READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user. Read these instructions carefully before installing or using the range hood.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) listed on the data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent appliance damage.
Installation work and repairs should only be performed by a qualified technician under all applicable codes and standards. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dangerous.
In the event of a fault, please contact the Technical Service authorized to provide genuine parts. When contacting the Technical Service, please quote
the model and the serial number of your appliance. These are shown on the data plate.
Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while the appliance is not in use.
During thunderstorms switch-off the main switch of the house electrical system or if the device is equipped with a plug, simply unplug it.
Use this appliance only in the manner intended by the manufacturer and no other than exhausting cooking fumes 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.
Observe the following essential safety instructions during the use of any electrical appliance:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To prevent the risk of fire it is compulsory to disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning or servicing the hood;
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 outlet.
Do not take out the filters to reach the internal sides of the appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical system is not off.
Do not flambé or grill with an open flame beneath the hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the filters may ignite.
Pay particular attention while frying. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
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.
II USE
This range hood can be installed in ducted or non-ducted / recirculating mode of operation:
Ducted (external evacuation – Fig. 2A). Remove any charcoal filters if present. Kitchen smokes are vented to the outdoors through a flue (not provided
with the hood) joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, boiler, burner exhaust pipes, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork, 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
in the noise level.
Use as short as possible tubes and with few curves. Use pipes with smooth internal surfaces.
Non-ducted / recirculating (Fig. 2B). The cooking fumes pass through activated charcoal filters (available as an accessory) to be purified and recycled
into the kitchen.
III INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooktop and the bottom of the hood must be not less than 26in (65cm) with a gas hob. If
the mounting instructions of the gas hob indicate a larger distance, respect it. Do not install this hood over 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 recirculating hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hood is used together with other gas or fuel equipment.
The hood placed above an induction hob can cause condensation, this is a normal physical phenomenon and does not mean any malfunctioning of the
product.
For easy access, it is advisable to move any piece of 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. KEIRA
This range hood has been designed for installation on cabinets / kitchen furniture (Fig. 3.1 and 3.2). Trace and drill the cabinet as in Fig. 3.3. and 3.4. Fix
the hood using the 4 screws supplied (Fig. 3.5). This model can fit on different depths of cabinets. A spacer is supplies with the hood (Fig. 3.6), to be
mounted on the back of the hood, the spacer allows the installation of the hood in a further position. If the standard spacer (Fig. 3.6-A) is not covering
enough the depth between the hood and the wall, an additional bracket (Fig. 3.6-B) is supplied, switching the short and long side the spacer can cover all
positions. At the same time, the back of the cabinet must be fixed in its specific stop (Fig. 3.7). The front of the sliding flap must always be aligned with
the cabinet, adjusting the back of the hood. Electrically connect the hood.
IV 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. Using 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 data 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 trained professional to avoid any risk.
