Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this
manual. Merloni does not accept responsability for any damage
caused through non complying with the instructions in this manual.
The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 50 cm from
the cooking plane for electric cookers and 75cm for gas or mixed
cookers.
If the appliance is installed above a gas cooking device with installation
instructions specifying a greater clearance you must take this into
account.
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to
the outside (Ducting version  exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps
not provided).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the
outside the hood can be used in the filter version fitting an activated
carbon filter and the deflector F
on the support (bracket) G fumes and vapours are recycled through
the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air
outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust
pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode and
must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
Installation - Fig. 5-6-
Preliminary information for installing the hood
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify suitability
of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/
ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves unless the
chimney flue can be easily removed, in case maintenance is
ever required.
Assembling the deflector (Fig. 6 - 3 parts  only for filter
version):
The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws the deflector extension
is adjustable and should correspond to the width of the chimney flue
support to which it is then fixed.
During electrical connection ensure the power supply is disconnected
at the domestic main switch.
1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure as the final height
of the hood depends on this and remember that with installation
completed the hood must be at least 50 cm above the cook-top
for electric cookers and 75 cm for gas or mixed cookers.
2. a. Fix the two sections of the structure using 8 screws.
b. If the hood is provided with extensions longer than the
minimum fit the reinforcement bracket S to the frame using 4
screws.
3. Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the cook-top (the
center of the diagram must match the center of the cook-top and
the edges must be parallel to the sides of the cook-top  the side
of the diagram with the wording FRONT corresponds to the
control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.
4. Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs  4 plugs for fixture) screw
the outer screws leaving a space of about 1 cm. between the
screw head and the ceiling.
5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the motor
compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and fixing brackets
are not supplied).
6. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box corresponds
to the side of the control panel with hood assembled.
7. Tighten the 4 screws.
8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free holes for
secure fixing.
9. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power supply
only turn on the power supply upon completion of assembly.
10. Hook the hood onto the truss ensuring it fits properly  to hook
the hood onto the truss partially tighten 4 screws (see also step
12).
11. Secure the hood to the truss using two screws; this will also help
center the two sections.
12. Tighten the 4 screws securing the truss to the hood.
13. For extractor versions (13A) connect the other end of the exhaust
pipe to the flue.
For filter versions (13F) fit deflector F to the truss and secure it
to the bracket supplied using 4 screws then connect the exhaust
pipe to the connection ring located on the deflector.
14. Fit the nuts with fixing hooks supplied inside the top and bottom
sections of the flues at the rectangular slots. A total of 10 nuts
must be fitted.
15. Join the two top sections of the flue to cover the truss so that one
of the slots on the sections is situated on the same side of the
control panel and the other on the opposite side. Screw the two
sections together with 4 screws (2 each side- see the plan
diagram for joining the two sections).
16. Fix the top flue assembly to the truss near the ceiling with two
screws (one each side).
17. Carry out electrical connection of control panel and bulbs.
Warning! Make connections taking care to insert the
connectors in the right way.
18. Join the two bottom sections of the flue covering the truss using
6 screws (3 each side see the plan diagram for joining the two
sections).
19. Insert the bottom section of the flue in its seat so that it completely
covers the motor compartment and electrical connection box
then ensure it from inside the hood using two screws.
20. Apply the 2 tabs (supplied) to cover the fixing points of the bottom
flue (CAUTION! THE BOTTOM FLUE TABS ARE THE
NARROWER AND SHALLOWER ONES).
The wider and deeper tabs are those used for the top flue and
must be cut to size.
21. Turn the mains power on again at the central electrical panel and
check for correct hood operation.
Electrical connection
The supply voltage must correspond to the voltage label inside the
cooker hood.
Where provided connect the plug directly into the main socket.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to
electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with an
aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the contacts.

Operation 
Model with electronic controls
1 - Lights ON/OFF key
2 - Suction motor ON/OFF key
3 - Decrease in speed of the motor key
4 - Increase in speed of the motor key
5 - Insertion of intensive speed key (functioning for
10 minutes)
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours.
It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5
minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and
for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
If the hood fails to operate correctly briefly disconnect it from the
mains power supply for almost 5 sec. by pulling out the plug. Then plug
it in again and try once more before contacting the Technical Assistance
Service.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is
disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker
hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents
either by hand or in the dish-washer which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer the grease filter may discolour
slightly but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter pull the spring release handle (f) - (Fig. 2).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot
water and a suitable detergent or in a dish-washer at 65°C (if the dish-
washer is used select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter then remove the
mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10
minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3
years and when the cloth is damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix
the chimney to the cooker hood (Fig. 4).
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole
back into its housing (j).
Replacing lamps - Fig. 3
Warning!
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
1. Extract the guard by levering it off with a small screwdriver or
similar tool.
2. Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4) making sure you do not
touch them with your hands.
3. Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in accordance
with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and technical
restrictions.
