! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING?
! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in the suction version.
To use the hood in the filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.
Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished or must be bought separately.
Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may be installed on the hood. Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering version is present in this manual.
Ducting version
In this case, the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. The diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
If the hood is supplied with an active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Filter version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorized before being fed back into the room. In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
Maintenance of the anti-grease filters
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) 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 discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Maintenance of the charcoal filter
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter. In any case, it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs and fixing it to the hood by 90°.
Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology.
The LEDs guarantee optimum lighting, duration up to 10 times longer than the traditional lamps, and allow to save 90% electrical energy.
The lighting system cannot be replaced by the user, contact Customer Service in case of malfunction.
