This hood is supplied with specially designed
butterfly type fixing brackets S(fig. 1) and
can be installed following these instructions:
4.1 - Fitting the group inside a decorative
canopy

of the canopy in accordance with the table
below leaving 15 mm from the lateral and
back edges of the canopy (fig. 2):
2 - Cut a hole in the upper part of the ca-
nopy, where you prefer to have the air-out-
let, according to the diameter of the duct
and following the instructions of the table
below.
3 - Fix the ducting spigot Rin the upper
part of the hood (see paragraph 4.3 1b).
4 - Insert the upper part of the hood through
the hole cut in the underside of the canopy
(ensuring that the butterfly catches Sare
loose enough so that they spring open) and
hook onto the base of the canopy.
5 - Access to the securing screws in the but-
terfly brackets is through two holes in the
lower casing as illustrated in fig. 3. Turn the
screws clockwise until the hood is firmly
attached to the cabinet.

4.3 - Ducting or recirculation fitting
1- Ducting fitting:
a - The cooker hood can be ducted to the
outside using either a fire retardant rigid or
flexible ducting of 100 or 120 mm diameter.
The choice is left to the installer (fig. 4).
b - The ducting spigot Rsupplied has an air
outlet of 100 mm diameter. To adapt the
spigot to 120 mm diameter cut along the
slot as illustrated in fig. 5 using a sharp knife.
c - Connect the ducting spigot Rto the
cooker hood by placing the spigot over the
rectangular outlet on the top of the upper
assembly and secure the spigot using two of
the screws provided as illustrated in fig. 6.
The ducting can now be connected to the
spigot Aensuring that an air tight sealed is
obtained.
d - If the hood is provided with the charcoal
filter fitted, the filter should be removed (see
paragraph 3.3 2 2nd Part).
2- Recirculation fitting:
a - Fit the charcoal filter inside the hood
(see paragraph 3.3 2, 2nd Part).
b - Connect spigot Rto the hole cut on top
of the canopy for the air outlet in the same
way as for the ducting fitting.
c - When the hood is installed in the recir-
culation mode, the air is recirculated into
the kitchen through a pipe connecting spigot
Rto the upper part of the canopy (fig. 7).
Part 2 OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
It is most important that all the warnings
contained in paragraph 2 of the Installa-
tion instructions are strictly observed.
Moreover,specialattentionshouldbe paid
to the following warnings appertaining to
theuseandmaintenanceofthecookerhood.
1.1 - This appliance is designed to be operated
by adults.
1.2 - The grease filters and charcoal filters
should be cleaned or replaced as recom-
mended by the manufacturer or more
frequently if the hood is used consistently
for more than 4 hours per day.
1.3 - When using a gas hob in conjunction with
this cooker hood never leave the burners
of the hob uncovered while the hood is in
use, or when the pans have been remo-
ved. Switch off the gas when removing
the pan.
1.4 - Always ensure that the flame is kept at
the correct intensity to prevent the flame
from licking round from the bottom of
the pan; this will save energy and will
avoid a dangerous concentration of heat.
1.5 - This hood should be used for the purpose
for which it was designed; to remove
odours from cooking in the kitchen.
2 - OPERATION
2.1 - Functions
Controls are located on the lower part of the

Position 2, medium speed, should be selected
fornormalcooking.Thisspeedoffersthebest

ratio of air capacity and noise level.
Position3,topspeed,shouldbeselectedwhen

even for sustained periods.
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will en-
sure good performance and reliabilty, while
extending the working life of the hood. Spe-
cial attention should be taken to ensure that
the grease filters and charcoal filters (when
thehoodisusedintherecirculationmode)are
cleaned and replaced as recommended.
3.1 - Thin synthetic filter
1- Cleaning:
This filter cannot be washed and should be
replaced every two months. If the filter is
provided with a saturation indicator, replace
when the violet colour of the dots which are
visible from the outside is spread over the
whole surface of the filter.
2 - Replacing:
The filter is located on the reverse side of the
metal grille. To replace it first open the grille
as illustrated in fig. 9 and then remove the
metal wire clips. Replace by reversing the
operations.
3.2 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
The metal grease filters replace the metal
grille completely and should be cleaned
every two months with normal usage. Their
compact dimensions allow them to be
cleaned in a dishwasher. Before replacing
the filters ensure that they are dry.
2- Removal of metal filter for cleaning
Remove one filter a time (2 filters are requi-
red for the cooker hood in 54 cm and 3 filters
for the hood in 72 cm) supporting them with
one hand. Apply slight inward pressure to the
actuators to release the securing bolts as
illustrated in fig. 11. When replacing the fil-
ters care should be taken that the securing
bolts face downwards.
3.3 - Charcoal filter
1- Working:
In the recycling mode the charcoal filter
absorbs smells and odours during cooking
until it reaches saturation point.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced at least every 4 months or
more frequently if the hood is used consist-
ently.
2- Replacement:
a-To remove the charcoal filter first open the
lower grille or remove the metal filters as
instructed in paragraph 3.1 2a and 3.1 2b.
b - Remove the separating plate if your
cooker hood is in 54 cm and with metal
filters (fig. 12).
c - Remove the charcoal filter by pressing
inwardly on the two catches while pushing
the filter backwards and down as illustrated
in fig. 13.
d - The charcoal filter should be replaced by
reversing the operation.
3.4 - Worktop illumination
The hood may be fitted with a 15W fluor-
escent strip lamp or with two 40W lamps.
To replace them proceed as follows:
a - Remove one of the two plastic covers T
by loosening the fixing screw; the glass dif-
fuser is retained in position by the metal
retaining lug L (fig. 14);
b - Slide the diffuser towards the side where
the plastic cover Thas been removed until
the opposite end is free (arrow 1); Pull the
glass diffuser down slightly (arrow 2) and
then move it back in the opposite direction
until the lighting diffuser can be released
from the retaining lugs L (arrow 3) (fig.
15);
c - When replacing the fluorescent strip lamp
an identical replacement must be fitted ro-
tating it trough 90 degrees;
replace the lamps fitted in the lampholders
with identical replacements;
d - Refit the glass diffuser by reversing the
operations.
3.5 - Cleaning
The interior and exterior of the hood should
be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like
new. Clean using a damp cloth wrung out in
hot water and mild household detergent and
dry with a soft cloth.
Always use non abrasive cleaning materials
especially when cleaning stainless steel sur-
faces.
