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
Preliminary information for installation of the hood:
Disconnectthehoodduringelectricalconnection,byturningthehome
mains switch off. 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.Thewall/ceiling must be strongenough to take theweight
of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
Donot fix chimney flue to furniture or fly overshelves unless the

Assembling the chimney flue support/bracket (3 parts):
The three parts should be fixed with 4 screws, the support extension
is adjustable and should correspond to the internal width of the
telescopic chimney flue.
Assembling the deflector (only when a deflector composed of
3 parts is supplied  the deflector should be only for the 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.
Rest the suction unit on a flat surface and thread the lower part of the
hood onto it.
Make all the electrical connections between the two parts.
Permanently fix the cooker hood to the suction group with the screws
(Fig. 4)
1. Usinga pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to the ceiling,
to mark the centre. This will facilitate installation.
2. Rest the drilling template against the wall: the vertical centre line
printed on the drilling template must correspond to the centre line
drawn on the wall, and the bottom edge of the drilling template
must correspond to the bottom edge of the hood: bear in mind
that, when installation is complete, the underside of the hood
mustbe at least 50cm above the cookertop in the caseof electric
cookers, and at least 65 cm above the cooker top in the case of
gas or mixed cookers.
3. Rest the support bracket on the drilling template so that it
coincides with the dotted rectangle, mark the two outer holes and
drill them, remove the drilling template, insert 2 wall plugs and fix
the hood support bracket into place using two 5x45mm screws.
4. Hang the hood on the bracket.
5. Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall.
6. Adjust the horizontal position of the hood.
7. Using a pencil mark the cooker hood permanent drill hole inside
the suction group (two drill holes are necessary for fastening).
8. Remove the hood from the bracket.
9. Drill at the point marked (Ø8mm - see operation 7).
10. Insert 2 wall plugs.
11. Rest the chimney support bracket G against the wall, touching
the ceiling. Use the support bracket as a drilling template (the
smallslot formed onthesupportmustcoincide withthelinedrawn
onthe wall asaboveoperation1)andmark 2holeswitha pencil,
drill the holes (Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs.
12. Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using two 5x45mm
screws.
13. Hook the hood onto the bottom bracket.
14. Fix the hood into its final position on the wall (ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL).
15. Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not provided, to be
purchased separately) for discharge of fumes to the connection
ring located over the suction motor unit.
If the hood is to be used in ducting version, the other end of the
pipe must be connected to a device expelling the fumes to the
outside. If the hood is to be used in filter version, then fix the
deflector Fto the chimney support bracket Gand connect the
other extremity of the pipe to the connection ring placed on the
deflector F.
16. Make the electrical connections.
17. Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the top to the
chimney support G (17b) using 2 screws (17a).
18. Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until it completely
covers the suction unit and slots into the housing provided on top
of the hood.
Replace the grease filter/s (and where foreseen the grease collecting
panels) and check that the hood is operating correctly.

disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning the hood
Thecookerhoodshouldbecleanedregularlyinternallyandexternally.
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
Thismustbe cleaned once a monthusingnon 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 thegrease filter, pull thespring release handle (f) -(Fig. 1).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot
waterand asuitabledetergent,or inadish-washerat 65°C(ifthedish-
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. 2).

Caution
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
WARNING-Ensurethattheapplianceisswitchedoffbeforereplacing
the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
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
