electric cookers and for gas or mixed cookers.
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B
for discharge of fumes to the outside ( Ducting
v rsion  exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps
not provided).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking
fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be
used in the filt r v rsion , fitting an activated
carbon, fumes and vapours are recycled through
the top of the hood.
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the
hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However,
a qualified technician must verify suitability of
the materials in accordance with the type of wall/
ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough
to take the weight of the hood.

correspond to the lower side of the hood the
second at 18 1/16 over the first.
This last corresponds to the location of the
upper hood support fixing holes.
2. Rest the hood support bracket on the wall so
that its center coincides with the center ver-
tical line, and through the upper holes the
upper horizontal line is visible, mark the four
outer holes and drill them, insert 4 wall plugs
and fix the hood support bracket into place
using four screws.

3. Fix the lower bracket on the hood using two
screws (already in place).
4. Fix the supplied hooks C on both side of the
motor housing (use two screws each hooks)

 The hood is fitted with one motor having
several speed. Turn the hood on a few minu-
tes before you start cooking, you will then
get an under pressure in the kitchen. The
hood should be left on after cooking for
about 15 minutes or until all the odours have
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the units
front panel:
 The hood operation may be controlled via
the control ball or with the remote control
(the remote control is a special accessory and
is ordered separately).
Every status change (changing speed,
switching on the lights, etc.) and is
recognizable from the variation of light
emitted by the control ball and by an acoustic
signal.
The control ball serves also as a light signal :
 No signal :
The hood is switched off.
 Static gr n light :
Hood is switched on at power level 1 (mini-
mum).
 Static orang light :
Hood is switched on at power level 2 (me-
dium).
 Static r d light :
Hood is switched on at power level 3 (maxi-
mum).
 Alt rnating r d light :
Hood is switched on at intensive power level
(timed at 5 minutes)
 Alt rnating gr n light :
Indicates the grease filter saturation - clean
the grease filter
 Alt rnating orang light :
Indicates the charcoal filter saturation -

adequately aerated when the cooker hood and
other appliances powered by other than
electricity are used at the same time. Flambé
cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The
use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and
may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame
cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods must
be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes
discharging in accordance with the regulations
in force by local laws for safety and technical
restrictions.
