This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance
instructions provided in this manual. Failure to follow the
instructions provided in this user guide regarding the cleaning of
the hood and filtres will lead to the risk of fires.
The aming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited.
The use of exposed ames is detrimental to the lters and may cause a re risk, and must therefore be avoided
in all circumstances.
Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil does not overheat and ignite.
CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
For lamp replacement use only lamp type indicated in the Maintenance/Replacing lamps section of this

With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely
follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.
The ducting system for this appliance must not be connected to any existing ventilation system which is being
used for any other purpose such as discharging exhaust fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted due to the possible risk of electric shocks.
Never use the hood without eectively mounted grids.
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specically indicated.
Use only the xing screws supplied with the product for installation or, if not supplied, purchase the correct
screws type.

Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at
minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished.
Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapour and use boost speed(s) only in extreme
situations. Replace the charcoal filtres when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency. Clean
the grease filtres when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of
the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

PART 3: INSTALLATION
Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.
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 supplied.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
Attention! The charcoal filter is not supplied. 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
ange).
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.
Filter version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional ltering based on activated
charcoal.
Attention! The charcoal filter is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

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 tted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible 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 ecient function,

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.
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45cmfromelectriccookersand55cmfromgasormixedcookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Only for some models
An aesthetic ue can be purchased as an optional accessory. Check with the authorized dealer whether the
model in your possession envisages this possibility.
We advise installing the hood after having purchased the ue to check with certainty the most suitable
installation.

PART 5: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regarding the replacement of the bulb, cleaning and maintenance of the appliance, please refer to below
paragraphs of this manual.
Attention!
Before cleaning, switch the unit o and pull out the plug.
I. Regular Cleaning
Useasoft clothmoistenedwith hand-warmmildsoap waterorhousehold cleaningdetergent.Never use
metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or a stiff brush to clean the unit.
II. Monthly Cleaning of the Grease Filter
ESSENTIAL: Clean the filter every month to prevent any risk of fire.
The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, so the filter is directly affecting the efficiency of the cooker hood.
If not cleaned, the grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it with household
cleaning detergent.
III. 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(orwhenthefiltersaturationindicationsystem–ifenvisagedonthemodelinpossession
–indicatesthisnecessity).ThecharcoalfiltermayNOTbewashedorregenerated.
IV. Bulb Replacement
1. Switch the unit o and unplug the appliance.
2. Open the cooker hood and remove the lters.
3. Releasethelampconnectersandpushthelampoutfrominside.
4. Replace with the same type of lamp.

PART 6: BEFORE YOU CALL THE SERVICE CENTRE
If the appliance is not working as it should check the following recommendations for resolving the most
common problems.
If the problem persists or it is not included in the table below, turn o the appliance and disconnect it from the
power socket and contact an authorised service centre.
Problem Solution
The range hood is not working. Check that the power plug is properly inserted in a properly grounded power
socketwiththeparameters220–240V~50Hz.
Check that the motor power switch is in the“On“ position.
The lights are not working. Check that the power plug is properly inserted in a properly grounded power
socketwiththeparameters220–240V~50Hz.
Check that the motor power switch is in the“On“ position.
Check whether the light bulb or uorescent tube is broken.
Exhaust power is weak. Check whether the aluminium lters are dirty.
Check the air outlet, it should be open.
Check whether the carbon filter is not too dirty.
The range hood does not extract the
air directly out (for models without an
exhaust).
Check whether the aluminium lters are dirty.
Check whether the carbon filter is not too dirty.
ATTENTION:
Use the range hood together with the stove. This will ensure the correct air exhaust. We recommend to leave the range
hood running a few minutes longer than the stove to ensure that all odours are extracted.
