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 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 as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

9
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 filtering based on activated
charcoal.

10
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 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 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
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted
only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier
access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to
protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a
protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood
mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the
outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the
passage of the discharge tube).
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.
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 50cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

PART 5: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by
switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the
socket.
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 ONLY the cloth dampened with neutral
liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. 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 responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to
inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model
in possession – indicates this necessity) 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.

18
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.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as specified in the feature label or near the light lamp
on the hood.
1. Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover.
2. Remove the damaged light and replace with a new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (Maximum) halogen light made for a
G-4 base SUITABLE FOR USE IN OPEN LUMINAIRES. Follow package directions and do not touch new
light with bare hands.
3. Reinstall the light cover. (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for
technical assistance.
