INSTALLATION FIG.4
- Once installed, the appliance must be no less than 65 cm away
from an electric hob and no less than 65 cm away from gas
burners or a mixed hob.
- If the instructions for the installation of the gas hob specify a
greater distance, please take this into account.
Electrical connection
The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the
label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical plug,
where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with
local standards in force.
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.
FASTENING THE COOKE HOOD TO A WALL FIG.2
- Place the template in the centre and make the relative holes.
- Insert the dowels into the wall
- Hang the hood onto the 2 screws through the outlined slots and
screw these down tightly.
- Block the hood definitively using screws and washers.
- The screws and dowels are provided with the appliance.
USE
The hood is designed to be used to either filter and re-circulate air, or
as a vented appliance.
SUCTION FUNCTION
To utilize this function you have to provide with a flexible duct Ø150
mm. to connect to the fitting "F" Fig.3 , that must be subsequently fixed
to the ceiling.
FILTE ING VE SION
When there is no exhaust duct for venting outdoors, you can use a
carbon filter. The air is depurated by the filter and put again in the
surrounding. To use the appliance in this version, proceded as follows:
- Fix the filtering fitting "D" to the bracket "E" Fig.3
- Insert the ring "A" to the filtering fitting "D".
- Insert a flexible duct from the fitting "F" to the ring "A" and fix it with
some small bands.
- Open the grate;
- Insert the filter (C using the B knobs (FIG.1 ;
- Remount the grate;
- To convert the hood from vented to filtering, contact the retailer
or the manufacturer for the kit needed for installation.
INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY
- Fasten the E bracket (Fig. 1 , located on the perpendicular part
of the outlet hole on the hood, at the highest point on the
wall next to the ceiling, using the two Ø 8 mm screws and wall
anchors provided.
- Make the chimney with slits run inside the other chimney
- Fix the chimney with slits turned up to the bracket "E" using the
two screws supplied with the hood; put the other chimney on the
upper part of the hood and fix it using the 2 screws supplied with
the hood.
Operation
The cooker hood is provided with a key or pushbutton control panel
situated of the frontal part of the cooker hood, depending on the basis
of the cooker hood type in possession. For proper operation consult
the text below and the relative illustration:
a. ON/OFF lighting
b. OFF motors/Minimum suction power
c. Medium suction power
d. Maximum suction power
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.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical power supply before
doing any type of maintenance.
The performance and operation of the hood depends directly upon the
frequency of cleaning and maintenance. This holds especially true for
the aluminum grates (G and the activated charcoal filter (C.
The grate serves to trap grease particles and solids suspended in the
air. Therefore, it is subject to getting clogged over time, and the speed
at which it gets clogged depends on how the hood is used and the type
of cooker installed.
The grates made of cold-drawn aluminum should be washed by
hand or in the dishwasher once a month. Let dry before remounting.
If these cleaning instructions are not followed, it will result in the risk
of fire.
Activated Charcoal Filter
The activated charcoal filter is only present on the ventless, filtering
version and serves to trap odors and clean the air. The life of the
charcoal filter will depend on the type of cooker and the regularity with
which the grease filters are cleaned. In any case, the cartridge must
be replaced at least once every four months.
Clean all deposits on the fan and the other surfaces of the hood
frequently with a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or non-
abrasive liquid detergents.
EPLACING HALOGEN LAMPS
- Unplug the appliance from the electrical power supply;
- For removal, extract the glass-bearing frame of the spotlight.
- Replace the faulty lamps, using only 20 W (max halogen lamps;
- Remount the chrome-plated diffuser rings.
WA NING
The cooking vapors must not be discharged into a flue used for venting
combustion fumes or gases, nor into a duct used as a flue for rooms
in which open flame appliances are installed. The installation for the
discharge of the vapors must comply with all local and national codes
and safety standards. If the hood is being used in the outdoor vented
mode where other vented fuel-burning appliances are installed, you
must check to make sure that there is a sufficient supply of air to the
room.
- Do not attempt to check the filters while the hood is in operation.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots for discharging the air.
- Do not touch the lamps or the lamp diffusers after prolonged use
of the hood.
- Flambéing food beneath the hood is strictly prohibited.
- Avoid using an open flame, as it could damage the filters and
increase the risk of fire.
- Never leave frying food unattended to prevent hot oil from
catching fire.
- Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the hood from
the electrical mains.
- The manufacturer will not be held liable for damages caused by
the failure to follow the foregoing instructions.
