INSTALLATION INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION / CONNECTIONS The hood may be installed in the Ducting or the recirculation version. FOR BOTH SINGLE AND TWIN MOTORS MODEL Two types of exhaust air slats are supplied with the hood, A and B. There is one slat A and one slat B supplied with single motor hoods. There are two A slats and two B slats supplied with dual motor hoods. Depending on the type of installation chosen, it may or may not be necessary to change the air exhaust slat (s). With the slat (s) A, the hood is in recycling version. With the slat (s) B, the hood is in the exhaust version. By default, the hood is delivered in a recycling version, that is to say with the A slat (s) fitted. The slat (s) B is (are) supplied in the bag of screws in case it is necessary to install the hood in the exhaust version. For a hood with two motors, it is essential that the slats of each motor are of the same type for the assembly to work.28 SYSTEMICALLY CHECK THAT THE MOUNTED SLAT(S) IS (ARE) CORRECT. By default, the slat installed on each motor is slat A, intended for operation in recycling version. To switch to the evacuation version, first remove aluminum filter, then replace the slat A with the slat B kept in the bag with the spare parts. Remove the air outlet hatch and install the air outlet adapter with the nonreturn valve. Carbon filters are not necessary in the exhaust version. If they are mounted, remove them. The hood draws the cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor, through the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this version the charcoal filters are not required.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance

of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting

fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Regulations DUCTING VERSION INSTALLATION29 INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION – RECIRCULATION VERSION

The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor through the grease filters and charcoal filters and returns clean air into the room. For constant efficiency, the charcoal filters must be replaced periodically. Caution: No need for plastic or rigid metal ducting.

1. Install the charcoal filter.

2. Please note that the air is re-circulated into the room through the front vents.

Decide from the outset on the type of installation (recirculation or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood in the ducting version.

• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not use the plug and an extension cord other than the ones initially supplied with the hood. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION concerning the discharge of air have to be followed. Check with the local authority and building codes for exhaust ducting requirements.

5. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location.30

A) Fixing to the wall
