If the extractor is sed in conj nction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas
b rning appliances), a s fficient degree of aeration m st be g aranteed in
the room in order to prevent the backflow of exha st gas. When the cooker
hood is sed in conj nction with appliances s pplied with energy other than
electric, the negative press re in the room m st not exceed 0,04 mbar to
prevent f mes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
•The air m st not be discharged into a fl e that is sed for exha sting f mes
from appliances b rning gas or other f els.
•If the s pply cord is damaged, it m st be replaced from the man fact rer or
its service agent.
•Connect the pl g to a socket complying with c rrent reg lations, located in
an accessible place.
•With regards to the technical and safety meas res to be adopted for f me
discharging it is important to closely follow the reg lations provided by the
local a thorities.
WARNING: Before installing the Hood, remove the protective films.
•Use only screws and small parts supplied with the hood.
WARNING: Fail re to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with
these instr ctions may res lt in electrical hazards.
•Allow disconnection of the appliance from the s pply after installation. The
disconnection may be achieved by having the pl g accessible or by incorpo-
rating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring r les.
•Do not look directly at the light thro gh optical devices (binoc lars, magnify-
ing glasses…).
•Do not flambè nder the range hood; risk of fire.

INSTALLATION
Drilling the Support surface and Fitting the Hood
• The Hood can be fitted directly on the lower
surface of the wall furniture units (650 mm min.
above the Cooker Top) using the snap-on Side
Supports.
• Make an opening on the lower surface inside
the furniture unit, as indicated (fig.1); the X-
measure has to be 523 mm (60 and 90 cm
hoods) and 493 mm in case of 55 cm hood
(available for the Swiss market).
• Choose the correct flange measure basing on
the air outlet diameter and insert it to the upper
air outlet opening. (fig.2)
• Screw the closing profile 20 onto the rear part
of the hood, using the screws 12f (2.9 x 9.5)
provided. (fig.3)
• Open the sliding suction panel.
• Remove the metal grease filters one by one af-
ter having disconnected the relative fastening
elements.
• Close the sliding suction panel again.
• Insert the Hood until the snap-on side supports
click into place. (fig.4)
• Open the sliding suction panel.
• Lock in position by tightening the screws Vf
from underneath the Hood. (fig.4)
• If necessary, adjust the whole filter holder unit
and proceed as follows:
• Loosen the four adjustment screws Vr and
close the sliding panel again. (fig.5)
• Move the entire filter holder unit until it is
properly aligned with the wall unit. (fig.6)
• Keeping the hood canopy still, remove the
sliding panel and lock the adjustment
screws again. (fig.5)
• The hood can now be fastened to the wall
unit using the four screws 12a (3.5 x 16)
provided. (fig.7)
• Replace the metal grease filters.
• Close the sliding suction panel again.

Connections
DUCTING VERSION AIR EXHAUST SYSTEM
When installing the hood in ducting version, a rigid or a
flexible pipe with the diameter corresponding to the
flange diameter is used in order to connect the hood to
the air outlet piping.
• Fix the pipe with an adequate quantity of pipe
clamps (not supplied).
• Remove possible charcoal filters.
RECIRCULATION VERSION AIR OUTLET
• Cut a hole ø 125 mm in any shelf that may be posi-
tioned over the hood.
• Insert the flange 10a on the hood body outlet.
• Connect the flange to the outlet on the shelf over the
hood using a flexible or rigid pipe ø120 mm.
• Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps
(not supplied).
• Fix the directional grille 8on the recirculation air
outlet using the 2 screws 12e (2,9 x 12,7) provided.
• Ensure that the activated charcoal filters have been
inserted.

By pulling out the sliding panel it is possible to automatically activate all the hood functions.
By simply closing the sliding panel all the functions are switched off.
SWITCH FUNCTIONS
LLight Switches the lighting system on and off
MMotor Switches the extractor motor on and off
1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence
of light cooking vapour.
2. Medium speed, suitable for most operating conditions, thanks to an op-
timum relation between hood performance and noise.
3. Maximum speed, suitable when the highest cooking vapour emission
has to be eliminated for longer periods.
i. Intensive speed, suitable for the strongest cooking vapours and odours.

MAINTENANCEGrease filters
CLEANING METAL CASSETTE GREASE FILTERS
• The filters must be cleaned every 2 months, or more frequently
in case of particularly heavy use of the hood. Filters can be
washed in a dishwasher.
• Pull out the sliding suction panel.
• Remove the filters one by one, after having disconnected the
relative fastening elements.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them. Let them get dry
before refitting them. (The colour of the filter surface may
change throughout the time but this has no influence to the fil-
ter efficiency).
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the handle is visible
on the outside.
• Close the sliding suction panel.
Charcoal filter (Recycling version)
REPLACING CHARCOAL FILTERS
Warning: Turn the lights off and wait until the lamps cool down

must be replaced approximately every four months or more
frequently by particularly heavy use.
• Pull out the sliding suction panel.
• Remove the grease filters.
• Remove the saturated carbon filter by releasing the fixing
hooks
