INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
The minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cook-
ing equipment on the hob and the
lowest part of the range hood must
be not less than 50cm from elec-
tric 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.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must cor-
respond 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 instal-
lation. 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 dou-
ble pole switch in accordance with
standards which assures the com-
plete 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.
Warning: If the power cable is faulty,
it should be replaced by a qualified
person certified by the manufac-
turer, after sales service or similar
(preferably an electrician) or a per-
son described by importer.

graph). This/these is/are to be
mounted only if you want lo use
the hood in the filtering version.
Check (for transport reasons) that

there is no other supplied mate-
rial inside the hood (e.g. packets

freestanding or slide-in range

covering over countertop, cooktop
or range to protect from damage
and debris. Select a flat surface
for assembling the unit. Cover
that surface with a protective cov-
ering and place all canopy hood
parts and hardware in it.
In addition check whether near

(in the area accessible also with
the hood mounted) an electric
socket is available and it is possi-
ble to connect a fumes discharge
device to the outside (only suction
version).
