by a competent person under the strict supervision
of an adult. Never use abrasive cleaning materials on
the appliance.
■Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the appliance from the
main supply, by means of the main switch or the bipolar switch.
■If other gas equipment or equipment which consumes oxygen from the environment is
used, ventilation must be sufficient. For safe ventilation, maximum depression in the
room should not exceed 4 Pa (0,04 mbar) and there must be a hole on the outside
facing wall (suitably positioned and dimensioned). If in doubt, national and
international standards precisely indicate the rules for the state of art installation of
gas systems and for environment air change, to avoid the possibility of incomplete
combustions with the risk of poisonous fumes being emitted.
■Keep the grease filters clean, taking into account the recommended cleaning
suggestions.
■Do not use the appliance to suction gas, fumes, vapours or other substances different
from the normal fumes from the inside environment.
■The appliance is not suitable to aspirate liquids.
■Do not direct jets of water toward the appliance.
GENERAL
In the SUCTION use extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment and
then expels them outside. It is not necessary to use carbon filters for purifying.
BEFORE MOUNTING
The instruction manual apply to several versions of the appliance. Accordingly you may find
descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
Arrange for a socket outlet or standard connection to the electric mains; it is necessary to
make a hole towards the outside (i.e in the open air) for the scavenging of the fumes.

It is absolutely forbidden for the user to connect the air discharge of the appliance,
when used a suction use, to boiler chimneys, gas, fume or vapour scavenging
chimneys or any other duct, even only ventilation ducts, which have been used or will
be used for other devices. Moreover it is not permitted to connect the scavenging
pipe for fumes in other adjacent rooms or wellholes, or pipes for fire-fighting devices.
In any case it is necessary to respect all norms concerning scavenging of the air. Any
user who does not adhere to these instructions is risking his own life and the lives of
others. In this case, the manufacturer declines any responsibility.
It is necessary for qualified personnel to make a hole for ventilation on the outside wall.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mount the appliance as shown in the pictures.
The appliance is equipped with standard fixing material. The person who is mounting
the hood should make sure that the fixing elements are right and suitable for the walls
and ceilings he finds. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damages
caused by incorrect mounting.
The packaging material is dangerous for childen. Never allow the children to play with the
packaging material.
During the installation of the appliance, always wear protective handgloves to prevent
injuries.

them.
■To remount the metal filters, put the rear part of the metal filter into its seat, press
the handle, insert the front part of the filter and release the handles.
GENERAL WARNING
The pipe must be heat, flame and corrosionproof. The manufacturer strongly advises
against the use of reducers or pipes with different diameter to the appliance outlet pipe,
and pipes made of flexible aluminium because performance is diminished and noise level
increased.
The end part of the pipe, on the outside of the hole on the wall, must be of such a shape
to avoid rain, gusts of wind or other foreign bodies getting into the pipe. Should there be
any doubt, contact anyone specialising in the installation of gas or ventilation system.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING
The electrical connection can only be carried out by qualified professional personnel,
using standard material and state of the art installation methods. The manufacturer
declines any responsibility for installations carried out by unskilled persons and for
installations which are not in conformity with the standard norms concerning electrical
safety (both concerning methods and materials).

and must be connected only to a very safety low tension, corresponding to the marking
on the appliance.
Wiring diagramm:
■Connect the wires of the secondary of the transformer to the CN1 connector strictly
following the polarity shown (+/-).
■If wished by the customer, connect one or more push button PM, PL,PS (optional
sensor) to the connector CN6.

For the sizes of the cable section of the connection-cables between the tranformer and
the appliance, please follow the instruction in the following table:
Length of cables between the transformer unit and the appliance Section cables mm²
≤8 m 1
≤15 m 1,5
≤25 m 2,5
BEFORE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Before connection you must:
■The transformer unit (220-240Vac/12Vdc) can be installed only in the areas where it
is allowed, and which are shown in the mounting pictures. For the appliance you can
select any mounting area.
Please follow current regulations to identify the installation areas.
■check that the electrical data indicated are in conformity with the main voltage and
frequency values of the building where the hood is to be installed;
■check that the building is fitted with electric safety systems to protect against short
circuits and electric shock systems, according to the laws in force;
■install an electric socket (or connection point) with a bipolar switch, which has
contacts with an opening of at least 3 mms;
■if it is wished to install the transformer unit with a plug, it is necessary that you have

sensor is for 20 minutes without function.
MAINTENANCE
METAL FILTERS
The metal filters are used to retain the particles in suspension.
For washing by hand, use hot water and soap; this can be done by hand brushing
vigorously several times and then rinsing under the tap.
After washing, the metal filters should be dried and re-fitted correctly.
It is possible that after washing the filter will have slight change in the colour.
It is advised to wash the metal filters after circa 100 hours of use of the
appliance.
If the metal filters are very dirty, the motor can only take in a small quantity of air, and
performance is reduced.
