Fig. 5-6
Attention!
If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be
removed.
Filter version
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and
vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the
filter
version
, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector
F
on the support (bracket)
G
, fumes and vapours are recycled
through the top grille
H
by means of an exhaust pipe
connected to the top air outlet
B
and the connection ring
mounted on the deflector
F
(exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).
Fig. 5-6
Attention!
If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must
be ordered and mounted.
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 45cm 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 electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on
the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical
plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in
conformity with local standards in force. Where an electrical
plug is not provided (
for direct connection to electrical
network
) or is not easily accessible, place a standards
approved bipolar switch that provide full disconnection under
overvoltage category III conditions, in accordance with the
wiring rules.
Attention:
substituting the supply cable must be carried out
by the authorised technical assistance service.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the
other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and
mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
•
Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also
relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• 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.
•
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware
in it.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
•
In addition check whether near the installation area of the
hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)
an electric socket is available and it is possible to
connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only
suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.
installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the
passage of the discharge tube).
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.
An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional accessory.
Check with the assistance centre whether the model in your
possession envisages this possibility.
We advise installing the hood after having purchased the flue
to check with certainty the most suitable installation.

Trace a central line on the wall in order to ease mounting
(

), position the hole template in a way that the middle
line printed on top corresponds to the central line marked
previously and the lower side of the mask corresponds to
the lower part of the hood once mounted.

• Make 3 holes Ø 8 mm with a drill and fix the support
bracket with two dowels and screws to the wall

insert
the third dowel into the lower hole.
