suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the

air.

• 

 We recommend the use of an air exhaust pipe with a

diameter of 150. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used,

the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its

operation may become noisier

Please note:

Before installing the cooker hood, perform the following

steps as indicated in 

figure 4

:

1 

- Remove both the cooker hood body 

B 

and the glass

panel 

A 

from the packaging and place them horizontally

on a secure surface.

2 

- Take the glass panel 

A 

and position it above the cooker

hood body 

B

.

3 

- Fix the glass panel securely to the cooker hood body

using the 4

sleeves 

C 

and 4 screws 

D

 as indicated.

• 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, definitely fix 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 fixed.

• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue

Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when

removing the protective film. (Fig. 3A).

Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimen-

sions of the decorative flue. 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 flue

(Fig.3B).

Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws 

A

 (Fig.3) 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 flange 

C

 to the air exhaust hole using a

connection pipe (Fig.5). Insert the upper flue into the

lower flue. Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws

B

 provided (Fig.5), extract the upper flue up to the bracket

and fix it with the screws 

B

 (Fig.3B).

To transform the hood from a ducting version into a fil-

tering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and

follow the installation instructions.

• Filtering version

Install the hood and the two flues as described in the

paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version.

To assemble the filtering flue refer to the instructions

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

your dealer as accessory. 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.9).

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 used to trap any grease

particles suspended in the air, therefore is subject to

saturation (the time it takes for the filter to become

saturated depends on the way in which the appliance is

used).

- To prevent potential fire hazards, the anti-grease filters

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 filters may change.

This does not mean they have to be replaced.

If the replacement and washing instructions are not fol-

lowed, the anti-grease filters may present a fire hazard.

• The active carbon filters

 are used to purify the air

which is released back into the room. The filters are not

washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least once

every four months. The active carbon filter 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 filters 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. 6).

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.
