3.9

   We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has 

the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with 

a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may 

be reduced and its operation may become noisier.

3.18    Warning: 

if the bulbs are not working, ensure that they 

are screwed in fully.

3.19    Installation:

Prior to proceeding with the assembly operations (according 

to the model that you have purchased), to facilitate handling 

of the device, remove the grille as indicated in figure 8 or the 

aluminium panels as indicated in figure 9.

3.20   

The flange 

D

, to which the air exhaust pipe is connected, 

and a plug 

B

, used to shut off the unused air outlet, are both 

supplied with the product.

3.21   

This device may be installed in two different ways:

1. Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet 

(Fig.2):

- Make 4 holes in the wall cabinet respecting the measurements 

indicated in figures 2A-2C.

- Position the hood underneath the wall cabinet and fix it into 

place using 4 screws (not supplied) suitable for the type of 

cabinet.

2. Fixing the hood to the wall (Fig.2):

- Make 4 holes in the wall cabinet respecting the measurements 

indicated in figures 2A-2B.

- Hang the hood on the wall, using the 2 holes 

H

, align it in a 

horizontal position and fix it definitively to the wall using the 

two lower safety holes 

I 

(Fig.2B).

- For the various installations use screws and screw anchors 

suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plaster-

board, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with 

the product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall 

on which the hood is to be fixed.

3.22    Mounting decorative ducts (optional):

- This hood model may have decorative ducts as optional ac-

cessories - ask your retailer for information.

- Provide the electrical power supply within the space of the 

decorative duct.

- If your appliance must be installed as an extractor version or 

as a version with an external motor, make sure an air exhaust 

hole is prepared (Fig.1B - Fig.1C).

- Adjust the width of the upper duct support bracket (Fig.4). 

Then fix it to the wall so that it is on the same axis as the hood 

using screws 

A

 (Fig.4) and adhering to the distance from the 

ceiling shown in (Fig.2B). Connect the flexible hose (not sup-

plied) to the flange 

D

 (Fig.1B).

- Put the upper connector 

F 

into the lower connector 

G

 and 

hang the decorative ducts on the wall, as indicated in figure 5.

- Connect the flexible hose to the air exhaust hole made previ-

ously (only in the extraction or external motor version).

- Pull out the top connector 

F 

as far as the bracket and fix it 

using screws 

C

 (Fig.4).

- When carrying out the fixing procedures, use only screws 

and screw anchors which are suited to the type of wall (e.g. 

reinforced concrete, plasterboard etc.).

- If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the ap-

pliance, make sure that they are suited to the type of wall to 

which the hood must be fixed.

3.23   

The hood is already prepared for the version with which 

it was ordered. The versions may be:

- Extraction

 (Fig.1B-6).

- Filter

 (Fig.1A-7-11).

- If the hood is an 

extractor

 model, the lever 

C

 must be posi-

tioned as indicated in figure 6.

- If the hood is a 

filter

 model, the lever 

C

 must be positioned 

as indicated in figure 7.

3.24    Extractor  version:

The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or 

a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance 

with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to 

flange 

D

 (Fig.1B). The flange 

D

 is supplied with the product 

and should be fixed above the air outlet hole of the hood as 

indicated in figure 6.

3.25    Filtering  version:

To transform an extractor hood version into a filter hood ver-

sion, contact your appliance dealer and ask for active charcoal 

filters. The filters should be fitted to the extraction assembly 

inside the hood, by centring them and rotating them 90 

degrees, until they click into place (Fig.11). To do this, remove 

the grille 

D

 or the panels 

G

 (Fig.8 - Fig.9). Close the air outlet 

opening with the plug 

B

, as indicated in figure 7.

 USE AND MAINTENANCE

4.1 

  We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on 

before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the ap-

pliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, 

in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The ef-

fective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant 

maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter 

both require special attention.

4.2 

The anti-grease filter

 is responsible retaining the grease 

particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging 

with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

4.3 

  To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 

months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using 

non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher 

at low temperatures and on short cycles.

4.4

1

  In the event that acrylic anti-grease filters are used, 

hand-wash every 2 months, using neutral non-abrasive liquid 

detergents and replace them after every 6 washes.

4.5 

  After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does 

not give the right to claim their replacement.

4.6 

The active carbon filters

 are used to purify the air that 

is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the 

unpleasant odours produced by cooking.

4.7 

  The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be re-

placed at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active 

charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the 

appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with 

which anti-grease filter is cleaned.

4.8 

Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the 

regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they 

are completely dry.

4.9 

Clean the hood frequently, both internally and exter-

nally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or 

neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

4.10  

 The lighting system is designed for use during cooking 

and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The 

prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases 

the average duration of the bulbs.

4.11  

Attention:

 the non compliance with the hood cleaning 

warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters 

entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the 

suggested instructions.
