WARNING: Check the paths followed by power cables etc. in the walls or ceiling to

When installing the hood, comply strictly with the minimum distances specified between the hob and the

The diameter of the air exhaust duct must match the diameter of the connecting ring. If a V-flap is used
or supplied, make sure it can open and close freely once the exhaust duct has been fitted. The cooker
hood can be equipped with top and rear extraction openings. The hood is factory supplied for extraction
type operation. Extraction openings that are not required are equipped with a plastic cover. The cover
can be easily removed by turning it counter-clockwise.
