Island

Drilling the Ceiling / Wooden Shelf

Use a plumb line to mark the centre of the hob on the ceiling/wooden shelf.
- Place the drilling template (Ref. 21) provided on the ceiling/wooden shelf, making sure that the template is in the correct position by lining up the axes of the template with those of the hob.
Mark the centres of the holes in the template.
Drill the holes at the points marked:

• For concrete ceilings, drill for plugs appropriate to the screw size.
• For hollow brick ceilings with wall thickness of 20mm : drill 10mm and immediately insert the wall plugs (Ref. 11) supplied.
• For wooden beam ceilings, drill according to the wood screws used.
• For wooden shelf, drill 7 mm .
• For the power supply cable feed, drill 0.10mm

• For the air outlet of ducted mode, drill according to the diameter of the external air exhaust duct connection.

• Insert 2 screws diagonally from each other with a 4 - 5mm gap from the ceiling/wooden shelf. Insert the remaining 2 screws ensuring the gap is maintained.

• For concrete ceilings, use the appropriate plugs for the screw size (not provided). For cavity ceiling with inner space, with wall thickness of approx. 20mm , use the screws (Ref. 12h), supplied.

• For wooden beam ceilings, use 4 wood screws (not provided).
• For wooden shelf, use the 4 screws (Ref. 12g) with the washers (Ref. 22) and the nuts (Ref. 23), provided.

WARNING

The ceiling must be flat, horizontal and be able to bear the load. The wall plugs must have a secure grip. The enclosed screws and wall plugs are suitable for solid brickwork or solid concrete. Suitable fasteners must be used for other structures (e.g. plasterboard, porous concrete, porous bricks).

Island

(fig.1)

Fixing the Frame

Should it be necessary to adjust the height of the frame, proceed as follows:

• Unfasten the metric screws joining the two opposite parts that can be seen from the front.
• Adjust the height of the frame as required, then replace the screws removed as above, making sure that you insert 2 of them close to the panel connector (fig. 1).
• Lift the frame, insert the slots onto the screws and slide them until they lock.
• Tighten the two screws and insert the other two screws provided.
  Take the telescopic chimney fixing bracket (Ref. 7.2), remove the film from the double sided adhesive and fix it inside the frame so as to hold it more firmly.

Before final locking of the screws it is possible to make small adjustments to the frame, making sure that the screws do not come out of the adjustment slot.

• The frame must be securely fastened both due to the weight of the appliance and the stress caused by occasional sideways pressure when in position. When fastened, check that the base is stable even when the frame is subjected to bending.
  In all cases where the ceiling is not sufficiently strong at the point of suspension, the installer must strengthen it with suitable plates and counterplates, anchored to structurally sound elements.

Wall Mounted

Wall Drilling and Bracket Fixing - Wall Marking:

Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area in which the hood will be installed.
Draw a horizontal line at 650mm above the hob.
- Place the bracket (Ref. 7.2.1) on the wall as shown about 1 - 2mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
- Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
- Place another bracket (Ref. 7.2.1) on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
- Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the brackets.
- Mark a reference point as indicated at 112mm from the vertical reference line and 320mm above the horizontal reference line.
Repeat this operation on the other side.
- Drill 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
Insert the wall plugs (Ref. 11) in the holes.
Fix the lower bracket (Ref. 7.2.1) using the 2 screws (Ref. 12a) supplied.
Fix the upper bracket (Ref. 7.2.1) and the air outlet connection support (Ref. 7.3) together using the 2 screws (Ref.12a) supplied.
- Insert the 2 screws (Ref.12a) supplied in the hood body fixing holes, leaving a gap of 5 - 6mm between the wall and the head of the screw.

Wall Mounted

Mounting the Hood Body

Before attaching the hood body, tighten the two screws Vr located on the hood body mounting points.

■ Hook the hood body on to the screws (Ref.12a).
Fully tighten the support screws (Ref.12a).
Adjust the screws (Ref. Vr) to level the hood body.
If necessary, it is possible to fasten the appliance to the wall using more screws with wall plugs, which can be positioned from inside the hood canopy.

Island and Wall Mounted

Ducted Mode Air Exhaust System

When installing the ducted mode, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe 150 or 120~mm , the choice of which is left to the installer.

To install a 0.120mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange (Ref. 9) on the hood body outlet.
Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
Remove charcoal filters if present.

Island

Recirculation Mode Air Outlet

• Insert the connector extension (Ref. 14.1) into the side of the connector (Ref. 15).
• Insert the connector (Ref. 15) into the fixing bracket (Ref. 7.3) and fix it with a screw.
  Make sure that the outlet of the extension pieces (Ref. 14.1) is horizontally and vertically aligned with the chimney outlets.
• Connect the air outlet connector (Ref. 15) to the hood body outlet using either a flexible or rigid pipe 150mm , the choice of which is left to the installer.
  Insert charcoal filters (purchased separately).

Island

Application of Novastick Tape

Apply the Novastick tape (Ref. 16) to the front edge of the upper chimney from the top part down to the start of the lower chimney.

Island

Fitting the Panel and Fixing the Hood Canopy

Before fixing the hood canopy to the frame:

Remove the grease filters from the hood canopy;
Remove any charcoal filters.
Working from below, fix the hood canopy to the frame provided, using the 4 screws (Ref. 12f) provided.
Insert the rubber supports to the upper and lower part of the panel (Ref. 3) as shown.
- Slide the lower part of the panel to the base of the chimney ensuring the metal tabs are secure.

NOTE

Make sure that the power cable has been properly inserted into the control board unit socket located on the side of the fan.

Wall Mounted

Upper Chimney Assembly
