Additional Installation Specifications:
Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation.
Use the correct length screws which are identified in the
Installation Guide
WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
Use
The hood is conceived for the suction of cooking fumes and steam and is destined only for domestic use.
The hood has been made for use in the internal recirculating filtering version.
Cooking fumes and steam are aspirated inside the hood, filtered and cleaned, passing through the fat filter/s and the carbon filter/s that MUST be supplied with the hood.
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 65cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
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, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current 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
This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons.
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) 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
9 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.
Identify on the ceiling a reference point from the exact installation center of the hood (see fig. 1), and then trace the reference points for the holes to be made in accordance with the dimensions shown in Fig. 2.
Make the holes in the ceiling using a suitable twist drill bit with
8 mm diameter and insert the supplied plugs.
Approach the hood to the ceiling and make the electrical connection.
Open the stainless steel panel placed on the underside of the product, where the four lamps are located.
The opening of the panel is made by pulling on the side corresponding to the air outlet grill. (Fig. 3).
Support the panel with your hands while opening it.
After the opening of the panel you can access the grease filter and after removing it, by acting on the handle, you can reach the seat of the charcoal filter (Fig. 4)
Place the hood on the set position and secure it with the supplied screws, see Figure 5.
Place the charcoal filter in its seat as shown in Figure 6.
Restore the grease filter removed earlier and close the steel panel.
To close the panel, simply bring it back to the horizontal position until the automatic hooking of the closing takes place.
Operation
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

The grease filter must be cleaned once a month 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.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
