• Exhaust air must not be vented through a flue used for removal of fumes produced by appliances
burning gas or other fuels, but must have a separate outlet. All national regulations governing
extraction of fumes must be observed.

• If the hood is used together with other appliances operating on gas or other fuels, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). For this reason, make sure the room is
adequately ventilated.

INSTALLATION

After unpacking the appliance, check for any transport damage. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any
damage, only remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam packaging at the time of installation.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

WARNING:

The minimum distance between the support of the cooking pans on top of the cooker and the bottom of the hood must not be less than 65 cm for electric
cookers and 75 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Before installation also check the minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between cooker and hood, this distance must be observed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure the power voltage specified on the appliance rating plate is the same as the mains voltage.
This information may be found on the inside of the hood, under the grease filter.
Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F 3 x 0,75 mm²) must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.
If the hood is fitted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place after installation. If no
plug is fitted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the socket is not located in an accessible place, install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable
complete isolation from the mains in case of category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with installation rules.
If the cable is not fitted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:

Mains voltage
and frequency

220-240 V
