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 60cm 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 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
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 cooker hood may be installed on the wall or on the base
of a cabinet; if supplied, use the hole gauge H to drill the
correct distance, otherwise lean the cooker hood on the wall
or on the base of the cabinet and mark the holes with a pencil.
Wall mounting - Insert the wall screw anchors J in the drilled
holes and the two K screws in the upper drill holes, remove
the grill and hook the cooker hood to the 2 screws, finally from
the inside, insert the third screw L and lock them all in.
Cabinet fixing - Affix the cooker hood with the 4 M screws
from inside the cabinet.

Operation

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed
selection control and a light switch to control cooking area
lights.
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
