f) Drill the holes as follows:
- ceiling:
4 holes
Ø
10
mm for securing the upper frame
1 hole
Ø
10
mm to pass the mains cable
- buttress: 4 holes
Ø
8
mm for securing the upper frame
1 hole
Ø
10
mm to pass the mains cable.
g)
For extraction mode with ceiling vent only
Use the template provided to mark the ø 125 mm hole on the ceiling for ducting
when the range hood is to be installed in the extraction mode.
h)
Fitting the hood to the ceiling
Attention:
Due to the many differing types of ceiling construction, the choice of
fixings is left to the discretion of the installer. It is necessary to emphasise that the
fitting has to be
absolutely accurate
because of the
weight
of the cooker hood
and bacause of the
flexing
caused by accidental lateral stresses on the
appliance.
Only
the following types of ceiling are suitable for installing the island
cooker hood:
1 - Solid concrete ceiling: use dowels for concrete
(not supplied)
.
2 - Solid wooden buttress ceiling: use Ø 10 mm wood screws with a minimum
length of 120 mm
(not supplied)
.
3 - Cavity ceiling with inner empty space, having a thickness of about 20 mm:
use, in this case
, the four dowels and screws supplied. Once fixed, make sure
that the basis is absolutely stable even when the metal frame is subjected to
lateral stresses.
4 - If the ceiling is not strong enough in the area where the hood is to be fixed,
the installer must strengthen the area adequately so that it can withstand the
weight of the hood.
i)
When fitting the hood to a wooden buttress:
secure the frame to the base of
the buttress using the four M6 x 80 mm nuts and bolts provided.
4.2 - Fitting the lower telescopic frame “TI”
a) Turn the lower telescopic frame
“TI” (6C)
according to the chosen direction of
filtered air vent:
“6U”
or rotating the frame
“6C”
in the opposite direction.
b) Connect the lower frame
“TI” (6C)
to the upper frame
“TS” (6A)
and secure by
tightening the 4 screws
“6B”
using the socket head screw wrench provided
“6D”
,
adjusting the height from the hob and bearing in mind that the canopy item to be
fitted subsequently is 7 cm high. In any event, in this position, the lower part of the
frame must not be positioned at less than 72 cm from the underlying hob.
4.3 - Setting the hood for evacuation or recirculation
1 - Setting for evacuation:
a) Apply the reducing spigot
“7B”
to the upper part of the extraction unit
“7D”
.
b) Connect spigot
“7B”
to the external ducting by means of rigid or flexible duct
“7G”
(not provided) to be fixed using clamps
“7F”
provided.
c) Remove any charcoal filter in the lower part of the canopy (see paragr. 3.2 - part
two).
