TECHNICAL SAFETY

Before installing the hood, check the in-

tegrity and function of each part. Should 

anomalies be noted, do not proceed with 

installation and contact the Dealer.

Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cos-

metic) defect has been detected. Put it back into 

its original package and contact the dealer.

No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) 

defects once it has been installed.

During installation, always use personal protective 

equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent 

and proper conduct.

The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with 

the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case 

of installation on walls of a different material, assess 

other installation options keeping in mind the type 

of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated 

on page 2).

Keep in mind that installations with different types of 

fastening systems from those supplied, or which are 

not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical 

seal danger.

Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose 

it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).

All set screws must be checked, and retightened 

where necessary, before installation.

CAUTION: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire And Electric 

Shock, Install This Rangehood Only With Remote 

Blower Or Integral Blowers Manufactured by FAL-

MEC S.p.A. Models “Remote in-roof Blower”.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The installation has to be in accordance with the 

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and local 

codes. Making sure the power is off before at-

tempting installation.

The electrical system to which the hood is 

to be connected must be in accordance 

with local standards and supplied with 

earthed connection in compliance with safety 

regulations in the country of use. It must also 

comply with European standards regarding radio 

antistatic properties. 

WARNING: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of 

an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the 

risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire 

for the electric current. This appliance is equipped 

with a cord having a grounding wire with a 

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into 

an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk 

of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if 

the grounding instructions are not completely 

understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the 

appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply 

cord is too short, have a qualified electrician in-

stall an outlet near the appliance.
