! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

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.
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
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons. Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) 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.
• 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.
