Wall mounting

• Wall must be flat, straight and have the suffi-cient bearing capacity.
• Depth of drilling holes must comply with the length of bolts.
• The bolts and dowels provided are suitable for brick walls. For other construction material (e.g. drywall, plate, porous concrete), suitable fixing dowels and nuts shall be used.

CAUTION: Before drilling, ensure that there are no power, gas or wa-ter pipes in the close proximity of the drilling locations.
Draw a mid location line from the ceiling perpen-dicular to the lower edge of the hood .
Paste the installing template provided within the accessories on the surface where the hood is to be mounted. In doing this operation, observe the mounting height of the hood (Figure 2).
There is a tab in the middle of the flue connection plate. Place the middle point of this tab on the line that is drawn perpendicular to the wall. In doing this operation, adjust the hood according to the maximum height (Figure 2). Mark the holes wherethe flue connection plate will be mounted with the help of a pen (Figure 2/a).
Drill the marked points with Ø6mm drill and insert 2 plastic dowels in the drilled holes (Figure 2/a).
Fix the flue connection plate to the wall with 3,9×22 screws (Figure 2/a).
To assemble the hood body, you can use the A, B, C, D Ø8 mm drill on the assembly template, and insert 4.8x50mm plastic dowels at these points. (Figure 2/b).

Connecting to flue
If you are going to use the Ø 120/150 mm plastic flue adapter, connect one end of the pipe to this adapter, if you are not going to use it, to the direct output on the product. Connect the other end of the pipe to your flue. Check that these two con-nections are tight enough so they will not come out when the appliance runs on full power. Ensure that the flaps inside the flue work when tightened with clamp. Connect the flue connection duct outside the adapter. If the connection duct is fitted inside the adapter, the covers that prevent air return shall remain closed and air won’t be sucked in. The length of the pipe connection as well as the num-ber of elbows must be as minimum as possible.
