Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the
range hood must be not less than 45cm 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.
Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by
the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified
person.
Mounting
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.
• 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.
In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls and/or
lateral wall units check that there is sufficient space to install
the hood and that access to the command panel is easy.
Only for some models
An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional accessory.
Check with the authorized dealer whether the model in your
possession envisages this possibility.
We advise installing the hood after having purchased the flue
to check with certainty the most suitable installation.

• Trace a central line on the wall in order to ease
mounting (1), position the hole template in a way that
the middle line printed on top corresponds to the
central line marked previously and the lower side of
the mask corresponds to the lower part of the hood
once mounted. (2).
• Make 3 holes Ø 8 mm with a drill and fix the support
bracket with two dowels and screws to the wall (3),
insert the third dowel into the lower hole.
• Open the vapour scheme and remove the grease
filters (see relevant paragraph).
• Hang the hood (4), regulate the position (5-6) and
fasten it securely with one screw and washer(7).
• Carry out electrical connections (8), but leave the
hood disconnected from the general electrical main
panel.
• Install the supplied flange (9A –suction version– also
install a discharge tube of suitable dimensions) or the
deflector (9F – filtering version).
• Mount the grease filters and close the vapour scheme.
Warning! If the hood has to be used in extractor
version, remove, if supplied, the carbon filter and the
fastening wand (placed on the back of the grease
filters – see relative paragraph).
If the hood has to be used in filtering version, make
sure that the carbon filter is already mounted on the
back of the grease filter, or in case it’s missing, buy it
and install it.
