2/ INSTALLING THE HOOD
1) For the correct operation of the Downdraft, it is important for it to be installed correctly.
Before proceeding with installation
2) Before installing your appliance, remove all safety protections as illustrated in Fig. 2 - 2b
– 2c – 2d.
3) The motor is delivered fixed to the appliance to prevent any damage during transport. It is
necessary to remove the motor prior to beginning the installation.
4) Drill a rectangular hole suitable to the cooker hood dimension in the rear side of the cook
top (see figure 3A and 3B).
5) The maximum distance allowed between the hole to be drilled, for the cooker hood, and the
cook top is 6 cm. The cooker hood must absolutely rest on all 4 sides. For the DHD9001X model
only: installation is carried out between two cook tops with 2 maximum burners for each one.
(Fig. 3C)
6) Before making the opening, check the inside of the cabinet level with the hood area to make
sure there is no framework or other elements that could adversely affect the correct installation.
Make sure that the size of the hood with its motor and the work top are compatible with the unit
so as to allow installation.
7) Apply some glue on the trim of the lower side of the cooker hood. (Fig. 10-11-12) and place
it inside the opening in the kitchen top. Then fit the Downdraft inside the unit.
Installation
8) Fit the hood inside the unit, introducing it from above.
9) The steel cornice of the hood must adhere perfectly to the upper kitchen top.
10) Fasten the hood inside the unit, using the special brackets (Fig. 5 A). According to the size
of the unit and the overall size of the air exhaust tube, use the fastening brackets provided.
Motor
11) Install the motor on the cooker hood body, orienting the air outlet towards the desired di-
rection, downwards or upwards (Fig. 5).
NOTE:
12) The motor can be fastened either to the front or to back part of the appliance. To install at
the back, proceed as follows: unscrew the plate in the back part of the hood, screw in the motor
in place of the plate, connect the motor wiring correctly and screw the plate into the front part
of the hood.
- Install the air exhausting pipe (not supplied with the appliance)
- Connect the other end of the pipe to the external side of the cabinet for filtering mode instal-
lation, or to the kitchen external air-outlet for suctioning mode installation (Fig. 6bis).
Warning: do not make any other holes in the appliance, as this could damage the internal sli-
ding parts as well as the electrical parts.
13) Position the metal box with the electrical parts in an area that can be accessed easily for
assistance interventions (Fig. 6) and connect the electric connectors to the hood. Warning: be
sure to follow the guidelines and warnings in the section about "How to connect the hood"
14) Connect the appliance to the mains electricity.
