to the filters and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all 

circumstances.  Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that 

the oil does not overheat and ignite. Accessible parts of the hood may 

became hot when used with cooking appliance. With regards to the technical

Additional Installation Specifications: 

Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation.  Use the 
correct length screws which are identified in the Installation Guide  

WARNING! 

Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with 

these instructions may result in electrical hazards. 
 

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 65cm from electric cookers and 75cm 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. 
 

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

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)

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.
