USER MANUAL 370 ROBLIN

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650~mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120mm . The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly

with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.

• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

Drilling the Ceiling/shelf and fixing the frame

DRILLING THE CEILING/SHELF

• Use a plumb line to mark the centre of the hob on the ceiling/support shelf.
• Place the drilling template 21 provided on the ceiling/support 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 (immediately insert the Dowels 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 10mm

• For the air outlet (Ducted Version), drill according to the diameter of the external air exhaust duct connection.

• Insert two screws of the following type, crossing them and leaving 4 - 5mm from the ceiling:

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

PREPARATION OF THE FRAME FOR THE HOOD IN RECYCLING VERSION

In case the hood is used in recycling version it is necessary to prepare the frame with all the necessary connection pieces. In order to make the installation easier it is necessary to lengthen the frame:

• Unscrew the two screws 2.1 fixing the upper chimney to the frame and pull the chimney out.
• Unscrew the four safety screws placed at the top in the frame separation area. (A).
• Unscrew the eight metric screws connecting the two columns, placed on both sides of the frame (B).

Installation of components in recycling version:

Fix the recycling air outlet piece 15 to the upper part of the frame using four 12c screws supplied with the hood.
Fix the flange (0120) 10 to the lower part of the recycling air outlet 15.
- Put the reducer flange 9 on the hood body outlet.
- At this point, join the flanges with a pipe. In order to calculate the height of the pipe it is necessary to estimate the height of the hood (mm) and subtract 615 mm. (H pipe = H hood-615).
- Lengthen the frame so that the pipe can be inserted. Place the pipe between the two flanges and block it. Make sure that the height of the frame is correct considering the height of the cooker hood (H frame = H hood - 184). Adjust the height of the frame and tighten again the earlier removed screws. Tighten again the safety screws in order to give more stability to the structure.
Fix the pipe with the pipe clamps 25 supplied with the hood.

FIXING THE FRAME

• Lift the frame up, making sure that the index over the frame plate is turned forwards.
• Fit the frame slots onto the two screws inserted in the ceiling as above, and turn until reaching the centre of the adjustment slot.
• Tighten the two screws and fasten the other two screws provided; before locking the screws completely, it is possible to adjust the frame by turning it, making sure that the screws do not come out of their housing in the adjustment slot.
• The Frame must be securely fastened so as to support both the weight of the Hood and the stress caused by occasional axial pressure against the fitted Appliance. After fixing, make sure that the base is stable even when the Frame is subjected to lateral stress.
• If the Ceiling is not strong enough in the area where the hood is to be fixed, the Installer must strengthen the area using suitable plates and counterplates anchored to resistant structures.

Connections
