Dear Customer,
If you follow the recommendations contained in this Instruction Manual, our
appliance will give you constant high performance and will remain efficient
for many years to come.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
INSTALLATION
* The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from
incorrect or improper installation.
* Please read this instruction manual before installing and using this range
hood. Please keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference.
* This range hood can be used either in the Ducted Mode (ducting fumes to
the outside) or in the Recirculation Mode (internal recycling). The choice of
modes can be left to the customers.
* Only a qualified and trained service technician can undertake the work of
installation and servicing.
* Check that the main voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the rating
plate fixed inside the hood.
* Do not connect the hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes
(boilers, fireplaces, etc.)
* If the hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e. g. gas
2
burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in
the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must
have an opening directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of
clean air.
* The minimum distance is 750mm from the range hood to a gas hob, and is
650mm to an electric hob. If the installation instructions for gas hobs specify
a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
NOTICE: Two or more people are required to install or move this appliance.
Failure to do so can cause physical injuries.

USE
* The range hood has been designed only for domestic use to eliminate
kitchen fumes.
* Never use the hood for purposes other than what it has been designed for.
* Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
* Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only;
making sure that it does not engulf the pan sides.
* Deep fat fryer must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil
can burst into flame.
* The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its
correct use.
MAINTENANCE
* Proper maintenance of the range hood will assure proper performance of
the unit.

INSTALLATION & USE
DESCRIPTION / CONNECTIONS
The hood may be installed in the Ducting or the Recalculating version.
FOR SINGLE MOTOR MODEL
It depends on the which wind part is installed on the range hood.
There are two wind pads for each range hoods, A and B.
With wind pad A installed, the range hood is in recirculation mode.
With wind pad B installed, the range hood is in ducting mode.

5
The other one will be packed in the parts bag as spare parts
Please
We recommend you: CHECK THAT THE WIND PAD IS CORRECT. The
wind pad is found on the motor unit and must be installed with wind pad A in
the case of RECIRCULATING mode.
If change to exhaust way, disassemble the metal lamp board first, then
change the part A to part B, which is as spare in the manual bag. Take away
the air outlet cover and install the air outlet adapter with no-return valve.
FOR TWIN MOTORS MODEL
CHECK THAT THE
DUCTING-RECIRCULATING LEVER IS IN
THE RIGHT POSITION: The lever is found on
the motor unit and must be positioned on the
symbol F in the case of installation in
recirculating version.
If change to exhaust way, rotate the lever to ducting mode, symbol E.
Then take away one of the air outlets on top or rear. Install the air
outlet adapter with no-return valve.
·Also remember that the use of charcoal filter/s is not necessary with the
ducting version; if these are fitted, please remove them.

6
Ducting version
The hood draws the cooking fumes saturated with
fumes and odor, through the grease filters and expels
it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this
version the charcoal filters are not required.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the
hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of
the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be
required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels Regulations
concerning the discharge of air have to be followed. Check with the local
authority and building codes for exhaust ducting requirements.
5. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work
back towards hood location.
Recalculating version
The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor through the
grease filters and charcoal filters and returns
clean air into the room. For constant efficiency,
the charcoal filters must be replaced periodically.
Caution: No need for plastic or rigid metal
ducting.
1. Install the charcoal filter.
2. Please note that the air is re-circulated into
the room through the front vents.

in the ducting version.
Electrical Connection
* Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service
entrance before wiring.
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
* Do not use the plug and an extension cord other than the ones initially
supplied with the hood.
INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation, to better
handle the hood, we advise removing the
filter.
Before fixing, the outlet exhaust duct for air
evacuation to the outside must be installed.
Use an outlet exhaust duct with: - minimum indispensable length;
-Minimum possible bends (maximum angle of bend: 90°); -certified material
(according to local, building & fire regulations); and as smooth as possible
inside. It is also advisable to avoid any drastic changes in duct cross-section
(recommended diameter: 125mm).
Drill the hole in the kitchen unit for the air outlet (133 mm diameter)。
Proceed with fixing the hood: Based on your requirements, you can fit the
hood on the wall or on a wall unit of your kitchen. IMPORTANT: Respect the
distance between the hob and lower part of the hood which must be at least
650mm.
Decide from the outset on the type of installation (recirculation or
ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood

1. Draw a line on the wall in vertical
line with your hob. Mark the 4 holes
to be drilled in the wall, respecting
the distances indicated; Make the 4
holes and fit the 4 screw anchors
provided. Take 2 of the screws
provided and insert them in the
topmost screw anchors without,
however, screwing them down
completely. Hang the hood on the 2
screws; Working from inside the
hood, tighten the 2 screws
completely.
