• When drilling through a wall or the ceiling, pay attention not to damage electric
connections and/or pipes.
• The ventilation ducts must always discharge to the outside.
• Exhaust air must not be vented through a ue used for removal of fumes
produced by appliances burning gas or other fuels, but must have a separate
outlet. All national regulations governing extraction of fumes must be observed.
• If the hood is used together with other appliances operating on gas or other
fuels, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). For
this reason, make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
• The Manufacturer declines any liability for improper use or incorrect setting of
the controls.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to correct functioning and good

INSTALLATION
After unpacking the appliance, check for any transport damage. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your
nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any damage, only remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam packaging at
the time of installation.
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING:
this is a heavy product; the hood should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
The minimum distance between the support of the cooking pans on top of the cooker and the bottom of the hood must
not be less than 50 cm for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Before installation also check the
minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between cooker and hood, this distance must be
observed.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Make sure the power voltage specied on the appliance rating plate is the same as the mains voltage.
This information may be found on the inside of the hood, under the grease lter.
Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F 3 x 0,75 mm²) must be carried out by a qualied electrician. Contact an
authorized service centre.
If the hood is tted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an
accessible place after installation. If no plug is tted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the socket is not located in an
accessible place, install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable complete isolation from the mains in
case of category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with installation rules.
If the cable is not tted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:
Mains voltage
and frequency Wire connection
220-240V
50-60Hz
: yellow/green
N : blue
L : brown
AIR VENT (for the suction versions)
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection ange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction
performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING ?
! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version.
To use the hood in ltering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.
Check on the rst pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished or must be bought separately.
Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon ltering system may be installed on the hood.
Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to ltering version is present in this manual.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection
ring located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal lter, then it must be removed.
Filter version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional ltering based on activated charcoal.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of
the fat lters) internally and externally.
Clean using ONLY the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Warning! Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the lters
may cause re risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any re damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Perimeter aspiration panel
Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency as the ant-fats lter, using a cloth and not too
concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
Maintenance of the anti-grease lters
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the lter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease lter may discolour slightly, but this does not aect its ltering capacity.
To remove the grease lter, pull the spring release handle.
EN8
Maintenance of the charcoal lter
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal lter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease lter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths (or when the lter saturation indication
system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal lter may NOT be washed or
regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal lter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood rst, then on the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal lter by turning the knobs xing it to the hood by 90°.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as specied in the feature label or near the light lamp on the
hood.
LED lamps:
1. Disconnect the hood from the household power supply.
2. Wear gloves.
3. Remove the grease lters.
4. Remove the burnt-out lamp by unscrewing it from the lampholder and screw in a new one.
