above the hotplate.
b - Connect the air outlet collar to the ducting
spigot A.
c - Connect the ducting spigot item A to the
outside using the 90x132 mm rectangular
pipe.
The installer should ensure that the ducting
material is available.
d - Remove the charcoal filters (see paragraph
3.3 2 part 2
a
).
3 - Recirculation fitting
(only installation type A/B)
a - When the hood is installed in the recircu-
lation mode, the air is recirculated into the
kitchen through the two venting grilles
located on either side of the lower U-shaped
chimney. The two grilles can be positioned
in either a lower or upper position as illu-
strated in fig. 8 and 9.
b - Lower position (fig. 8): fit the recirculation
spigot item R into the round outlet on top
of the canopy while pressing down on the
spigot until it snaps into position.
c - Upper position (fig. 9): fit the additional
spigot, item P, into the round outlet on top
of the canopy while pressing down on the
spigot until it snaps into position. Then fit
the recirculation spigot R into the top of
the spigot , item P, and install the charcoal
filters inside the canopy as instructed in
paragraph 3.3 2 part 2
a
).
Nota: The two venting grilles must not be
fitted into the chimney stack until the
chimney stack has been installed onto the
wall above the canopy.
4.5 - Fitting the telescopic chimney stack
1 - Installation type A/B (fig. 10)
a - To fit the upper section item S first expand
the chimney slightly to allow it to fit over
the wall brackets (item 2 fig. 1) and then
secure the upper section using the 4 screws
supplied.
b - The lower section item I of the chimney
stack should be fitted as above paying
attention to fit the lower part of the section
into the recess in the top of the canopy hood
(see close up 10).
2 - Installation type C (fig. 11)
To fit the lower section expand the chimney
slightly to allow it to fit over the wall brackets,
item 2 and then secure the lower section using
the 4 screws supplied.
ATTENTION: Should the U-shaped lower
chimney subsequently be removed. the two
fixing lugs which fit into the top of the canopy
must be unhooked, as illustrated in fig. 12.
3 - Once the chimney stack has been installed, fit
the two venting grilles into the apertures located
on either side of the lower chimney section.
The grilles are marked with two arrows and
should be fitted with one arrow pointing upwards
and the other toward the front.
When the hood is used in the recirculation mode
ensure that the grilles are properly secured to
the recirculation spigot item R, as illustrated in
fig. 13.

OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
It is most important that all the warnings
shown in paragraph 3 of the Installation
Instructions are strictly observed. Moreover,
pay special attention to the following war-
nings during the use and maintenance of the
cooker hood:
1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filter
should be cleaned or replaced as recommen-
ded by the manufacturer or more frequently
if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours
per day.
1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the
cooker hood never leave the burners of the
hob uncovered while the hood is in use or
when the pans have been removed. Switch
off the gas before removing the pan, or for
just short periods and never leave the hob
unattended.
1.3 - Always ensure that the flame is kept at the
correct intensity to prevent the flame from
licking round from the bottom of the pan;
this will save energy and will avoid a dan-
gerous concentration of heat.
1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for the removal of contaminated air and
odours during cooking.
1.5 - To replace the mains cable, please contact
your nearest After Sales Service.
2 - OPERATION
Control panel (fig. 14)
The cooker hood can be operated as follows:
SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumina-
tion;
SWITCH M = controls the power to the motor;
SWITCH V = controls the fan speed:
Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when
simmering or using only one pan;
the noise level is kept to the mini-
mun.
Position 2= medium speed, should be selected
for normal cooking. This speed of-
fers the best ratio between air capa-
city and noise level.
Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when
frying or cooking food with strong
odours, even for a long period.
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure
good performance and reliability, while exten-
ding the working life of the hood. Special atten-
tion should be paid to the grease filters and to
the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the
recirculation mode.
3.1 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
The metal grease filter should be cleaned every
two months with normal usage and can be
cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild
detergent or liquid soap.
2 - Replacement
The metal grease filter panels are easily re-
moved, one at a time, by applying slight inward
pressure to the actuators to release the securing
bolts (fig. 15). Care should be taken to support
the filter with one hand while releasing the
securing bolts with the other hand.
The filter panels should be refitted with bolt
side facing downwards.
3.2 - Thin synthetic filter
On certain models the metal grease filters are
replaced with a lower grille panel containing a
paper grease filter with saturation indicators.
1 - The paper filter visible through the perforated
metal grille cannot be washed and should be
replaced when the violet colour of the dots has
spread over the whole surface and, in any case,
not later than every 2 months. The manu-
facturer declines any liability for any injury
or damage caused as a result of not following
this instruction.
2 - Replacement
- To remove the filter for subsequent replace-
ment first open the metal grille panel (fig. 16a)
by pressing back on the two slide catches
towards the rear wall which will allow the grille
panel to open and hinge downward from the
rear.
- To remove the metal grille panel slide the ri-
ght hand edge forward until the hinge pin comes
away from the recess in the side casing as
illustrated in fig 16b.
- The filter is easily removed from the grille by
pushing the wire clips to one side and removing
as illustrated in fig. 16c.
- Replace the filter ensuring that the saturation
indicators face downwards.
- Replace the wire clips and metal grille panel
by reversing the operation ensuring that the lo-
wer grille is securely fastened to the casing.
ATTENTION - THERE COULD BE A POS-
SIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE FILTERS
ARE NOT REPLACED ACCORDING TO
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3.3 - Charcoal filters
1 - Functioning
In the recycling mode the charcoal filters absorb
smells and odours.
This hood is designed to be fitted with two
charcoal filters on both sides of the fan unit
(fig. 17).
The charcoal filter cannot be washed and should
be replaced at least every 4 months or more
frequently if the hood is used consistently.
2 - Replacement
To remove the charcoal filters place on hand on
one filter at a time and turn it toward the front
part. The charcoal filter can now be removed.
Always ensure to replace both filters at the same
time.
3.4 - Worktop illumination
A 15W fluorescent strip lamp or two 40W lamps
ensure the illumination of the worktop. To
replace the strip lamp or the lamps operate as
follows as illustrated in fig. 18:
Remove the lighting diffuser by unscrewing the
screw in the metal clip (item T) near the control
box. The glass diffuser is kept in position by
the retaining lugs (item Z). Pull the glass diffuser
slightly down as shown by arrow 2, then slide
the glass backwards as directed by arrow 3, until
the glass diffuser can be removed.
When changing the lamps or the fluorescent
strip lamp, an identical replacement must be
fitted to ensure the safe working of the cooker
hood.
To refit the glass diffuser, reverse the operation.
3.5 - Cleaning
The metal work, both inside and outside, should
be cleaned regularly by using a mild household
detergent or liquid soap.
Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaning
materials, especially when cleaning stainless
steel surfaces.
