Supplied accessories (depending on the model)

A non-return exhaust flap must be installed into the air outlet of the range hood (unless one is already factory installed). This part is not included, it must be purchased separately.
Placement

Install the range hood at a height of at least 65 cm above an electric cooktop or at a height of 75 cm above a gas cooktop.
IMPORTANT:
Before installing or using the appliance, please first read all instructions and check that the voltage and frequency values on the rating label correspond to the voltage and frequency in your electricity grid. We recommend that the appliance be connected by a service technician or another qualified person in compliance with local codes and regulations.
Before starting the installation

  • Check that the purchased appliance has the correct dimensions corresponding to the chosen installation location. Furthermore, ensure that there is an electrical power socket available that will remain accessible even after the range hood is installed.
  • Before installing the range hood, check that all necessary masonry work is complete.
  • Have all electrical connections performed by a qualified person.
  • We recommend that you remove the aluminum filters before installing the range hood.
  • Check that there are no packaging materials or other materials, e.g. user’s manual, warranty card, or bags with screws, inside the appliance. These need to be taken out and kept for possible use in the future.
  • We recommend that you disconnect and move to the side free-standing or built-in stoves so that you have easier access to the rear wall or ceiling. If this is not possible lace protective material onto the work area, cooktop, or stove. This will prevent damaging these surfaces.
  • Select an even surface for the necessary assembly of the range hood. Cover the surface with protective material and place all parts of the range hood and fastening elements onto it.
  • It is necessary that a qualified technician inspects the suitability of the supplied fastening material and other components for the specific wall/ceiling type. The wall/ceiling must be sufficiently strong to hold the weight of the range hood.
  • Do not attach this range hood to a wall or cabinet furniture by tiling, or plastering, and do not glue it on using silicone glue. The appliance is designed to only be installed n a wall/ceiling.
  • We recommend that always two people perform the installation of the appliance.

If your range hood is designed to be mounted to the ceiling, adhere to the following instructions.

  1. The range hood must only be suspended on ceiling beams or on load-bearing ceiling beam connections.
  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.
    Drill 4 holes into the bottom wooden shelf according to the pattern on the top plate of the range hood. Also, cut out a hole for the exhaust with a diameter of 130 mm.
    Use the provided screws (3.5 x 45) to mount the range hood into the cabinet. Check that the extensible part is not preventing the cabinet doors from opening/closing.

  1. Place the exhaust flange onto the range hood. This part is not included, it must be purchased separately.

  2. Attach one end of the aluminum fl ue pipe to the range hood flange and the other end to the air outlet. Check that both ends are firmly attached and secured in place.

  3. Bends and deviations in the aluminum fl ue pipe reduce the exhaust performance, so it is essential that the pipe is bent as little as possible.
