INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel. • Electric Connection The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations. The connection to the mains is carried out as follows: BROWN = L line BLUE = N neutral • If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance between the same and the lower part of the hood must be at least 45 cm. If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source. • In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction 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 efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier. • Before starting to fix the hood, disconnect the anti-grease filter B (Fig.5) for easier appliance handling. Before this operation, perform the following steps depending on the model purchased: MODEL 1 Remove the 3 panels A as shown in Fig.4a. Pull handle B as shown in Fig.5. MODEL 2 Open panel C as shown in Fig.4b. Pull handle B as shown in Fig.5. • Wall fixing Mark the position of the lower side of the hood on the wall (Fig.2A). Maintain the minimum distance required from the hob as shown in Fig.2B. - Position the fixing template on the wall, making sure that the line coincides with the line previously made on the wall. - Mark the fixing holes and cut them into the material (Fig.3). - Fix the 2 top screws K and screw anchors (Fig.3), without tightening them completely. - Place the appliance against the wall, align it in horizontal position and tighten screws K (Fig.6). - Once the adjustment has been completed, fix the hood using the 2 screws C (Fig.7). - When carrying out the fixing operations, use only screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard etc.). - If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the appliance, make sure that they are suited to the type of wall to which the hood must be fixed. • Installation of models with decorative ducts Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing the protective film. (Fig. 8A) Make sure the electrical power supply is within the measurements of the decorative connector. Adjust the width of the support bracket of the top connector (Fig.8 C). Then fix it to the ceiling so that it is on the same axis as the hood using screws A (Fig.8 C) adhering to the distance from the ceiling shown in (Fig.8 B). Connect flange C to the air exhaust hole using flexible hose L (Fig.8 D). Slide the top duct into the bottom duct. Pull out the top duct as far as the bracket and fix it using screws F (Fig.8 C). • Filter hood 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. 10). 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 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. • Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside, using a cloth which has been ...
