proceed with the 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 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this
must be adhered to.
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.
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, after
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area, after installation, 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.
Replacing the power cable
Warning! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
hazard.
AIR VENT
(for the suction versions)
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to
the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause
a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are
not respected.
