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. All
responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or
fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this
manual, is declined.
Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of
fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not
provided).

Filter version

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and
vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter
version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F
on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled
through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe
connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring
mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and
75cm 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 electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on
the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical
plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in
conformity with local standards in force. Where an electrical
plug is not provided (for direct connection to electrical
network) or is not easily accessible, place a standards
approved bipolar switch that provide full disconnection under
overvoltage category III conditions, in accordance with the
wiring rules.
Attention: substituting the supply cable must be carried out
by the authorised technical assistance service.
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.
Assembling the deflector (Fig. 6 - 3 parts – only for filter
version):
The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws, the deflector
extension is adjustable and should correspond to the width of
the chimney flue support, to which it is then fixed.
Fig. 5-6-7
During electrical connection ensure the power supply is
disconnected at the domestic main switch.
1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as the final
height of the hood depends on this, and remember that
with installation completed the hood must be at least 50
cm above the cook-top for electric cookers and 75 cm for
gas or mixed cookers.
2. a. Fix the two sections of the structure using 8 screws.
b. If the hood is provided with extensions longer than the
minimum, fit the reinforcement bracket S to the frame,
using 4 screws.
3. Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the cook-top
(the center of the diagram must match the center of the
cook-top and the edges must be parallel to the sides of
the cook-top – the side of the diagram with the wording
FRONT corresponds to the control panel side). Prepare
the electrical connection.
4. Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs – 4 plugs for
fixture), screw the outer screws leaving a space of about
1 cm. between the screw head and the ceiling.
5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the
motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and
fixing brackets are not supplied).
6. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box
corresponds to the side of the control panel with hood
assembled.
7. Tighten the 4 screws.
8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free
holes for secure fixing.
9. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power
supply, only turn on the power supply upon completion of
assembly.
10. Hook the hood onto the truss, ensuring it fits properly – to
hook the hood onto the truss partially tighten 4 screws
(see also step 12).
