Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the

cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the

range hood must be not less than 30cm from electric cookers

and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

It is possible to install the hood so that the distance between

the cooking top and the fats filter is not less than less than 65

cm in the case of gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a

greater distance, this must be adhered to.

You will notice a loss in capturing the fumes If the hood is

positioned at a distance greater than that recommended.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating

indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with

a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current

regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted

with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not

located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in

accordance with standards which assures the complete

disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-

current category III, in accordance with installation

instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains

supply and checking the efficient function, always check that

the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by

the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified

person.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for

the chosen installation area.

• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the

other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and

mount it.

To remove see also the relative paragraphs.

• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also

relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only

if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.

• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other

supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with

screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing

them and keeping them.

• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in

range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to

rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective

covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect

from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for

assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective

covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware

in it.

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the

hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)

an electric socket is available and it is possible to

connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only

suction version).

• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.

installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the

passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most

types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must

verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of

wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take

the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this

appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Only for some models

An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional accessory.

Check with the authorized dealer whether the model in your

possession envisages this possibility.

We advise installing the hood after having purchased the flue

to check with certainty the most suitable installation.

Fig. 5

• Apply three adhesive strips C to the back of the hood.

If necessary (in the case of walls not perfectly

perpendicular or in the presence of walls partly covered

with tiles) apply two D spacers in correspondence with

the definitive fixing holes (click fixing).

• Trace a centre line on the wall to facilitate the montage

(1), position the hole template so that the middle line

printed on it corresponds to the centre line previously

drawn and that the lower side of the grill corresponds to

the lower part of the hood once mounted (2).

• Make two holes with the 8 mm Ø drill and fix the support

bracket with two dowels and wall screws (3).

• Open the steam screen and remove the grease filter (see

relative paragraph).

• Hang up the hood (4), adjusting its position (5-6) and

from the inner part of the hood mark two points for the

definitive fixing (7). Remove the hood and make two 8

mm Ø holes (8), insert two wall dowels, hang the hood up

again and fix it definitively with two screws (9).

• Connect the electricity (10), but leave the hood

disconnected from the general electric panel of the

house.

• If the hood is to be used in the suction version, install the

flange supplied in the kit on the exit hole of the hood

(11A - suction version – also install a fumes discharge

tube of suitable dimensions) instead of the deflector (11F
