and a drastic increase in noise. 

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.  

Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. 

Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum 
elbow angle: 90°). 

Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. 

Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside. 

The duct must be made of certified material. 

  

 Filter version

 

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be 
obtained from your usual retailer.  
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted 
air before sending it back into the room through the upper 
outlet grid. 
  
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting 
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device 
(not supplied). 
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral 
suction unit.  

 

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 

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. 

  

 

 

Operation 

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen 
vapours.  It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is 
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in 
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes 
approximately after terminating cooking.
