Introduction

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENC-
ING INSTALLATION. CHECK THAT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY DATA
QUOTED ON THE RATING PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE AGREES WITH
THAT OF YOUR SUPPLY. (SEE NOTE “SAFETY REQUIREMENTS”)
These instructions are designed to tell you of the various technical details
of your cooker hood and to make you familiar with its use. Since these
instructions cover more than one type of the hood within the same series,
it may be that reference is made to components that do not form part of the
hood that you are installing. The hood may be used as an exhaust or filter
hood. If evacuation is available (exhaust duct or air flue) we recommend
using the hood in the exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen vapors
and odors outdoors.
Suggestions for using the hood in exhaust position
When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas,
oil, coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time, attention is required because
the air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through the
hood and this creates depression. There is no such danger when the
maximum depression in the room is 0,04mbar. In this condition no exhaust
gas from the heat source is piped. To assure this condition, make openings
in the room which cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are not sufficient)
and through which the air necessary for combustion can freely flow.
Note: All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be studied.
In case of doubts, get advise or authorization from the person or agency
responsible for the building. When using gas burners, gas ovens, etc. as
well as when using the hood in the filter version, these precautions are not
necessary.
Note: The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the
ducts and number of elbows increase. When using the exhaust version,
follow these rules: Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimney, flues, and
air ducts serving the room. Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no
longer in use, ask for the approval of the person or agency responsible for
the building. The evacuated air must not be let into a warm air duct. For the
evacuation of the exhausted air please note ufficial instructions.
Installation
The hood must be mounted over the centre of the cooking area. The
minimum distances between the cooking area and the underpart of the hood
are 650 mm.
Warning: If the room contains a flued fuel burning appliance which is not of
the “balance flue” type make sure these is an adequate air inlet to the room
at all times so that fumes are not drawn down the flue.
N.B. The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect in the
various countries. Before drilling the wall  make sure that no pipes or cables
will be damaged. If there is no outer waste-pipe for the exhaust version, an
air outlet with a diameter of Ø160mm, in case you use the spigot reduction
(pict.5/C) you need an exhaust outlet of 130mm.
Attention: Take attention that the wall will support the weight of the cookerhood
(about 30 Kg). The screws supplied with this rangehood are designed for
fixing to reinforced concrete, masonry walls or hollow building blocks.
Installation without bracket
1) Set the distance between the cooker hob and the hood (pict. 4).
2) Fix the two screws and the two upper plugs into the wall at the height

previously chosen (pict. 5).

3) Hang the hood to the wall checking that the screw (pict. 5/P) correctly

fits into the hole (pict. 5/R).

4) In order to provide an exact installation the cooker hood (in the rear of

the body) is supplied with two holes of 8 mm diameter, where the two
screws with plugs have to be inserted. Insure that all parts are properly
fixed and that it is impossible to touch moving parts.

Connection filtering /exhaust
1) In the exhaust version link a 125 mm diameter air outlet chimney to the

spigot (pict. 5/M). This pipe is not supplied  with the hood.

2) If the filtering connection (pict. 5/N) is made of steel fix it onto the hood

outlet by means of the three screws supplied.

Installation of the pipes  (valid for exhaust or filter version)
1) Fix the bracket (pict. 5/D) with 2 plugs and screws (pict. 5/E) in the

required high for the pipe.

2) Screw the short pipe (pict. 5/F) with 2 screws on the bracket (pict. 5/

G).

3) Put the long pipe over the short one (pict. 5/I) by pulling a part the laterals

of the pipe.

4)  Fix the long chimney from the outside (pict. 5/L) by using two screws
which must be inserted into the holes at the foot of the chimney (pict. 5/H).
Electric connection
Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the
appliance data plate.
Attention: if the appliance is not provided with a plug or cannot be easily
connected to a wall socket, then the electrical circuit must incorporate a
circuit breaker having at least a 3 mm separation between contacts. If the
appliance is provided with a supply cord and plug, the appliances must be
positioned so that the plug is accessible.

Attention: the electrical supply cable must be connected as follow:
Green/Yellow=ground

—

Blue = neutral

—

Brown = line
Important: the hood manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage
or loss caused by failure to observe these instructions.
Important: a damaged power supply cord must be replaced by the service.
Operating instructions
The  cooker hood should be switched on either before or at the same as
cooking or frying commences. The grease and carbon filters are more
effective if the fan is not switched off immediately after cooking or frying is
completed, but only after a period of some 20-30 minutes. Before using the
cooker hood please ensure that all plastic films like on metal grease filter an
stainless steel ducting are removed.
User instructions
Working instruction of the cooker hood
Mechanical Switches (Pict.3) (slide or pushbutton)
1 - Speed Switch

2 - Light Switch

Lamp Replacement
To changes a incandescent bulbs please work from outside of the hood
means to pull off the lamp diffuser. Never use lamps with a wattage higher
than the one shown on the label inside the hood.
Safety rules
Do not do any flambé cooking underneath the hood. When frying, never
leave the pan alone because the cooking oil could flare up. Clean all the
surfaces frequently to avoid danger of fire. This can be done with a cloth or/
and with a brush drenched with denatured alcohol or with any other similar.
It is also important to remove and clean or substitute frequently the filter
installed in the hood. This appliance is not intended for use by small children
or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Maintenance
NOTE: Prior to any maintenance, switch off and disconnect from electrical
supply.
1) Under normal cooking conditions the grease filter should be cleaned

every 10-15 days in hot water, to which a suitable detergent has been
added. For reasons of efficiency and safety regular cleaning is advised.
The grease filter may be subject to a small amount of shrinkage initially.

2) The outer casing of the Cooker Hood should be cleaned with a damp

cloth.

3) The effective life of the carbon filter will naturally depend on the frequency

and type of cooking fumes to which it is subject. As general guide we
suggest that a replacement is fitted at least every 12 months.

4) Once a year, (more frequently with heavy usage), call a serviceman to

clean the fan and air ducts to prevent build-up of flammable fat deposits.

The carbon filter
When a carbon filter is fitted, the air that is sucked in is additionally cleaned
by the active carbon particles within the filter.
This filter cannot be cleaned and so needs to be replaced from time to time,
approximately every six months, depending on how frequently the hood is
in use.
Replacing the active carbon filter  (only for recirculation hoods)
The filter can be easily removed it is sufficient to rotate it anticlockwise (pict.
2).
Grease filter
This absorbs vapour-suspended grease particles and protects the kitchen
and furniture from greasy residues.  The filter should be washed every 10
to 15 days (in normal operating conditions). Dip the filter into a de-greaser
solution or put it in the dish washer. Make sure not to damage the filter, which
is made of several layers of thin alloy, by hitting or crushing it.
The aluminium filter will may change colour, that will have no influence of the
efficiency of the filter, may it will improve it.
Replacing or cleaning the filters
To remove the aluminium grease filter (pict.1), grab the opening tongue at
the filter, pull it in your direction and move the filter downwards. To reinstall
it operate reversed.
Safety Requirements
Exhaust air must not be discharged into any chimney, or flue which may
carry combustion products from other sources. In addition, exhaust air
must not be discharged into a wall cavity unless designed for the pur-
pose. Note instructions for cleaning fan as note “4” on “MAINTE-
NANCE”. Moreover it is important to clean regularly each filter of the
hood or replace it. N.B. THE RANGEHOOD IS DESIGNED FOR IN-
DOOR USE ONLY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS
UNIT BE INSTALLED IN OUTDOOR CONDITION OR OVER A BAR-
BECUE.
