2 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

- The appliance must be unplugged during installation or when any repairs or maintenance work is being performed. - Ensure that the network voltage corresponds to the voltage noted on the identification plate located inside the hood. - If the electrical installation at your residence requires any changes in order to hook up your Appliance, call upon a professional electrician. - If the hood is being used in evacuation mode, do not connect the appliance to a combustion gas exhaust duct (boiler, chimney, etc.) or to a CMV (controlled mechanical ventilation) system. - Under no circumstances should the exhaust duct empty into the attic. - Install the hood at safe distance of at least 65 cm from an cooking hob. This appliance can be installed in either duction version or filtering version. The appliance is supplied in the filtering version, the charcoal filter is installed (Ref.AK716AE1 for the model DST61XD, Ref.AK719AE1 for the model DST91XD).

• USING THE DUCTING MODE If you posses an outlet to the exterior (fig. 1) Your hood can be connected to this outlet using a flue (Ø 150mm that is enamelled, in aluminium, flexible or made of inflammable material). Your cooker hood is a filtering version. All you need to do is to remove the charcoal filter first. fig. 1
• USING THE FILTERING MODE If you do not posses an oulet to the exterior (fig. 2) All of our appliances can be used in recycling mode. The air and steam taken up by the unit are purified with charcoal filter and returned to the environment through the aeration grids on the side of the telescopic flue. fig. 2

2 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

• ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS During installation and maintenance operations, the appliance must be unplugged from the electrical grid; fuses must be cut off or removed. The electrical connections are made before the appliance is installed in its housing. Ensure that - the electrical installation has sufficient voltage, - the electrical wires are in good condition, - the diameter of the wires complies with the installation requirements. Warning This appliance must be grounded. We cannot be held responsible for any accident resulting from an inexistent, defective or incorrect ground lead. In case your appliance is not furnished with a non separating flexible cable and has no plug, or has not got any other device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the electricity main, with a contact opening distance of at least 3mm, such separating device ensuring disconnection from the main must be included in the fixed installation. This appliance is delivered with a H05VVF power cord that has three-0.75mm2 conductors (neutral, phase and ground). It must be connected to the main power supply (which should be a 230-240V single phase current) via a CEI60083 standardised socket that should remain accessible after installation, in keeping with installation guidelines. If the power cable is damaged, call the after-sales service department in order to avoid danger. Warning If the electrical installation at your residence requires any changes in order to hook up your appliance, call upon a professional electrician. Warning If the hood displays any malfunctions, unplug the appliance or remove the fuse corresponding to the electrical socket where your appliance is plugged in.

2 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

• ASSEMBLING THE HOOD Warning The hood must be installed in compliance with all applicable regulations concerning the ventilation of premises. In France these regulations are described in DTU 61.1 from the CSTB. In particular, the evacuated air should never be conveyed to a duct used to evacuate smoke from appliances that use gas or other combustible fuels. Unused ducts may only be used after approval from a competent specialist. The distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lower part of the hood must be at least 650 mm. If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. fig. 3 - Fixing to the wall: Draw a line on the wall in vertical line with your hob. Mark the first 4 holes to be drilled in the wall, respecting the distances indicated in Fig. 3. Drill the 4 holes and fit the screw anchors provided. Apply the supplied brackets to the wall using the relative screws and screw anchors (Fig. 4). Before installing the hood, check that the bracket fixing screws A have been sufficiently slackened to allow the hood itself to be fitted in place. Now fit on the hood using the relative rectangular slots situated at the rear of the appliance. Since these coupling slots are dimensionally larger than the brackets, the horizontal position of the appliance can be adjusted by sliding to the right or left in order to align the equipment. The appliance can be regulated in height by means of the relative bracket adjuster screws B. Once having regulated the equipment, fix everything in place by tightening screws A and inserting screws C.

• Ducting mode - Using the supplied screws and screw anchors, fix the upper flue bearing bracket to the ceiling and/ or wall, checking that it is aligned with the hood (Fig.5). - Connect the air outlet pipe to the air vent of the hood; use a flexible pipe and lock it to the air vent of the hood with a metal hose clamp - Fig. 6 (pipe and clamp are not provided). - For ducting hoods, turn the upper flue over so that the air exhaust grid is in the lower section (Fig. 7). - Plug in the hood. - Fix the flue to the bracket by the screws provided (Fig. 8A). - Fix bottom side of the flue to the hood by the screws provided. Screws must be worked from the inside of appliance (Fig. 9A). fig. 5 fig. 6 fig. 7 fig. 8 Warning This is the filtering version of your cooker hood; you must first remove the charcoal filter. Tip For optimal use of your appliance, we recommend that you connect the hood to a 150 mm-diameter flue (not delivered with the appliance). Minimise the number of angles and bends and the lengths of the flue. In the event that the hood will be operated using out-door evacuation, you should ensure a sufficient inflow of fresh air to avoid a pressure deficiency in the room. Non-return valve In the case of installation with air evacuation to the outside, fitting the non-return valve prevents the wind from entering and the air from returning. Caution: Before fastening the air exhaust pipe to the motor, check that the non-return valve on the air vent can move freely. fig. 9
