USE
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.
DUCTING VERSION
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
- Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
- Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
- Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
- Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
- The duct must be made of certified material.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed.
FILTER VERSION
In the case of not being able to discharge the fumes and the steam of cooking outside, the hood in the filter version can be used mounting the F deflector on the
flue and one or more carbon filters (on the basis of the model possessed). The fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen through upper grill H.
Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.
INSTALLATION
Preparing for installation
WARNING
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than
50cm from electric cookers and 70cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in
compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is
not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the
mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly
assembled.
Mounting (Fig. 3)
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in
accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to
the wall. Surface mounting only.
Operation
The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to
cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
this is a heavy product; the hood should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
