GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING –Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING –TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK
WARNING –TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing
food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
WARNING –TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN –You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloth or towels –a violet
steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher only if:
1)You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The hood is supplied with all the necessary
accessories for installation. The minimum distance
between the cooker and the lower part of the hood
must be 750 mm for gas cookers and 650 mm for
electric cookers (Fig.1). The hood is supplied with a
motor intake (Fig 2). If it has not been assembled by
the manufacturer, you can assemble it using the
supplied screws (for type 1) or pushing (for type 2)
If the motor intake is equipped with a non-return
valve, make sure it opens and closes perfectly.
The following instructions will assist installation:
a) The hood should be centred with respect to the
cooker.
b) The hood is supplied with two supports/hooks (a)
(Fig 3) or bracket (b) that need to be fixed to the
wall by means of wall anchors . The L1 holes for
these supports are on the back of the hood (fig.4)
c) Remove the anti-grease filters, put the hood on
the wall and mark the position of the holes for the
supports/hooks.
d) Drill the two previously marked holes after
removing the hood from the wall.
e) Fix the two supports/hooks to the wall.
f) Mark the L2 holes on the wall to fix the hood
safely. (fig. 4) Drill and put the anchors in the
holes.
g) Hang the hood on to the supports/hooks (fig. 5)
and level by means of the adjusting screw
(fig.3).
l) Fix the hood safe by tightening both wall anchors.
Ducted mode or Recirculation mode installation:
Ducted mode:
In the ducted mode, connect the motor outlet to the
fumes outlet duct not less than 120mm diameter.

screws .
Place the chimneys group on the top side of the
hood carefully. Put the chimney bracket K on the
B chimney (fig. 6). Mark the holes on the wall for
fixing the chimney bracket to the wall.
Remove the chimney set, drill and fix the support
racket to the wall by means of wall anchors. . Put
the chimney group back in place and fix it to the
hood with the Z screws and to the chimney
bracket with the L screws as shown in figure 6.

operations are performed by a qualified
technician.
The appliance is supplied WITHOUT A PLUG. It is
therefore necessary to fix a plug to the wire. The
plug and fuse must be in accordance with the
rating plate inside the hood. Then connect it to a
nearby, easily reachable socket in accordance
with the rules in force.
In the case of a direct connection to the mains
supply, it is necessary to put a switched spur

- FILTERS CLEANING WARNING: When all the 4 LEDs blink at the same time (which is
programmed to happen every 100h of operation), the user is required to
clean/replace the filters .
Pressing the Reset button the 100h count will start again
Note: Pressing the reset button accidentally before the end of the 100h
cycle does not reset the filters cleaning memory
It is recommended that grease filters are cleaned every 100h and active
carbon filters are replaced every 200h.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
Before performing any cleaning and/or maintenance operation always disconnect
the hood from the mains supply.
Regular cleaning will ensure a good performance and extend the working life of the hood.
Special attention should be given to the grease filters and carbon filters (for recycling
hoods only).
Note: An excess of grease in the filter, as well as affecting the performance of the
hood, can also be a fire risk.
EXTERNAL CLEANING:
External and internal cleaning of the hood should be performed with a damp cloth and a
non-bleach liquid detergent, absolutely avoiding solvents or abrasive substances. It is
advisable to use specific products, following their instructions. When cleaning the steel of
the hood, we suggest rubbing in the same direction as the grain.

METAL FILTERS CLEANING:
CARBON FILTERS REPLACEMENT: (For recirculated version only)
Special attention should be reserved to the metal
grease filters. An excess of grease in the filter, as well
as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be
a fire risk. To avert fires, the filters must be cleaned
regularly at least once a month or more frequently, in
the case of a heavy use of the appliance.
According to your hood’s model, remove one filter at a
time as shown in these pictures. Wash the filters
thoroughly with a non-bleach detergent, either by hand
or machine. Re-assemble the filters, making sure that
the handle faces the outside of the hood.
The carbon filters can only retain odours for a limited
period of time. They cannot be washed, therefore, it is
recommended they are replaced at least once every
six months or more frequently in the case of a heavy
use of the appliance.
Before starting, make sure the hood is disconnected
from the mains supply.
To reach the active carbon filters, it is necessary to
remove the metal filters as shown above. Use the
pictures to find the carbon filter kit of your hood.
Round filter: simply rotate the filters 90 degrees as
shown in fig. A and then remove them from their
seats.
Spring-held cartridge filter (fig. B): press enough to
overcome the spring’s resistance and remove the
filter.
Cartridge filter with bracket and threaded knob (fig.
C): unscrew the knob, remove the blocking racket and
then remove the active carbon filter.
Re-assemble the carbon and metal filters performing
the above mentioned operations backwards.
Note: only for the electronic controlled hood, reset the
filters cleaning warning by pressing the Filter reset
button.

c) Biax neon lamps: G23 11W lamp. Once the
fixture has been removed, remove the biax lamp
from its seat and support.
