Installation
Theinstallationprocedureisillustratedintherstpages
of this manual.
Theinstallationmustbedonebyaqualiedtechnician.
Electrical hook up
The mains voltage must match that given on the ratings
label inside the hood itself. If the hood has a power plug,
connect the hood to an easily accessible regulatory power
socket. If it does not (direct connection to the mains), or the
socketisnoteasilyaccessible,installatwo-poleregulatory
switch to enable total disconnection from the mains in case
of category III overvoltage, as required by the installation
regulations.
Caution! Always check that the mains cable is hooked
up properly and check that it operates correctly before
reconnecting the hood to the mains.
Air exhaust (for ducted units)
Connect the hood to a duct and wall exhaust hole of a
diameterequaltothatoftheairoutletange.Usingasmaller
diameter tube and exhaust hole reduces the extraction
capacity of the hood and also increases its running noise.
The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of
doing so.
!Use the shortest duct required to achieve the purpose.
!Use a duct with as few bends as possible
!Avoid suddenly changing the diameter of the duct.
!The duct must have as smooth an inner surface as
possible.
!The duct must be made of regulatory material.
!Donotconnectthehoodtouescarryingcombustion
fumes from other equipment (boilers, CHIMNEY-LUCEs,
stoves, etc.).
!Observe the instructions of the competent authorities in
relationtotheairexhaust.Theairbeing exhausted may not
beexhaustedinto a wall cavity unless the cavity inquestion
isspecicallyintendedforthispurpose.
!Equipthe roomwithair intakesto preventthehood creating
suction pressure in the interior (this must not exceed 0.04
mbar).
!The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of
failure to observe these instructions.
Filter or ducted?
!Your hood is supplied as a ducted unit.
Ifyouwishtouseitasalterunit,youmustinstalltheproper
ACCESSORY KIT.
Note: If supplied with the hood, the accessory active
charcoallterunitmayalreadybeinstalled.
Instructionsfor transforming thehoodfrom the ductedtothe
lterversionaregiveninthismanual(see“Filterversion”).
Ducted version
Thehoodpuriestheairandexpelsitoutdoorsviaan
exhaustduct(dia.150mm)connectedtoitsoutletange.
The diameter of the exhaust tube must be equal to that of
theoutletange.
Caution! The exhaust duct is not supplied and must be
purchased separately.
When routed horizontally, the tube must be angled slightly
upwards (around 10°) to enable the air to be conveyed
outdoorsmoreeasily.Ifthehoodisttedwithcharcoal
lters,theymustrstberemoved.
Filter version
Thehoodpuriestheairandreturnsittotheroom.This
version of the hood requires installation of an accessory
activecharcoallterunit.
Thisversionrequiresanairdeector,areductionadapter
andthecharcoallter/s.Thetoptubemusthaveitsair

Automatic sensor calibration procedure
- Calibration: the calibration procedure must be carried
out in a clean environment to be effective; therefore, the
hob must be off during the calibration.
During the calibration procedure the AUTO button is on
and the AUTOwritingashesonthedisplay.
The sensor calibration may be automatic or manual
(“uponrequest”).Inbothcasesthecalibrationlasts:
• about1minuteforgashobs;
• about13minutesforinductionandelectrichobs.
- Automatic calibration: occurs when the hood is power
suppliedorafterselectingtheplanfromtheconguration
menu.

Servicing the grease lter (A)
A
The grease lter retains the
particles of grease produced
during cooking; it must be
cleanedat leastoncea month
with a non-aggressive
detergent, either by hand or
with a low temperature, short
dishwasher cycle.
Toextractthegreaselter,
pullthespring loaded handle.
Ifwashedinadishwasher,themetalltermaychange
colour, but this does not affect its performance.
Servicing the charcoal lter (B)
Thecharcoallterretainsunpleasantcookingodours.
Theltersaturatesafteravariabletime,dependingonthe
typeofcookingandhowoftenthegreaselteriscleaned.
The cartridge must be replaced at least once every twenty
months.

Recycling and Disposal Information
As part of Hotpoint’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use
quality, recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the
door, plug, and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that
the appliance can no longer be plugged into mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
