DESCRIPTION
The hood may be installed in the filtering or the ducting version.
Filtering version (Fig. 1): The hood aspirates the kitchen air saturated with fumes and odours, purifies it
through the grease filters and charcoal filters and returns clean air into the room. For constant efficiency, the
charcoal filters must be replaced periodically.
Ducting version (Fig. 2): The hood aspirates the kitchen air saturated with fumes and odours, passes it through
the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this version the charcoal filters are
not required.
Decide from the outset on the type of installation (filtering or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend
you install the hood in the ducting version (if possible).
INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation, to better handle the hood, we advise removing the metal grid or the metal filter/s
(depending on the model purchased by you).
To remove the metal grid (Fig. 3), push the two stops towards the inside of the hood and turn the grid until this
can be removed.
To remove the metal filter/s (Fig. 4A or 4B), in line with the handle, push the stop inwards and pull the filter down.
INSTALLATION IN DUCTING VERSION:
Before fixing, the outlet pipe for air evacuation to the outside must be installed. Use an outlet pipe with:
- minimum indispensable length; - Minimum possible bends (maximum angle of bend:90°); - certified material
(according to the State); - an as smooth as possible inside. It is also advisable to avoid any drastic changes
in pipe cross-section (recommended diameter: 125 mm). For air evacuation to the outside, follow all the instructions
given on the ?Warnings? sheet.
Decide on the position of the hole for the air outlet: The hole may be in the wall or the ceiling, according
to your requirements, but must be in vertical line with your hob. Bear in mind that the hood can expel air through
the rear opening A (Fig. 5) or through the top opening B.
Select the type of configuration most suited to your needs and proceed by mounting the flange C (Fig. 6)
on the opening selected for air evacuation (A or B): make the 3 flange clips and the catch D coincide with the
slots on the hood; slightly turn the flange clockwise until it locks. Close the other opening by mounting the ?cap?
(E) in the same way: Make the 3 cap clips and the catch F coincide with the slots on the hood; slightly turn
the cap clockwise until it locks.
Drill the hole in the wall for the air outlet (133 mm diameter) referring to Fig. 7 where the measurements for
the various possibilities are indicated.
Prepare a suitable power supply. For the electrical connection, follow all the other instructions on the ?Warnings?
sheet.
Proceed with fixing the hood: Based on your requirements, you can fit the hood on the wall or on a wall
unit of your kitchen. IMPORTANT: Respect the distance between the hob and lower part of the hood which must
be at least 650 cm.
Fixing to the wall: If you use the top opening B for the air outlet through the wall unit, before fixing the
hood to the wall, drill a hole of 133 mm diameter in the wall unit (Fig. 8). In any case, check the position of
the power outlet and consider where the power cable will run, since a hole might have to be made in the wall
unit to accommodate it. Draw a line on the wall in vertical line with your hob. Mark the 4 holes to be drilled
in the wall, respecting the distances indicated in Fig. 9; Make the 4 holes and fit the 4 screw anchors provided.
Take 2 of the screws provided (Fig. 10G) and insert them in the topmost screw anchors without however screwing
them down completely. Hang the hood on the 2 screws; Working from inside the hood, tighten the 2 screws
completely. Now proceed with final fixing by fitting the other 2 screws H (Fig. 11). Connect a flexible tube to the
hood flange, using a metal hose clamp. Tube and hose clamps are not provided. Make the electrical connection.
Fitting under wall unit: If you use the top opening B for the air outlet through the wall unit, before fixing
the hood to the unit, drill a hole of 133 mm diameter in the wall unit (Fig. 8). In any case, check the position
of the power outlet and consider where the power cable will run, since a hole might have to be made in the wall
unit to accommodate it. Drill 4 holes in the wall unit, respecting the distances indicated in Fig. 12. Push the hood
up against the wall unit and insert the 4 screws operating from inside the wall unit (the 4 screws are not provided).
Connect a flexible tube to the hood flange, using a metal hose clamp. Tube and hose clamps are not provided.
Make the electrical connection.
Installation is now complete. We recommend you:
CHECK THAT THE DUCTING-FILTERING LEVER IS IN THE RIGHT POSITION: The lever is found on the motor
unit and must be positioned on the symbol (P) in the case of installation in ducting version (Fig. 13).
also remember that the use of charcoal filter/s is not necessary with the ducting version; if these are fitted,
remove them and proceed as following according to the model type purchased: |
