• Fitting the cooker hood into the lower part of the wall
cabinet
For all measurements relating to the cooker hood, please
refer to Fig.4.
Before fixing the cooker hood to the lower part of the cabinet,
the following steps should be performed:
1- Remove the 4 screws E fixing the two cooker hood lamps H
(RHS and LHS) in place as indicated in Fig. 5A.
2- Remove the lamps H and disconnect the connectors W of
the halogen lamps to make installation easier, as indicated
in Fig. 5B.
3. Make sure the thickness of the cabinet falls within the range
of values listed in Fig. 5C.
Fit the cooker hood in the cabinet (Fig. 6) and make sure the
4 springs are fixed in place well.
Fix the cooker hood to the cabinet securely by using a screw-
driver to tighten the screws M until the appliance is flush with
the cabinet (Fig. 6).
4. Connect the connectors W of the halogen lamps again and
reinstall the lamps H fixing them with the 4 screws E that were
previously removed.
• Extractor version
When installed in this way the appliance expels fumes outside,
either through a perimeter wall or through existing ducting.
It is therefore necessary to purchase a non-flammable air
exhaust tube (not supplied) which complies with all current
legislation and connect it to flange N (Fig.1B).
• Filter hood
- To transform the hood from the SUCTION version to the
FILTERING version, charcoal filters must be ordered from your
dealer as an accessory.
- There are two different types of kits available, one with non-
regenerable active carbon filters (Fig.7) and the other with
regenerable active carbon filters (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 maintenance; 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 clog-
ging 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 s 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.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand,
with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at
a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishware). Remove excess water without
damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat
dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a
maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable
charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be
repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• 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 denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: The non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.9A).
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.9B):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of
a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
• Commands: (Fig.10) luminous the key symbols are ex-
plained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes
• If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed func-
tion, press key E for two seconds and it will be activated for 10
minutes after which it will return to the previously set speed.
When the function is active the LED flashes. To interrupt it
before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.
• By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched
off) the "clean air" function is activated. This function switches
the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the first speed.
As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
first speed for ten minutes, During this time key F and key C
must flash at the same time.
After ten minutes the motor switches off and the LED of key
F remains switched on with a fixed light until the motor starts
up again at the first speed after fifty minutes and keys F and
C start to flash again for ten minutes and so on.
By pressing any key for the exclusion of the hood light the
hood will return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g.
if key D is pressed the "clean air" function is deactivated and
the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By pressing
key B the function is deactivated).
