Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. In the horizontal runs the duct must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
INSTALLATION When installed, the distance between hood and gas burners or electric plates must be not less than 65 cm providing the total hob output does not exceed 11kw. For each kw in excess of 11kw the distance between extractor and gas hob must be increased by 10cm. ELECTRIC CONNECTION Before completing any connection make sure the house voltage corresponds with the voltage indicated on the label affixed inside the hood. It is advisable to call a qualified technician to make the electrical connection.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket. Metal grease filter (2 or 3 pieces) The metal grease filter lasts forever and must be washed either by hand or in the dishwasher (65°C) with suitable detergents. The grease filters must be washed at least once a month.
