Instructions for the Use and
Care and Installation of
BRFT7X Twin Motor
Rangehood
WARNING
--------------------------------------------------------
The distance between the supporting
surface for the cooking vessels on the hob
and the lower part of the hood must be at
least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation
for the hob specify a greater distance, this
has to be taken into account.
For installation over a gas range or gas
cooking hob a different specific minimum
height requirement may be required by the
relevant gas authorities.
The air collected must not be conveyed
into a duct used to blow off smokes from
appliances fed with an energy other than
electricity (central heating systems, ther-
mosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).
Comply with the official instructions provided
by the competent authorities in merit when
installing the disposal duct. In addition,
exhaust air should not be discharged into
a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed
for that purpose.
The room must be well aerated in case a
hood and some other heat equipment fed
with an energy other than electricity (gas,
oil, coal heaters, etc) operate at the same
time. In fact the intake hood, disposing of
air, could create a vacuum in the room.
The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar.
This prevents the gas exhausted by the
heat source from being intaken again. It is
therefore advisable to ensure the room
contains air taps able to ensure a steady
flow of fresh air.
This appliance has such technical
particulars that it belongs to class II
insulation, therefore it must not be
earthed.
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
When making the electrical connections,
check that the voltage values correspond
to those indicated on the data plate inside
the appliance itself. In case your appliance
English
is not furnished with a non separating
flexible cable and has no plug, or has not
got any other device ensuring omnipolar
disconnection from the electricity main, with
a contact opening distance of at least 3mm,
such separating device ensuring
disconnection from the main must be
included in the fixed installation. If your unit
features a power lead and plug, position
this so the plug is accessible.
Always switch off the electricity supply be-
fore carrying out any cleaning or servicing
operations on the appliance.
USE
--------------------------------------------------------
Avoid using materials which could cause
spurts of flame (flambées) near the ap-
pliance.
When frying, take particular care to prevent
oil and grease from catching fire. Already
used oil is especially dangerous in this re-
spect. Do not use uncovered electric grates.
To avoid possible risks of fire always comply
with the indicated instructions when cleaning
anti-grease filters and when removing
grease deposits from the appliance.
MAINTENANCE
--------------------------------------------------------
Thorough servicing guarantees correct and
long-lasting operation.
Any fat deposits should be removed from
the appliance periodically depending on
amount of use (at least every 2 months).
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive products.
To clean painted appliances on the outside,
use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and
neutral detergent. To clean steel, copper
or brass appliances on the outside, it is
always best to use specific products,
following the instructions on the products
themselves. To clean the inside of the
appliance, use a cloth (or brush) dipped in
denatured ethyl alcohol.
WARNING - Ensure that the appliance
is switched off before replacing light
globes to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------
The appliance can be used both in Ducting
version and Filtering version.
In the Ducting version (Fig. 1), cooking
vapours and/or odours are conveyed straight
outside (ceiling and/or wall) by a disposal duct,
using the holes that are predisposed on the
top and/or at the back of the apparatus.
In the Filtering version (Fig. 2) cooking
vapours and/or odours are depurated by 2
charcoal filters and recirculated around the
room by the front fissures. ATTENTION: For
the filtering version it is absolutely necessary
to use the charcoal filters whereas for the
ducting version it is not.
INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------
Before assembling the appliance it is necessary
to take off the anti-grease grilles. To take off the
grill it is necessary to push this one towards the
rear of the apparatus, by means of the proper
knobs, so that it gets released, and to rotate it
(Fig. 3); to take it off completely, make it rotate
on one side keeping the other one steady.
Installation in extraction version:
Depending on your requirements, choose
which opening to use for the air outlet (rear or
upper) and fit the flange (A) provided,
proceeding as follows: make the 3 flange tabs
and stop (C) coincide with the slots on the
hood; turn the flange slightly clockwise until it
locks into position (Fig. 4).
On the other opening, fit the cap (B) provided
and make the 3 cap tabs and stop (D) coin-
cide with the slots on the hood; turn the cap
slightly clockwise until it locks into position.
Installation in filter version:
On both the openings (rear and upper), fit the
caps (B) provided, making the 3 cap tabs and
the stop (D) coincide with the slots on the
hood; turn the cap slightly clockwise until it
locks into position.
The following operations are essential for
assembly:
– Install a proper wiring system.
