SAFETY INFORMATION
For your safety and correct operation of the appliance, read this manual
carefully before installation and use. Always keep these instructions
with the appliance even if you move or sell it. Users must fully know the
operation and safety features of the appliance.
The wire connection has to be done by specialized technician.
•The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from
incorrect or improper installation.
•The minimum safety distance between the cook top and the extractor
hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height,
please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
•If the instructions for installation for the gas cooktop specify a greater
distance, this must be respected.
•Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
•Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
•For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply
guarantees adequate earthing.
•Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum
diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
•Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
•Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying
combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).

•If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g.
gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be
guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas.
When the rangehood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied
with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room
by the rangehood.
•The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced from the manufac-
turer or its service agent.
•Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, locat-
ed in an accessible place.
•With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for
fume discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provid-
ed by the local authorities.
WARNING: Before installing the Hood, remove the protective films.
•Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood.
WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance
with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
•Allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation.
This disconnection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by
incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules
•Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars,
magnifying glasses…).
•Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
•Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

VSpeed Sets the operating speed of
the extractor:
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 condi-
tions given the optimum
treated air flow/noise lev-
el ratio.
3. Maximum speed, used for
eliminating the highest
cooking vapour emission,
including long periods.

MAINTENANCE
Grease 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
before you change the odour filter.
• These filters are not washable and cannot be regenerated, and
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
• Fit the new filter by hooking it into its seating.
• Replace the grease filters.
