BEFORE MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

INSTALLATION

NSURE the oven cavity is empty before mounting.

E
E

NSURE that the appliance is not damaged before mounting

it in the cabinet.

C

HECK THAT ALL MATERIAL for mounting the appliance is sup-

plied in the package.

T

HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED to be mounted

over electrical or gas cooker ranges only!
The distance between the cooker range
and bottom part of this appliance must
be at least 500 mm for electrical cooker
ranges and at least 650 mm for gas cook­er ranges.

HE MANUFACTURER MUST BE CONTACTE D for the mini-

T

mum mounting distance where:

Electrical range:

The cooker range has more than 4 hob el-



ements.
The two rear elements exceed a rating of 2



kW per element.
The two front hob elements exceed a rat-



ing of 1.5 kW per element.

Gas range:

The gas burner develop more than 3.2 kw



per burner
The cooker range develop more than 10



kw in total.

EXTERNAL EVACUATION:
THE FLANGE has a Ø 120 mm opening so that,

evacuation pipes with Ø 120 mm can be
mounted.

VACUATI ON SHOULD NOT be through a fl ue

E

used for the evacuation of other vapours
or burnt gas, that is through a pipe used
as a fl ue for open fl ame sources.

IF THE COOKE R HOOD IS USED TOGETHER WITH OTHER AP-

PLIANCES which consume the air in the room

(e.g. gas, diesel oil or coal appliances, water­heaters, boilers) remember that the hood as­pires air from the room which may therefore
not be sufficient for burning.

C

OOKER HOODS AND OTHER APPLIANCES REQUIRING A

FLUE, can only be used together safely if there

is a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in room
which prevents the reabsorbing of the burnt
gases.
This is possible only if the combustion air is
evacuated through non-closing apertures
such as doors, windows, wall boxes for the
supply and evacuation of air or similar techni­cal devices such as reciprocal blocking devic­es or similar. If you are not certain call a quali­fied technician.
NOTE: For best function keep the kitchen win­dows closed when using the fan. If not you
have no negative pressure in the kitchen. But
one window in an adjacent room ought to be
open.

OR EVACUATION use flexible aluminium pipes or

F

sheet plate pipes which are resistant to corro­sion.

O NOT USE INFLAMMABLE PLASTIC PIPES. Al-

D

ways ensure that the evacuation chan­nels and pipes are as short as possible.

F YOU ARE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE TO AN UNUSED

I

FLUE for the evacuation of vapour’s or burnt

gas, we recommend that you request the ad­vice and approval of a competent technician
before making the installation.

2

O NOT MOUNT THE PIPES AT RIGHT ANGLES. They

D

must always be curved and should be fitted
into the flue at an upward angle. The diameter
of the pipe must not narrow towards the top.
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FAN will be reduced with
small diameter pipes.

INSTALLATION

INTERNAL RECIRCULATION
THE COOKER HOOD is used with the internal re-

circulation system when there is no pipe or
opening on the external wall. In the case of in­ternal recirculation, the optional carbon fil­ter must be installed for the absorption of the
cooking vapours.

FOLLOW THE SUPPLIED separate mounting in­structions when installing the appliance.

PRIOR TO CONNECTING

HECK THAT THE VOLTAGE on the rating

C

plate corresponds to the voltage in your
