2. Do not suspend the range hood on false ceilings.
3. The ceiling must have a load bearing capacity of at least 40 kg.
4. The ceiling thickness must be at least 30 mm.

IMPORTANT: THE RANGE HOOD MAY ONLY BE CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL GRID AFTER THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

Installation of the hanging plate

Place the hanging plate on the ceiling and mark the points for drilling holes for the screws. Check that the front part of the hanging plate (labelled “FRONT”) is facing in the same direction as the control panel.

• Into the designated locations A, B, C, D drill 10mm holes for screws. Depending on the surface of the ceiling use an appropriate drill bit size.
• Insert dowels into the drilled holes A, B, C, D. Check that the dowels are properly inserted.
• Use screws (5.5 x 45) to attach the hanging plate to the ceiling. Check that the hanging plate if fi rmly and properly attached.

Installation of the angle sections

The front angle sections must be installed in the left-right direction and the rear angle sections the other way round.
Attach the angle section to the motor base according to the illustration. You can then set the height of the range hood by setting various positions of the angle sections relative to the motor unit. Check that all angle sections are installed at the same height and that the front part of the motor unit is facing in the same direction as the front part of the hanging plate and control panel.

Installing the chimney to the motor unit

Insert the inner chimney into the outer chimney. To temporarily join the chimney use the screws from the motor unit. The chimney will then not fall during the installation to the hanging plate. The screw holes of the inner chimney should fi t with the motor unit.

Attaching the motor unit to the hanging plate

Lift the motor unit and align the free ends of the angle sections with the corners on the hanging plate (see illustration below). Ensure that the front part of the hanging plate is facing the same direction as the front part of the motor unit and also as the control panel.
Use screws (3.5 x 9.5) to connect the ends of the angle sections to the corners of the hanging plate.

Attach one end of the aluminium tube to the range hood fl ange and the other end to the air outlet. Check that both ends are fi rmly attached and secured in place.

Attaching the inner chimney

Pull out the inner chimney in the upwards direction. Level with the hanging plate and attach using screws (3.5 x 9.5).

Removing the separation plate

To remove the separation plate hold the plate in the appropriate points on the left and right and pull downwards.

Connecting the control unit to the motor unit

Align the hanging hooks on the control unit with the appropriate holes for the hanging hooks on the motor unit and join together using screws (3.5 x 9.5)

Wiring connection

Connect the 220 V socket for the power cord with an appropriate motor socket. Insert the aluminium fi lters when the connection is performed.

During installation perform connections, as shown in the illustration below, to activate the use of the control panel. To connect, fi rst bend the tabs outwards. They will connect after the connection is made.

Carbon filter

If you are using the range hood without an air exhaust, it is necessary to use a carbon fi lter. The carbon fi lter is not included. Contact your vendor or an authorized service centre to purchase this filter.

• Before installing or replacing the carbon fi lter, check that the appliance is turned off and disconnected from the power socket or that the respective circuit breaker is turned off .
• It is necessary to replace the carbon fi lter regularly every 3 – 5 months depending on how much the appliance is used.
• Never wash the carbon fi lter in water unless the manufacturer states otherwise.
• Aluminum filters must always be installed even when the carbon filter is not installed. Do not use the appliance without the aluminum filter installed.

Replacing the carbon filter

1. For the correct operation of the appliance it is necessary to install a carbon fi lter. The number and type depends on the model.
2. Place the carbon fi lter on the motor outlets and turn it in the clockwise direction.
