Installation

Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the hood
should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
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 43cm from electric cookers
and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.

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.
Mounting
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.
The diameter of the ventilation duct must be the same as the
that of the flange mounted on the ventilation hole on the hood.
To mount the hood proceed as follows:
- Position the drilling template inside the left cupboard on
the right hand side with the arrow point towards the back
on the cupboard.
- Drill the holes marked on the template.
- Repeat the procedure for the right hand cupboard
- If the sides of the cupboards are 18 mm thick, insert 4
spacers Z on the sides of the hood.
- Fix the hood to the cupboard using four screws N. Fig. 8
