Instruction on mounting and use
Note:
the elements marked with the symbol “(*)” are optional
accessories supplied only with some models or elements to
purchase, not supplied.
Use
The hood is conceived for the suction of cooking fumes and
steam and is destined only for domestic use.
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by
means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring
located on top of the hood.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the
connection ring (Ø 120 mm).
I
Attention
! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be
purchased apart.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly
slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily
from the room to the outside.
Attention! 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
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
!
Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
!
Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum
elbow angle: 90°).
!
Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
!
Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
!
The duct must be made of certified material.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it
must be removed.
Filter version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before
being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a
system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking equipment 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, after
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection)
or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after
installation, 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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable
is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
•
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) 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.
•
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).
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.
The hood can be installed on the bottom or on the sides
of the kitchen wall unit
