INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD
GB
Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed in accordance with European Standards and with the requirements included in the following
Directives: 2006/95EC ( Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
WARNINGS
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself,
therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in
case of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker
hood is moved to another installation plant.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data
plate inside the unit match those available at the installation site. Any
eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary
to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent
people.
Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages.
For any repair or needed technical action make reference to a
Technical Assistance Center, which is authorized to carry out the
replacement of the spare parts. Always make sure that all the electrical
parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are disconnected when the appliance is
not in use. By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical
system.
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of
exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by
people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or
by any illegitimate use.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy
implies the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:
This equipment is not intended for people (children included)
•
with reduced mental or motor capacities, with lack of
experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or
unless a person responsible for their security, gives them
instructions regarding the use of the equipment. Children
must be supervised in order to be sure that they do not play
with the equipment.
Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn't been
•
disconnected from the main power supply and if the main
switch of the house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is
not carried out according to these instructions, a fire may
break out.
Do not pull, take off or twist the cable coming out from the
•
appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the
main power supply.
Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
•
Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and
•
into the air discharge.
Do not take out the filters in order to reach the internal sides
•
of the appliance in case the main switch of the house
electrical system is not off.
Do not singe or flambé directly underneath the cooker hood.
•
Take particular care when frying to ensure that the oil does
not catch fire.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used
•
with cooking appliances.
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooking
hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 65cm
with a gas hob. If the mounting instructions of the gas hob indicate a
wider distance, respect it.
The unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top
radiant plate.
For proper operation it is recommended to install the product at a
distance of 200 – 210 cm from the floor.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust
fumes produced by gas-fed equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this
does not apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used
together with other gas or fuel equipments.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the
installation area.
Installation of the hood
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its
installation, which are suitable for most surfaces. Verify that the
installation surface is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to
present regulations.
The hood can be installed in two different ways:
Fixed with the motor directly on the ceiling (possible only when
•
the distance between the ceiling and the false ceiling is between
247 and 318mm). Follow the visual instructions Fig. 1-2-3-4-5-6.
Fixed with the motor directly on the false ceiling. Follow the
•
visual instructions Fig. 7-8.
The motor can also be positioned away from the hood at a distance not
longer than 7m. In this case the hood can only be used in the
exhausting version. If the motor is installed on the wall it is prohibited to
have the air outlet on the side. Fig. 9
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1.
Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and
inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the
plug can be disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make sure
that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation of the
equipment.
2.
By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch,
which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the
contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of the
overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations. The
ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency
ratings.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.
USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation). Kitchen smokes are driven outside
through a flue joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector. This pipe must
not under
any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler or burner exhaust
pipes, etc.
Filtering (inside recycling). In this case it is essential to install the the
activated carbon filters on the motor. Waste gases and vapours when
cooking are filtered through active carbon filters, depurated and re-
circulated into the kitchen through a tube connected to the ducting fitting
(spigot) on the cookerhood.
OPERATION
The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at
higher speeds only when there is a heavy build-up of fumes or odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started
and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated.

Reduce fan speed
When turned on, the engine is positioned at the second speed. The
motor speed is indicated by the lighting of the respective green LED
(ref. pos. 1-2-3-4). At the fourth speed (intensive, ref. pos. 4), the LED
flashes and after 5 minutes the motor returns to the third speed
automatically.
