through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe
connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring
mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).
Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral
suction unit.
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 75cm 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. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area 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.
Mounting
The hood is supplied in two versions: model for installation to
the wall and model for installation to the ceiling.
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the
other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and
mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
• Remove the active carbon (*) 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.

During electrical connection ensure the power supply is
disconnected at the domestic main switch.
1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as the final
height of the hood depends on this.
Note: In some cases the upper section of the lattice is
fixed to the lower section with one or more screws,
eventually check and remove them temporarily to allow
the adjustment of the support structure.
2. Fix the two sections of the structure with a total of 16
screws (four per corner).
Apply one or two brackets to the upper section for
extensions greater than the minimum (on the basis of that
envisaged supplied) to reinforce it.
Proceed as follows for this purpose:
a. Slightly widen the fixing brackets so that they can be
applied to the exterior of the structure.
b. Position the reinforcement bracket immediately above
the fixing point of the two sections of the structure and fix
with a total of 8 screws (2 per corner).
If supplied, fix the second reinforcement bracket in a
position equidistant between the first reinforcement
bracket and the upper side of the lattice, fix with 8 screws
(2 per corner).
Note: in positioning and fixing the reinforcement bracket/s
check that these do not prevent fixing the discharge tube
(suction version) or the baffle (filtering version) easily.
3. Apply the perforation diagram vertically over the cooking
top to the ceiling (the centre of the diagram should
correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides
should be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the
side of the diagram with the word FRONT corresponds to
the control panel). Make the electrical connection.
4. Make holes as indicated (8 holes for 8 wall dowels),
Screw in 4 screws into the holes indicated in the drawing
leaving a space between the head of the screw and the
ceiling of about 1 cm.
5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the
motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and
fixing brackets are not supplied).
6. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).
