Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and
65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
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
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-
current category III, in accordance with installation
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.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the
other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and
mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also
relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other
supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware
in it.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the
hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)
an electric socket is available and it is possible to
connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only
suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.
installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the
passage of the discharge tube).
Attention! The chimney is predisposed for installation of
the filter Version.
In certain models where it is required to use the cooker hood
in the suction version then it is possible to overturn the upper
section of the chimney
and insert it inside the lower section of the chimney so that the
air-exit perforations are not visible.
The chimneys in which this operation is possible are
recognizable by their bracket fixing points G which are
repeated also in the lower side of the upper section of the
chimney.
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must
verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this
appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

1. Draw a line on the wall up to the ceiling with a pencil,
corresponding to the centre line. It will make the operations
easier.
2. Apply the drilling template to the wall: the vertical centre
line printed on the drilling template should correspond to
the centre line drawn on the wall. In addition, the lower
edge of the hole drilling template corresponds to the
lower edge of the hood.
3. Put the lower support bracket on the drilling template,
making it coincide with the traced triangle, marking the
two external holes and drill.
Note: Always make all the holes indicated on the
template.
4. Remove the drilling template, insert the wall dowels into
all the holes made and fix the support bracket of the hood
with two screws.
5. Apply flues support bracket „G" to the wall joining the
ceiling. Use the support bracket of the hood as a drilling
template (if present, the small slot on the support must
coincide with the line previously traced on the wall) and
mark 2 holes with a pencil. Drill the holes and insert 2
dowels.
6. Fix the flues support bracket to the wall with 2 screws.
7. Hook the hood to the bracket.
8. Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall.
9. Adjust the horizontal setting of the hood.
10. Fix the hood to the wall definitively (COMPULSORY!!).
11. Extract the sliding supports and block them with 2
screws.
12. Hook the front panel to the support, adjust the slope and
fix it with 4 screws (2 per side).
13. Unscrew the sliding supports fixing screws and adjust the
depth of the panel.
Fix the panel in the wanted position with the 4 screws.
14. Connect a tube (tube and fixing bands not supplied: to be
purchased.) for discharging the fumes to the connection
ring placed over the suction motor unit.
The other end of the tube must be connected to a fumes
expulsion device toward the exterior of the house if using
