correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact:  
Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start 
cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is 
finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of 
smoke and vapour and use boost speed(s) only in extreme 
situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to 
maintain a good odour reduction efficiency. Clean the grease 
filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter 
efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system 
indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize 
noise. 

Use 

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter 
version. 

 Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by 
means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring 
located on top of the hood. 

Attention

! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be 

purchased apart. 
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the 
connection ring. 

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, 
then it must be removed. 

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a 
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). 
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller 
dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance 
and a drastic increase in noise. 

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.  

! 

Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. 

! 

Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum 
elbow angle: 90°). 

! 

Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. 

 Filter version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before 
being fed back into the room. 
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a 
system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal. 
  

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 60cm 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 mains power supply must correspond to the rating 
indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with 
a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current 
regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after 
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) 
or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after 
installation,  apply a double pole switch in accordance with 
standards which assures the complete disconnection of the 
mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in 
accordance with installation instructions. 

Warning!

 Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains 

supply and checking the efficient function, always check that 
the mains cable is correctly assembled. 
  
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable 
is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service. 

Mounting 

Before beginning installation: 

• 

Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for 
the chosen installation area. 

•  Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also 

relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only 
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version. 

•  Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other 

supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with 
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
