INSTALLING THE EXTRACTOR
Before carrying out the appliance installation, please check that all components are not damaged,
in such a case contact your retailer and do not carry out any installation operation.
› Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove the safety piece you can see in the
picture (Fig. 1). Furthermore, please read carefully all of the following
installation instructions.
› Use an air exhausting pipe whose maximum length
does not exceed 5 meters.
› Limit the number of elbows in the piping, since each
elbow reduces the air capacity of 1 linear meter. (eg.
if you use no. 2 x 90° elbows, the length of piping
should not exceed 3 meters).
› Avoid abrupt direction changes.
› Use a 150mm constant diameter rigid ducting pipe for
the whole length.
› Use piping approved by standards in force.
The manufacturer shall not be deemed responsible for air capacity or noise problems caused by
failure to comply with the above instructions and no warranty on the product shall be provided.
› Before making the hole, check that there are no
structural or other parts inside the cabinet, where
the appliance is to be placed, which could hinder a
proper installation. Check that the dimensions of the
Downdraft and the ones of the cook top are compatible
with the cabinet so that the installation can be carried
out properly.
› Make a rectangular opening, 842 x 100mm in size, in
the back of the cook top for the 90cm model, 1142 x
100mm for the 1200cm model and 542 x 100mm for
the 60cm model.
› Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above as shown in (Fig. 2).

› Fix the downdraft inside the cabinet, using the
special fixing brackets supplied with the product
(Fig. 3). Insert the brackets in the lower side
of the downdraft (Fig. 3), in such a way that
there is a 2mm distance between the lower side
of bracket and the bottom of the cabinet (Fig. 3).
This distance will allow the traction to be positioned
downwards of the product, at the moment of fixing,
in order to have the stainless steel trim perfectly
adhering with the work surface. Before inserting
the screws, please make sure that the appliance is
perfectly perpendicular with the work surface.
› Once the installation is complete and after connecting the appliance to the mains power, lift
up the downdraft and remove the door block (Fig. 4); then open the door (Fig. 5) and fit the
filters in place (Fig. 6).
In the version of the Downdraft equipped with internal motor, install the power unit
orienting the air outlet to the desired position, either downwards or upwards (Fig. 7).
The motor can be installed either on the front or rear side of the downdraft. After installing
the motor, connect the air ducts.

TIMING
› This product is equipped with intelligent electronics which include a timer device for speed
controls when the air capacity exceeds 650m³/h. Internal motor models, with maximum air
capacity higher than 650m³/h, are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches
the speed from 4th to 3rd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
› External motor models are equipped with remote motors that, as for internal motor versions,
include a timer device that switches down the speed when it exceeds 650 m³/h.(See
External Motors Instructions). Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds 650m³/h at both
4th and 3rd speed, will have the following by default timer control functions: The speed is
automatically switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
› If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically switched to 2nd speed, after
› 7 minutes operation. Operation speeds can also be changed during operation. The energy
consumption of the appliance in standby mode is lower than 0.5W.

CLEANING THE EXTRACTOR
Careful maintenance ensures the correct operation and optimal performance.
CAUTION:
The hood must be disconnected from the electrical network, both by unplugging the appliance
from the socket and activating the magnetic circuit breaker (safety cut-out), before removing the
metal grease filters. After cleaning operations, replace the metal grease filters as outlined in the
installation instructions.
MAINTENANCE HOW TO PROCEED? ACCESSORY PRODUCTS TO USE
External surfaces
and accessories
Do not use metallic scrubbers,
abrasive products, or hard brushes.
To clean the external surfaces of the cooker hood
and the light housing screen use only commercially
available household detergents diluted in water.
Then rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Active charcoal filter
with extractable
unit open
After 30 hours of operation, the
downdraft will signal the grease
filter saturation.
The saturation is signalled by the
blinking of the 4 central LED’s.
To reset, hold down the timer button

The grease filters can be washed by hand or in
the dishwasher. These filters need to be cleaned
on a regular basis, because otherwise they may
represent a fire risk.
Refit the grease filters and front panel, making
sure that the panel is properly fitted at the sides so
that it does not cause the downdraft to
stop operating.
Active charcoal filter In the recirculation mode, the active
charcoal filter must be replaced
periodically.
To remove the charcoal filter first
of all it is necessary to remove the
grease filter and then pull the plastic
key of the panel itself, in order to
disengage it from its seating.
Follow these steps in reverse order to
insert the active charcoal filter.
Replace the used charcoal filter on an
average of every six months.
