carbon filters (on the basis of the model possessed). The
fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen through upper
grill H.
Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.

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 50cm 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.
This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.

Remove the grease filter/s and the carbon filter frame.
1. Adjust the extension of the support structure of the hood.
The final height of the hood depends on this adjustment.
Note: In some cases the upper section of the trellis is
fixed to the lower section with 1 or more screws. Check
and remove them temporarily to allow the adjustment of
the support structure.
2. Fix the two sections with a total of 16 screws (4 per
corner).
Apply 1 or 2 brackets as reinforcement for extensions
greater than the minimum (on the basis of what is
envisaged as equipment).
Note: 1 bracket can already be fixed to the trellis
temporarily with 2 screws during transport. Move it into
the desired position or complete fixing it with 6 additional
screws, as follows:
a. Slightly stretch the brackets to be fixed in order to be
able to apply them outside the structure.
b. Position the reinforcement bracket immediately above
the fixing point of the two sections of the structure and fix
with a total of 8 screws (2 per corner).
Fix the second reinforcement bracket, if supplied, in a
position midway between the first reinforcement bracket
and the upper side of the trellis and fix with 8 screws (2
per corner).
Note: check that there is no obstacle to an easy fixing of
the discharge tube (aspiration version) or the deflector
(filtering version) in positioning the reinforcement
bracket(s).
3. Hook the hood to the trellis and make sure that it is
perfectly hooked up. Screw the 16 screws up (4 per
corner) tightly to hook the hood to the trellis.
4. Apply the perforation diagram of the cooking top to the
ceiling vertically (the centre of the diagram must
correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides
must be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the side
of the diagram with the word FRONT corresponds to the
control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.
5. Make holes as indicated (6 holes for 6 wall dowels – 4
dowels for hooking), and screw 4 screws into the external
holes, leaving a space of about 1 cm between the head
of the screws and the ceiling.
6. Hook the trellis to the ceiling with 4 screws, see operation
4).
7. Screw the 4 screws up tightly.
8. Introduce and screw another 2 screws tightly into the
holes for fixing the safety elements remaining free.
9. Introduce a discharge tube inside the trellis and connect to
the connecting ring of the motor space (discharge tube
and bands not supplied). The discharge tube must be
long enough to reach the exterior (aspiration version) or
the deflector (filtering version).
10. Only for filtering version: mount deflector F onto the
trellis and fix it with 4 screws to the apposite bracket and
finally connect the discharge tube to the connection ring
placed on the deflector.
11. Connect the electricity to the domestic power. Power
must be supplied only after the installation has been
completed.
12. Put the nuts equipped with fixing hooks inside the
sections of the upper and lower flues in correspondence
with the rectangular slots. A total of 14 nuts should be
mounted.
13. Couple the two upper sections of the flue to cover the
trellis so that one of the slits present on the sections is
placed on the same side of the command panel and the
other on the opposite side.
Screw the two sections up with 8 screws (4 per side –
also see the plan diagram for coupling the two sections).
14. Fix the upper flue set to the trellis near the ceiling with
two screws (one per side).
15. Couple the two lower sections of the flue to cover the
