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, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located
in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole 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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical
Service.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
•
Remove the charcoal (*) 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.
•
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.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest
part of the range hood must be not less than 45cm from electric cookers and 50cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
