GENERAL SAFETY
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 50cm 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.
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.
WARNING!
Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is
fully complete.
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect hood from the mains
by removing the plug or disconnecting the mains electrical supply.
Always wear work gloves for all installation and maintenance operations.
The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with impaired
physical, sensorial or mental faculties, or if lacking in experience or knowledge,
unless they are under supervision or have been trained in the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults, children should be
monitored to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be
allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating!
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically
indicated.
The premises where the appliance is installed must be sufficiently ventilated,
when the kitchen hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or
other fuels.
The ducting system for this appliance must not be connected to any existing
ventilation system which is being used for any other purpose such as discharging
exhaust fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited.
The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and may cause a fire risk,
and must therefore be avoided in all circumstances.
Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil does not
overheat and ignite.
With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume
discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the
authorised authorities.
The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and outside (AT LEAST
ONCE A MONTH).
This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance instructions
provided in this manual). Failure to follow the instructions provided in this user
guide regarding the cleaning of the hood and filters will lead to the risk of fires.
Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted due to the
possible risk of electric shocks.
We will not accept any responsibility for any faults, damage or fires caused to the
appliance as a result of the non-observance of the instructions included in this
manual.
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. If it not
fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an
accessible area 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.
Replacing the power cable
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged,
request a new one from Technical Service.
AIR VENT
(for the suction versions)
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.
!
Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
!
The duct must be made of certified material.
!
The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are
not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING ?
!
Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version.
To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be
installed.
Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished
or must be bought separately.
Note:
If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering
system may be installed on the hood.
Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering
version is present in this manual.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside 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 =
150mm.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°)
and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be
removed.
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.
