into account the minimum
distance from the cooking hob.
- - Mark and drill the 4 fastening holes (Fig.1).
- Fit the 4 rawlplugs A and the 2 screws B1 without tightening
them completely Fig.1.
- Remove the 4 screws E from the cover D figure 2 - step 1-2.
- Take the appliance and hang it on the 2 screws B1 figure
2 - step 3.
- Tighten the 2 screws B1 figure 2 - step 4 and mount the
hood on the wall permanently using the two safety screws
B2 figure 2 - step 5.
- Put the cover back in place D and fasten it using the 4 screws
E removed previously figure 2 - step 6-7.
- When carrying out the fixing operations, use only screws
and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced
concrete, plasterboard etc.).
If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the appli-
ance, make sure that they are suited to the type of wall to
which the hood must be fixed.
• Filter hood:
Before performing maintenance on the washable active
carbon filter, remove the grease filter/s (Fig.3).
- First remove the bracket and then pull out the panel, as
shown in (Fig.4).

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before
any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is
left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order
to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective
performance of the cooker hood depends on constant main-
tenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clog-
ging with variable frequency according to the use of the
appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does
not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is
sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease filter is cleaned.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand,
with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at
a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishware). Remove excess water without
damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat
dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a
maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable
charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be
repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regen-
erable active charcoal filters it is important that they are
completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and exter-
nally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or
neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
