Preliminary information for installation of the hood:
Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
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 th is appliance to the wall.
Surface mounting only.

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 65 cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify
a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
1. Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up
to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facili tate
installation.
2. Rest the drilling template against the wall: the
vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must
correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall, and
the bottom edge of the drilling template must
correspond to the bottom edge of the hood: bear in
mind that, when installation is complete, the underside
of the hood must be at least 50 cm above the cooker
top in the case of electric cookers, and at least 65 cm
above the cooker top in the case of gas or mixed
cookers.
3. Rest the support bracket on the drilling template so
that it coincides with the dotted rectangle, mark the two
outer holes and d rill them , remo ve th e dri llin g te mpla te ,
insert 2 wall plugs and fix the hood support bracket
into place using two 5x45mm screws.
4. Hang the hood on the bracket.
5. Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall.
6. Adjust the horizontal position of the hood.
7. Using a pencil mark the cooker hood permanen t drill
hole inside the suction group (two drill holes are
necessary for fastening).
8. Remove the hood from the bracket.
9. Drill at the point marked (Ø8mm - see operation 7).
10.Insert 2 wall plugs.
11. Rest the chimney support bracket „G“ against the
wall, touching the ceiling. Use the support bracket as
a drilling template (the small slot formed on the support
must coincide with the line drawn on the wall as above
– operation 1) and mark 2 holes with a pencil, drill the
holes (Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs.
12. Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using
two 5x45mm screws.
13. Hook the hood onto the bottom bracket.
14. Fix the hood into its final position on the wall
(ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL).
15. Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not
provided, to be purchased separately) for discharge of
fumes to the connection ring located over the suction
motor unit.
If the hood is to be used in ducting version, the other
end of the pipe must be connected to a device
expelling the fumes to the outside. If the hood is to be
used in filter version, then fix the deflector F to the
chimney support bracket G and connect the other
extremity of the pipe to the connection ring placed on
the deflector F.
16. Make the electrical connections.
17. Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the
top to the chimney support „G“ (17b) using 2 screws
(17a).
18. Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until
it completely covers the suction unit and slots into the
housing provided on top of the hood.
Replace the grease filter/s (and where foreseen the
grease collecting panels) and check that the hood is
operating correctly.
