Installation
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 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
instructions.
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.
Mounting
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
mount it.
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 it.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
• 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
suction version).
• 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.

1. Adjust the extension of the support structure of the hood.
The final height of the hood depends on this adjustment.
Note: In some cases the upper section of the trellis is
fixed to the lower section with 1 or more screws. Check
and remove them temporarily to allow the adjustment of
the support structure.
2. Fix the two sections with a total of 16 screws (4 per
corner).
Apply 1 or 2 brackets as reinforcement for extensions
greater than the minimum (on the basis of what is
envisaged as equipment).
Note: 1 bracket can already be fixed to the trellis
temporarily with 2 screws during transport. Move it into
the desired position or complete fixing it with 6 additional
screws, as follows:
a. Slightly stretch the brackets to be fixed in order to be
able to apply them outside the structure.
b. Position the reinforcement bracket immediately above
the fixing point of the two sections of the structure and fix
with a total of 8 screws (2 per corner).
Fix the second reinforcement bracket, if supplied, in a
position midway between the first reinforcement bracket
and the upper side of the trellis and fix with 8 screws (2
per corner).
Note: check that there is no obstacle to an easy fixing of
the discharge tube (aspiration version) or the deflector
(filtering version) in positioning the reinforcement
bracket(s).
3. Hook the hood to the trellis and make sure that it is
perfectly hooked up. Screw the 16 screws up (4 per
corner) tightly to hook the hood to the trellis.
4. Apply the perforation diagram of the cooking top to the
ceiling vertically (the centre of the diagram must
correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides
must be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the side
of the diagram with the word FRONT corresponds to the
control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.
5. Make holes as indicated (6 holes for 6 wall dowels – 4
dowels for hooking), and screw 4 screws into the external
holes, leaving a space of about 1 cm between the head
of the screws and the ceiling.
6. Hook the trellis to the ceiling with 4 screws, see operation
4).
7. Screw the 4 screws up tightly.
8. Introduce and screw another 2 screws tightly into the
holes for fixing the safety elements remaining free.
9. Introduce a discharge tube inside the trellis and connect to
the connecting ring of the motor space (discharge tube
