INTENDED USE

The equipment is solely intended to be used to 
extract fumes generated from cooking food in 
non-professional domestic kitchens: any other 
use is improper. Improper use can cause damage 
to persons, things, pets and exempts the Manu-
facturer from any liability.

The equipment can be used by children over the age 
of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory 
and mental abilities, or with no experience or knowl-
edge, as long as they do so under supervision or after 
having received relative instructions regarding safe 
use of the equipment and understanding of the dan-
gers connected to it.
Children are not to play with the equipment. Clean-
ing and maintenance by the user must not be carried 
out by children without supervision.

USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS

Before cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance operations, disconnect the equip-
ment by removing the plug or switching 
off the main switch.

Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.
Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor 
fan) are off when the equipment is not being used. 
The maximum overall weight of any objects placed 
or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed 
3lb 5 oz (1.5 Kg).
Always supervise the cooking process during the use 
of deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the 
hood.
Do not prepare food over an open flame under the 
hood.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease 
filters: in this case, grease and dirt will deposit in the 
equipment and compromise its operation.

Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at 
the same time as the cooking appliances.
Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts 
of the hood are still hot.
There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out 
according to the instructions and products indicated 
in this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is 
not used for long periods of time.

If other appliances that use gas or other fu-
els are being used at the same time (boiler, 
stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room 
where the fumes are discharged is well-ven-
tilated, in compliance with the local regula-
tions.

  INSTALLATION

   only intended for qualified personnel

Before installing the hood,
carefully read the chapter
'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS'.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the hood.

POSITIONING

The minimum distance between the highest part of the cooking equip-
ment and the lowest part of the hood is indicated in the installation in-
structions. 

Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to outdoor environment 
(rain, wind, etc.).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

(only intended for qualified personnel)

Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply be-
fore carrying out any operations on the hood.
Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not disconnected or cut:

in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing Department.
Refer to qualified personnel for electrical connections.
Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law 
in force.

Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check that:
•  voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located 

inside the hood;

•  the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the techni-

cal specifications located inside the hood);

•  the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with tempera-

tures exceeding 158°F (70 °C);

•  the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in 

compliance with regulations in force;

•  the socket used to connect the hood is within reach.

In case of:
•  devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ''stand-

ardised'' one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earth-
ing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to 
an adequate safety socket.

•  fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any 

other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an 
opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage 
category III conditions.

Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in 
compliance with installation regulations.
