odours. Do not use co -
oker hood for other pur -
poses.
l
Connect the cooker
hood operating in
extraction mode to a
suitable ventilation duct
(do NOT connect the
cooker to smoke or flue
gas ducts, which are in
use). It requires installa -
tion of the air extraction
duct to the outside. The
duct length (typically
120 or 150mm in diame -
ter) should not exceed
4-5 m. The air exhaust
duct is also required for
telescopic and under
furniture cooker hoods
operating in air recircu -
lation mode.

Cooker hood operating
in air recirculation mode
requires the installation
of an activated charcoal
filter. In this case, instal -
ling an extractor duct is
not required, however it
is recommended to in -
stall an air guide vane.

Depending on the type,
the hood is designed to
be permanently atta -
ched to a vertical wall
over a gas or electric
stove (chimney and
universal hoods); on
the ceiling over a gas
or electric stove (island
hoods); on the vertical
built in furniture over
a gas or electric stove
(telescopic and built-in
hoods). Before instal -
ling, make sure that the
wall/ceiling structure is
strong enough to su -
spend the hood. Some
hoods are very heavy.
