Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the grease filters so that the hood is easier to handle (for the instructions see the paragraph ???Cleaning the grease filters??? in the chapter on ???Maintenance???).

Fixing to the wall

1)Draw a line on the wall along the vertical axis of the hob. Mark the 2 holes (A) to be made in the wall respecting the measurements indicated in the figure below.

2)Drill the holes (8 mm ??) and fit the 2 screw anchors (provided).

3)Fix the metal bracket (B) to the wall with 2 screws using the 2 holes drilled. Use the 2 triangles cut into the bracket to position it exactly along the vertical axis of the hood.

4)Then hook the hood onto the metal bracket.Adjust the horizontal position by moving the hood to the right or left as required to align it with the wall units. If the hood also needs to be adjusted in height, operate on the adjusting screws (C).

5)Once adjusted, finally fix the hood with a further 4 screws (D): Mark the 4 holes to be drilled on the wall, unhook the hood and drill the holes marked (8 mm diameter); then use the screw anchors and the screws provided for final fixing.

6) For the hoods in filtering version, fit the reducer (E).

Securing the decorative flue

1)Assemble the support bracket of the decorative flue and adjust the width with the 2 screws (F).

Then, using the screw anchors and the screws (G), secure it to the ceiling in such a way that it is in line with the hood.

2)For the filtering version, the air vent grilles (H) must be positioned at the top. For the ducting version, turn the upper flue upside down so that the air vent grilles are at the bottom.

!In case your appliance is not furnished with a non separating flexible cable and has no plug, or has not got any other device ensu-ring omnipolar disconnection from the elec-tricity main, with a contact opening distance of at least 3 mm, such separating device ensuring disconnection from the main must be included in the fixed installation.

!If your unit features a power lead and plug, position this so the plug is accessible.

!The following warning is valid in the United Kingdom only (in case your cable is not furnished with a plug). As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: ??? the wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black;

??? the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

letter L or coloured red. For hoods in insulation class 1 (mod.HS63X): ??? terminal of a three-pin plug. For hoods in insulation class 1 (Mod. HS73X- HS93X-HSD93I): ??? the wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol [ ], or coloured green or green and yellow.

Power cable

!Warning: The hood is fitted with a specially prepared cable (except for the hood model HS63X); if the cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a cable or special cable assembly, available at the manufacturer or its technical service.

Description

The hood may be in the filtering or ducting version. Decide from the outset which type is to be installed. For better efficiency, we recommend installing the hood in the ducting version (if possible).

Filtering version

The hood aspirates air from the kitchen impregnated with fumes and smells, purifies it through the grease filters and the charcoal filter, and then circulates clean air back into the room.

This version requires an air baffle (M) and a charcoal filter (P).

In order to maintain constant efficiency, the charcoal filter must periodically be replaced.

If the hood is not fitted with the charcoal filter, request one from the dealer.

M

P

Ducting version

GB

The hood aspirates air from the kitchen impregnated with fumes and smells, passes it through the grease filters and then expels it to the outside through an exhaust duct.

For this version the charcoal filter does not need to be used.

Maintenance

!Always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning or servicing operations on the appliance.

!To avoid possible risks of fire always comply with the indicated instructions when cleaning grease filters and when removing grease deposits from the appliance.

Careful maintenance will assure good functioning and good efficiency over time.

Cleaning the hood

Any fat deposits should be removed from the appliance periodically depending on amount of use (at least every 2 months). Avoid using abrasive or corrosive products. To clean painted appliances on the outside, use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and neutral detergent. To clean steel, copper or brass appliances on the outside, it is always best to use specific products, following the instructions on the products themselves. To clean the inside of the appliance, use a cloth (or brush) dipped in denatured ethyl alcohol.

Cleaning the grease filters

To remove the grease filters, push the catch near the handle towards the inside and pull the filter downwards.

Wash the filters by hand or in the dishwasher using a neutral detergent. If they are washed

in the dishwasher, any loss of colour will

not jeopardise functioning of the filters in any way.

Clean the grease filters every 2 months on average depending on how heavily the hood is used.

Replacing the charcoal filter

GB

If using the hood in the filtering version, the charcoal filter (P) will periodically have to be replaced.

First of all, remove the metal grease filters. Push the catch towards the inside and remove the charcoal filter from its seat.

Replace the charcoal filter with one of the same type by carrying out the operations in reverse order.

Replace the charcoal filter on average every 6 months depending on how heavily the hood is used.

Replacing the lamps

Pay particular ATTENTION when carrying out

this operation and remember to remove the voltage. After having removed the grease filters, remove the light fitting, operating manually from inside

the hood.

Apply light pressure to the mobile part

of the 2 retainers and release it from the outside.

Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a bulb of the same type.

Re-assemble the light fitting by pushing it into its seat from the outside.

Precautions and tips

04307518

General safety

GB

!The distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lower part of the hood must be at least 65 cm.

If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.

!The hoods in insulation class 2 (model HS63X) do not need to be connected to earth.

!The hoods in insulation class 1 (Mod. HS73X- HS93X-HSD93I): must be connected to earth. When making the electrical connections, check that the current socket has a ground connection.

!Avoid using materials which could cause spurts of flame (flamb??es) near the appliance.

!When frying, take particular care to prevent oil and grease from catching fire. Already used oil is especially dangerous in this respect.

!Do not use uncovered electric grates.

!Do not place excessive weights above the hood.

Disposal

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must

not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream.

Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out ???wheeled bin??? symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Air vent

Should you install the ducting version, prepare the air vent hole and duct.

In the Ducting version, to get optimal conditions the air venting pipe should: be as short as possible, have the lowest number of bends (max bende angle: 90??, be made of material approved by local authorities (according to the State), have its inner side as regular and smooth as possible.

It is moreover recommended to avoid drastic changes of pipe cross section (recommended diameter: 150 mm).

!The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct used to blow off smokes from appliances fed with an energy other than electricity (central heating systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).

!Comply with the official instructions provided by the competent authorities in merit when installing the disposal duct. In addition, exhaust air should not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless

the cavity is designed for that purpose.

!The room must be well aerated in case a hood and some other heat equipment fed with an energy other than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc) operate at the same time. In fact the ducting hood, disposing of air, could create a vacuum in the room. The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar.

This prevents the gas exhausted by the heat source from being intaken again. It is therefore advisable to ensure the room contains air taps able to ensure a steady flow of fresh air.
