GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding
installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information
booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance
has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust
to the outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on
the inside - Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultane-
ously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air
in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical
energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environ-
ment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The
negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa
(4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment
for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws
applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance)
to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the
network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified
electrician.
- If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with another cable or a special assembly, which may be
obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical
Assistance Centre.
- This device must be connected to the supply network
through eiter a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur
protected by 3A fuse.
Warning!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a
danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker
hood is operating.
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight
after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker
hood.
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a
fire hazard.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the over-
heated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when
the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in
accordance with the instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Electric Connection:
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated
on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker
hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily acces-
sible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm
between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local
standards, must be placed between the appliance and the net-
work in the case of direct connection to the electrical network.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of
the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of
the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube
composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed
outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood ex-
haust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for
evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other
than an electrical source.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the
anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.7) so that the unit is easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has
the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe
with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product
may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• Fixing to the wall:
Drill the holes A respecting the distances indicated (Fig.2). Fix
the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal position
to the wall units. When the appliance has been adjusted,
definitely fix the hood using the screws A (Fig.5). For the vari-
ous installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the
type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If
the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product,
check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the
hood is to be fixed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue:
Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing
the protective film (Fig.3).
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of
