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.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves
unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in
case maintenance is ever required.
Where foreseen remove the grease collecting panels.
Remove the grease filter/s
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall.
Surface mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves
unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in case
maintenance is ever required.
Assembling the chimney flue support/bracket (3 parts):

).

The three parts should be fixed with 4 screws, the
support extension is adjustable and should correspond
to the internal width of the telescopic chimney flue.
Assembling the deflector (only when a deflector
composed of 3 parts is supp lied – the deflector shou ld
be only for the filter version):
The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws, the
deflector extension is adjustable and should
correspond to the width of the chimney flue support, to
which it is then fixed.

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.Draw a line corresponding to the centre line on the

F

G

K

wall to the ceiling with a pencil. It will help the
installation operations.

2.Apply the perforation diagram to the wall: The centre
vertical line printed on the perforation diagram must
correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall. In
addition, the lower edge of the perforation diagram
must correspond to the lower edge of the hood:
keeping mind that the lower part of the hood, once
installation is completed, must distance at least 50 cm
from the cooking surface in case of electric plates and
65 cm in case of gas rings or mixed tops.

3.Place the support bracket on the perforation diagram
making it coincide with the rectangle marked out. Mark
the two external holes and make the holes. Remove the
peroration diagram, insert two wall dowels and fix the
support bracket of the hood with two 5x45mm screws.

4.Hang up the suction unit.

5.Adjust the distance of the suction unit from the wall.

6.Adjust the horizontal setting of the suction unit.

7. Mark the hole for definitively fixing the suction unit
from inside the suction unit with a pencil.

8.Remove the suction unit from the bracket.

9.Make a hole at the marked point (Ø8mm - see
operation 7).

10.Insert 1 wall dowel.

11.Apply flue support bracket „G“ to the ceiling, using
the support bracket as a perforation diagram (the small
slot on the support must coincide with the line
previously traced on the wall – operation 1) and mark 2
holes with the pencil. Make the holes (Ø8mm) and
insert 2 dowels.

12.Fix the flue support bracket to the wall with two
5x45mm screws.

13.Connect the suction group to the lower bracket.

14. Definitively fix the suction unit to the wall
(COMPULSORY!!).

15.Position the hood on the suction unit (insert it
partially), connect the electricity, fix the hood to the
suction unit (from inside with 3 screws at the sides and
2 in front) after having completely inserted it into its
housing.

16.Connect the tube (tube and band for fixing not
supplied and must be purchased) for discharging the
fumes at the connection ring placed over the suction
motor unit.
The other end of the tube must be connected to a
fumes expulsion device towards the outside in the
case of using a suction version hood. If you want to
use a filtering hood, fix baffle F to flue support staff G
and connect the other end of the tube to the
connection ring placed on baffle F.

17.Connect the electricity.

18.Apply the flues and fix them with 2 screws (18a) to
flues support „G“ (18b).

19.Let the lower part of the flue slide to completely
cover the suction unit until it is inserted into the
apposite housing over the hood.
Mount the fats filter/s (and where envisaged, the fat

collecting panels) and check the perfect functioning of
the hood.
