GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding
installation safety and maintenance.Keep this information booklet
accessible for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed as a exhausting version
(external exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) cooker
hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. ake care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously
with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the
environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as
the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a
burner or fireplace need for combustion.
The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4 Pa
(4 x 10 -5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe
operation of the cooker hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
2. WARNING!!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a
danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood
is operating
B) Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated
oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no
earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = Lline
BLUE = Nneutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on
the description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood
must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between
contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must
be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of
direct connection to the electrical network.
• The appliance must be installed at a minimum height of 650 mm
from an cooker stove.
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper
part must be placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor
used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other
appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
• Mounting the cooker hood to the wall
Drill holes A-C-D according to indications quoted in (fig. 3).
Use screws and screw anchors suitable for wall (e.g. reinforced
cement, plasterboard) for the mounting of the cooker hood.
Where screws and screw anchors are supplied ensure that they
are suitable for the type of wall where the cooker hood is to be
mounted.
Lock in the flange connector Yto the cooker hood (fig.2).
Affix the bracket Zto the wall via the drill holes A(fig. 4).
Hang the cooker hood on the wall using the drill holes C(fig. 3).
Fasten the cooker hood using the fastening drill holes D(fig. 3).
• Exhausting Version
Connect the flange Yto the discharge opening with a connecting
3
tube (do not carry out for filter version).
Thread the upper connector E to the inside of the lower connector
F; hang the two connectors inserting them vertically on the cooker
hood locking the lower connector Fto the wall using the drill holes
B(fig.3), unthread the upper connector E towards the top, locking
it in with the appropriate screws in the drill holes Gof the bracket
Z(fig. 2) previously affixed to the wall via the drill holes A(fig. 3).
In order to transform your cooker hood from exhausting version
to filter version, ask your local retailer for active carbon filters and
then carry out instructions for mounting filter version cooker hood.
• Filter Version
Install the cooker hood and the two connectors as described in
the paragraph mounting the exhausting version cooker hood.
To mount the filter connector refer to instructions included in the
kit.
If the kit is not supplied, then order the kit as an accessory from
your local dealer.
The filters must be applied to the exhausting kit located inside the
cooker hood and centred by rotating at 90 degrees until locked in.
The air is replaced in the environment via the eyelets impressed
on the connector E.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15
minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely elimi-
nate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the
regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active
carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended
in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the
frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the
filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following
instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a
solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes.
This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of
panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the
environment. The filters are not washable nor re-useable and
must be replaced at maximum every four months.The saturation
of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the
appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning
the anti-grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly
using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive
liquid detergent.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHINGTHE ABOVE
WARNINGS.