– If your apparatus is to be assembled as a
Ducting appliance, you must first make the
air venting hole and get a proper pipe to
connect the hole to the flange of the hood.
Ducting from the rangehood carrying the
exxhaust air, should not exceed a lenght of
three (3) metres.
For ducted installation we recommend using
galvanised or similar metal type flue pipe. PVC
or other type of plastic materials must not
be used. Ducting must be taken to the outside
of the building and MUST NOT be directed
into a ceiling cavity.
Ducting size should always comply with the
manufacturers specification. The ducting size
should be no less than 125 mm.
Wall fitting
Fig. 5: take 2 of the screws (S) enclosed (the
smallest ones) and partially insert them in the
holes on the telescopic slide (A); do not fix
them completely: they must hold the telescopic
slide. Push the slide back as much as possible
and block it with some adhesive tape (W).
Fix the lower part to the upper part of the
hood by means of the 4 screws supplied (Fig.
5).
Using the drilling template fit 2 of the screw
anchors supplied to the wall (in
correspondence to the holes B (Fig. 6). Insert
two of the screws supplied and hook the
apparatus using the holes B on the rear (Fig.6).
Before fully tightening the screws, mark the
position of the 2 holes C on the wall with a
marking pen. Unhook the hood and drill the 2
holes in the marked positions and insert the
screw anchors. Hook the hood back on and
finally fix it with the 4 screws. Remove the
adhesive tape from the telescopic part and
pull it downwards until it touches the hob.
Make the electrical connection.
Assembly of the telescopic flue (Fig. 7)
Take the bottom bracket (D) and fit the plates
(P) provided in both sides, as shown in Fig.
7 Do the same for the top bracket (E).
Fix the lower bracket (D) onto the apparatus.
Fix the upper bracket (E) onto the ceiling; in
order to position the bracket on the same axis
as your apparatus, refer to the small triangle
(F) that is on the central axis.
Take the two telescopic pipes minding that
you have to lift slightly the smaller pipe (the
upper one); insert the pipes from the front,
expanding slightly with your hands so that
they can get hooked onto the two brackets.
Fix the pipes to the brackets by means of the
screws G and H.
Wall cupboard fitting
Using the appropriate drilling jig make the four
fixing holes into the bottom of the wall cupboard
and cut the air venting hole if the hood is a ducting
version one (for the filtering version this hole is
not necessary). Holding the hood against the
bottom of the cupboard fix it to it by means of the
supplied four screws (Fig. 8).
Fig. 9: take 2 of the screws (S) enclosed (the
smallest ones) and partially insert them in the
holes on the telescopic slide (A); do not fix
them completely: they must hold the telescopic
slide. Push the slide back as much as possible
and block it with some adhesive tape (W).
Rest the lower part of the hood against the
wall and mark the position of the 2 holes C
(Fig. 9) on the wall with a marking pen. Remove
the lower part and drill 2 holes in the marked
positions and insert the screw anchors.
Fix the lower part by means of the 6 screws
supplied (Fig. 9).
Remove the adhesive tape from the telescopic
part and pull it downwards until it touches the
hob.
Make the electrical connections.
IMPORTANT:
Check the position of screw M (Fig. 10).
For the ducting version screw M must be
completely screwed; for the filtering version
the screw must be completely unscrewed
to let the sucked air to get out through
the top fissures.
OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------
Controls (Fig. 11):
A = light switch.
B = first speed motor ON/OFF switch.
C = second speed switch.
D =third speed switch.
E = warning light: indicates motor operation.
In case the hood is a filtering version one, it is
necessary to change the charcoal filters (Fig.
10N) according to utilization about every six
month. To remove the charcoal filters:
– take off the anti-grease grilles as described
above.
– lift the two metallic stops (Fig. 10P).
– remove the charcoal filter.
The 2 anti-grease filters are easily removed
from the grille by opening it as described above
and lifting the two stops made of metallic wire
(Fig. 10P). In the filtering version, to get access
to the anti-grease filter the charcoal filters must
be removed too.
Warning : There is a third metallic filter (not
visible) which can be accessed through the
opening R (Fig. 12).
Clean the anti-grease filters depending on use
(on average every 6 months). Handwash them
with neutral detergent or in the dishwasher.
To gain access to the light bulb(s), remove
the anti-grease grille as described above and
remove the bulb(s). Replace with lamps of the
same type.
