ELECTRICAL & INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Do not install insulation within 76 mm (3 in) of any part of the
rangehood.
Check of the ceiling
The ceiling must be flat, horizontal, sturdy enough, and
resistant
WARNING:
I
•
The hood is designed to be installed in a dropped ceiling
•
For 40" models the false ceiling must be robust and have a
load capacity suitable for a product with a maximum weight of
38 kg (steel panel model) or 40 kg (glass panel model).
•
For 60" models the false ceiling must be robust and have a
load capacity suitable for a product with a maximum weight of
56 Kg (steel panel model) or 58 Kg (glass panel model).
•
Do not install the hood directly in the dropped ceiling panels,
but use a suitable frame or support.
•
Both electric and mechanical installation must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
•
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist
or studmust be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
•
Fittings material is 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.
•
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
•
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference.
CAUTION
I
For gas ranges installation: mount this hood so that the bottom
edge is at 39" (99 cm) above the cooking surface.
For electric ranges installation: mount this hood so that the
bottom edge is not less than 30" (76,2 cm) above the cooking
surface.
Household use. Please, read installation manual for specific appli-
cation.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before
you select your hood.
Consult last pages of this manual for installation instruction and
electrical connection steps.
Installation of gypsum board panels (For certain models only).
CAUTION
I
Installation must be performed exclusively by qualified installers.
FOR THE INSTALLER: responsibility for installation of the hood,
including verification of the conformity of the assembly kit
eventually supplied with the product, rests exclusively with the
installer.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of instructions, useful to the installer
(who should use a professional gypsum board installer) to install
the gypsum board:
•
Use fireproof gypsum board panels (type X fire rated gypsum
board complying with ASTM E84), suitable for the operating
conditions in terms of temperature (at least 80°C) and
humidity (at least 93%) reached during application.
•
The total weight of the gypsum board should not exceed 4kg.
•
Fix the gypsum board to the hood using the fixing points
already inserted in the extractor panel.
•
To fix the gypsum board, use suitable mechanical components
(not included in the assembly kit).
Elica denies all liability for damage to persons or property re-
sulting from incorrect installation of the gypsum board and/or
product.
The hood is designed to be used for exhausting version.
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by
means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring loca-
ted on top of the hood.
CAUTION
I
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the
connection ring.
CAUTION
I
If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be
removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diame-
ter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller
dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance
and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
•
Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
•
Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow
angle: 90°).
•
Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
