Safety Information

For your own safety and correct operation of the appliance, please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Always keep these instructions together with the appliance, even if it is sold or transferred to third parties. It is important that users are familiar with all the appliance's operating and safety characteristics.

Connection of the wiring must be performed by a specialist technician.

• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from incorrect or inadequate installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker hob and the extractor hood is: for electrical hob 600mm and for gas hob 650mm.
• If the gas hob installation instructions specify a distance greater than that indicated above, this must be taken into account.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• The cut-out devices must be installed in the fixed system according to the wiring system regulations.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply has a suitable earthing connection.
• Connect the hood to the flue with a pipe with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. The fume path must be as short as possible.
• All the regulations regarding air discharge must be complied with.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• The power cord, if damaged, must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a service technician.
• Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place.
• Regarding the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to strictly follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

WARNING: Before installing the hood, remove the protective films.

• Use only screws and small parts of a type suitable for the hood.

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing devices in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

• Connect the hood to the power supply by means of a bipolar switch with a distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm.
• Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars, magnifying glasses...).
• Do not flambé under the hood; risk of fire.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking in experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be performed by children, unless they are supervised.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking in experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.

The accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

• Clean and/or replace the filters after the time specified (fire hazard).
• There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
• Kitchen hoods and other cooking fume extractors can affect the safe operation of appliances which burn gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to the backflow of combustion gases. These gases can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. After installing a kitchen extractor hood or any other cooking fume extractor, make sure that the gas appliances are tested by a certified technician to guarantee that there is no backflow of combustion gases.

General Information

Use

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• The top of the hood must not be used as a shelf.
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively to eliminate cooking smells in domestic use.
• Never use the extractor hood for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
• Never leave high flames under the extractor hood when it is on.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.

Installation method

The hood has been designed for installation and use in the "suction version" or in the "air recirculation version".

Extraction version [see symbol in the installation instructions]

Cooking steam is suctioned and channelled outside the house through a discharge duct (not supplied), fitted to the hood steam outlet. Make sure that the outlet duct is properly installed at the air outlet, using a suitable connection system.

Air recirculation version [see symbol in the installation instructions]

The air is filtered through one or more carbon filters, and then resent into the room. Important: Ensure appropriate air circulation around the hood.

Important: If the hood is supplied without carbon filters and installed on recirculation mode, these must be fitted before the hood can be used. The filters are commercially available.

The hood should be installed away from particularly dirty areas, windows, doors and heat sources. Wall mounting accessories are not included as they vary depending on the wall material. Use fixing systems suitable for the walls of your home and for the weight of the appliance. For further details, contact a specialist dealer. Keep this booklet for future consultation.

Control Panel

Light

To turn on the lights, press the hand grip and release it so that it comes out of its housing. To turn off the lights, press the hand grip in again, putting it back in the off position.

Motor speed adjustment

Push the hand grip and release it so that it comes out of its housing, then turn the hand grip to select one of the available suction speeds.

General Tips

• Operate the hood at minimum speed at the start of cooking and keep it running for a few minutes after cooking is finished.
• Only increase the speed in the presence of large quantities of smoke and steam and only use the booster speed(s) in extreme situations.
• Replace the filter or carbon filters when necessary to maintain good odour reduction efficiency.
• Clean the grease filter or filters when necessary to maintain good grease absorption efficiency.
• Use the maximum diameter of the ducting indicated in this manual to optimise efficiency and to minimise noise.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.

IMPORTANT: Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

Long-life carbon filter (Green)

The odour filter can be washed and regenerated every 3-4 months (or more frequently if the hood is subject to intensive use), up to a maximum of 8 regeneration cycles (in case of particularly intensive use it is recommended that you do not exceed 5 cycles).

Regeneration procedure

• Wash in the dishwasher at a MAX temperature of 70° or hand wash in hot water without using abrasive sponges (do not use detergents!).
• Dry in the oven at a MAX temperature of 70° for 2 hours (it is advisable to carefully read the user manual and the assembly instructions of the oven you own).

Grease filters

Continue to clean or replace the filters at the scheduled intervals to keep the hood in good working order and avoid the potential risk of fire due to the excessive build-up of grease. The grease filters must be cleaned after every 2 months of operation or more frequently in the case of very intense use and are dishwasher safe.

Light replacement
