responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or

fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this

manual, is declined.

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of

fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and

vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter

version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F

on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled

through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe

connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring

mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing

clamps not provided).

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting

mode, and must be connected to an external suction device

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the

cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range

hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and

65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a

greater distance, this must be adhered to.

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. If it not fitted

with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not

located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar 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

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.

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.

Preliminary information for installation of the hood:

Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning

the home mains switch off.

Remove the fat/s filter/s and the carbon filter frame.

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface

mounting only. Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over

shelves unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in

case maintenance is ever required.

Assembling the chimney flue support/bracket (3 parts):

The three parts should be fixed with 4 screws, the support

extension is adjustable and should correspond to the internal

width of the telescopic chimney flue.

Assembling the deflector (only when a deflector

composed of 3 parts is supplied – the deflector should be

only for the filter version):

The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws, the deflector

extension is adjustable and should correspond to the width of

the chimney flue support, to which it is then fixed.
