Filtering version
In the case where it is not possible to discharge the cooking
fumes and steam outside, the hood can be used in the
filtering version, mounting 1 or 2 active carbon filters (*).
The fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen. Fig. 2.2
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
Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the hood
should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
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 70cm 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.
Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by
the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified
person.
Mounting
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.
Before beginning installation:
•
Remove the fats filter/s or the suction grill/s (depending
on the model in possession –see also the relative
paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted once
installation is completed.
• 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.
• 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).
• Choose the discharge outlet to use:
Only filtering version: use ONLY the upper B1 outlet
(Fig. 2 - Fig. 2.2). Check that this, once installation is
completed, is not obstructed and that there is sufficient
space so that the purified fumes and steam can return
easily into the kitchen.
Press with decision (Fig. 3.1) to take away the pre-
fractured part (B1 o B2) that closes the discharge outlet
and remove it.
Install the connection ring on the open discharge outlet
(Fig. 3.2 bayonet embedded) or the deflector (*). (Fig.
3.3).
Check that the lateral wall units between which to install the
hood are sufficiently robust for installing the hood.
Otherwise mount the hooking brackets on the wall (*) to use
as additional supports:
a. Insert each bracket from the rear inside the hood
through the apposite slots (Fig. 4.1—Fig. 4.2).
b. Fix the brackets with the screws and threaded bushes
(Fig. 4.3).
Screw the headless screws halfway. They will serve to
adjust the position of the hood at the moment of
installation.
Note: the position of the brackets can be adjusted during
installation, suitably loosening and retightening the screws
that fix them to the hood. (Fig. 7 - S1-S2).
Installing the aesthetic panel (*)
a. Extract the steam collector (freeing it from the blocking
hooks - Fig. 5).
b. Put perforation diagram N3 on the REAR of aesthetic
panel J (the arrow on the diagram turned upward towards
the UPPER EDGE of the aesthetic panel). Fig. 6
c. Make BLIND HOLES K as indicated. Fig. 6
d. Put the steam collector over the aesthetic panel and fix it
with 8 screws L. Fig. 6
e. Remount the door on the hood, first on upper guides M1,
then on the lower M2. Fig. 6
f. Close completely and re-open the door to check its
correct sliding on the guides.
Installation
a. Use perforation diagram N2 (*). Position the diagram on
the front edges of the wall unit (right wall unit, B side) –
(left wall unit, C side) WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE
THICKNESS OF THE DOORS, and make the holes as
indicated. Fig. 8
b. If necessary, fix the hood to the wall, putting template N1
(*) on the wall so its upper edge coincides with the upper
