Installation and connection
After unpacking the appliance, check for
any transport damage. In the event of
problems, contact the After-sales Service.
To prevent any damage, only remove
the appliance from its polystyrene foam
packaging at the time of installation.
Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the
hood should only be lifted and
installed by two or more people.
The minimum distance between the hob and
the bottom part of the hood must not be less
than 40 cm for burning gas or other fuels
and 40 cm for electric cookers.
Before installation also check the minimum
distances stated in the manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the cooker
specify a greater distance between cooker
and hood, this distance must be observed.
Electrical connection
Make sure the power voltage speci fi ed on
the appliance rating plate is the same as
the mains voltage.
This information can be found on the inside
of the hood, under the grease fi lter. Power
cable replacement (type H05 VV-F) must
be carried out by a quali fi ed electrician.
Contact an authorized service centre.
If the hood is fi tted with an electric plug,
connect the plug to a socket complying with
current regulations, located in an accessible
place.
If no plug is fi tted (direct wiring to the
mains), or if the socket is not located in an
accessible place, a quali fi ed electrician
should install a standardised double pole
power switch that will enable complete
isolation from the mains in case of category
III overvoltage conditions, in accordance
with wiring rules.
