INSTALLATION

After unpacking the appliance, check for any transport damage. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any damage, only remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam packaging at the time of installation.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

WARNING:

this is a heavy product; the hood should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.

The minimum distance between the support of the cooking pans on top of the cooker and the bottom of the hood must not be less than 65 cm for electric cookers and 75 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Before installation also check the minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker.

If the installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between cooker and hood, this distance must be observed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure the power voltage specified on the appliance rating plate is the same as the mains voltage.

This information may be found on the inside of the hood, under the grease filter.

Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F 3 x 0,75 mm ⁴ ) must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.

If the hood is fitted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place after installation. If no plug is fitted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the socket is not located in an accessible place, install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable complete isolation from the mains in case of category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with installation rules.

If the cable is not fitted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:

Mains voltage and frequency	Wire connection
220-240 V50-60 Hz	—— \\ —— : yellow/greenN : blueL : brown

- Use detergents specifically designed for cleaning the appliance and follow the manufacturer instructions.

IMPORTANT: clean the filters at least monthly to remove any oil or grease residuals.

INSTALLATION - FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

To assemble follow the numbers (1, 2,3...) and relative instructions. Do not connect the appliance to the electrical power supply until installation is completed.

Attention! The exhaust pipe and clamps are not supplied and must be bought separately. Remove the polystyrene bar located inside the grease filters surround (see figure below).

EXTRACTOR VERSION (A)

Cooking fumes and vapours are conveyed outside through a duct connected to the hood by means of a collar.

The outlet duct diameter must be the same as that of the collar.

If a flue-damper is to be installed, check that it can open and close freely when installation of the exhaust duct is complete.

The hood can be supplied with one (upper) or two (upper and rear) exhaust outlet holes.

The hood is usually set up for using the upper exhaust outlet.

1. The collar must be seated in the upper exhaust outlet.

Use the rear exhaust outlet (where present).

1. Where fitted, remove the cover closing off the rear outlet and collar.
2. Some models are fitted with a plastic deflector that closes off the rear outlet. If fitted, remove it.
3. Fit the collar in the rear outlet.
4. Put the cover (if fitted) in the upper outlet.

Important: If the hood has a carbon filter, this should be removed.

Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is on position "A" Extractor; if not, set it to this position.

FILTER HOOD (F)

Air is filtered through a carbon filter and returned to the room. The filtered air is released towards the kitchen ceiling.

Important: If the hood does not have a carbon filter, order one and fit it before use.

Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is on position "F" Filter; if not, set it to this position.

If the plug is provided, close off the upper exhaust hole.
