The hood is supplied with all the accessories necessary for its installation. The minimum distance between the lower surface of the hood and the hob must be at least 650mm for electric hobs (Fig. 1). If the motor inlet is equipped with a non-return valve for fumes, make sure it can open and close freely.
For easy installation it is recommended to follow the procedures described below:
N.B.: Fixing systems a) and b) fit on to the back of the hood in the holes L1 (Fig. 5).
AIR CONNECTION SYSTEMS:
EXTRACTION version:
Connect the fume expulsion duct (inside diameter Ø 150 mm) to the exhaust of the motor inlet.
The expulsion duct must not have a diameter Ø of less than 120 mm.
Note that if the hood is supplied with an active carbon filter, this must be removed
Deviation for Germany:
When the hood and other appliances powered by energy other than electricity are simultaneously ON, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
FILTER version:
Leave the motor inlet free. Install the active carbon filters.
If the hood is not supplied with an active carbon filter you must buy it separately at your nearest authorised Smeg dealer.
For some models there is a standard set of fittings (fig.6) to be fixed to the wall by expansion plugs at a suitable height in order to channel the airflow in correspondence with the flue slits. Insert laterally the extensions R2 on the fitting R1. Connect the fitting R1 at the outlet of the hood body by means of a tube of diameter D.150mm.
For an optimal and efficient use of the product it is advisable to start the hood a few minutes before you start cooking and to keep it on for at least 15min after you have finished cooking or until steam and odours have completely disappeared. To start the hood, identify the command type of the hood and then follow the relative indications:
SLIDER:
Motor OFF
ON/Speed selection
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PUSHBUTTON PANEL:
Lights ON/OFF key
Motor OFF key
Power key/hood speed selection
KNOBS:
Motor OFF position
Hood speed selection
Start timed intensive speed
Timed intensive speed:
The timed intensive function is that mode of service for which the hood, for a limited time, works at its maximum capacity. The timed intensive speed of the hood is activated by turning the knob (B) clockwise from position 3. Once the timed intensive speed is activated, the knob automatically turns to position 3. The intensive speed can be switched off by turning the control (B) counter-clockwise again. When the intensive speed timer has expired it returns to the third speed by default.

E | 24 H function Activates the motor at the first speed and allows extraction for 10 minutes every hour. | It displays 24 and the point at the bottom right flashes once a second, while the motor is in operation. Press the key to disable it. |
Holding the button down for about 5 seconds when all loads are off (Motor + Light), holding key "B" down during the animation, the Active Carbon Filters Alarm switches On / Off. | Displays a rotary animation for 5 seconds. "EF" flashes twice in activation. "EF" flashes once in deactivation. | |
F | Delay function You disable it by pressing the key or turning the motor off. | Displays the operating speed and the point on the lower right flashes. |
G | With the filter alarm in progress, pressing the key for about 3 seconds resets the alarm. | After the procedure, the signal previously displayed turns off: FF signals the need to wash the metallic grease filters. The alarm comes on after 100 hours of actual operation of the Hood. EF signals the need to replace the active carbon filters and the metallic grease filters must also be washed. The alarm comes on after 200 hours of actual operation of the Hood. |
H | Decreases the light intensity at each press of the Key in a cyclic manner. | |

L | Increases the light intensity at each press of the Key in a cyclic manner. |
Keyboard lock command: you can lock the keyboard, for example, to clean the glass surface, when the Hood has the motor and lights switched off. By pressing key D for about 5 seconds, you can enable or disable the keyboard lock which is always confirmed with:
"- -" Keyboard lock On.

The timed intensive function is that mode of service for which the hood, for a limited time, works at its maximum capacity.
Activating the function is displayed by the LED located under the key flashing. When the intensive speed timer has expired it returns to the third speed by default.
By pressing the OFF button , the 200h time can be reset. N.B. Accidentally pressing the OFF button before the 200h does not result in the filter being reset in the filter cleaning memory. It is good practice to clean the grease filters and replace the active carbon filters every 200h of operation.
N.B. In some countries, the 4-speed version is also available, with the layout shown on the right, where:
Filters Reset Key
Before performing any maintenance and/or cleaning always disconnect the hood from the power supply
Regular cleaning guarantees good operation and a long appliance service life. The grease filters and filter hoods with carbon filters require special care.
N.B. The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as affecting the performance of the extractor, can also create a fire hazard.
EXTERNAL CLEANING: The external and internal cleaning of the hood must be carried out using a damp cloth and mild liquid detergent. Completely avoid the use of solvents or abrasives. It is recommended to use specific products, following the instructions on the product. It is advisable to clean the hood by always rubbing the steel in the direction of the surface finish.
METAL FILTER CLEANING:
Particular attention should be paid to the metal grease filter panels. The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as affecting the performance of the extractor, can also create a fire hazard.
In order to minimise the risk of fire, the filters must be cleaned regularly, at least once a month or with greater frequency in the case of a particularly intensive use of the appliance.
After identifying your hood model, remove one filter at a time as shown in the next figure. Thoroughly wash filters with a mild detergent either by hand or in the dishwasher. Replace the filters, making sure that the handle is on the outside of the hood
REPLACING CARBON FILTERS: (Only for the filter version)
The carbon filters are capable of retaining odours until the carbon reaches saturation level. They cannot be washed and they are not renewable, therefore, it is recommended to replace them at least every six months or more often if the hood is used often.
Before starting operations make sure the electrical power supply to the hood is disconnected.
Access the active carbon filters by removing the metal filters as described above.
With the help of the figures, identify the carbon filters kit supplied with the hood.
In the case of the disc filter, simply tilt the two filters by 90° as shown in (fig. A) and then extract them from their housing.
In the case of a cartridge filter attached with springs, (fig. B) exert the pressure required to counteract the resistance of the spring and then remove the filter
In the case of a cartridge filter blocked with a bracket and threaded knob, (fig. C), unscrew the knob, remove the locking bracket and then remove the active carbon filter. Replace the carbon filters and the metal non-grease filters by performing the operations in inverse order
REPLACEMENT LAMPS:
Before performing any maintenance and/or cleaning always disconnect the hood from the power supply
Depending on the model, the hood can be equipped with different types of lighting, with LED or halogen lamps:
Code ILCOS: HSG/C/UB-20-12-G4
WEEE DISPOSAL:
Note: using the hood in filter mode can increase the level of noise perceived.
