It can be used either in the ducting version (evacuation of air to the outside) or in the filter version (internal recirculation of air). 2 - SAFETY WARNINGS 2. 1 - When used in the extraction mode the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric such as a central heating flue or water heating flue. [. . . ] If the base is not pre-drilled the hood must be correctly positioned and screwed into place from the inside outward, using 3. 5 x 16 mm screws. 3. 2 - Installation using quick-connection clips On request, and upon payment of an additional charge, the hood can be supplied complete with a spring-clip quick-connection system equipped with squares, fitted to the top of the hood body. If the hood is fitted with this system, a normal overhead unit with its base in the usual position can be used. Installation is performed as follows: measure the base of the overhead unit carefully to mark the opening required. The size of the opening for a hood measuring 600 mm are 535x258 mm (for a 90 cm hood they are 835x258 mm) and it is necessary to allow 15mm from the front edge of the overhead unit (front part without front panel). Once this opening has been cut, merely insert the hood. The springs and relative squares will hook the hood behind the base. When the screws are tightened, the hood is fixed into place. The holds for screws can be accessed by pulling the carriage out into the working position. They are situated on the side walls (fixed part of bottom panel). To dismantle the hood, turn the screws in an anti-clockwise direction until they lock. In this position the springs are bent inwards and the hood can easily be removed from the opening. Caution: before removing the hood, make sure you have disconnected it from the power supply. 3. 3 - Ducting or recirculation fitting 1 - Ducting fitting a - The hood must be ducted to the outside using either a rigid or a flexible pipe Ø 100 or 120 mm. , which must be fixed using suitable pipe clamps (not provided). b - Check whether or not the activated charcoal filters have been fitted inside the hood: in the ducting version these filters must not be fitted. 2 - Recirculation fitting a - The hood must be connected to the top of the overhead unit using either a rigid or a flexible pipe Ø 100 or 120 mm. b - Check that the activated charcoal filters have been fitted inside the hood. c - The filtered air is recirculated into the kitchen through the hold in the top of the overhead unit. is used, a directional grille (provided) can be fitted over the overhead unit, taking care that the flow of air is directed forwards. Front panel The front panel can be changed to blend in with adjacent kitchen units. To do this, first remove the glass or metal strip. The screws are positioned behind the strip, and can be removed with ease. Repeat the above operations in reverse order to fit a wooden front panel that blends in with the other kitchen units. 3. 4 - Electrical connection and working test Electrical connection can be provided as follows: 1 - If the hood has a plug, it can be connected directly to the nearest earthed power socket. [. . . ] CAUTION: always comply with the cleaning and maintenance times given above, to prevent any risk of fire due to filters that are saturated with grease. 2. 3 - Activated charcoal filter 1 - Function The activated charcoal filters absorb smells and odours until they reach saturation point. They cannot be washed or regenerated, and must be replaced at least every 4 months, or more frequently in case of particularly heavy use. 2 - Replacement: a - Open the ducting grille panel or remove the grease filter b - Replace the activated charcoal filters by turning the thumb screws in an anticlockwise direction to remove, and in a clockwise direction to replace. c - Close the ducting grille again, or replace the grease filter 2. 4 - Worktop illumination a - This is provided by two 40 W lamps, which can be accessed by removing the transparent cover b - If the lamps are not working, check that they are screwed in properly.
