WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
TECHNICAL SAFETY
Before installing the hood, check the integ-
rity and function of each part. Should
anomalies be noted, do not proceed with installa-
tion and contact the Dealer.
Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cos-
metic) defect has been detected. Put it back into
its original package and contact the dealer.
No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic)
defects once it has been installed.
During installation, always use personal protective
equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent
and proper conduct.
The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with
the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case
of installation on walls of a different material, assess
other installation options keeping in mind the type of
wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated on
spec sheets at the beginning of this manual).
Keep in mind that installations with different types of
fastening systems from those supplied, or which are
not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical
seal danger.
Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose
it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).
All set screws must be checked, and retightened
where necessary, before installation.
CAUTION: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire And Electric
Shock, Install This Rangehood Only With Remote
Blower Or Integral Blowers Manufactured by FAL-
MEC S.p.A. Models “Remote in-roof Blower”.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The installation has to be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and local
codes. Making sure the power is off before at-
tempting installation.
The electrical system to which the hood is
to be connected must be in accordance
with local standards and supplied with earthed
connection in compliance with safety regulations
in the country of use. It must also comply with lo-
cal standards regarding radio antistatic proper-
ties.
WARNING: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician in-
stall an outlet near the appliance.
