GB INSTRUCTION ON MOUNTING AND USE
Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in
this manual. Merloni does not accept responsability for any
damage caused through non complying with the instructions in
this manual.
Operation
The cooker hood is provided with a key or pushbutton control
panel situated of the frontal part of the cooker hood, depending
on the basis of the cooker hood type in possession. For
proper operation consult the text below and the relative
illustration:
a. ON/OFF lighting
b. OFF motors/Valve
c. - d. - e. Minimum suction power/ON Valve (c.), medium
(d.), maximum (e.).
f. Operation warning light (where present).
Installation
The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of
60 cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 70cm
for gas or mixed cookers. The hood can be installed above
these heights but for optimum performance it should be
installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat
source.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves unless
the chimney flue can be easily removed, in case maintenance
is ever required.

Use
c
The cooker hood is provided with an upper air exit B for
discharging fumes externally for models including chimney
flue C (see designs) (Suction Version A- exhaust pipe 13A
not supplied).
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction
is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave
in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
In the instance where it is not possible to discharge cooking
fumes and vapours externally even if utilising the model with
chimney flue C, the cooker hood may be used in the filter
version F by mounting two active carbon filters E, the fumes
and vapours are then recycled via the upper grill
G
(depending on the model the grill may be directly placed on
the chimney flue or via the mounting of two small grills – 16F).
If in possession of a model with grill placed on chimney flue
then two H extensions must be placed on the deflector 13F.

Electrical connection
The supply voltage must correspond to the voltage label
inside the cooker hood.

and try once more before contacting the Technical Assistance
Service.
Replacing lightbulbs
Remove the anti-grease filter support grill or the anti-grease
filter to attain access to the lightbulb area. Remove the
damaged lightbulb and replace with an incandescent oval
bulb max. 40W E14.
If the cooker-hood comes with a halogen light, take off its
protection by unscrewing (Z1) or by removing it (Z2 lifting
with a small flat edged screwdriver). Remove the damaged
bulb and substitute it with a max 20W halogen bulb (G4).
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker
hood is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Cleaning
Caution
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and
externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire
risks. Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with
the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly
fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same
channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered
by other than electricity. The environment must always be
adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other
appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the

same time.
Flambé cooking with
a
cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters
and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking
must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close
control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry
out fumes discharging in accordance with the regulations in
force by local laws for safety and technical restrictions.
Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring
appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident
through the grill openings.
Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once
a month and replaced every 5 to 6 washes.
Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non
abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low
temperature and short cycle.
To obtain access to the grease filter J open the grill K via
the hooks L and free the grill from the stoppers M.
Some models are provided with a metal filter N without
support grill, this filter should be washed as instructions
noted for metallic filter above and is removed from its placing
by pushing the handles O towards the back and sliding the
filter N downwards.
When washed in
a
dish-washer, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
