aIr VeNT
(for ducting versions)
!
Prepare the hole and the air vent duct (150 mm diameter).
!
Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
!
Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
!
Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
!
Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
!
The duct must be made of certified material.
!
Do not connect the hood to smoke exhaust ducts for the products of
combustion (boilers, fireplaces, stoves, etc).
!
For the air vents comply with the provisions laid down by the competent
authorities.
In addition, the air must not be evacuated through a hole in the wall
unless specifically intended for this purpose.
!
Fit air intakes in the room to prevent the hood from creating a negative
pressure in the room (which must not exceed 0.04 mbar); if the hood
is used at the same time as non-electrical equipment (gas-, oil- and
charcoal-fired stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be sucked in by the heat
source.
FIlTerING or dUcTING VerSIoN ?
The hood may be in filtering or in 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).
ducting version
The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside through an exhaust
duct (diameter 150 mm).
Filtering version
The hood purifies the air and recycles the clean air back into the room. For
this version, the following are required: 1 air baffle, 1 reducer, 1 charcoal
filter.
The upper flue air evacuation slots must be positioned at the top.

MalFUNcTIoNS
If something appears not to be working properly, do the following simple
checks before calling Technical Service:
• If the hood is not working:
Check that:
- The power has not been disconnected.
- A speed has been selected.
• If the hood performs inefficiently:
Check that:
- The motor speed selected is sufficient for the amount of smoke and
vapours released.
- The kitchen is sufficiently ventilated to allow air intake.
- The charcoal filter is not worn (hood in filtering version).
• If the hood has turned off during normal functioning:
Check that:
- The power has not been disconnected.
- the omnipolar disconnection device has not tripped.
