Introduction

These instructions are designed to tell you of the various technical details of

your cooker hood and to make you familiar with its use.Since these instructions

cover more than one type of hood within the same series, it may be that reference

is made to components that do not form part of the hood that you are installing.

Fittings can vary from country to country. We reserve the right to modify the

product without any notice always with the aim of improvements and in

compliance with the relevant norm.

General description

The appliance can be used as a canopy hood or can be mounted beneath a

wall cupboard and is suitable for use as an exhaust hood or as a recirculating

hood; if an exhaust facility (an exhaust duct or a ventilating shaft) is available,

then we recommend the hood be installed as an exhaust hood for then, most

of the smells and vapors that arise when cooking or frying can be almost

completely removed from the kitchen. The grease filter that is fitted removes any

grease particles from the vapors so that your kitchen, the kitchen furniture and

the walls remain for the most part free of grease and other particles that could

give rise to unpleasant odours.

Exhaust version

The hood must be connected by the flange (supplied as part of the hood) to

a duct to vent all the exhausted air outside the kitchen.Over horizontal areas,

if any, the duct must be slanted about 10% upwards from upstream to

downstream. Pease make sure that the lever (fig. 6/2) is in the exhaust position.

N.B. The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the ducts

and number of elbows increase.When using the exhaust version, follow these

rules: Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and air ducts serving

the room.

Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in use, ask for the

approval of the person or agency responsible for the building. The evacuated

air must not be let into a warm air duct.For the evacuation of the exhausted air

please note ufficial instructions.

Suggestions for using the hood in exhaust position

When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas, oil,

coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time, attention is required because the

air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through the hood and

this creates depression. There is no such danger when the maximum depression

in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no exhaust gas from the heat source

is piped. To assure this condition, make openings in the room which cannot be

closed (doors, windows, etc. are not sufficient) and through which the air

necessary for combustion can freely flow.

Note: — All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be studied.

In case of doubts, get advice or authorization from the person or agency

responsible for the building.

Filter version

This version is used when no exhaust duct to the outdoors is available. The air

is purified by an active vegetable carbon filter and recycled into the room. Make

sure the carbon odor filter is inserted.

Using the cooker hood

The cooker hood should be switched on either before or at the same as cooking

or frying commences. Before using the cooker hood please ensure that all

plastic films like on metal grease filter an stainless steel ducting are removed.

The grease and carbon filters are more effective if the fan is not switched off

immediately after cooking or frying is completed, but only after a period of some

20-30 minutes.

How the cooker hood works

The hood is fitted with a slide-swicht for speed and light regulation (fig. 3/1).

Preparing the cooker hood for use as a recirculation hood

If the hood is to be used as a recirculation hood the opening must be closed

with the cover which is provided. The hood is then switched over from exhaust

to recirculation by moving the lever (that is located beneath the lamp) to the left

(fig. 6/2).

When installing the hood and when it is in use, it must be ensured that the

opening at the top to the front of the hood is always unobstructed.

Installation

The hood must be mounted over the center of the cooking area. The minimum

distance between the cooker and the bottom of the hood must be 650 mm for

electric cookers and 750 mm for gas cookers. If there is no outer waste-pipe

for the exhaust version, an air outlet with a diameter of 130 mm must be made

through the wall.

N.B. The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect in the

various countries.

Fastening the cooker hood to the wall

1. Using fig.8 to draw the fixing holes onto the wall. Before drilling make sure

that no wiring will be damaged.

2. Drill the two fastening holes, drive in the wall plugs and screw in the screws

until their heads are about 6 mm from the wall (fig. 7/1).

3. Place the hood to the wall in order to check that it seats properly.

Than mark the position of the two holes (fig. 7/2). Take it off from the wall

now, drill the homes and fit the plugs.

4. Place the hood once again to the wall, tighten the screws (fig. 7/1) and

introduce the screws (fig. 7/2) from the inside of the appliance.

Fastening the cooker hood beneath a wall cupboard

1. Turn the wall cupboard upside down.

2. Using fig.8 to mark on the cupboard the positions of the 4 screws holes and

the exhaust opening.

3. Using a 4.5 mm bit, drill the four fastening holes in the bottom of the cupboard.

4. Only for hoods with an exhaust connection pointing upwards.

Cut the exhaust opening for a pipe of (130 mm diameter) and fasten the pipe

flange to the hood.

5. Turn the cupboard back over and stand it on the top of the cooker hood and

fasten the hood to the cupboard by means of four screws screwed through

the holes that were drilled in the bottom of the cupboard (fig. 7/3).

Electric connection

Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the

appliance data plate.

This appliances is double insulated, do not connect to earth.

Attention: If the appliance does not have a plug, when making a fixed

installation, a cutoff device must be used to assure omnipolar disconnection

the mains. The cutoff distance of the contacts must be at least 3 mm. If the

appliance is provided with a supply cord and plug, the appliances must be

positioned so that the plug is accessible.

Safety rules

Do not do any flambe cooking underneath the hood. When frying, never

leave the pan alone because the cooking oil could flare up. Clean all the

surfaces frequently to avoid danger of fire. It is also important to remove

and clean or substitute frequently the filter installed in the hood.

Maintenance

N.B. When performing maintenance operations, disconnect the plug from the

socket. Vapors and odors in the air are exhausted first through the grease filter

and then (if the hood is in filter version) through the odor filter. The efficiency

of the appliance depends on the condition of the filters.

Grease filter

This absorbs vapor-suspended grease particles and protects the kitchen and

furniture from greasy residues. There are three types of filter:

1. Acrylic. It can be washed at more or less frequent intervals depending on

how often the hood is used. In any case, it should be washed every thirty

days of hood operation. To do so, wash the filter by hand in warm soapy

water (do not wring the filter; press it in a cloth to dry).

2. Special paper (with coloured signs on the upper sureface ot the filter). Not-

washable: the filter must be changed, when the signs will be visible from

below through the grille holes.

3. Aluminum layers. The filter should be washed every 10 to 15 days (in normal

operating conditions). If the grease filter should change its colour it will not

have any effect on its function it will may increase it. Dip the filter into a

degreaser solution or put it in the dish washer. Make sure not to damage

the filter, which is made of several layers of thin alloy, by hitting or crushing

it.

Active carbon odor filter

Attention: The filter should only be used in filter hoods. The exhausted air

passes through the active carbon filter and is cleaned. This filter cannot be

washed and must be replaced depending on how often the hood is used (about

twice a year). Clean the outside of the hood with a sponge soaked with liquid

neutral detergent. Do not use products containing abrasives.

Replacing the grease filter

1. The hood is isolated from the electric supply by withdrawing the power plug.

2. In order to open the grid press the clips (fig. 4/1) at the left and at the right

one towards the other.

3. Tilt the filter frame downwards and push the frame forewards on one side

of the guide and disengage it from the groove.

4. The two ends of the wire yoke are then pressed outwards and lifted upwards

(fig. 5). The filter felt can then be removed.

After cleaning the grease-filter frame, the new grease filter to be inserted or filter

felt is cut to size and fitted in the frame.

Replacing the active carbon filter

(only for recirculation hoods)

For the substitution, please turn the filter counter clockwise (fig. 6/1).

N.B. The lamps must be only "candle" - type.

Never use lamps with higher rating that indicate on the cover.
