Tecnogas SLIM 4 XWM, User Instructions

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

prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.

•  

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.

•  

If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations 

supplied with acentralised suction device perform the 

following operations:

- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using 

a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the 

ON 

position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing 

suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the

 OFF

position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.

•  Installation:

The following instruction should be followed to carry out the 

correct installation of the cooker hood.

1. Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the 

cupboard.

2. Selection of the version (extraction Fig.3A or filtration 

Fig.3B).

•  

F

ixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:

This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or 

inside another type of support structure. To fix it in place, use 

4 screws which are suitable for the type of cabinet, making 

holes in accordance with the diagram shown in (Fig.1). To fit 

the appliance correctly, align the front panel of the cooker 

hood with the cabinet door and adjust spacer 

L

 using screws 

P

(Fig.2), then ensure the appliance meets the cabinet at the rear.

•  Extraction through an outside wall:

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 

H

 (Fig.3A).

•  Recirculation:

To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to 

the re circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon 

filter. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker 

hood in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees 

until it is gripped securely (Fig.5). For this operation remove the 

anti-grease filter(s) 

G

 (Fig.4). The clean air is returned into the 

room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard 

and connected to the ring 

H

 (Fig.3B).

  USE AND MAINTENANCE

•  

We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before 

any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is 

left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order 

to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective 

performance of the cooker hood depends on constant 

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

both require special attention.

•  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.

-  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.

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

not give the right to claim their replacement.

•  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.

-  The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced 

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.

•  Before  remounting  the  anti-grease  filters  and  the 

regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they 

are completely dry.

•  Clean  the  hood  frequently,  both  internally  and 

externally,  using  a  cloth  dampened  with  denatured 

alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

•  

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.

•  

If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible 

to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount 

of time.

•  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.

•  Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.6):

To replace the halogen light bulbs 

B

, remove the glass pane 

C

using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs 

with new ones of the same type. 

Caution:

 do not touch the 

light bulb with bare hands.
