User manual FALMEC ASTRA INSTALLATION SHEET

[. . . ] Read the entire instruction booklet before performing any operations on the range hood. The range hood must only be used for the exhaust of cooking fumes in home kitchens. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any other use of the appliance. The maximum weight of any object placed above the hood, or hung to it (if possible) must not exceed 1, 5 kilos. [. . . ] The manufacturer declines all liability if the safety standards are not observed. In this version, the fumes and steam from the kitchen are conveyed outside through an exhaust duct. The exhaust conveyor that protrudes from the upper part of the range hood must be connected to a duct that carries the fumes and steam outside. In this version, the charcoal filters, if fitted, should be removed; to do this, see the instructions in point F. There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels, according to the standard. Deviation for Germany: When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10 E-5 bar). In this version, the air passes through charcoal filters for purification, and is then recirculated back into the kitchen. Check that the charcoal filters are fitted to the motor, and if not, install them as described in the instructions in point H. if the hood is of filtering type , remove the non-return valve fitted at the motor's outlet. For maximum efficiency, the third speed should be used when there are strong odours or a lot of steam, the second speed in normal conditions, and the first speed for keeping the air clean with minimum energy consumption. The range hood should be switched on when starting to cook, and left on until the odours disappear. Square halogen light Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the range hood, with the consequent risk of fire. These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending them. to remove and replace these filters , see the instructions in point H1. These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is purified by passing a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). The ouside of the range hhod should be cleaned using a damp cloth and neutral liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral soap using clean with a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use products that contain abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths specifically designed for cleaning steel. Using abrasive substances or rough cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. [. . . ] - Drill the holes, fit 2 ø8mm expansion joints and screw in the bar. - Adjust hood alignment with the relevant screws: The top screw (B) adjusts the distance from the wall. - To prevent the hood from detaching if pressure is exerted from beneath, secure it to the wall with the brackets supplied (fig. - When the extension is at the desired height, screw it onto the chimney with the screws supplied (V1); - Lock the chimney + extension onto the hood with 6 V2 screws.
