This hood is designed for installation over a cooking appliance fitted into a
peninsular or island kitchen cabinet. The hood can be fixed to the ceiling or to a
wooden buttress (fig. 2). The hood is supplied complete with a substantial ceiling
fixing system which is fully adjustable in height to suit most installation
requirements. This canopy hood is designed to be used either in the extraction
mode (ducted to the outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal recycling).
Before commencing the installation, consideration should be given to the
difficulties to be found during installation and to the bulky weight of the
hood. The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and
competent person in conformity to the rules concerning the evacuation of
contaminated air. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or
injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation
contained in the following text.
2-COMPONENTS
The cooker hood is made up of the following components (fig. 1):
2.1 - no. 1 canopy item “C”, including controls, worktop illumination and fan unit
2.3 - no. 1 telescopic chimney stack formed by:
no. 1 upper section item “S”
no. 1 lower section item “I”
no. 1 bag of screws and accessories
no. 1 recirculation venting grille item “G”
2.4 - no. 1 recirculation spigot item “F”
2.5 - no. 1 reduction flange Ø 150-200 item “R”
3-SAFETY WARNINGS
3.1 - The cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a flue which is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric such as
a central heating flue or water heating flue.
3.2 - Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage on the rating plate
inside the hood.
3.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a double pole switch which has 3 mm
clearance between the contacts.
3.4 - The appliance must be earthed.

Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.5 - The hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above a cooking appliance.
3.6 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.
3.7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oils may
catch fire.
3.8 - Before carring out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from
the mains supply.
3.9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance
such as a central heating boiler, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into
the room. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with other appliances
supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not
exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker
hood.
4 - Installation
To install the hood proceed by fitting the components in the following order:
4.1 - Fitting of upper telescopic frame “TS”
4.2 - Fitting of lower telescopic frame “TI”
4.3 - Setting the hood for recirculation or evacuation
4.4 - Connection to the mains supply
4.5 - Fitting the chimney
4.6 - Fitting the canopy
4.7 - Electrical connection of controls and functional test
4.1 - Fitting of upper telescopic frame “TS”
The frame is suitable for fixing to the ceiling as illustrated in (2A) or to a wooden
buttress (2B) of adequate thickness and well secured to the ceiling or other
carrying structure. Remember that the recycled air can be directed in four different
directions: such choice must be made when securing the upper frame (see point
“d”).
a) Separate the lower frame “TI” (6C) from the upper part “6A” by loosening the four
retaining screws “6B” with the socket head screw wrench provided “6D”.
b) Remove the screws “3A” and pull out the upper pipe “S”(3B) of the telescopic
chimney.
c) Using a plumb line or similar tool, mark the centre on the ceiling or buttress from
the centre of the cooking appliance.
d) (fig. 5) Use the drilling template “5A” provided to mark the centre on the ceiling or
wooden buttress and align one of the two axes (A or B) of the template parallel
with the long side of the hob “5C” bearing in mind in which direction you want the
filtered air to exit. Vent direction 1 or 2, as indicated on the template, is determined
during the subsequent fitting phase of the lower frame (paragr. 4.2). Mark the
position of the 4 holes on the template, plus the power cable hole.
e) Position “5E” indicates the useful area to pass the mains cable.

Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
f) Drill the holes as follows:
- ceiling:4 holesØ10mm for securing the upper frame
1 holeØ10mm to pass the mains cable
- buttress: 4 holesØ8mm for securing the upper frame
1 holeØ10mm to pass the mains cable.
g) For extraction mode with ceiling vent only
Use the template provided to mark the ø 125 mm hole on the ceiling for ducting
when the range hood is to be installed in the extraction mode.
h) Fitting the hood to the ceiling
Attention: Due to the many differing types of ceiling construction, the choice of
fixings is left to the discretion of the installer. It is necessary to emphasise that the
fitting has to be absolutely accurate because of the weight of the cooker hood
and bacause of the flexing caused by accidental lateral stresses on the
appliance. Only the following types of ceiling are suitable for installing the island
cooker hood:
1 - Solid concrete ceiling: use dowels for concrete (not supplied).
2 - Solid wooden buttress ceiling: use Ø 10 mm wood screws with a minimum
length of 120 mm (not supplied).
3 - Cavity ceiling with inner empty space, having a thickness of about 20 mm:
use, in this case, the four dowels and screws supplied. Once fixed, make sure
that the basis is absolutely stable even when the metal frame is subjected to
lateral stresses.
4 - If the ceiling is not strong enough in the area where the hood is to be fixed,
the installer must strengthen the area adequately so that it can withstand the
weight of the hood.
i) When fitting the hood to a wooden buttress: secure the frame to the base of
the buttress using the four M6 x 80 mm nuts and bolts provided.
4.2 - Fitting the lower telescopic frame “TI”
a) Turn the lower telescopic frame “TI” (6C) according to the chosen direction of
filtered air vent: “6U” or rotating the frame “6C” in the opposite direction.
b) Connect the lower frame “TI” (6C) to the upper frame “TS” (6A) and secure by
tightening the 4 screws “6B” using the socket head screw wrench provided “6D”,
adjusting the height from the hob and bearing in mind that the canopy item to be
fitted subsequently is 7 cm high. In any event, in this position, the lower part of the
frame must not be positioned at less than 72 cm from the underlying hob.
4.3 - Setting the hood for evacuation or recirculation
1 - Setting for evacuation:
a) Apply the reducing spigot “7B” to the upper part of the extraction unit “7D”.
b) Connect spigot “7B” to the external ducting by means of rigid or flexible duct
“7G” (not provided) to be fixed using clamps “7F” provided.
c) Remove any charcoal filter in the lower part of the canopy (see paragr. 3.2 - part
two).
