Warning!  Power cable replacement must be undertaken  by the authorised 

service assistance centre or similar qualified person. 

AIR VENT 

(for the suction versions) 

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°).

not respected. 

FILTERING OR DUCTING ? 

!  Your hood is ready for use in the filtering version and can be installed in the 

external exhausting version by removing the carbon filter and installing a 

discharge tube (to be purchased) to connect the tube to the exterior.  

!  The telescopic chimney is available as an extra accessory kit. 

The information for the installation of the telescopic chimney is already contained 

in this manual.   

  Ducting version 

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a 

special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood. 

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. 

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. 

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) 

and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside. 

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be 

removed. 

  Filter version 

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual 

retailer.  

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it 

back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

Maintenance of the anti-grease filters 

Traps cooking grease particles.  

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication 

system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity)  

using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which 

must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. 

When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this 

does not affect its filtering capacity. 

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle. 

Maintenance of the charcoal filter 

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. 

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or when the filter 

saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – 

indicates this necessity)   using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a 

dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and 

leave dishes out). 

Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then put it in the oven for 10 

minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and 

when the cloth is damaged. 

•
