Before Mounting; Mounting Instructions - FIM M Serie: C Serie Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

GENERAL
A SUCTION HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment and then expels
them outside. It is not necessary to use carbon filters for purifying.
A FILTERING HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment, purifies them
by means of carbon filters and then emits the purified air into the same environment. In this case
the use of carbon filters is absolutely necessary.
Carbon filters are available separately and can be purchased as optional accessories.
If the hood uses a plasma filter, do not set it in filtering mode.

BEFORE MOUNTING

The instruction manual apply to several versions of the appliance. Accordingly you may find
descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
Before mounting the hood it is necessary to pay attention to the minimum installation distances
between the lower part of the hood and the upper part of the hob as shown in the specific
mounting pictures. Where it is possible to reach, we advice a distance between 700 and 800
mm.
If the user decides to install the hood at lower distances than the ones shown, the
manufacturer declines any responsabilità for eventual damages caused by the hood due to
strong heat or damages to property or persons caused directly or indirectly by any type of
malfunctioning break down or possible fire.
It is absolutely forbidden for the user to connect the air discharge of the hood, when used a
suction hood, to boiler chimneys, gas, fume or vapour scavenging chimneys or any other
duct, even only ventilation ducts, which have been used or will be used for other devices.
Moreover it is not permitted to connect the scavenging pipe for fumes in other adjacent
rooms or wellholes, or pipes for fire-fighting devices. In any case it is necessary to respect all
norms concerning scavenging of the air. Any user who does not adhere to these instructions
is risking his own life and the lives of others. In this case, the manufacturer declines any
responsibility.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Mount the cooker hood as shown in the pictures of the M series if the hood is used for suction
use, or C series if the hood is used for filtering use.
The hood is equipped with standard fixing material. The person who is mounting the hood
should make sure that the fixing elements are right and suitable for the walls and ceilings he
finds. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damages caused by incorrect
mounting.
The cooker hood is heavy and in order to move it 2 persons are needed.
During the installation of the cooker hood, always wear protective handgloves to prevent injuries.
The pipe must be heat, flame and corrosionproof. The manufacturer strongly advises against the
use of reducers or pipes with different diameter to the hood outlet pipe, and pipes made of
flexible aluminium because performance is diminished and noise level increased.
The end part of the pipe, on the outside of the hole on the wall, must be of such a shape to
avoid rain, gusts of wind or other foreign bodies getting into the pipe. Should there be any doubt,
contact anyone specialising in the installation of gas or ventilation system and not to reduce air
flow.
