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.
• ATTENTION:should the lamps not work, make sure they are well
tightened.
•INSTALLATION
The following instruction should be followed to carry out the correct
installation of the cooker hood.
1) Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the cupboard.
2) Selection of the version (extraction or filtration)
Mounting the cooker hood on the lower side of the cupboard. This
appliance must be fitted to a cupboard or other suitable support. For
fixing use 4 screws suitable for the cupboard, using the hole in Fig.1.
When mounting align the front of the cooker hood to the door of the
cupboard and regulate the Lwall spacer through the screws marked
P(Fig 2). The rear of the appliance must then align with the cupboard.
• EXTRACTION THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is
necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards
in use (inflammable with diameter 120mm) and connect it to flange B
(Fig 3).
• RECIRCULATION
To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to the re
circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon filter. The
activated carbon filter cleans the air of the room. This filter is not
washable or re-usable and must be substituted at least every 4 months.
Saturation of the activated charcoal depends on how often the appliance
is used, the type of kitchen and how regularly the grease filter is cleaned.
The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker hood in the
centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees until it is gripped
securely. For this operation remove the grill G(Fig 2). The clean air
is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the
cupboard and connected to the ring B(fig 4).
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 eliminate 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.
