Please refer to the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this
manual. All responsibility, for any damages or fires caused by not
complying with the instructions in this manual, are the responsibility
of the user.
The Rangehood must be placed at a minimum distance of 50 cm from
the cooking plane for electric cookers and 65cm for gas cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this has to be taken into account.
The Rangehood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of
fumes to the outside (Ducting version – exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).
If it is not possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the
outside, the Rangehood can be used in the filter version, fitting an
activated carbon filter and the deflector F on the support (bracket) G,
fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of
an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection
ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps
not provided).
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and
must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
Installation - Fig. 5-6-7
Preliminary information for installing the Rangehood
Assembling the deflector (Fig. 6 - 3 parts – only for filter
version):
The three parts should be fixed with two screws, the deflector
extension is adjustable and should correspond to the width of the
chimney flue support, to which it is then fixed.
During electrical connection ensure the power supply is disconnected
at the main switch.
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the Rangehood 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
Rangehood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
1. Adjust extension of the Rangehood support structure, as the final
height of the Rangehood depends on this, and remember that
with installation completed the Rangehood must be at least 50 cm
above the cook-top for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas
cookers.
2. a. Fix the two sections of the structure using eight screws.
b. If the hood is provided with extensions longer than the
minimum, fit the reinforcement bracket S to the frame, using four
screws.
3. Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the cook-top (the
center of the diagram must match the center of the cook-top and
the edges must be parallel to the sides of the cook-top – the side
of the diagram with the wording FRONT corresponds to the
control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.
4. Drill as shown (holes for wall plugs – plugs for fixture), screw the
outer screws leaving a space of about 1 cm between the screw
head and the ceiling.
5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the motor
compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and fixing brackets
are not supplied).
6. Hook the frame onto the screws (see step 4).
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box corresponds
to the side of the control panel with hood assembled.
7. Tighten the screws.
8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free holes for
secure fixing.
9. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power supply,
only turn on the power supply upon completion of assembly.
10. Hook the Rangehood onto the truss, ensuring it fits properly – to
hook the hood onto the truss partially tighten four screws (see
also step 12).
11. Secure the Rangehood to the truss using two screws; this will also
help center the two sections.
12. Tighten the four screws securing the truss to the hood.
13. For extractor versions (13A), connect the other end of the exhaust
pipe to the flue.
For filter versions (13F), fit deflector F to the truss and secure it
to the bracket supplied using four screws, then connect the
exhaust pipe to the connection ring located on the deflector.
14. Fit the nuts with fixing hooks supplied inside the top and bottom
sections of the flues at the rectangular slots. A total of 14 nuts
must be fitted.
15. Join the two top sections of the flue to cover the truss so that one
of the slots on the sections is situated on the same side of the
control panel and the other on the opposite side. Screw the two
sections together with eight screws and springs (four each side-
see the plan diagram for joining the two sections).
16. Fix the top flue assembly to the truss, near the ceiling, with two
screws (one each side).
17. Connect the sensor to the small plate on the front of the suction
group (A – the male and female connectors have an obligatory
access) and the lamps (C).
Connect the control panel to the small plate located on the front
of the suction group (B – the male and female connectors have
an obligatory access).
18. Join the two bottom sections of the flue covering the truss using
six screws and springs (three each side, see the plan diagram for
joining the two sections).
19. Insert the bottom section of the flue in its seat so that it completely
covers the motor compartment and electrical connection box,
then ensure it from inside the hood using two screws.
20. Apply the two tabs (supplied) to cover the fixing points of the
bottom flue (CAUTION! THE BOTTOM FLUE TABS ARE THE
NARROWER AND SHALLOWER ONES).
The wider and deeper tabs are those used for the top flue, and
must be cut to size.
21. Turn the mains power on again at the central electrical panel and
check for correct hood operation.
Electrical connection
The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the
label placed inside the Rangehood. Connect the electrical plug, where
provided, to an easily accessible outlet, conforming with local standards.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to
electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with an
aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the contacts.
