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

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.

cabinet; if supplied, use the hole gauge H to drill the correct
distance, otherwise lean the cooker hood on the wall or on the
base of the cabinet and mark the holes with a pencil.

Wall mounting - Insert the wall screw anchors J in the drilled
holes and the two K screws in the upper drill holes, remove the
grill and hook the cooker hood to the 2 screws, finally from the

lights.
Use the high extract speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood extraction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Always open the vapour catcher N*.

activated valve, the keys and/or the buttons and/or the
handles available are for controlling the lights and for opening
and closing the valve.

isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
