Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
Ducting version
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet
B
for discharge of
fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not
provided).
Attention!
If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be
removed.
Filter version
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and
vapour to the outside, the hood 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).
Attention!
If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must
be ordered and mounted.
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and
65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating
indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with
a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current
regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-
current category III, in accordance with installation
instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the
mains supply and checking the efficient function, always
check that the mains cable is correctly assembled and that it
has NOT remained crushed inside the compartment of the
same during the installation stage.
Mounting
The hood is supplied in two versions: model for installation to
the wall and model for installation to the ceiling.
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
•
To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the
other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and
mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
•
Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also
relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
•
Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other
supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
them and keeping them.
•
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware
in it.
•
Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
•
In addition check whether near the installation area of the
hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)
an electric socket is available and it is possible to
connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only
suction version).
•
Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.
installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the
passage of the discharge tube).
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood 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 hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this
appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.
