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 OF THE HOOD
Fix the connection (G) fig. 3 to the hood with the 2 appropriate
screws 3x13.
Adjust and block the telescopic carrying structure (A) fig. 3
according to the desired height and fix it to the hood.
Insert the two telescopic sections (B and D) fig. 3.
Block the lower connection (B) to the the carrying structure (A) fig.
3through 2screws(ISOLAfig.1).
Drill 4 holes to the ceiling and fix the hood through 4 screws and
dowels, which are appropriate for that kind of ceiling and its
material.
Remove the the inner (upper) connection (D) and block it in the
upperpartofthecarryingstructurethroughthe2screws(E)fig.3.
• EXHAUSTING VERSION
Inthe casethat an externalevacuation pipeline tubeexists,
thenconnect aflexible tubeto theconnector (G) previously
fastenedto thehood; and thenfollow the instructionsas
described in the preceding paragraph (MOUNTINGTHE HOOD).
• FILTERING VERSION
Insertbetween the carrying structureand ceiling the airdeviator (I)
fig.3.
Active carbon filters are necessary to depurate the air, that will be
released in the room. Filters are not washable; they cannot be
regenerated and have to be replaced at most every 4 months. The
saturation of the activated charcoal depends on the more or less
prolonged use of the hood, on the type of cooking and on the
regularity of cleaning the grease filter. The filter has to be applied
to the aspirating group, which is inside the hood hiting the centre
of the group with it and turning it of 90 degrees until the stop click
is heard to lock it. The air is released in the room through the holes
made on the telescopic section (A) and on the upper connection
(E) fig. 3.
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.
