SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Installation operations are to be carried out by skilled and qualified installers in accordance with the instructions in this booklet and in compliance with the regulations in force.
DO NOT use the hood if the power supply cable or other components are damaged: disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply and contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Dealer for repairs. Do not modify the electrical, mechanical or functional structure of the equipment.
Do not personally try to carry out repairs or replacements. Interventions carried out by incompetent and unauthorised persons can cause serious damage to the unit or physical and personal harm, not covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty
WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
TECHNICAL SAFETY
Before installing the hood, check the integrity and function of each part. Should anomalies be noted, do not proceed with installation and contact the Dealer. Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cosmetic) defect has been detected. Put it back into its original package and contact the dealer. No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) defects once it has been installed.
During installation, always use personal protective equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent and proper conduct. The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case of installation on walls of a different material, assess other installation options keeping in mind the type of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated on page 2). Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those supplied, or which are not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical seal danger. Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).
The electrical system to which the hood is to be connected must be in accordance with local standards and supplied with earthed connection in compliance with safety regulations in the country of use. It must also comply with European standards regarding radio antistatic properties.
These warnings have been drawn up for your personal safety and those of others. You are therefore kindly asked to read the booklet carefully in its entirety before using the or cleaning the equipment. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused directly, or indirectly, to persons, things and pets as a consequence of failing to comply with the safety warnings indicated in this booklet. It is imperative that this instructions booklet is kept together with the equipment for any future consultation.
The equipment is solely intended to be used to extract fumes generated from cooking food in non-professional domestic kitchens: any other use is improper. Improper use can cause damage to persons, things, pets and exempts the Manufacturer from any liability. The equipment can be used by children over the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental abilities, or with no experience or knowledge, as long as they do so under supervision or after having received relative instructions regarding safe use of the equipment and understanding of the dangers connected to it. Children are not to play with the equipment. Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be carried out by children without supervision
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch. Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet. Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the equipment is not being used. The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed 1.5 Kg. Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire. Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood. Do not prepare food over an open flame under the hood.
INSTALLATION
The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the hood.
(only intended for qualified personnel)
- Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply before carrying out any operations on the hood. Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not disconnected or cut: in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing Department. Refer to qualified personnel for electrical connections. Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law in force. Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check that:
- voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located inside the hood;
- the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the technical specifications located inside the hood);
- the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with temperatures exceeding 70 °C;
- the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in compliance with regulations in force;
- the socket used to connect the hood is within reach. In case of:
- devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ”standardised” one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earthing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to an adequate safety socket.
- fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions. Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in compliance with installation regulations.
In this version the fumes and vapours are discharged outside through the exhaust pipe. To this end, the hood outlet fitting must be connected via a pipe, to an external output. The outlet pipe must have:
- a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting.
- a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent condensation from flowing back into the motor.
- the minimum required number of bends.
- the minimum required length to avoid vibrations and reduce the suction performance of the hood. You are required to insulate the pipes if it passes through cold environments. In the presence of motors with 800m3/h or higher, a check valve is present to prevent external air flowing back.
In this model, air passes through the carbon and zeolite filters (optional) to be purified and is then recycled into the environment. Germany: when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).

OPERATION
WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct fumes and vapours towards the suction surface. After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set auto switch-off function which will allow the hood to turn off automatically after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
1st speed: maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity consumption.
2nd speed: normal conditions of use.
3rd speed: presence of strong odours and vapours.
4th speed: rapid disposal of odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation. For further details see the “MAINTENANCE” chap

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch. Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time. Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters : frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is accumulated.
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once every 15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them. To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using “Magic Steel” wipes. Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be cleaned using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much moisture or water around the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reaching electronic parts. The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or non-abrasive detergents using a soft cloth. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these instructions. CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents. For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph. METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them. Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents. Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low-temperature washes (55°C max.). To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions CARBON AND ZEOLITE FILTERS (OPTIONAL) KACL.961
In normal use conditions, we recommend regenerating the zeolite-carbon filter every 18 months and replacing it after 3 years. Simply place it in a domestic oven at a temperature of 200°C for approximately 1 hour to regenerate it. Wait until the filter cools before reassembling it.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED lighting with extremely long duration under normal use conditions. In case of failure, contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Department for repairs DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE The crossed-out trash or refuse bin symbol on the appliance means that the product is WEEE, i.e. “Waste electrical and electronic equipment”, accordingly it must not be disposed of with regular unsorted waste (i.e. with ”mixed household waste”), but it must be disposed of separately so that it can undergo specific processing for its re-use, or a specific treatment, to remove and safely dispose of any substances that may be harmful to the environment and remove the raw materials that can be recycled. Proper disposal of these products contributes to saving valuable resources and avoid potential negative effects on personal health and the environment, which may be caused by inappropriate disposal of waste. You are kindly asked to contact your local authorities for further information regarding the designated waste collection points nearest to you.
