DESCRIPTION
The hood comes in a filtering or ducting version. With the filtering version (Fig. 1) the air and steam conveyed by the
hood are purified by the charcoal (or polyurethane) filters and recirculated in the room. With the ducting version (Fig.2)
the steam and kitchen smells are conveyed directly to the outside through a disposal duct fitted in the wall/ceiling. Therefore,
use of charcoal (or polyurethane) filters are not necessary.
INSTALLATION
To facilitate installation, remove the grille or the grease filters (depending on the model bought) and disassemble the
front door.
Door disassembly: open the door by pulling it forwards; operating on the inside of the hood remove the 2 screws D
as illustrated in Fig. 3. Hold the tab L down and remove the door from the guides.
Grille disassembly: open the door pulling it forwards and push the 2 plastic catches upwards (Fig. 4).
Grease filters disassembly: open the door pulling it forwards; in correspondence to the handle, push the catch upwards
and extract the filter (Fig. 5).
Essential requirements for assembly: – set up the electrical connection. – if your hood is to be installed in the ducting
version, prepare the air evacuation opening.
With the ducting version (only for the model shown in Fig. 4) the air can be evacuated through a wall or a ceiling vent.
If air evacuation is through a wall vent, position the flange (F) on the rear and the cap (T) on the top of the apparatus
(Fig.6); if air evacuation is through a ceiling vent, do the opposite.
Before installing the hood, the following operations must be carried out (only for the model shown in Fig. 5):
- Fig. 7: fit the flange to the hood using 2 screws (provided).
- Fig. 8: remove the polystyrene panel from inside the hood.
Assembling: check that the brackets L are mounted on the hood (Fig. 9); if not, fix them using 2 metrical screws
(V) with washers (all provided); also check that the 2 metric screws (M) are fitted. Bearing in mind that the distance between
the hood and the hob must be at least 65 cm, fix the 2 brackets S (provided) to the wall using the screws and screw anchors
provided – see Fig. 10. Hook the hood to the 2 brackets; for alignment with the wall or kitchen units, the hood may be
adjusted in height by turning the screws M, and in depth by turning the screws V (Fig. 10). Before tightening all the screws,
check the distance between the hood and the wall; if necessary, use the spacer provided.
Fitting the spacer: cut the spacer to the desired size; unhook the hood from the brackets and fit the spacer to the
back of the hood with the 3 screws provided (Fig. 11).
Hook the hood back onto the wall brackets and fully tighten the screws M and V (Fig. 10). Complete the fitting by
locking the hood to the wall units by means of the 4 screws C (Fig.12).
Fitting the wooden door: cut the wooden panel to the desired size and fit it to the hood door with the 4 screws (see
dimensions in Fig. 13).
Fitting the charcoal (or polyurethane) filters. If you chose the filtering version installation, check that the charcoal
filters are assembled; if they are not, assemble them as follows:
The filtering version hood is supplied with different charcoal filters according to the version:
Round charcoal filters (Fig.14T); to assemble them, hook them onto the motor and block them by making them rotate.
Polyurethane panel filters (Fig.15P); to assemble them, place them inside the grid fixing them with the supplied metal
retainers (Fig.15Q).
For the ducting version use a flexible tube to connect the hood flange to the air evacuation opening (prepared in
advance). For the filtering version use a flexible tube to connect the hood flange to the top of the wall unit.
When the installation has been completed, remount the front door and make the electrical connection.
OPERATION
For all versions the motor is operated automatically by opening and closing the front door.
Open: Hood operates – Closed: Hood does not operate.
Controls (Fig. 16):
A) ON/OFF - lamps. This button is also used for the alarm function of the anti-grease and charcoal filters.
Filter alarm: After 30h of motor operation, the L1 RED LED comes ON and remains ON for 30" (the grease filters
have to be cleaned). After 120h of motor operation, the L1 RED LED comes ON and flashes for 30" (the charcoal
filters have to be changed if the hood is so equipped). The Filter Alarm is ONLY given with the motor is OFF. The Filter
Alarm is cancelled (HOUR meter reset) by holding down button A for 2".
B) Press button B to start the motor at Speed 1. The speed is shown by the L1 GREEN LED coming ON. When held
down for 2", the motor switches off. A single pressure on the button when the LED is ON activates the timer function
(motor ON for 5'), shown by the flashing LED. To cancel the timer function, press the button again ONCE. C) Press
button C to start the motor at Speed 2. The speed is shown by the L2 GREEN LED coming ON.
A single pressure on the button when the led is on activates the timer function (motor on for 5'), shown by the flashing
led. To cancel the timer function, press the button again ONCE.
D) Press button D to start the motor at Speed 3. The speed is shown by the L3 GREEN LED coming ON. A single
pressure on the button when the led is on activates the timer function (motor on for 5'), shown by the flashing led.
