If not, call a qualified electrician and fitter to have the required arrangements made.

There should be a minimum clearance of 650 mm between the top surface of the hob and the bottom surface of the hood. The air to be extracted via the hood should not be connected to a chimney that is used by other appliances that use gas or other fuels. (It does not apply to devices that only blow the air back into the room)
The regulations on air exhaust should be followed.
Electrical connection
Manufactured with a 2-track power cable, this device must be connected to the mains by an electrical switch with at least 3mm clearance between bipolar contact leads. Have the electrical connections been done by a qualified electrician?

• Install your appliance so that you can reach the power connection (plug, outlet) easily after installation.

Installing the hood
Measurements are in mm. The following provides necessary information to prepare the location for hood installation. The hood must be installed above the central axis of the cooking appliance. There should be a minimum clearance of 650 mm between the top surface of the hob and the bottom surface of the hood. Please apply the following steps for the hood’s installation.

1. Centering the cooking appliance, draw an axis line that has the same height as that of the figure above. Then, with reference to this axis line, drill holes according to the dimensions given above to the fasteners supplied with the product.

2. lnsert the plastic plugs which are given with the packaging into these holes. Check if chimney connectors correspond to those holes or not.

3. As shown in the figure above, fix the wall fittings to their corresponding holes using the two fixing screws provided with the accessories.

4. For electronic models, fix the electronic mainboard into its housing with 4 screws as shown in the figure below.

5. Fix the hood to the wall by centering it through the A-holes. Remove the aluminum filters of the hood. On the inside, fix the back plate of the hood through the B hole using a screw as shown in the figure below. Make sure that the hood is parallel to the counter when fix in.

6. As shown in the figure below, place the cover (C) -that prevents reversed air flow- to the chimney outlet.

7. For chimney connection usage: In chimney connection installation, the absorbed air will pass through the aluminum filters and will be expelled to the outside through the connection pipe. When this connection position is used, chimney connection adapter D is placed on part C as shown in the figure above.

8. Connect one end of the chimney connection pipe E to the chimney connection adapter and place the other end to the chimney. You can obtain the chimney connection pipe E from the authorized service or from the market

9. Internal circulation (Use with carbon filter} In the position of internal circulation, the air absorbed from the environment will go through aluminum filters and carbon filters, where the smell is eliminated, and pass through air directing component, it is finally sent back to the environment through the ventilation grills on the side of the chimney-piece.
   Assemble the air directing component, which is provided as two separate parts, as shown in the figure.
   Fix the air directing component’s extension parts onto the sides as shown in the figure. As shown in the figure above, fix the air directing component onto the cover (C) that prevents reversed airflow.
   Remove the front cover plate on the hood body to attach the carbon filters. Place lug slots of carbon filters (L) to the lugs on motor carrier (F) as shown in the above figure and turn counter­clockwise to fix in place. Apply the same procedure for the motor carrier on the other side. Fix the front cover plate into its place again using the screws.

10. installation of chimney To install the upper chimney, place its upper corners onto the upper wall connector and use the screws to fix the chimney to the wall connector as shown in the figure below.
    To install lower chimney, stretch the chimney by pulling slightly from both sides and secure it onto upper chimney’s slots as shown in the figure above.
    Fix it to the hood through the two holes on the lower corners of the lower chimney.

You may use the hood in two ways:

1. Chimney-connected use The steam is expelled via chimney pipe which is secured to the connection ring on the hood. Diameter of chimney pipe should be equal to connection ring. To allow the air easily going out of the room in horizontal arrangements, the pipe should be slightly tilted upwards
   (approximately 10°).

2. Use with no chimney connection Air is filtered through carbon filter and returned to the room. Carbon filter is used when there is no chimney in the house or when it is impossible to install a chimney pipe.
