Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
To switch from exhausting to filter operation, contact
your retailer or the manufacturer for the relevant
assembly kit.
Extraction version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by
means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring
located on top of the hood.
CAUTION !
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased
apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the
connection ring.
CAUTION !
If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be
removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller
dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance
and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum
elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
Installation
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, after
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or
if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation,
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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the
cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical
Service.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size
for the chosen installation area.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other
supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
them and keeping them.
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation
must be carried out by at least two persons.
