burning gas or other fuels, but must have a separate outlet. All national regulations governing
extraction of fumes must be observed.
GB3
• If the hood is used together with other appliances operating on gas or other fuels, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). For this reason, make sure the room is
adequately ventilated.
• The Manufacturer declines any liability for improper use or incorrect setting of the controls.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to correct functioning and good performance of the
appliance. Frequently clean all encrustations from dirty surfaces to prevent the accumulation of grease.

INSTALLATION
After unpacking the appliance, check for any transport damage. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any
damage, only remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam packaging at the time of installation.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING:
this is a heavy product; the hood should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
The minimum distance between the support of the cooking pans on top of the cooker and the bottom of the hood must not be less than 50 cm for electric
cookers and 65 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Before installation also check the minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between cooker and hood, this distance must be observed.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure the power voltage specified on the appliance rating plate is the same as the mains voltage.
This information may be found on the inside of the hood, under the grease filter.
Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F 3 x 0,75 mm²) must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.
If the hood is fitted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place after installation. If no
plug is fitted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the socket is not located in an accessible place, install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable
complete isolation from the mains in case of category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with installation rules.
If the cable is not fitted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:

INSTALLATION - FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Extractor hood installation (A): fumes are extracted and expelled to the outside through an exhaust duct fixed to the flange C (bayonet coupling). Always
shut off the unused exhaust outlet with the plug D1 provided (if provided- bayonet coupling).
Important: some models are supplied with the upper hole B1 closed with a plug D1. Remove the plug to enable use.
Important! Not all models have rear drain hole B2.
Please note: if necessary, remove plastic piece D2 or D3 with the aid of pliers or a box cutter.
The use of a rear exit with this product is PROHIBITED within the European Community member states, the EFTA countries, in Turkey and all countries subject to
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 65/2014 and Commission Regulation (EU) No. 66/2014.
Filter version installation (F): If it is not possible to duct fumes and steam to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version by fitting a carbon
filter/s (not supplied). In this way, fumes and steam are recycled through the front grille section positioned above the control panel.
Check the position of the extraction/filter selector (inside the hood) G.
Fixing to the wall - Place the hood against the wall (or use the template H, if provided) and, using a pencil, mark the holes (3 or 4 Ø 8 mm holes), drill them,
insert the rawlplugs J in the holes and 2 screws K in the top holes. Remove the grille and hang the hood on the 2 screws. Next, from inside, insert the third (and
fourth) screws L and screw them all down.
Fixing to the wall unit - Position the hood (or use the template H, if provided) and, using a pencil, mark the 4 Ø 6 mm holes to be drilled on the bottom of the
wall unit.
Fix the hood in place with 4 screws M from inside the wall unit.
DESCRIPTION AND USE OF THE HOOD
Control panel
Light: move the switch to the right or press the next button to switch on.
Extraction speed: move the switch to the right or press the next button to increase extraction speed.
Cleaning
Clean using ONLY the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT
USE ALCOHOL!
Grease filter - can be one of the following types:
Paper filter: must be replaced once a month or, if the top side is coloured, when the colour shows through the holes in the grille.
Metal filter: must be washed once a month by hand or in a dishwasher, using a quick wash cycle with a low temperature.
To access the grease filter open the grille using the spring release catches E1 or E2 or E3 and release it from the retainers R1 or R2.
The self-supporting metallic filter has no support grille. To remove it, pull the spring release handles E1 backwards and remove the filter downwards.
Important! Over time, the metallic filter may become opaque; this in no way affects its filtering capacity.
Carbon filter - can be one of the following types:
Shaped V1: Remove the cover W by turning the knobs O through 90°.
Insert the carbon filter inside the special housing and secure it in place by turning the knob O through 90°, then close the cover.
Replace every 4 months.
Rectangular V2: insert the rear edge first T and then the front (U) - replace every 6 months.
Circular V3: Bayonet coupling. Position the filter in the centre so that it covers the motor-protection grille, make sure that the reference mark X1 or X2 or X3
or X4 on the carbon filter is aligned with the the reference mark Y on the fan shroud, then turn clockwise; to remove, turn anti-clockwise, if provided with a tab
Z remember to lift it up slightly first. Replace every 4 months.
Replacing the bulb/s - Remove the filters then replace the burnt-out bulb.
