INSTALLATION MANUAL
!
The appliance must be installed by a
qualified person in compliance with the
instructions provided.
!
Wear gloves when carrying out installation and
maintenance operations.
WARNING
!
The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct
used to blow off smokes from appliances fed with an
energy other than electricity (central heating systems,
thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).
!
Comply with the official instructions provided by the
competent authorities in merit when installing the
disposal duct. In addition, exhaust air should not be
discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is desi
-
gned for that purpose.
!
The room must be well aerated in case a hood and
some other heat equipment fed with an energy other
than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc) operate at
the same time.
!
In fact the intake hood, disposing of air, could create a
vacuum in the room. The vacuum should not exceed
0,04mbar. This prevents the gas exhausted by the
heat source from being intaken again. It is therefore
advisable to ensure the room contains air taps able to
ensure a steady flow of fresh air.
!
Check the data label inside the appliance; if the
symbol () is printed, read the following: this appliance
has such technical particulars that it belongs to class
II insulation, therefore it must not be earthed.
!
Check the data label inside the appliance; if the
symbol () is NOT printed, read the following: ATTEN
-
TION: This appliance must be earthed. When making
the electrical connections, check that the current
socket has a ground connection.
!
When making the electrical connections, check that
the voltage values correspond to those indicated
on the data plate inside the appliance itself. In case
your appliance is not furnished with a non separating
flexible cable and has no plug, or has not got any
other device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from
the electricity main, with a contact opening distance
of at least 3 mm, such separating device ensuring
disconnection from the main must be included in the
fixed installation. If your unit features a power lead
and plug, position this so the plug is accessible.
AIR VENT
(for ducting versions)
!
Prepare the hole and the air vent duct (150 mm dia-
meter).
!
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 with an as smooth as possible inside.
!
The duct must be made of certified material.
!
Do not connect the hood to smoke exhaust ducts
for the products of combustion (boilers, fireplaces,
stoves, etc).
!
For the air vents comply with the provisions laid down
by the competent authorities.
In addition, the air must not be evacuated through a
hole in the wall unless specifically intended for this
purpose.
!
Fit air intakes in the room to prevent the hood from
creating a negative pressure in the room (which must
not exceed 0.04 mbar); if the hood is used at the
same time as non-electrical equipment (gas-, oil- and
charcoal-fired stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be
sucked in by the heat source.
FILTERING OR dUcTING VERSION ?
The hood may be in filtering or in ducting version. Deci
-
de from the outset which type is to be installed.
For better efficiency, we recommend installing the hood
in the ducting version (if possible).
ducting version
The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside
through an exhaust duct (diameter 150 mm).
Filtering version
The hood purifies the air and recycles the clean air
back into the room.
