Instruction on mounting and use
Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text
by alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out
in this manual. All responsibility,
inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying
with the instructions in this manual, is declined.
Use
The hood has been made for use in the internal recirculating
filtering version.
Cooking fumes and steam are aspirated inside the hood,
filtered and cleaned, passing through the fat filter/s and the
carbon filter/s that MUST be supplied with the hood.
Attention!
If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must
be ordered and mounted.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and
70cm from gas or mixed cookers.If the instructions for
installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this
must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
Th
e electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted
on the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the
electrical plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible
outlet in conformity with local standards in force. Where an
electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to
electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch
with an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible)
from the contacts.
Attention: substituting the supply cable must be carried out
by the authorised technical assistance service.
Mounting
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must
verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this
appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Operation

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.
The hood is equipped with a "TOUCH SENSOR" device able
to determine the control of the lights and the speed when the
user touches the control bar. Read the instructions below
carefully for this purpose.
The hood is also supplied with a remote control for controlling
light, speed and other functions (see the paragraph relating to
the functioning of the remote control).
Automatic switch-on function
The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor that starts
the motor at the 1 st
temperature around the hood is higher than 70°C.
The user can, however, switch off or modify the suction speed
(power). (See paragraph "Control of suction speed
(power))".
Control of suction speed (power)
The selection of the suction speed (power) is cyclical,
according to the speed sequences ""stand-by - 1-2-3-4-
Stand by -1-2-"... so that at every touch of the UPPER PART
of the control bar the suction speed (power) increases by a
level and then to switches off (stand-by) if the control bar is
touched again when the hood is at suction speed (power) 4.
It is possible lo turn the hood off (standby) even when the
hood is at any speed by pressing the UPPER PART of the
control bar (for more than 3 seconds).
It is possible to determine what suction speed (power) the
hood is in when the bar is equipped with a led that changes
colour on the basis of the suction speed (power), as follows:
Hood in stand-by: LED OFF
1 st suction speed (power) - led GREEN
2 nd suction speed (power) - led ORANGE (amber)
3 rd suction speed (power) - led RED
4 th suction speed (power) - led RED (FLASHING)
Note: the 4 th suction speed (power) remains on for 5 minutes,
after which the suction motor switches off (Stand-by).
Touched once more, the suction motor switches off (Stand-
by).
Need to wash the anti-fat filter: GREEN led FLASHING
(also read the instructions relating to the use of the remote
control).
Need to wash or replace the carbon filters: ORANGE
(amber) led FLASHING (also read the instructions relating to
the use of the remote control).
Control of the central light
The central light can be switched on and off by touching the
LOWER PART of the control bar BRIEFLY.
