appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
•
We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the
same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a
smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may
be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
Attention!
• Before proceeding with the installation, to be able to move the
hood more easily, complete the following operations:
1.
Remove the
anti-grease filter
l by pulling the handle, as
shown in figure 2 - phase 1.
2.
If the product is equipped with activated charcoal
filters (B)
,
remove them as shown in figure 2 - phase 2B
3.
Unhook the small
cupola
M
as shown in figure 2 - phase 4.
Wall mounting
Trace the bottom side of the hood on the wall. Consider the
measurements shown in fig. 3 and minimum distance from
the cooking surface.
- Mark and drill the holes, following the measurements shown
in fig. 3.
- Fasten the 4 anchors
A
fig. 3.
- Fasten bracket
C
to the wall using the 2 screws
B
fig. 3.
- Make sure the 2 levelling screws
D
are not tight (fig. 4).
- Take the appliance and hang it on bracket
C
figure 4 - phase 1.
- Align the appliance horizontally using the two levelling
screws
D
figure 4 - phase 2.
- Once the adjustment has been made, fasten the hood per-
manently using the screws
B
figure 4- phase 3.
- When carrying out the fixing operations, use only screws
and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced
concrete, plasterboard etc.).
If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the appli-
ance, make sure that they are suited to the type of wall to
which the hood must be fixed.
- Filtering version
- Unhook the small cupola
M
and remove the grille
E
(Fig. 5).
- Pass the power supply cable through the slots of the small
cupola
M
as shown in Fig. 6.
- Take the fairlead
H
and position it between the power sup-
ply cable and the slot.
- Fasten the small cupola
M
and the grille
E
making sure that
is it perfectly hooked on to the fastening pins
G
. (Fig. 6).
The filters must be applied to the suction unit positioned inside
the hood. They must be centred by turning them 90 degrees
until the stop catch is tripped (Fig.10B).
• Optional accessories
This model may have decorative ducts as optional accessories
- ask your retailer for information.
Before installing decorative flues it is necessary to remove the
small cupola and loosen the 4 screws
B
that lock the fastening
pins
G
as shown in Fig.7.
• Installation of models with decorative ducts - extrac
-
tor hood
Make sure the electrical power supply is within the measure-
ments of the decorative connector.
Connect flange
F
to the air exhaust hole using flexible hose
L
(Fig.7).
Adjust the width of the support bracket of the top connector
(Fig. 8). Then fix it to the ceiling so that it is on the same axis
as the hood using screws
A
and observing the distance from
the ceiling shown in (Fig. 8). Slide the top connector inside
the lower duct and place this on the body (Fig. 9).
Pull out the top duct as far as the bracket and secure it using
screws
B
(Fig. 8).
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a filtering
version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the
installation instructions.
• Filter hood:
Please note:
- In order to transform the hood from
EXTRACTOR HOOD
into
FILTER HOOD
the active carbon filters must be ordered
at your distributor as accessory.
We have two different types of Kit, one with non-regenerable
active carbon filters (Fig.10B) and the other one with regener-
able active charcoal filters (washable) (Fig.10C).
Depending on the model one owns, the
CIRCULAR
active
carbon filters must be applied to the suction unit located
inside the hood, centring them and rotating them by 90
degrees until they snap into place (Fig.10B), to replace them
perform the operation in reverse order.
- For the
WASHABLE CIRCULAR
regenerable active carbon
filters (Fig.10C), remove the pad and follow the instructions in
the USE AND MAINTENANCE paragraph, "regenerable active
carbon filters".
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 main-
tenance; 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 clogging
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 is 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
