CORRECT POSITIONING
The hood should be placed at a minimum distance of
65 cm for the wall-mounted models and 75 cm
for the island/roof models. It could be that Your
specific hob requires the range hood to be placed at a
greater distance: always refer to the manufacturer’s in-
structions handbook for further information.
The installation site must:
- be well ventilated and not exposed to weather condi-
tions;
- Have a temperature b16 e i +32 °C
(90°F) and an humidity below 60% (any variation from
the aforementioned values could accelerate the usual
decay time of the carbon filters decay or limit the overall
performance of the hood);
--comply with all the applicable regulation from the User’s
country in terms of indoor air quality, electrical system
security and work safety;
- be suitable for the preparation of food.
For correct installation, refer to the drawings on
page 16 to 26.
The equipment must be installed in a way that
ensures easy access to electric connections.
Do not use any electric wire or other electric devices
to extend the original power cord. Please inspect the
existing wall sockets or power cords of your kitchen and
place the hood accordingly;
The fastening kit (screws and plugs) supplied with
the hood can only be used on masonry wall. For
installation on other types of walls consider alter-
native fastening systems, taking into account the
strength
of the wall and the weight of the hood.
Do not place the equipment near flammable
materials or flammable substance containers
(e.g. partition walls, gas cylinders, etc.), to
avoid fire hazards.
All the installation operations, assembly, con-
nection to the electric power supply and extraor-
dinary maintenance must only be carried out by
qualified personnel, authorised by the Distributor
or Manufacturer, in accordance with the legal require-
ments of the country of installation and in com-
pliance with equipment and workplace safety
regulations.
The equipment must only be installed by respon-
sible and experienced adults, without physical
impairment and in perfect psychological and
physical condition.
During installation, anyone and any objects not
involved in the assembly operations must be kept
away from the area.
Before starting the assembly operations, make
sure that all the necessary tools are available
and in good working order.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The electric connection can only be carried
out by qualified personnel (electrician).The
cable and the internal hood cables must
not be replaced or modified.
Before connecting the equipment to the power
mains:
- read the safety instructions provided at the
beginning of this manual;
- make sure that the electric system installed complies
with
the local regulations of the country of installation;
- make sure that the electric system installed is suitable
for the characteristics of the equipment being installed
(see the details on the data plate).
Refer to chapter “How to read product label” on
page 27 for further information on the data plate.
The equipment is supplied with the power supply cable
already attached: connect a suitable plug for the load to
the cable (the plug must comply with current standards).
Remember the following:
- yellow- green cable: earth;
- blue cable: neutral;
- brown cable: phase.
Always install a circuit breaker for quick discon-
nection.The earth cable must be not interrupted
by the circuit breaker.
If the power cord is faulty, it should be replaced with
another one with identical features. To prevent all kinds of
risks, such replacement must be carried out by the Ma-
nufacturer, its technical support service, or in any case
by a similarly qualified individual. The Manufacturer is not
liable for any damage resulting from the use of unautho-
rized or aftermarket spares.
Before any interventions inside the hood, di-
sconnect the
electric power supply.
Avoid winding the cable on itself if too long. Make
sure that the cable is not in contact with liquids,
sharp or hot objects (temperatures exceeding
>70°C ), or corrosive substances.
