If the xed appliance is endowed with a sup-
ply cord and a plug, the appliance has to be
put in a place where the plug can be reached
easily.
* The use of materials which can burst into
ames should be avoided in close proxi-
mity of the appliance. When frying, please
pay particular attention to re risk due to
oil grease. Being highly inammable, fried
oil is especially dangerous. Do not use un-
covered electric grills.
In order to avoid possible re risk, all in-
structions for grase-lter cleaning and for
removing eventual grease deposits should
be strictly followed.
WARNINGS
* The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or inrm persons without
supervision. Young children should be su-
pervised to ensure they do not play with
the appliance.
* The cooker surface and the inferior part
of the cooker hood must be at a minimun
distance of 65 cm.
* The air sucked can’t be conveyed throu-
gh or into a duct used to let out fumes
from appliances fed by energy other than
electric power (eg. centralized heating, ra-
diators, water-heaters, etc.).
* To evacuate the air outlet, please comply
with the pertaining rules given by compe-
tent authorities.
* Provide the room with an adequate aeration
when a cooker hood and appliances fed by
energy other than electric power (gas-, oil-,
or coal- stoves, etc.) are used simultaneously.
The cooker hood, when evacuating the sucked
air, could generate a negative pressure in the
room- which can’t exceed the limit of 0.04
mbar, in order to avoid the suck of exhausts
deriving from the heat-source. Therefore the
room should be provided with air-intakes to
allow a costant ow of fresh air.
* When performing the electrical connections
on the appliance, please make sure that the
current-tap is provided with earth connection
and that voltage values correspond to those
indicated on the label placed inside the ap-
pliance itself.
* Before carrying out any cleaning or main-
taining operations, the appliance needs to
be removed from the electric grid. If the ap-
pliance is not provided with a non-separable
exible cable and plug, or with another de-
vice ensuring omnipolar disconnections from
the grid, with an opening distance between
the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such di-
sconnecting devices must be supplied within
the xed installation.
USES
The appliance is already arranged both for
ltering and for suction performances.
* In its ltering version (Fig.1), the air and
fumes conveyed by the appliance are depured
both by a grease lter and by an active coal
lter, and put again into circulation through
the side-grids of the chimney. For this ver-
sion an air deector placed on the superior
part of the pipe and allowing air-recycling is
necessary (Fig.1A).
* In its sucking version (Fig.2), fumes are di-
rectly conveyed outside, through an evacua-
tion duct connected with the superior part of
the wall or the ceiling. Both coal lter and air
deector are not necessary in this case.

TIMING
As a result of the new EU65 “Energy label” and
EU66 “ Ecodesign” regulations issued by the
European Commission, which came into force
as from January 1st, 2015 , our products have
been adapted to comply with these new re-
quirements.
All of the models complying with the energy
label requirements, are equipped with new
electronics including a timer device for suc-
tion speeds control, when the air capacity ex-
ceeds 650m³/h.
Internal motor models, with maximum air
capacity higher than 650m³/h, are equip-
ped with a timer device that automatically
switches the suction speed from 4th to 3rd
speed, after 5 minutes operation.
External motor models are equipped with re-
mote motors that , as for internal motor ver-
sions, include a timer device that switches
down the suction speed when it exceeds 650
mᵌ/h. (See External Motors Instructions ).
Remote motors, whose air capacity exce-
eds 650m³/h at both 4th and 3rd speed, will
have the following by default timer control
functions: The suction speed is automatical-
ly switched from 4th to 2nd speed, after 6
minu tes 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
stand – by mode is lower than 0.5W.
Learniing the new transmiissiion cod e :
Once the transmission code is changed in the radio
control unit, the electronic central unit of the cooker
hood must be made
to set the new code in the fol-
lowing way:
Press the main power-off button of the hood and
then
restore power to the electronic control unit.
Within the next 15 seconds, press the Liight Button
to
synchronise the central unit with the code.
Reset of the Factory con fii gu r a tii on:
To restore the Factory configuration, follow the pro-
cedure described below: press simultaneously but-
tons
for 2 seconds. When Leds light on, press buttons
(within 5 seconds). Leds flashing 6 times indicate
the procedure
is completed.
W ARN I N G ! This operation deletes permanently the
preset codes.
Emergency bu tt on:
In the event that the radio control does not work, use
the
emergency button to switch the appliance off.
After any
necessary repairs have been performed,
reset the emergency
button.
W ARN II N G
The battery should be replaced every year to guar-
antee the optimal range of the transmitter.
To
replace the exhausted battery, take the plastic
lid off, remove the battery and replace it with a new
one, observing the correct battery polarities.
Used batteries should be discarded in special col-
lection bins.

MAINTENANCE
* An accurate maintenance guarantees good
functioning and long-lasting performance.
* Particular care is due to the grease lter
panel. It can be removed by pushing its spe-
cial handle toward the back-side of the coo-
ker hood and turning the lter downwards so
to unfasten it from its slot (Fig.3A).
To insert the lter just perform the opposite
operation.
* In case the appliance is used in its ltering
version, the active coal lter (Fig.8Z) needs
to be periodically replaced.
The coal lter can be removed by removing
the grease lter rst (Fig.3A), and by pulling
its special plastic tongue until it is unfaste-
ned from its slot. Re-insert the coal lter by
operating in the opposite way. The coal lter
needs replacing depending on the use, but
however every six months at least.
* To clean the appliance itself tepid water and
neutral detergent are recommended, whi-
le abrasive products should be avoided. For
steel appliances specialized detergents are
recommended (please follow the instructions
indicated o the product itself to obtain the
desired results).
* Before replacing the lamps, disconnect the
appliance from the electric mains. Remove
the grease lter and the carbon lter, if it is
inserted. Once the burnt out bulb is localized,
turn it anticlockwisely and replace it with a
bulb of the same type.
To replace the dichroic lamp, remove the
lamp (Fig.9) by inserting a screwdriver or
another sharp tool between the lamp and its
chrom support and replace it with a lamp of
the same kind.
* If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its sevice
agent or a similarly qualied person in order
to avoid a hazard.
