Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version. The models with no
suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction
device (not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

10
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special
pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood. Attention!
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. In the horizontal
runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the
air easily from the room to the outside. Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal
filter, then it must be removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air
outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution
of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.
Filter version (draw. 23)
Active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual
retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into
the room through the upper outlet grid.
Warnings
The hood is designed to be installed in a dropped ceiling The dropped ceiling must
be sturdy and have a load-bearing capacity suitable for a product with weight of 30kg.
Do not install the hood directly in the dropped ceiling panels, but use a suitable frame or
support.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the
hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers
and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.

11
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate
situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in
compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation.
If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an acces-
sible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which
assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current
category III, in accordance with installation instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient
function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged, request a new
one from Technical Service.
Mounting
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.

12
Operation
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.
To select the functions of the hood, it is enough to lightly touch and hold the control.
"ON / OFF”
Turns on the control panel / turns off the hood
Note: After about a minute of not using the hood (suction and lighting),
it automatically returns to the OFF position
ON/OFF lights
We turn on the lighting regardless of the "ON / OFF" status of the hood.
Manual selection of the suction speed (power):
1: gear (suction power) 1
2: gear (suction power) 2
3: gear (suction power) 3
4: gear, speed of suction intensive "BOOST”
After 5 minutes of "BOOST" operation, the hood returns to the suction power 3.
Timer - Delay in switching off the hood
After approximately 30 minutes, the hood will switch off automatically.
Note: This function is available for speeds selectable manually with the P3 buttons.
Filter saturation indicator and reset
The button will automatically light up steadily when the grease filter needs
maintenance.
The button will flash automatically when the charcoal filter needs to be serviced *.
After maintenance, with the hood off and the button active, press the button for more
than 3 seconds. To reset the filter saturation indicator, repeat this step as necessary
(e.g. if both types of filters are saturated).
ON/OFF operation mode “Refresh”
Every 50 minutes of inactivity, gear (suction power) 1 is engaged for 10 minutes.

Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which
you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and
replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. The manufacturer declines all respon-
sibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance
or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the
electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the co n nector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be
removed from the socket.
With the control panel turned on (ON) press buttons P4 and P5 simultaneously for more
than 3 seconds, button P5 will light up steadily for about 5 seconds. to confirm activation of
the function.
To disable the indicator function also press the P4 and P5 buttons simultaneously for
approx. 3 seconds, the P5 button will flash for approx. 5 seconds. to confirm the
deactivation of the function.
LED light temperature function
The light adjustment mode is activated by simultaneously holding down the P1 and P2
buttons for approx. 3 seconds, the buttons will light up steadily, and additionally the buttons
1 and 4 will start blinking. Single pressing of the 1 or 4 key adjusts the color to one side by
10%. Holding down one of the keys causes a smooth tone adjustment. The selected color is
confirmed by pressing the P2 key or by no further action.

Replacing lamps
Refer to the drawing on page 6, as shown on the drawing 19-21. Disassemble the aluminium
filters (as shown on the drawing 9) then using your hand push the lighting downwards. Using
your other hand grab the lighting from the outside. Disconnect the complete element and
replace it with a new part. Proceed in reverse order to install the lighting.
IMPORTANT!! Always use the lighting of the same type as installed by the manufacturer.
If you are not sure which part to use contact your nearest dealer.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and
a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs
after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of
cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every
four mounths. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
