STAINLESS STEEL CANOPY OPERATION
Thank you for purchasing a quality stainless steel canopy rangehood. We have a high
standard of quality control and each rangehood is tested and approved before it
leaves the factory.
IMPORTANT: Please read prior to installation or operation.
• Always switch power off prior to installing, servicing or cleaning the appliance.
• Never use the appliance without filters.
• Please read the notes on general cleaning, especially the filters.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a heating flue or wall cavity. Unless the
cavity is designed for that purpose.
• Areas where the rangehood is installed that also have gas oil or coal fired heaters,
must be well ventilated to prevent a partial vacuum in the room. This includes gas
hobs. (A partial vacuum in the room could result in too high a concentration of gas
in the atmosphere).
• The appliance is supplied with an approved power cable which must not be
changed. If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must only be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid hazard.
INSTALLATION OF UNIT
(Read in conjunction with the following diagrams)
Note: Ducting accessories are not supplied. Please refer to the optional ducting kits.
The air outlet from the motor requires 150mm round ducting.
NOTE: Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraided or
knocked by tools.
1. WARNING
This hood is designed for installation over a cooking appliance fitted into a peninsular
or island kitchen cabinet. The hood can be fixed to the ceiling. The hood is supplied
complete with a substantial ceiling fixing system which is fully adjustable in height to
suit most installation requirements. This canopy hood is designed to be used either
in the extraction mode (ducted to the outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal
recycling). Before commencing the installation, consideration should be given to the
difficulties to be found during installation and to the bulky weight of the hood. The
manufacturer cannot be found liable for any damages to improper installation.
CONTROL PANEL
The hood is equipped with the following controls:
Button = Light ON/OFF
Button = Fan ON/OFF in first speed, suitable for a continuous change of air, to be
used with little cooking steam.
Button = Second speed, suitable in most conditions of use for its excellent ratio
between quantity of treated air and noise level.
Button = Third speed, suitable to cope with major cooking steam emissions even
for long periods of time.

Do not use uncovered electrical grill.
To avoid possible risks of fire always comply with the maintenance instruction above.
ATTENTION: This appliance must be earthed
When making the electrical connection, check that the socket has an earth
connection and that the voltage values correspond to those indicated on the rating
plate inside the appliance. The power socket connection is to be easily accessible
after installation.
GREASE FILTERS
Particular care must be taken with grease filters which must be periodically cleaned
(at least every two months).
Remove the grease filters and wash them either by hand or in the dishwasher using
mild detergent. Use lukewarm water and mild detergent to clean stainless steel
components.
In high humidity and coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out frequently.
CAUTION: Never use products containing abrasive liquid cleaners etc.
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS
1 - How they work
The activated carbon filter can hold odours until it reaches total saturation. It is not
washable nor can it be re-used, but should be changed at least every 4 months or
more often in case of intensive use.
2 - Replacement
Remove the antigrease filter and unhook the activated carbon filter from its seat
(fig. 5). Fit the new activated carbon filter and the metal antigrease filter.
WARNING: Maintenance or replacement periods should be respected to avoid any
fire hazards when the filters get saturated with grease.

3.2 Fitting the lower telescopic frame “TI”
a - Turn the lower telescopic frame “TI” in the opposite direction.
b - Connect the lower frame “TI” to the upper frame “TS” and secure
by tightening the 4 screws using the socket head screw wrench
provided “D” , adjusting the height from the hob and bearing in mind that the
canopy item to be fitted subsequently is 7 cm high.
In any event, in this position, the lower part of the frame must not be
positioned at less than 72 cm from the underlying hob.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 - Fitting of upper telescopic frame “TS”
The frame is suitable for fixing to the ceiling of adequate thickness and well
secured, or any other carrying structure. Remember that the recycled air can be
directed in four different directions: such choice must be made when securing
the upper frame.
a - Separate the lower frame “TI” from the upper
part “TS” by loosening the four retaining screws
with the socket head screw wrench provided “D”(fig.2)
b - Remove the screws on “S” and pull out the upper
pipe “S” of the telescopic chimney.
c - Using a plumb line or similar tool, mark the centre on
the ceiling from the centre of the cooking appliance.
d - Use the drilling template provided “attachment” to mark the centre on the
ceiling and align one of the two axis (A or B) of the template parallel with the
long side of the hob bearing in mind in which direction you want the filtered air
to exit.
e - Drill the holes as follows:
-ceiling 4 holes ∅10 mm for securing the upper frame
1 hole ∅ 10 mm to pass the mains cable
f - For extraction mode (i.e. ducted)
Use the template provided to mark the ∅ 150 mm hole on the ceiling for
ducting when the range hood is to be installed in the extraction mode.
g - Fitting in the hood to the ceiling
Attention: Due to the many differing types of ceiling construction, the choice
of fixings is left to the discretion of the installer.
It is necessary to emphasise that the fitting has to be absolutely accurate
because of the weight of the cooker hood and because of the flexing caused
by accidental lateral stresses on the appliance.
Only the following types of ceiling are suitable for installing the island cooker
hood:
1 - Solid concrete ceiling: use dowels for concrete (not supplied).
2- Solid wooden buttress ceiling: use ∅ 10 mm wood screws with a minimum
length of 120 mm (not supplied)
3- Cavity ceiling with inner empty space, having a thickness of about 22 mm:
use, in this case, the four dowels and screws supplied.
Once fixed, make sure that the basis is absolutely stable even when the
metal frame is subjected to lateral stresses
4- If the ceiling is not strong enough in the area where the hood is to be fixed,
the installer must strengthen the area adequately so that it can withstand
the weight of the hood. NOTE: weight of the hood is 30kg.
