Connect the device to a mains electricity socket of suitable capacity. Follow the instructions on the
“Warnings” sheet.
Install the device: you can attach the hood to the wall or wall unit in your kitchen. IMPORTANT: the
distance between the hob and the base of the hood must be an absolute minimum of 650 mm.
Wall mounting:
use upper opening A for discharging air via the wall unit, make a hole in the wall unit of
133 mm in diameter (Fig. 8) before attaching the hood to the wall. In any case, check the position of the
socket and take the power cord into account (a hole may be required in the wall unit through which to pass
the power cord).
Mark a line on the wall vertical with the hob. Mark on the wall the position of the 4 holes to be drilled, in
accordance with the measurements in Fig. 9; drill the holes and enter the 4 wall-plugs.
Take 2 screws (Fig. 10G) and insert them in the upper wall-plugs, but do not screw them right down.
Place the hood against the wall and attach it to the 2 screws; fully tighten the 2 screws from inside the hood.
Complete the mounting operation by inserting and fully tightening the other 2 “H” screws (Fig. 11).
Use a metal clamp to connect a flexible pipe to the hood’s flange. The pipe and clamps are not included in
supply. Connect to the mains electricity.
Installation under wall unit:
use upper opening A for discharging air via the wall unit, make a hole in the
wall unit of 133 mm in diameter (Fig. 8) before attaching the hood to the wall unit.
In any case, check the position of the socket and take the power cord into account (a hole may be required
in the wall unit through which to pass the power cord).
Drill 4 holes in the wall unit in accordance with the measurements in Fig. 12. Place the hood against the wall
unit and insert the 4 screws from inside the wall unit (the 4 screws are not included in supply). Connect a
flexible pipe to the hood’s flange with a metal clamp. The pipe and metal clamps are not included in supply.
Connect to the mains electricity.
Installation is now complete. We recommend that you:
• CHECK THE SUCTION-FILTER LEVER IS IN THE CORRECT POSITION: the lever is on the motor unit and must
be turned to symbol (P) on the suction model (Fig. 13).
• Remember also that the suction model does not require use of carbon filters; if they are fitted, remove
them in accordance with the model you have purchased:
- If the hood is fitted with round carbon filters (Fig. 14R), remove the carbon filters by turning them
clockwise.
- If the hood is fitted with a panel carbon filter (Fig. 15A), remove the carbon filter by first removing the
filter’s 2 “M” retainer clips (the 2 retainer clips are then re-fitted).
INSTALLATION OF THE FILTER MODEL:
Connect to a mains electricity socket of suitable capacity. Follow the instructions on the “Warnings”
sheet.
Opening A on the hood (Fig. 5) must not be closed as air is re-circulated into the room via the front
louvers.
Install the device: you can attach the hood to the wall or wall unit in your kitchen. IMPORTANT: the
