2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Electrical connection
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant. Two types of electrical
connection can be used:
1. Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and inserted in a mains
socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be disconnected when servicing
is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation
of the equipment.
2. By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures
the disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete
disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation
regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
2.2 Filtering mode
This cooker hood can be employed as evacuation or recycling.
Evacuation :
Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue joined to the exhaust
pipe flue connector. This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to
cooker, boiler or burner exhaust pipes, etc.
Recycling :
Smokes pass through the activated charcoal filter (Picture 3 - G) to be
cleaned and recycled in the kitchen environment by means of holes from which the
purified air will come out. These holes must be free and communicating with the
kitchen environment.
Charcoal filters should not be implemented when using evacuation installation.
2.3 Installation
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The unit must be fitted at a distance of at least 65 cm from the cooking hob. If the
mounting instructions of the gas cooker indicate a wider distance, respect it. The unit
must not be installed above cookers fitted with top radiant plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced
by gas-fed equipment or fuel-fed equipments (this does not apply to filtering hoods).
Installation of the hood onto the wall
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation, which are
suitable for most surfaces. Verify that the installation surface is strong.
