hood and to make you familiar with its use.
Since these instructions cover more than one
type of hood within the same series, it may
be that reference is made to components that
do not form part of the hood that you are
installing. The hood should be used in the
exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen
vapours and odours out-door of the building.
Fittings can vary from country to country.
We reserve the right to modify the product
without any notice always with the aim of
improvements and in compliance with the
relevant norms.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE HOOD IN
EXHAUST POSITION
When an exhaust hood and a heat source
requiring ambient air (e.g. gas, oil, coal stoves,
etc.) are used at the same time, attention
is required because the air necessary for
combustion is exhausted from the room through
the hood and this creates depression. There is
no such danger when the maximum depression
in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no
exhaust gas from the heat source is piped.
To assure this condition, make opening in the
room which cannot be closed (doors, windows,
etc. are insufficient) and through which the air
necessary for combustion can freely flow.
Note : All the exhaust ductwork in the
apartment or house should be studied. In
case of doubts, get advice or authorization
from the person or agency responsible for
the building.
Note : The efficiency of the exhaust hood
decreases as the length of the ducts and
number of increase. When using the exhaust
version, follow these rules : Do not connect
the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and
air ducts serving the room. Before venting
into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in
use, ask for approval of person or agency
responsable for the building. The evacuated
air must not be let into a warm airduct. For
the evacuation of the exhausted air please
note official instructions.
INSTALLATION
Warning :
The discharge air is to be directed to
building exterior.
The hood must be mounted over the centre of
cooking area. The minimum distances between
the cooking area and the underside of the hood
are 650 mm (25”19/32).
Warning : If the room contains a flued
fuel burning appliance which is not of the
balance flue type make sure these is an
adeguate air inlet to the room at all times so
