Use
The hood is designed to be used solely as a FILTER version.
Filter version
One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be
obtained from your usual retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted
air before sending it back into the room through the upper
outlet grid.
Installation
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 45cm 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.
Electrical connection
The network voltage must correspond to the voltage specified
on the label specifications situated on the inner part of the
hood. The product is intended to be directly connected to the
mains electrical supply, therefore, install a standardised
bipolar switch that ensures total disconnection of the network
when in overvoltage category III, in compliance with the rules
of installation.
Warning!
Before reconnecting the hood’s circuit to the power
supply network, and before verifying correct operation, always
check that the network cable has been assembled correctly.
WARNING! The wall bracket (particular A – Fig.12-13) is
equipped with a terminal board, which must be connected
to the domestic electrical system.
Specialised personnel must carry out both the electrical
and the mechanical installation.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other
supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
them and keeping them.
•
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware
in it.
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.
1 – Safety System
MESH-PLATE Release/Connection:
the hood is provided with an electronically regulated safety

- press the " " key and keep it pressed for 5 seconds
- wait for the acoustic signal (it will be preceded by a
luminous/flashing signal, for approximately 2 minutes)
- release the MESH-PLATE
TO INSERT THE MESH-PLATE (Fig.18b-18c-19)
- connect the MESH-PLATE
- wait for the luminous signal to stop (approximately 2
minutes); the hood is once again ready for use
2 - Low suction speed
3 - Medium suction speed
4 - High suction speed
5 – Timed speed
the hood is brought to a minimum speed for 10 minutes after
which, it extinguishes.
