Recommendations and Suggestions
The instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
Installation
- The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
- Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
- For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
- Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood. When the range hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. The distance of 65 cm can be reduced for non-combustible parts of range hoods, and parts operating at safety extra low voltage, provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed.
- Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
- This appliance is for indoor household use only.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
- Please unplug before cleaning and maintenance the appliance. Use a soft cloth moistened with mild soap, and then use a dry cloth to wipe it again.
Use
The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
- Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
- Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation. 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.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range 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).
- There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
- Do not flame under the range hood.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
Extension sockets are forbidden.
Please cut off the power before maintenance.
This appliance has been designed for home use only, and may cause danger if used in special occasions.
Maintenance
The cooker hood and its filter should be cleaned regularly according to the instruction.
- Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
- Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
- The appliance uses 4 hob elements at most.

Dimensions
Unit: mm
Diagrams show the overall dimensions of the cooker hood, including width (598/898 mm), depth (448 mm), height (448 mm), and chimney dimensions. Minimum clearance from the hob is indicated as 650 mm.
Installation: Wall Drilling and Bracket Fixing
Follow these steps for wall mounting:
- Draw a vertical line up to the ceiling or upper limit in the center of the area where the hood will be fitted.
- Draw a horizontal line A at 835-935 mm above the cooker top.
- Draw a horizontal line B at 940 mm above line A.
- Draw a horizontal line C at 116 mm below line A.
Mark Points:
- Mark point (1) on line A, 80 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.
- Mark point (2) on line B, 40 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.
- Mark point (3) on line C, 155 mm from the vertical reference line. Repeat on the other side, ensuring marks are level.
Diagrams illustrate the line and point marking process.
Fix the brackets (Optional)
- Drill holes at the marked points with a 10 mm drill bit.
- Insert Wall Plugs 11 into the holes.
- Screw 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) into Wall Plugs 11 at horizontal line A. Approximately four-fifths of the screw length should be engaged for hooking the hood.
- Fix a Chimney fixing bracket 21 with 2 screws 10 (5x50) at horizontal line B.
Hook the hood body
- Hook the hood body to the 2 screws 10 (5 x 50) at horizontal line A.
- Level the hood body.
- Remove the filter from the inside of the hood body, then fix screws 10 to Wall Plugs 11 at points (3).
Diagrams show correct and incorrect hood hanging.
Connections: Ducted Version Air Exhaust System
When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe of 150 mm or 120 mm diameter, as chosen by the installer.
- If installing a 120 mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange 3 on the hood body outlet.
- Fix the pipe 4 in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
- Remove possible charcoal filters.
Diagrams illustrate pipe connection options.

- When fitting the filters into the hood, pay attention that they are mounted in the correct position, i.e., the handle facing outwards.
Activated Charcoal Filter (Recirculation Version)
These filters are not washable and cannot be regenerated, and must be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently with heavy usage.
Replacing the Activated Charcoal Filter
- Remove the metal grease filters.
- Remove the saturated activated charcoal filter.
- Fit the new filters.
- Replace the metal grease filters.
Lighting: Light Replacement
For rectangular LED:
- Remove the grease filter.
- Remove the light by levering its fitting from the hood body (this may require pressure or force to be applied).
- Disconnect the connector of the light.
- Replace the light with a new one of the same type, making sure that you connect the light with the light cable correctly.
- Reconnect the power by inserting the mains plug or by switching on the fuse.
