GB

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 effi ciency of the 

product may be reduced and its operation may become 

noisier.

• Fixing to the wall

Drill the holes 

A1

 respecting the distances indicated 

(Fig.2). Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in 

horizontal position to the wall units. 

When the appliance has been adjusted, defi nitely fi x the 

hood using the screws 

A2

 (Fig.5). 

For the various installations use screws and screw 

anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, 

plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are 

provided with the product, check that they are suitable for 

the type of wall on which the hood is to be fi xed. 

• Fixing the decorative telescopic fl ue

Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when 

removing the protective fi lm. (Fig. 3). 

Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions 

of the decorative fl ue. If your appliance is to be installed in 

the ducting version or in the version with external motor, 

prepare the air exhaust opening. 

Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper fl ue 

(Fig.4). Then fi x it to the ceiling using the screws 

A

 (Fig.4) 

in such a way that it is in line with your hood and respecting 

the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2. 

Connect the fl ange 

C

 to the air exhaust hole using a 

connection pipe (Fig.5). 

Insert the upper fl ue into the lower fl ue and rest above 

the frame. Extract the upper fl ue up to the bracket and fi x 

it with the screws 

B

 (Fig.4). 

To transform the hood from a ducting version into a fi ltering 

version, ask your dealer for the charcoal fi lters and follow 

the installation instructions. 

• Filtering version

Install the hood and the two fl ues as described in the 

paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version. 

To assemble the fi ltering fl ue refer to the instructions 

contained in the kit.  If the kit is not provided, order it from 

your dealer as accessory. 

The fi lters 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 (fi g. 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 fi lter and the active 

carbon fi lter both require special attention.

• The anti-grease fi lter

 is used to trap any grease particles 

suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the 

time it takes for the fi lter to become saturated depends on 

the way in which the appliance is used).

- To prevent potential fi re hazards, the anti-grease fi lters 

should be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is 

possible to use the dishwasher for this task).

- After a few washes, the colour of the fi lters may change. 

This does not mean they have to be replaced.

If the replacement and washing instructions are not 

followed, the anti-grease filters may present a fire 

hazard.

• The active carbon fi lters

 are used to purify the air which 

is released back into the room. 

The fi lters are not washable or re-usable and must be 

replaced at least once every four months.

The active carbon fi lter saturation level depends on the 

frequency with which the appliance is used, the type of 

cooking performed and the regularity with which the anti-

grease fi lters are cleaned.

• Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside, 

using a cloth which has been dampened with denatured 

alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.

• The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during 

cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended 

use of the light reduces the average duration of the 

bulb.

• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig. 9).

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.
