•ElectricConnection:
Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:
- If the symbol
appears on the plate, it means that no earth
connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow
the instructions concerning insulation class II.
- If the symbol
DOES NOT appear on the plate, follow the
instructions concerning insulation class I.
Insulation class II
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary.
The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the
appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord with-
out plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm
minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between
the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the
load and current regulations.
- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
Insulation class I
This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to
an effiecient earthing system.
- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as
follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
YELLOW/GREEN =
earth.
The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the
N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected
to the terminal by the earth symbol
.
When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make
sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting
the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is
in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance
is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar
switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be
placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the
load required and it must comply with current legislation.
•  The minimum distance between the support surfaces of
the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of
the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube
composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be pla-
ced outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood
exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for
evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other
than an electrical source. Before proceeding with the assembly
operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.7) so that the
unit is easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
•  We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the
same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a
smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be
reduced and its operation may become noisier.
•  If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations
supplied with acentralised suction device perform the fol-
lowing operations:
- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using
a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the ON
position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allow-
ing suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF
position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.
•Fixingtothewall:
Make hole A respecting the shown dimensions (Fig.2). Fix de-
vice to wall and align it horizontally with the cupboards. When
the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix the hood using
the screws A (Fig.5). For the various installations use screws
and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced
concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors
are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for
the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.
•Fixingthedecorativetelescopicflue:
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of
the decorative flue. If your appliance is to be installed in the
ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare
the air exhaust opening. Install the upper decorative flue's sup-
port bracket and fix it on the wall using the screws A (Fig.3) so
it is in axis with your hood and respecting the distance from
the ceiling shown in Fig.2. Connect flange C to air extraction
hole via an air extraction pipe (Fig.5). Insert upper decorative
flue inside the lower decorative flue and rest them on top of
the frame. Extract the upper flue up to the bracket and fix it
with the screws B (Fig.3). To transform the hood from a ducting
version into a filtering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal
filters and follow the installation instructions.
•Filteringversion:
Install the hood and the two flues as described in the para-
graph for installation of the hood in ducting version. Connect
air diverter M to bracket and fix it with screws I as shown in
Fig.4. The active charcoal filters must be applied to the suction
unit inside the hood, centring them in it and turning them 90°
until they snap into place (Fig.8).
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before
any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is
left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order
to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective
performance of the cooker hood depends on constant main-
tenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
•Theanti-greasefilter is responsible retaining the grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging
with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does
not give the right to claim their replacement.
•Theactivecarbonfilters are used to purify the air that is
sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease filter is cleaned.
•Beforeremountingtheanti-greasefiltersandtheregen-
erable active charcoal filters it is important that they are
completely dry.
•Cleanthehoodfrequently,bothinternallyandexternally,
using a cloth dampened with water or non-abrasive neutral
liquid detergents.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
