The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself, therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in case
of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker hood is moved to another installation plant.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data plate inside the unit match those available at the installation site. Any eventual
adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent people.
Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages.
For any repair or needed technical action make reference to a Technical Assistance Centre, which is authorized to carry out the replacement of the
spare parts. Always make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are disconnected when the appliance is not in use. By storms take
off the main switch of the house electrical system or if the device is equipped with a plug, simply unplug it from the mains socket
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or by any
illegitimate use.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy implies the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:
This equipment is not intended for people (children included) with reduced mental or motor capacities, with lack of experience or knowledge,
unless they are supervised or unless a person responsible for their security, gives them instructions regarding the use of the equipment. Children
must be supervised in order to be sure that they do not play with the equipment.
Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn’t been disconnected from the main power supply and if the main switch of the house electrical
system is not off or if the device is equipped with a plug, simply unplug it from the mains socket. If cleaning is not carried out according to these
instructions, a fire may break out.
Do not pull, take off or twist the cable coming out from the appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the main power supply.
Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and into the air discharge.
Do not take out the filters in order to reach the internal sides of the appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical system is not off.
Do not singe or flambé directly underneath the cooker hood. Take particular care when frying to ensure that the oil does not catch fire.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
It is forbidden to use the hood as a support surface unless it is expressly indicated.
Only use the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation.
USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation – Fig. 1A). Remove any activated carbon filters if present. Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue (not
provided with the hood) joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector. This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler or
burner exhaust pipes, etc.
The use of pipes and holes on the wall with a smaller diameter than the output of the motor will cause a decrease in suction performance and an
increase of the noise level.
Use as short as possible tubes and with few curves. Use pipes with smooth internal surfaces.
Filtering (inside recycling – Fig. 1F). The fumes pass through activated carbon filters (available as an accessory) to be purified and recycled into the
kitchen.
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood. The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooking hob and
the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 26in (65cm) with a gas hob. If the mounting instructions of the gas hob indicate a wider
distance, respect it.
It must not be superimposed on stoves with an upper radiating plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced by gas-fed equipment or fuel-fed equipment (this does not
apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used together with other gas or fuel equipment.
The hood placed above an induction hob can cause condensation, this is a normal phenomenon and not due to malfunctioning of the product.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the installation area.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation, which are suitable for most surfaces. Verify that the installation surface is
strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.
Before proceeding with the installation, turn the main switch of the system to "off".
Follow the hood assembly instructions indicated below:
MOD. BRAVO
After having traced and drilled the wall as in Fig.4, use the fixings necessary for installation:
A) Suspension and leveling blocks
B) Locking anchors
C) Wall fixing bracket and chimney screws
Connect the hood electrically.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1. Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be
disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation of the equipment.
2. By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing
a complete disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green
wire) must not be interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.
OPERATION
The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor. The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at higher speeds only when there
is a heavy build-up of fumes or odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated.
Hood controls operation (Fig. 3):
- TL button: illumination on and off.
- T1 button: switching on the hood, selecting the first speed, switching off the aspirator.
- T2-T3-T4 button: selection of the second, third and fourth speed of the aspirator.
The LED of the key in operation remains lit steadily.
To turn the aspirator off when you are not at the first speed, press T1 twice.
