Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

This canopy hood is designed to be fitted into cabinets or chimney cooker hoods,

placed above a hotplate. It can be used either in the extraction mode (ducted to the

outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal recycling). Before starting the

installation, consideration should be given to the difficulties to be found during

installation. The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and

competent person in conformity to the rules concerning the evacuation of

contaminated air. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or

injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation

contained in the following text.

2 - SAFETY WARNINGS

2.1 - When used in the extraction mode, the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to

a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other

than electric, such as a central heating flue or water heating flue.

2.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with

the voltage on the rating plate inside the hood.

2.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance

between the contacts.

2.4 - The device does not require earthing, as it is double-insulated.

2.5 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above the hotplate.

2.6 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.

2.7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.

2.8 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the

mains supply.

2.9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such

as a central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.

If other types of flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of

air into the room. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied

with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04

mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

3 - INSTALLATION

The following scheme has to be observed:

3.1 - Installation of the built-in group

3.2 - Set the hood for recirculation or evacuation

3.3 - Connect the hood to the mains supply and ensure that it works properly

Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 - Installation of the fitted group

1 - Make a

rectangular

opening in the

base of the

overhead

cupboard or

hood, leaving a

minimum of 13 mm from the

outer edges according to the

dimensions indicated in the

table.

2 - Drill a hole into the upper side

of the cabinet in accordance

with the dimensions of the

duct used for both the

evacuation and recirculation

mode.

3 - Dismantle the ducting support

(version with grill or version

with filters), pulling the two

pommels A (fig. 1)

simultaneously:

a) Fixing frame with screws:

Fix the fitted group to the hood

or cupboard, using the self-

threading screws (No. 10)

provided with the

accessories (fig. 2).

b) Rapid fixing with side

supports:

The device B is set up

to deal with a panel

thickness of from 15

mm to 30 mm. Insert

the group into the

opening until the two

devices B connect. Lock

the adjustment screw C

until the fitted group adheres

tightly to the surface (fig. 2).

Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4 - Close the ducting support by pushing and connecting the two pommels A (fig. 3).

3.2 - Ducting or recirculation fitting

1 - Ducting fitting:

a) The hood can be ducted to the outside

using either a rigid or a flexible Ø 100

or 120 mm duct to be fixed with

suitable clamps, not provided

(fig. 4).

b) If the hood is provided with the

charcoal filters fitted, the filters

should be removed (see par.3.2

part 2).

2 - Recirculation fitting:

a) When used in the recirculation mode,

the charcoal filters must be fitted

into the cooker hood (see par. 3.2

part 2).

b) The air is recirculated into the

kitchen through the opening

located on the upper side of the

cabinet or of the hood (fig. 4).

3.3 - Electrical connection and working test

1 - The safety measures 2.2, 2.3 and

2.4 of paragraph 2 are to be strictly

observed.

2 - Once the electrical connection has

been completed, check that the

worktop illumination, motor and

speeds work properly.

Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1 - SAFETY WARNINGS

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of the Installation

Instructions are strictly observed. Moreover, special attention must be paid to the

following warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood:

1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended

by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4

hours per day).

1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of

the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed.

Switch off the gas before removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave

the hob unattended.

1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame

from licking round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a

dangerous concentration of heat.

1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions for the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.

2 - USE

Control panel

The cooker hood can be operated as follows:

LIGHT SWITCH L = controls the worktop

illumination;

MOTOR SWITCH V = controls the power to

the motor and the fan speed:

Position 1 = low speed, should be selected

when simmering or using only

one pan: the noise level is kept

to the minimum.

Position 2 = medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed

offers the best ratio between air capacity and noise level.

Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong

odours, even for a long period.

3 - MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while

extending the working life of the hood. Special attentions should be paid to the grease

filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.

Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 - Metal grease filters

1 - Cleaning

The metal grease filter should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and

can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using mild detergent or liquid soap.

2 - Replacement

The metal filters are easily removed, one at a

time, applying a slight pressure towards the rear

of the hood while pulling downwards (fig. 6).

ATTENTION: There could be a possible fire

hazard if the filters are not replaced

according to these instructions.

3.2 - Synthetic filters

1 - This filter cannot be washed and

should be replaced every two

months. If the filter is provid ed

with a saturation indicator,

whole surface of the filter.

2 - Replacement:

a)Remove the ducting grill,

referring to paragraph 3.1.3. on

installation.

b) After having taken off the ducting grill, remove the filter stops (1).

Replace the grease filter (2) (fig. 7).

c) Close the ducting grill up again.

3.3 - Grease Filters (metal panels)

1 - Cleaning

ATTENTION: There could be a possible fire hazard if the filters are not replaced

according to these instructions.

Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

3.4 - Charcoal filters

1 - Functioning

In the recycling mode the

charcoal filters absorb smell

and odours. The charcoal

filter cannot be washed or

regenerated and should be

replaced every 2 months or

more frequently if the hood

is used consistently.

2 - Replacement:

a) Remove the ducting grill, referring to paragraph 3.1.3. on installation.

b) Replace the active charcoal filter (fig. 8).

3.5 - Lighting

1 - This is provided by two 40 W lamps or by two 20 W haolgen lamps. If the lamps do

not work, open the suction grille and check that they are properly fitted. If the lamps

have burned out they must be

replaced using others of equivalent

voltage and power.

2 - Replacement:

a) 40 W lamp (fig.9), unscrew the

burned out lamp and fit the new one.

b) 20 W halogen lamp (fig.10), extract

the lamp by pulling gently. When
