use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the
hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it
running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the
speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapour and use
boost speed(s) only in extreme situations. Replace the charcoal
filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction
efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a
good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the
ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and
minimize noise.

Additional Installation Specifications:

Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation
or, if not supplied, purchase the correct screws type.
Use the correct length for the screws which are identified in the
Installation Guide.
In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre
or similar qualified person.
WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in
accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by
means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring
located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be
purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the
connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly
slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily
from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter,
then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller
dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance
and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum

elbow angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be
obtained from your usual retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted
air before sending it back into the room through the upper
outlet grid.

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral
suction unit.

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 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, after installation.
If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is
not located in an accessible area, after installation, 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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is
damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the

chosen installation area.

• Remove the charcoal (*) 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.
