INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD MODEL HIDE

230-240 Vac - 50 Hz

To set the timer to zero keep the button T4 pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise
the timer will remain set on 120 hour functioning and the reminder will occur again when the
hood is switched off again.

Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed in accordance with European
Standards and with the requirements included in the following Directives: 2006/95EC ( Low
Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

Always disconnect the hood from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning
operation

Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood .
In  order  that  the  minimum  distance  between  the  supporting  surface  for  the  cooking  pots  on
gas hob and low-voltage components present in the hood is at least 65cm as required by the
regulations in force, it is necessary that the lower part of the hood is at least 60cm away from
the work top.
If  the  mounting instructions  of  the  gas cooker indicate a wider distance, respect it. The unit
must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top radiant plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced by gas-
fed equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this does not apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used together with other gas-fed
or fuel-fed equipments.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the installation area.
For mounting the hood follow the illustrations in

In order to remove the remaining glue or any impurity, the cooker hood must be cleaned
immediately after installation and after having removed the protective film.
The cooker hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a
month).
Do not let dirt gather on the inner and outer surfaces of the hood.
To clean the exterior of the hood do not use either acid or basic products, or abrasive
sponges.
Clean the hood with a sponge dampen in warm water and a little quantity of neutral detergent
(for example dishwasher detergent), in order to remove possible particles of grease.
Rinse with a damp cloth, removing all the detergent carefully, following the satin finish
direction on the steel surface.
Drying is very important, especially in areas where water is particularly hard and leaves
limestone.

Particular attention should be paid to the

metallic anti-grease filters

that are designed to

trap particles of fat contained in the fumes. The metallic anti-grease filters must be washed at
least once a month with detergent in hot water (or in the dish-washer).
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore
extremely important to clean the metallic filters on a regular basis as per instructions.

This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1)

Using  a  standard  plug  to  be  connected  to  the  power  cable  and  inserted  in  a  mains
socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be disconnected when servicing
is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation
of the equipment.
By  means  of  a  fixed  mains  connection,  fitting  a  bipolar  switch,  which  ensures  the
disconnection,  with  an  opening  distance  of  the  contacts  allowing  a  complete
disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation
regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.

The

charcoal filters

are designed to collect unpleasant odours in the cooking fumes. The air

is then released purified in the environment. The charcoal filters must not be washed, but
replaced 2 or 3 times a year, depending on how much the hood is used. New filters are to be
requested directly to the manufacturer. In order to replace the activated charcoal filters, you
should remove the anti-grease filters. Your are then to take off the activated charcoal filters
placed at the two sides of the aspirator. Turn the filters until they unfasten from aspirator

(Fig.

. Invert the operation in order to install the new charcoal filters.

Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings.

The hood features a LED light that, in addition to offering a good lighting and a significant

energy savings, are guaranteed to last on average 10 times more than traditional lights. For
replacement, contact the Assistance Service.).

This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.

Exhausting

(

Fig. 4

). The carbon filters should not be installed on the hood in exhausting

version.
Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector..
Pipes must be communicating with the exterior of the house. The diameter of the outlet of the
hood is 150mm. A 150-125 reduction is provided with the hood.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler or burner exhaust
pipes, etc.

Filtering

(

Fig. 5

). The fumes pass through the carbon filters to be purified and recycled into

the kitchen through a pipe connected to the outlet of the hood up to the hole in the top of the
cabinet. This hole must be free and communicating with the kitchen.
In the filtering version you must install the two carbon filters on the sides of the aspirator. To
install the carbon filters you must first remove the metal grease filters (

Fig. 6

) and then install

carbon filters by turning them counterclockwise (

The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself, therefore it must be
carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in case of its assignment to another owner or
user or in case the cooker hood is moved to another installation plant.
Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary to install the
cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent people. Any repair carried out by no
competent people may cause damages. For any repair or needed technical action make
reference to a Technical Assistance Center, which is authorized to carry out the replacement
of the spare parts.
