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.
Warning:
Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains
supply and checking the efficient function, always check that
the mains cable is correctly assembled.
Mounting
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.
Installation wall model
Fig. 5
The electric connection box must be assembled as shown in
Fig. a,b,c
.
1.
Drawing a line on the wall with a pencil up to the ceiling,
corresponding to the centre line, will make the installation
operations easier.
2.
Apply the perforation diagram to the wall: the vertical
centre line printed on the perforation diagram should
correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall. In
addition, the lower edge of the perforation diagram
corresponds to the lower edge of the hood.
3.
Make holes as indicated on the template, insert the wall
dowels and screw 2 screws into the upper holes, leaving
a space of about 1 cm between the head of the screw
and the wall.
Note:
Always make the holes indicated on the template.
The upper 2 are for hooking the hood up while the lower
holes (generally 1 central or more lateral) are for the
definitive and safety fixing.
4.
Apply flues support bracket
„G“
to the wall touching the
ceiling. Use the flues support bracket as a perforation
diagram (the small slot in the support must coincide with
the line previously drawn on the wall, if present), and
mark two holes with a pencil. Make the holes and insert 2
dowels.
5.
Fix the flues support bracket to the wall with 2 screws.
6.
Hang the hood to the two upper screws (see installation
phase
3
).
7.
Introduce and screw the screws (and washer(s)) up into
the hole(s) for the definitive fixing (
COMPULSORY!!
).
Then, having checked the setting of the hood, TIGHTEN
ALL THE upper and lower SCREWS.
Note:
the lower fixing points are visible removing the fats
filters and they are at the sides and/or at the centre of the
hood (after having removed the frame of the carbon filter,
if present, in the latter case).
In any case, we recommend using the lateral holes, when
available, to increase the stability of the hood.
8.
Connect a tube (tube and bands for fixing not supplied, to
be purchased) for discharging the fumes to the
connection ring placed over the aspiration motor unit.
The other end of the tube should be connected to a
device for expelling fumes on the outside of the hood in
the aspiration version. If you want to use the filtering
version, fix deflector
F
to flues support bracket
G
and
connect the other end of the tube to the connection ring
placed on deflector
F
.
9.
Connect the electricity.
10.
Apply the flues and fix them above with 2 screws (
10a
) to
flues support bracket
„G“
(
10b
).
11.
Slide the lower section of the flue down to cover the
aspiration set until inserting it completely into the
apposite housing over the hood. Remount the carbon
filter frame and the fat/s filter/s and check the perfect
functioning of the hood.
