Mounting 

This hood is designed for fitting in a cabinet or on some other 
support. 
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 numerical series of instructions given below refers to the 
drawings you will find on the first pages of this manual, 
containing the respective numbering. 
Installation sequence 
Installation on a wall mounted unit can be done with or without 
using side brackets. 
First check if the wall mounted unit is suitable for the hood in 
accordance with the dimensions indicated in the drawings. 
 
1. Install the air outlet fitting with 2 screws. 
2. Remove the grease filters. 
3. If the wall unit depth is higher than 275mm, use the kit 
supplied spacer.

unit (without bracket side) 
4. Apply the template for fixing making it to coincide with the 
front part of the wall unit. 
Note: The template should be cut to size as indicated. 
Perform 4 through holes for the screws and the central hole 
for the passage of the exhaust tube and electric cable. 
Repeat the same holes (for the hose and cable) on the roof of 
the wall unit. 
 
5. Install an exhaust pipe sufficiently long to reach the ceiling 
the wall unit (filtering version) or the exhaust system to the 
outside (suction version). 
Insert the tube and cable in the appropriate hole and make 
them both come out from the wall unit ceiling. 
Fix the hood to the bottom of the wall unit with 4 screws. 
Note: Before tightening the screws make sure that the power 
cable is not pressed and damaged in any way. 
 
 
Installing the hood with side brackets 
6. Perform a hole in the ceiling of the wall unit for the passage 
of the exhaust tube and of the power cord. 
(the dimension shown in Figure 6 for the hole does not include 
any spacers). 
7. Fix the brackets L-R (Fig. 7) to the side panel of the wall 
unit with two screws per bracket 
(The right bracket R on the right side, the left bracket L on the 
left side). 
Place the brackets at 26mm from the front edge of the wall 
unit, taking into account that the rear edge of the bracket 
corresponds to the upper rear of the hood. 
8. Insert the tube and cable in the appropriate hole and make 
them both come out from the wall unit ceiling.  
Insert the hood in the wall unit by sliding to the limit the 

brackets of the hood above the brackets attached to the 
wall unit. 

Feed the power cable into the slots on the wall unit. 
Lock the hood by fixing the brackets to each other with 2 

screws (one per side). 

If the hood does not fit perfectly with the bottom edge of the 

wall unit, loosen the screws P of the brackets E installed 
on the hood, to adjust the geometry (Fig. 8), 

thus making possible the perfect adjustment of the coupling 
between the hood and the wall unit, then retighten the screws. 
 
 
9. Only for the filtering version apply the carbon filters. 
10. Reinsert the grease filters.
