4. Insert the cooker hood in the wall cabinet, ensuring to
position the cooker hood bracket E above the wall
cabinet bracket D (Fig. 5).
Thread the electric cable through the appropriate perforation.
5. Block the cooker hood with two screws on the frontal part
(Fig. 5 – one per side).
Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in
this manual. All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences,
damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions
in this manual, is declined.
Installation
6. Connect the cable to the electrical mains, only when the
installation is completed.
The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of
50 cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 65cm
for gas or mixed cookers.
7. If the cooker hood should not touch perfectly with the
lower border of the wall cabinet then regulate by
loosening the screws P of the brackets E mounted on
the cooker hood (Fig. 2), it will be possible to regulate
the perfect matching of the cooker hood and wall cabinet,
once regulated tighten the screws.
8. Regulate the gliding of the extractable drawer in relation
to the depth of the wall cabinet by acting on the two skirting
boards F (Fig. 6).
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B (Fig. 2) for
discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version –
exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to
the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an
activated carbon filter (in the case of the model with two suction
motors then two active carbon filters are required), a discharge tube,
for the expulsion of fumes, should be mounted on the connection ring
C (Fig. 7) situated on the top of the wall cabinet (discharge tube and
fixing brackets are not supplied).
In this way it will be possible to place the front in line with
the wall cabinet (Fig. 6).
a. Loosen the screws on the skirting board F;
b. Move the ledges backwards or forwards depending on
requirement.
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and
must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
c. Lock in the screws on the ledges.
Preliminary information for installation of the hood:
Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the
home mains switch off.
9. Install a discharge tube on the connection ring C supplied,
preferably with a diameter equivalent to the connection
ring (Fig. 7). the discharge tube should be sufficiently
long to reach outside (Suction version) or the ceiling of
the wall cabinet (Filter version).
1. Fix the 2 brackets D (Fig. 1) to the side panel of the wall cabinet
(one per side) with 2 screws for each bracket (align the bracket
to lower border).
10. Fix the connection ring C (snap into place), at the upper
exit of the cooker hood.
Position the bracket to touch the back border of the wall
cabinet, considering that the back border of the bracket
corresponds to the back side of the cooker hood;
If the cooker hood is provided with a spacer, in case of
use, move the bracket forward to the same thickness
as the spacer.
To ease the installation, the ring is equipped with an index G that
should correspond to the appropriate guide H placed on the
upper air exit.
11. Complete the installation of the discharge tube.
12. Reinstall, if envisaged, the carbon and the grease filter(s)
and connect the hood to the power network and check
its perfect functioning.
Drill a hole on the ceiling of the wall cabinet to pass the
discharge tube and the electrical cable (the quote
indicated in Fig. 1 does not include the eventual spacer).
2. Fix 2 brackets E (Fig. 2) to the sides of the cooker hood
(one per side).
Electrical connection
a. remove the extractable part of the cooker hood;
b. Remove the grease filter(s) and, if envisaged, the
carbon filter(s).
ttention, to be carried out only the first time the carbon
filter is removed!
To avoid damage during transport, the handle of the
carbon filter is blocked with a screw.
Remove the screw before dismantling every carbon
filter; the screw is not to be reused.
The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the
label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical plug,
where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with
local standards in force.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to
electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with
an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the
contacts.
c. fix the brackets with two screws P per bracket from
inside the cooker hood, affix them as more as possible
upwards (air exit side) and then serrate the screws.
3. Fix the aesthetic mask Q from the inside of the cooker
hood using two screws, (if supplied - Fig. 3 – the L tabs
present on the body of the cooker hood serve as further
fixing for the mask and should be visible once the mask
has been fitted) and then finally affix the spacer M with
three Clips from the external part of the cooker hood (if
supplied - Fig. 4).

Operation
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
Two carbon filters are required for cooker hoods with two motors and
one filter for cooker hoods with one motor.
Description of control panel and hood operation
The carbon filter should be replaced every 4 months in cases of
normal use, or more frequently for intensive use of the cooker hood.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Place the carbon filter in order to cover the protection grill for the
motor fan wheel, then turn the central handle of the filter
clockwise (Fig. 10).
To dismount the central handle of the filter turn the handle anti-
clockwise.
Attention, to be carried out only the first time the
carbon filter is removed!
To avoid damage during transport, the handle of the carbon
filter is blocked with a screw.

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched
on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during
cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating
cooking.
Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Firstly check that the lamps are well cooled prior to replacing
them.
Access the lamp housing area:
Cleaning
remove the lamp holder using a small screwdriver or similar
tool as a lever.
Thecookerhoodshouldbecleanedregularlyinternallyandexternally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Use only 40W max (E14) olive shape light bulbs.
Then close the lamp housing (snap lock).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker
hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.

Instructions for removing the glass (Fig. 12):
Caution
1. Remove the grease filter.
2. Lightly push the glass downwards and allow it slide forwards.
3. Remove the glass allowing it to rotate slightly.
After cleaning, follow the instructions in reverse to remount the glass.
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and
technical restrictions.
