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.

 Installation

The following instruction should be followed to carry out

the correct installation of the cooker hood.

1) Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the

cupboard.

2) Choosing the version (extractor, fig. 1A, or filter, fig.

1B).

• Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet

This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or

inside another type of support structure.

The overall measurements of the cooker hood are given

in figure 2. Before proceeding with cooker hood

installation, remove grille 

D

 by pressing the two side

buttons 

A

, as shown in figure 3.

Fix the appliance in place using 4 screws 

B  

(not supplied)

which are suited to the type of cabinet.

After fixing the cooker hood to the lower part of the

cabinet, place grille 

D

 (fig. 3) back in the correct position.

During this procedure, make sure that grille 

D

 is fastened

properly.

• 

Extraction through an outside wall

The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall

or a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in

accordance with the standards in use (inflammable)  and

connect it to flange 

H

 (Fig 1A).

• 

Recirculation

To transform an extractor hood version into a filter hood

version, contact your appliance dealer and ask for active

charcoal filters.

The filters should be fitted to the extraction assembly

inside the hood, by centring them and rotating them 90

degrees, until they click into place (fig. 5).

To perform this operation, first remove grille 

D

 (fig. 3).

The air is released back into the room through air exhaust

piping which passes through the cabinet and is connected

to flange 

H

 (fig. 1B).

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).

The acrylic filter, which is found resting on the grille,

should be replaced when the text, visible through the

grille, changes colour and the ink spreads; the new filter

should be fitted in such a way that the text can be seen

through the grille from outside the cooker hood.

If the filters do not have any text on them, or if metal

filters or aluminium panel filters are used, they should

be washed every 2 months in order to prevent the risk of

fire. To wash the filters, proceed as follows:

- Remove the filter from the grille and wash it using a

solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving

the dirt to soften.

- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

The metal filters and/or aluminium panel are also

dishwasher safe. If the filters are made using aluminium,

or if an aluminium panel is used, after a few washes the

colour 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 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.

• 

Remove build-up from the fan and other surfaces of the

cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with

denatured alcohol or non-abrasive neutral liquid

detergent.

• 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 the acrylic or metal panels

To replace the acrylic or metal panels, first remove grille

D

 by pressing the two side buttons 

A

, as shown in figure

3. Remove the two filter clips

 B

 (fig. 4) and the acrylic or

metal panel 

C

.

To reassemble the part, simply perform the procedure in

reverse.
