Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text
by alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set
out in this manual. All responsibility, for any damages
or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this
manual, are the responsibility of the user.
The Rangehood must be placed at a minimum distance of
50 cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 65cm
for gas cookers.
The Rangehood can be installed above these heights but for
optimum performance it should be installed at the distance
quoted for the appropriate heat source.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge
of fumes to the outside (Ducting version – exhaust pipe
and pipe fixing clamps not provided).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and
vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter
version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F
on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled
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).
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
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.
Installation - Fig. 5
Preliminary information for installation of the hood
Assembling the chimney flue support/bracket (3
parts):
The 3 parts should be fixed with 4 screws, the support
extension is adjustable and should correspond to the internal
width of the telescopic chimney flue.
Disconnect the Rangehood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
Remove the 2 screws fitted inside the lower part of the
Rangehood at the points in which it is fixed to the suction unit
(see
also operation 3 - remove the grease filter/s).
1 . Rest the suction unit on a flat surface and thread the lower
part of the Rangehood onto it.
2 . Connect the sensor to the small plate on the front of the
suction group (A – the male and female connectors have
an obligatory access) and the lamps (C).
Connect the control panel to the small plate located on
the front of the suction group (B – the male and female
connectors have an obligatory access).
3 . Fasten the Rangehood to the suction unit using 8 screws.
4 . Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to
the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate
installation.
5 . Rest the drilling template against the wall: the vertical
centre line printed on the drilling template must correspond
to the centre line drawn on the wall, and the bottom edge
of the drilling template must correspond to the bottom
edge of the Rangehood: bear in mind that, when
installation is complete, the underside of the Rangehood
must be at least 50 cm above the cooker top in the case
of electric cookers, and at least 65 cm above the cooker
top in the case of gas or mixed cookers.
6 . Rest the support bracket on the drilling template so that
it coincides with the dotted rectangle, mark the two outer
holes and drill them, remove the drilling template, insert
2 wall plugs and fix the Rangehood support bracket into
place using two 5x45mm screws.
7 . Hang the Rangehood on the bracket.
8 . Adjust the distance of the Rangehood from the wall.
9 . Adjust the horizontal position of the Rangehood.
1 0 . From inside the suction unit, use a pencil to mark the hole
to be used for final fixing of the Rangehood.
1 1 . Remove the Rangehood from the bracket.
1 2 . Drill at the point marked (Ø8mm - see operation 10).
1 3 . Insert 1 wall plug
1 4 . Rest the chimney support bracket G against the wall,
touching the ceiling. Use the support bracket as a drilling
template (the small slot formed on the support must
coincide with the line drawn on the wall as above –
operation 4) and mark 2 holes with a pencil, drill the holes
(Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs.
1 5 . Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using two
5x45mm screws.
1 6 . Hook the Rangehood onto the bottom bracket.
1 7 . Fix the Rangehood into its final position on the wall using
one 5x45mm screw (ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL).
1 8 . Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not provided, to
be purchased separately) for discharge of fumes to the
connection ring located over the suction motor unit.
If the Rangehood is to be used in ducting version, the
other end of the pipe must be connected to a device
expelling the fumes to the outside. If the Rangehood is
to be used in filter version, fix deflector F to the chimney
support bracket G using 4 screws, and connect the other
end of the pipe to the connection ring on deflector F.
1 9 . Make the electrical connections.
2 0 . Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the top to
the chimney support G (20b) using 2 screws (20a).
