Safety instructions
At installation and service
●The cooker hood is made for normal house-
holds with normal cooking. If it is used for
other purposes there is a risk of damage
which is not covered by the warranty.
●All eventual electric installation has to be
carried out by a qualified electrician. The
installation of the hood should be made by
a person with enough knowledge.
Installation made otherwise could lead to
loss of performance and even injuries and /
or damage on properties.
●The hood cannot be connected to flues of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity.
Please, keep to the provisions of official
directives regarding the question of fumes
discharge.
●When the hood is used at the same time of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be
made for an adequate supply of air.
●When installed, the hood must be not
less than 60 cm. above electric burners
or 75 cm. above gas or mixed-fuel
burners. (Fig. 2).
●The power cord should be drawn so that
there is no risk of damage. Hazard!
At use of cooker hood
●No food must be cooked flambé underneath
the hood.
●The use of an unprotected flame is danger-
ous for the filters and could cause fires.
●Never leave the deep-frying or frying pan
over a cooker/hob. The oil contained in the
pan may spontaneously ignite through
overheating.
●Observe the filter change or cleaning inter-
vals. Failure to observe these intervals may
cause the risk of fire through fat deposition.
Note! If a fire starts; Switch of the cooker
hood and the heating zone; Cover the fire ,

- For air recycling
Exhausting version
The air is vented outdoors by a duct which must
be connected to connecting ring (S - Fig. 3).
The hood cannot be connected
to flues of other appliances that
run on energy sources other
than electricity.
Recycling version
The air is filtered through a carbon filter and
recirculated into the room through the outlet grids
(K - Fig. 3).
This version is used when there is no exhaust
duct for venting outdoors or when it is impossible

Using the hood
Speed regulation
The hood has a variable speed motor.
For the best performance, we recommend
using the highest speed in particular cases of
strong odour and vapour concentration.
We recommend starting up the hood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it running
until all the odours have been eliminated.
Work light
The hood has two lamps 40W (E14).
Switch lamps ON and OFF with the left slide
switch.
Correct ventilation
To have the cooker hood working correctly the
windows in the kitchen should be closed. In
stead a window in an adjacent room should be
open.
Important to know
If the hood is run at the same time as a burner
or fireplace that depend on ambient air (for
example gas, Diesel, coal or wood heaters,
water heaters, etc.) be careful, because the
hood, when it exhausts the air, removes the
ambient air required by the burner or fireplace
for combustion.
Not valid if the cooker hood is used in
recirculation mode.

Maintenance
Before performing any
maintenance operation,
disconnect the hood from
the electricity.
Grease filter - Fig. 6
This serves to hold the grease particles in sus-
pension. The metal filter should be washed every
month with warm soapy water or, if possible, in
the dishwasher (65°C).
Remove the filter:
●Push the spring handle towards the back, then
extract the filter downwards.
Leave to dry before refitting it.
Carbon filter - Fig. 7
This filter dissolves cooking odours.
It should be changed every 6-8 months in normal
use. Ask the technical assistance service or
manufacturing company for a new one.
The carbon filter must never be washed.
Mounting and dismounting of the carbon
filter:
a. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
b.Remove the grease filter.
c. To install the filters, place one filter on each
side so that they cover the grates protecting
the rotor on the motor. Then turn the center
handle for the filters in the clockwise direction.
d.To dismount the carbon filters (covering the
grates protecting the rotor on the motor) for
replacement, turn the central handle in the
counter-clockwise direction until the filters are
unlocked.
e. Remove the grease filter.
Attention
Failure to observe the rules for cleaning the
appliance and changing and cleaning the filters
may cause fires. Therefore, we recommend
observing these instructions.
Cleaning
To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid
detergents. Never use products containing
abrasives.
