INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
In order to respect the minimum distance of at least 65 cm, in accordance
with the present regulation, between the supporting surface for cooking
vessels on a gas hob and the low voltage components in the range hood, the

the hob (Fig. 1).
If the mounting instructions of the gas cooker indicate a wider distance,
respect it.
The unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top radiant plate.

Refer to the plate inside hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings.
EMPLOYMENT
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation – Fig. 2). Activated charcoal filters are
not to be put in the exhausting version .
Kitchen smokes are discharged externally by means of a flue joined to the
discharge connector of the cooker hood. The flue should communicate
with the outside of the houseThis pipe must not under any circumstances
be connected to cooker, boiler or burner exhaust pipes, etc.
Filtering (inside recycling – Fig. 3). Waste gases and vapours when
cooking are filtered through active carbon filters, depurated and re-
circulated into the kitchen through a tube connected to the ducting fitting
(spigot) on the cookerhood, which conveys the air to a hole on the upper
part of the wall mounted unit. Always keep this hole free of obstacles to
permit the air to return into the kitchen.
