FALMEC Milano Genova 120, Installation Manual

Page: 8 / 24

The Flexi ducting is designed to ensure optimum performance for your rangehood.
Please follow the installation instructions carefully.
Every FALMEC rangehood must be ducted to the external or in-roof motor unit by the use of non-flammable ducting. The
rangehood must not be ducted into a wall cavity or a ceiling space where a build-up of grease can occur and become a
potential fire risk. Ensure the external outlet on the motor unit unit is not covered and the air flow is not restricted in any way as
this may result in reduced performance.
The duct must at all times have a cross sectional surface area equivalent to the hood outlet. The hood outlet has a circular
cross section of 200 mm in diameter or an approximate area of 31,400 mm². Do not reduce the duct size at any time and avoid
sharp bends. If the duct run is longer than five (5) metres, it may be necessary to enlarge the duct size to ensure optimum
performance. The manufacturer does not guarantee performance when the duct length is greater than five (5) metres.
THE RECOMMENDED DUCT

SERVICING
The installation and fitting of the external or in-roof motor should be done in such a way that will allow the unit to be
removed if service is required. Additional costs incurred in the removal, such as damage to walls and roofs, are not covered
under warranty.
The external and in-roof motors unit should be checked regularly to ensure that nothing is obstructing the air flow from the
housing. We also recommend a routine inspection of the remote units every 12 months to ensure optimum performance.
As part of ensuring the maximum life cycle of the remote motors it is advised to clean the baffle filters on the rangehood every
4 weeks. These filters are easily removable and dishwasher safe.
