GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside - Fig.1A).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

-Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

-If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.

-This device must be connected to the supply network through eiter a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected by 3A fuse.

Warning!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

A)Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.

B)Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.

C)Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.

D)Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.

E)Constantly check food frying to avoid that the over- heated oil may become a fire hazard.

F)Disconnecttheelectricalplugpriortoanymaintenance.

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 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 cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily acces- sible. 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 cooker hood must be at least 65 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 ex- haust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.

Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.7) so that the unit is easier to handle. -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.

•Fixing to the wall:

Drill the holes A respecting the distances indicated (Fig.2). Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal position to the wall units. When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix the hood using the screws A (Fig.5). For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.

• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue:

Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing the protective film (Fig.3).

Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of
