USE and Maintenance

(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)

Makesuretheelectricalpowersupplyiswithinthemeasurements 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).

•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 dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.

•The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of the bulb.

•Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig. 9).

To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass panel C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.

Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

•Commands: (Fig.11)

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’, then the appliance go 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.

• Active carbon/grease filter saturation:

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