• Electric Connection:
This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be con-
nected 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.
• If the cooker hood is installed above a glass ceramic
or induction hob, the minimum distance between the
hob and the hood is 45cm. For gas stoves the mini-
mum distance is 65cm. 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. Before
proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the
anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.10) so that the unit is easier to
handle.
- 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 a centralised suction device
perform the following operations:
- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve
using a electrical motor. By placing the switch in the
ON position and telescope pull-out, the valve opens
allowing suction of the stale air. By placing the switch
in the OFF position or close the pull-out, the valve
closes.
Before installing the cooker hood: assembly the
electrovalve kit K as shown in fig.2 - fig.6.
The electrovalve kit K can also be turned at 180°.
• Installation:
Depending on the version of the appliance you have,
proceed with the installation of type “A” (Fig.3) or type
“B” (Fig.4):
• Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall
cabinet:
Type “A”: 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.
Type “B“: For this type of hood make sure the thickness
of the cabinet falls within the range of values listed
in (Fig.4). Fit the cooker hood in the cabinet (Fig.4)
and make sure the springs are fixed in place well. Fix
the cooker hood to the cabinet securely by using a
screwdriver to tighten the screws until the appliance
is flush with the cabinet (Fig.5).
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.7 ), then ensure the ap-
pliance 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.3 - Fig.4).
• Adjusting the damper for proper extraction
(Fig.8):
The basic ventilation has 12 setting options to which
there are 12 corresponding forced settings.
BEWARE: The adjustment is done with closed valve.
Remove the grease filter and loosen the screws (A),
adjust the valve as needed (see the overview below).
Tighten the screw and reinstall the grease filter (see
extra page).
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.
• 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 clean-
