 GENERAL

1.1    

Carefully read the following important information regard-

ing installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information 

booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has 

been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to 

the outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the 

inside - Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).

 SAFETY PRECAUTION

2.1 

  Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultane-

ously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air 

in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical 

energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environ-

ment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The 

negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa 

(4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment 

for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws 

applicable for external air evacuation.

2.2 

Before connecting the model to the electricity net-

work:

- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) 

to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the 

network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified 

electrician.

- If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with 

another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained 

direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance 

Centre.

- This device must be connected to the supply network through 

either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected 

by 3A fuse.

2.3     Warning!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a 

danger hazard.

A)  Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker 

hood is operating.

B)  Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight 

after prolonged use of the lighting installation.

C)  Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker 

hood.

D)  Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a 

fire hazard.

E)  Constantly check food frying to avoid that the over-

heated oil may become a fire hazard.

F)  Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.

G)  This appliance is not intended for use by young children 

or infirm persons without supervision.

H)  Young children should be supervised to ensure they do 

not play with the appliance.

I)   There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when 

the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances 

burning gas or other fuels.

L)  There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in 

accordance with the instructions.

2.4 

  This appliance conforms to the European Directive 

2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). 

By making sure that this appliance is disposed of in a suitable 

manner, the user is helping to prevent potential damage to

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried 

out by specialised personnel.

3.2 

Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the 

installation.

3.3

Electric Connection:

Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:

- If the symbol   appears on the plate, it means that no earth 

connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow 

the instructions concerning insulation class II.

- If the symbol   DOES NOT appear on the plate, follow the 

instructions concerning insulation class I.

3.4

Insulation class II

- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore 

no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible 

after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equip-

ped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned 

omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between con-

tacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity 

supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.

- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = 

L

 line

BLUE = 

N

 neutral.

3.5

Insulation class I

This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to 

an effiecient earthing system.

- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as 

follows:

BROWN = 

L

 line

BLUE = 

N

 neutral

YELLOW/GREEN

=   earth.

The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the 

N 

symbol while the 

YELLOW/GREEN

, wire must be connected 

to the terminal by the earth symbol  .

When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make 

sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting 

the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is 

in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance 

is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar 

switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be 

placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the 

load required and it must comply with current legislation.

3.8

   If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum 

distance between the same and the lower part of the hood 

must be at least 

65 cm

. If a connection tube composed of two 

parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower 

part. Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same 

conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes 

from other appliances generated by other than an electrical 

source.

- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version 

prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
