Use
Model with integrated suction motor
The hood is supplied in the FILTERING version and is used without an extracted fumes discharger conduit.
Fumes and steam are recycled through the F deflector.
If you intend using the product in the SUCTION version, it is necessary to have an evacuation conduit going from the upper
B exit to the extraction hole towards the exterior.
In this case a connection ring has to be installed on the B extraction hole and the carbon filter removed.
A telescopic flue is available (as an accessory).
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
If this is not possible, a multi-connection is supplied for tubes and discharge holes with a smaller diameter to pressure apply to the air outlet (connection flange).
The hood will become a little noisier.
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.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed.
Model without integrated suction motor
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.
Warning: Only use a peripheral suction unit with total absorption not higher than 250 W.
Installation
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 30cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
It is possible to install the hood so that the distance between the cooking top and the fats filter is not less than less than 65 cm in the case of gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
You will notice a loss in capturing the fumes If the hood is positioned at a distance greater than that recommended.
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. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent 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.
Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
• Remove the active carbon (*) 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.
Only for some models
An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional accessory.
Check with the authorized dealer whether the model in your possession envisages this possibility.
We advise installing the hood after having purchased the flue to check with certainty the most suitable installation.
Fig. 5
• Apply three adhesive strips C to the back of the hood.
If necessary (in the case of walls not perfectly perpendicular or in the presence of walls partly covered with tiles) apply two D spacers in correspondence with the definitive fixing holes (click fixing).
• Trace a centre line on the wall to facilitate the montage
(1), position the hole template so that the middle line printed on it corresponds to the centre line previously drawn and that the lower side of the grill corresponds to the lower part of the hood once mounted (2).
• Make two holes with the 8 mm Ø drill and fix the support bracket with two dowels and wall screws (3).
• Open the steam screen and remove the grease filter (see relative paragraph).
• Hang up the hood (4), adjusting its position (5-6) and from the inner part of the hood mark two points for the definitive fixing (7). Remove the hood and make two 8 mm Ø holes (8), insert two wall dowels, hang the hood up again and fix it definitively with two screws (9).
• Connect disconnected from the general electric panel of the house.
• If the hood is to be used in the suction version, install the flange supplied in the kit on the exit hole of the hood
(11A - suction version – also install a fumes discharge tube of suitable dimensions) instead of the deflector (11F
– filtering version).
• Mount the grease filter and close the steam screen.
Attention! If the hood is to be used in the suction version, remove, if supplied with the kit, the carbon filter and the fixing rods (on the back of the grease filter – see relative paragraph).
If the hood is to be used in the filtering version, check that the carbon filter is already mounted on the back of the grease filter or, in its absence, purchase it and install it.
• Connect the hood to the general electric panel, wait for about 15 seconds to allow the hood to calibrate the control panel (the leds of the controls flash) and check the functioning.

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 the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. 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 oserving 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.
Steam screen
The steam screen must always be left closed and opened only for maintenance (e.g. cleaning or changing filters).
Grease filter
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.
Open the steam screen.
Pull the handle downwards and extract the filter. Fig. 2
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
