1. SAFETY
INFORMATION
For your safety and
correct operation of the
appliance, read this manual
carefully before installation
and use. Always keep these
instructions with the
appliance even if you move
or sell it. Users must fully
know the operation and
safety features of the
appliance.
The wire connection has
to be done by specialized
technician.
• The manufacturer will not be
held liable for any damages
resulting from incorrect or
improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance
between the cooker top
and the extractor hood is
650 mm (some models
can be installed at a lower
height, please refer to the
paragraphs on working
dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for
installation of the gas hob
specify a greater distance,
this must be respected.
• Check that the mains voltage
corresponds to that indicated
on the rating plate fixed to
the inside of the hood.

must be incorporated in the
fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
• For Class I appliances,
check that the domestic
power supply guarantees
adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the
exhaust flue through a pipe
of minimum diameter 120
mm. The route of the flue
must be as short as possible.
• Regulations concerning the
discharge of air have to be
fulfilled.
• Do not connect the extractor
hood to exhaust ducts
carrying combustion fumes
(boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used
in conjunction with non-
electrical appliances (e.g.
gas burning appliances), a
sufficient degree of aeration
must be guaranteed in the
room in order to prevent the
backflow of exhaust gas.
When the cooker hood is
used in conjunction with
appliances supplied with
energy other than electric,
the negative pressure in the
room must not exceed 0,04
mbar to prevent fumes being
drawn back into the room by
the cooker hood.
• The air must not be
discharged into a flue that is
