Use 

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting 

or filter version 

. 

Installation 

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the 
cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the 
range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers 
and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers. 
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a 
greater distance, this must be adhered to. 
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating 
indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with 
a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current 
regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after 
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) 
or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after 
installation,  apply a double pole switch in accordance with 
standards which assures the complete disconnection of the 
mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in 
accordance with installation instructions. 

Warning!

 Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains 

supply and checking the efficient function, always check that 
the mains cable is correctly assembled. 
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable 
is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service. 

Operation 

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed 
selection control and a light switch to control cooking area 
lights. 
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.  

Maintenance 
ATTENTION! 

Before performing any maintenance operation, 

isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at 
the connector and removing the connector fuse.  
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and 
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket. 
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the 
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the 
fat filters) internally and externally.  Clean using the cloth 
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive 
products. 

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: 

Failure to carry out the basic cleaning 

recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the 
filters may cause fire risks.  
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. 
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to 
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate 
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety 
recommendations. 

Grease filter 
Fig. 11-27 
The grease filter

 must be cleaned once a month using non 

aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, 
which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.  
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour 
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. 

Charcoal filter (filter version only) 
Fig. 26 

Type 20 LONG LIFE - Washable activated charcoal filter 

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months 
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 
65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function 
and leave dishes out). 
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then 
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it 
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely. 
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is 
damaged. 

Type 15 - NON-washable activated charcoal filter 

The saturation of the 

charcoal filter

 occurs after more or less 

prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the 
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. 
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least 
every four mounths. 
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
