Grease filter
Fig. 2-9
Traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher,
which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
Circular charcoal filter
Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the
motor impeller, then turn clockwise.
For the disassembly, turn counter-clockwise.
The activated charcoal filter can be one of these types:
• Washable activated charcoal filter.
• NON-washable activated charcoal filter.

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or
when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on
the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot
water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if
the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave
dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.

The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less
prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four months.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start
cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is
finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of
smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme
situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to
maintain a good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease
filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter
efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system
indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize
noise.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate si-
tuated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in com-
pliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installa-
tion. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located
in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance
with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under condi -
tions 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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the supply cord is damaged, it
mounting only.

weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
Warnings
The hood is designed to be installed in a dropped ceiling. The dropped ceiling must be
sturdy and have a load-bearing capacity suitable for a product with weight of 30kg.
Do not install the hood directly in the dropped ceiling panels, but use a suitable
frame or support.
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 55cm 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.
