Mounting
Before installation:
• Make sure that the product is
of a suitable size for the area
in which it is to be installed.
• Remove the activated carbon
filter(s) if supplied (see also
relative section). This/these
should be reinstalled only if
you wish to use the hood in
the filter version.
• Make sure that (for transport
purposes) there are no other
items inside the hood (e.g.
packets of screws,
guarantees etc.), which
should be removed and kept.
• If possible, disconnect and
move any units below and
around the area of
installation of the hood (wall
or ceiling) in order to have
better access. Otherwise,
protect the furniture units
and all the parts involved in
the installation as much as
possible. Select a flat surface
on which to place the hood
and the supplied parts and
cover it with a protective
cover.
• Also make sure that there is
an electric socket available in
the area in which the hood is
to be installed (which can be
accessed even after the hood
has been installed) and that it
is possible to connect to a
device that discharges the
fumes to the outside (ducting
version only).
• Carry out all the masonry
work required (e.g.
installation of an electrical
socket and/or a hole for the
passage of duct).
The hood is supplied with expansion
plugs for fastening the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings. However, a
qualified technician should verify the
suitability of the materials for the
type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling
must be strong enough to support
the weight of the hood.
