The information required to make the location suitable for the installation of the hood is given below.

Wall Mounting

• Wall must be flat, straight, and have sufficient 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 materials (e.g. drywall, plate, porous concrete), suitable fixing dowels and nuts shall be used.

Installation of appliance

(Figure 7)

| CAUTION: Before drilling, ensure that there are no power, gas, or water pipes
in the close proximity of the drilling locations.
---|---

Draw a mid-location line from the ceiling perpendicular to the lower edge of the hood.
Fix the assembly scheme on the wall. For points, A and B, take the maximum dimensions of the hood as a reference, and drill points A and B you have marked with a Ø6mm drill bit, and tap Ø6mm plastic wall plugs. Install the chimney connection plate to the wall with 2 pieces of 3.9×22 screws (Figure 8).
To install the hood body, drill points C, D, E are specified in the installation template with a Ø10mm drill bit and tap Ø10mm plastic dowels to these points (Figure 8).
Install 2 pieces of 5.5×60 mounting screws to points C and D with a clearance of 5 mm between the screw head and the wall (Figure 8).

Install two pieces of hanging plates to the body of the hood with M5x35 mounting screws (Figure 8).

Hold the cooker hood by its body place it on the mounting screws on the wall and tighten the screws (Figure 9). Secure the cooker hood with a 5.5×60 screw to the wall through the mounting hole on the interior of the appliance (Figure 9).

Connecting to Chimney
If you are going to use the Ø 120/150 mm plastic Chimney 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 Chimney. Check that these two connections are tight enough so they will not come out when the appliance runs on full power. Check if the flaps inside the Chimney operate when they are tightened with clamps. Connect the Chimney connection duct outside the adapter (Figure 11/a). If the connection duct is fitted inside the adapter, suction of air shall not occur as the Chimney flap that prevents the return of air will remain closed (Figure 11 / b). The length of the pipe connection as well as the number of elbows must be as minimum as possible.
A: Chimney exit pipe
B: Nonreturn flaps
C: Plastic flue
The valves are closed then the appliance is not operating and prevents possible outside odor and dust from entering inside.

Installation of the Hood to the Chimney
Make the electrical connection of your hood before starting the installation of the Chimney. Slip the Chimney plates around the body.
Install the Chimney plate to the Chimney fastening plate that is secured to the wall from its upper outer edges (Figure 12).
