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 double pole 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.

The hood is supplied in two versions: model for installation to

the wall and model for installation to the ceiling.

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for

the chosen installation area.

• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the

other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and

To remove see also the relative paragraphs.

• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also

relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only

if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.

• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other

supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with

screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing

them and keeping them.

• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in

range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to

rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective

covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect

from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for

assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective

covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the

hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)

an electric socket is available and it is possible to

connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only

• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.

installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the

passage of the discharge tube).

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.
