• Extracted air should not be led to a chimney intended for discharge of flue gases and combustion products
or a shaft serving for ventilation of rooms where fireplaces are situated.
• Any bend of the ventilation pipe should be ≥120°C.
• The room must be well ventilated during cooking.

When installing the appliance, follow these steps:
1. Remove all the packaging and marketing materials before first use.
2. Mark the required installation height 530 mm on the wall behind the cooker or the cooking plate (Fig. 4).
3. Draw a vertical line to mark the centre of the cooking plate (of the cooker).
4. Drill the holes at an appropriate height and attach the hood holder according to Fig. 5 (Step A).
5. If necessary, drill the holes for the hood holder lower (see Fig. 5), (Step B).
6. Make sure that the bracket is in the horizontal position in order to prevent grease (fat) from being accu-
mulated on one side after the hood has been hung (Fig. 6).
7. Hang the hood on the hood holder or the screws.
8. When the hood is hanged properly, remove the top glass cover and fat filter.
9. There are holes on the back side of the hood for fixing the hood to the wall. Mark the holes on the wall
for drilling. Marked points should correspond to the dimensions shown in Fig. 5 (Step C).
10. Take the hood off the holder or the screws and drill the holes where marked. Hang the hood on the
attached holder or the screws and mount it to the wall.
11. When the hood is hanged and mounted to the wall, place and secure the lower part of the chimney
cover as shown in Fig. 7.
12. Mark the points on the wall and drill the holes for mounting the lower chimney part holder as shown in
Fig. 5 (Step D).
13. Attach the flexible exhaust pipe to the exhaust opening. Use a reducer fitting 150/120 mm in diameter, if
required. Insert the second part of the flexible duct in the opening prepared in the wall.
14. Place the lower part as well as the upper part of the chimney on the hood hung (Fig. 9). Lift the upper
part up to the required height and mark holes on the wall for attachment of the upper chimney part
bracket. Subsequently remove the lower as well as the upper chimney part.
