SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously
with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the
environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy,
as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment
which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative
pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe
operation of the cooker hood.Follow the local laws applicable
for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance)
to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by
specialised personnel.
• Electrical Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN =
L
line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated
on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the
cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily
accessible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of
3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and
local standards, must be placed between the appliance and
the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.
•
The minimum distance between the support surfaces of
the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of
the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube
composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed
outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same
conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes
from other appliances generated by other than an electrical
source. Before proceeding with the assembly operations,
remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.6) so that the unit is
easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
•
We recommend the use of an air exhaust pipe with a
diameter of 150. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the
efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation
may become noisier
•
If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations
supplied with acentralised suction device perform the
following operations:
- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using a
thermoelectical device.
By placing the switch in the
ON
position, after a minute, the
valve opens rotating 90° allowing suction of the stale air.
By placing the switch in the
OFF position, the valve closes
after 100 seconds.
