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.

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.
Replacing the power cable
Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorised
service assistance centre or similar qualified person.
AIR VENT
(for the suction versions)
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to
the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause
a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
!
Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are
not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING ?
! Your hood is ready for use in the filtering version and can be installed in the
external exhausting version by removing the carbon filter and installing a
discharge tube (to be purchased) to connect the tube to the exterior.
! The telescopic chimney is available as an extra accessory kit.
The information for the installation of the telescopic chimney is already contained
in this manual.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a
special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°)
and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be
removed.
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.
