Take care when the rangehood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depends on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the rangehood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4×10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• Ensure that the range hood is cleaned frequently.

• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

• Do not flambé under the range hood.

• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the rangehood must be at least 65 cm.

• The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.

The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral

If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the rangehood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical network.

The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the rangehood must be at least 65 cm.

This appliance must be fitted to a cupboard or other suitable support. For fixing, use 4 screws suitable for the cupboard, using the holes indicated in the manual’s diagrams. When mounting, align the front of the rangehood to the door of the cupboard and regulate the L wall spacer through the screws marked P. The rear of the appliance must then align with the cupboard.

The appliance expels fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards in use and connect it to flange B as shown in the manual’s diagrams.

To transform the rangehood from the extraction version to the recirculating one, ask your supplier for an activated carbon filter. The filter is not washable or re-usable and must be substituted at least every 4 months. The filter must be fitted to the motor in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees until it is gripped securely. Remove the grill (G) to carry out this operation. The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard and connected to the ring B.

1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air should not exceed a length of three (3) metres.

2. For ducted installation, we recommend using galvanised or similar metal type flue pipe. PVC pipe is not recommended.

3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in efficiency of approximately 35%. Additional 90° degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.

4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturer’s specification.

5. We recommend carbon filters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be some loss of air movement when carbon filters are fitted.

• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking. It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours. The proper function of the rangehood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.

• The aluminium filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.

• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The carbon filters are not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the aluminium filters.

• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a cloth moistened with a non-abrasive liquid detergent.

• The rangehood lighting is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of the environment. Prolonged use of the lighting notably reduces the duration (life) of the bulb.

To prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the aluminium filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:

-Remove the aluminium filters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.

-Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

-The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.

The aluminum panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.

For incandescent tubular or candle halogen lamps, only use lamps of the same type and wattage installed on the device. For 12 volt 20 W Halogen lamps, follow these steps:

1. Remove the glass retaining ring and glass.

2. Replace the globe with another of the same type.

3. Replace the glass and retaining ring.

To replace a different type of halogen lamp, use a small blade to remove the metal surround holding the glass in place. The lamp can then be pulled outward from its socket.

Push-button A = On/off lights switch.

Push-button B = On/off cooker hood switch. The appliance switches on at speed level 1. If the cooker hood is on, depress the push-button for 2 sec. to switch off the cooker hood. If the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood off. Decreases the motor speed.

Display C = Indicates the motor speed level selected and activates the timer.

Push-button D = Switches on the cooker hood. Increases the motor speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed, the intensive function runs for 10 minutes, then the appliance goes back to work at the original speed. During this function, the display blinks.

Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for 15 minutes, after which they are switched off. The Timer is deactivated by re-pressing Key E. When the Timer is activated the decimal point must flash on the display. The Timer cannot be activated if the intensive speed is functioning.

The “clean air” function is activated by pressing key E for 2 seconds when the appliance is switched off. This switches the motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the first speed. During functioning, a rotary movement of the peripheral segments must be visualised on the display. When this time has passed the motor switches off and the fixed letter “C” must be visualised on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes for another 10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from the light keys to return to normal functioning. Press key E to deactivate the function.

When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter F (e.g. 1 and F), the anti-grease filters must be washed.

When display item C flashes, at a speed where it alternates with the letter A (e.g. 1 and A), the active carbon filters must be replaced or washed depending on the type of filter.

After the clean filter has been positioned correctly, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing button A for approximately 5 seconds, until the indication F or A shown on the display C stops flashing.

The key symbols are explained below:

A = Light switch

A1 = Off key

A2= On key

C = Speed control

C1 = Off key

C2 = FIRST SPEED key

C3 = SECOND SPEED key

C4 = THIRD SPEED key.
