Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this
manual.Allresponsibility, foranyeventualinconveniences,damages
orfires causedby notcomplying withthe instructionsin thismanual,
is declined.
The rangehood must be placed at a minimum distance of 650mm
from the cooking plane for electric, gas and mixed cooktops.
Please confirm measurement with your Local Building Authority.
Therangehoodisequippedwithatopairoutlet " B“fordischargeof
fumes to the outside (Ducting version – exhaust pipe and pipe
fixing clamps not provided).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to
the outside, the rangehood can be used in the filter version, by
fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector
" F“on the support
(bracket) "G“. Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top
grille "H“ bymeansofanexhaustpipeconnectedtothetopairoutlet
"B“ andtheconnectionringmountedonthedeflector "F“ (exhaust
pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the rangehood to most
typesofwalls/ceilings.However,aqualifiedtechnicianmustverify
suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling,
which must be strong enough to take the weight of the rangehood.
Installation - Fig. 6
Preliminaryinformationforinstallationoftherangehood:
Disconnect the rangehood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
Remove the grease filter/s.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves unless the
chimney flue can be easily removed, in case maintenance is ever
required.

Removethe 2screwsmounted onthe insideof thelower partof
the rangehood in the fixing points with the suction group (see
also operation 3).
Attention!
The chimney is predisposed for installation of the filter version.
In certain models where it is required to use the rangehood in the
suctionversionthenitispossibleto overturn theuppersectionof the
chimney and insert it inside the lower section of the chimney so
that the air-exit perforations are not visible. The chimneys in which
this operation is possible are recognisable by their bracket fixing
points " G" which are repeated also in the lower side of the upper
section of the chimney (see installation sequence 20a-20b).
Attention!
F or all pre-assembled models:
the mounting operations 1, 2, 3 should not be taken into
consideration, for installation begin at operation 4.
1. Rest the suction unit on a flat surface and thread the lower part
of the rangehood onto it.
2. Make all the electrical connections between the two parts.
3. Permanently fix the rangehood to the suction group with the
screws (consult the figure corresponding to the model in
possession).
4. Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to the
ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate installation.
5. Restthedrillingtemplateagainstthewall:theverticalcentreline
printed on the drilling template must correspond to the centre
line drawn on the wall, and the bottom edge of the drilling
template must correspond to the bottom edge of the rangehood
: bear in mind that, when installation is complete, the underside
of the rangehood must be at least 650mm above electric, gas
or mixed cooktops. Please confirm this measurement with
your Local Building Authority.
6. Rest the support bracket on the drilling template so that it
coincides with the dotted rectangle, mark the two outer holes
and drill them, remove the drilling template, insert 2 wall plugs
and fix the rangehood support bracket into place using two
5x45mm screws.
7. Hang the rangehood on the bracket.
8. Adjust the distance of the rangehood from the wall.
9. Adjust the horizontal position of the rangehood.
10. Using a pencil mark the rangehood permanent drill hole inside
the suction group (2 fixing points are necessary for permanent
mounting of the model in fig. 1K/6K).
11. Remove the rangehood from the bracket.
12. Drill at the point marked (Ø8mm - see operation 10).
13. Insert 1 or 2 wall screw anchors according to requirement.
14. Restthechimneysupportbracket"G“againstthewall,touching
the ceiling. Use the support bracket as a drilling template (the
small slot formed on the support must coincide with the line
drawnonthewallasabove–operation4)andmark2holeswith
a pencil, drill the holes (Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs.
15. Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using two 5x45mm
screws.
16. Hook the rangehood onto the bottom bracket.
17. Fix the rangehood into its final position on the wall
(ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL).
18. Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not provided, to be
purchased separately) for discharge of fumes to the connection
ring located over the suction motor unit.

18
If the rangehood is to be used in ducting version, the other end
of the pipe must be connected to a device expelling the fumes
to the outside. If the rangehood is to be used in filter version,
then fix the deflector "F" to the chimney support bracket "G"
and connect the other extremity of the pipe to the connection
ring placed on the deflector "F" .
19. Make the electrical connections.
20. Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the top to the
chimney support "G“ (20b) using 2 screws (20a).
Onlyformodelwithopticalfiberspointlighting (Fig.1G-6G):
Check that the chimneys may be removed to permit access to
the optical fibers lamp housing area.
21. Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until it completely
coversthesuctionunitandslotsintothehousingprovidedontop
of the rangehood.
22. Fix the lower section of the chimney with two screws (only for
the model in Fig. 1H/6H-1J/6J).
Replace the grease filter/s and check that the rangehood is
operating correctly.
Electrical connection
The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the
label placed inside the rangehood. Connect the electrical plug,
where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with
local standards in force.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to
electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with
an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the
contacts.

Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the rangehood is
disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
Therangehoodshould becleanedregularlyinternallyandexternally.
Forcleaninguse acloth moistenedwith denaturedalcohol orneutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the
rangehood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Greasefilter
This must be cleaned once a month (and, for the model with
electronic control panel, every time LED 4 starts to flash – see
preceding page) 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 "F" - (Fig.
2).
Charcoalfilter(filterversiononly)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (when
usingthe rangehood2.5 hoursperday, inaverage and,for the
model with electronic control panel, every time LED 5 starts to
flash – see preceding page) using hot water and a suitable
detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used,
select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the
mattresslocated insidethe plastic frameand putitin theoven for10
minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3
years and when the cloth is damaged.
Removethe filterholderframe byturningthe knobs "G" 90° thataffix
the chimney to the rangehood (Fig. 3).
Insert the pad "I" of activated carbon into the frame "H" and fit the
whole back into its housing "J".
