Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Fig. 2
Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed.

Filter version

• When there is no exhaust duct for venting outdoors, you can use a carbon filter.
• The air is depurated by the filter and put again in the surrounding. To use the appliance in this version, proceded as follows:
• The air is vented outdoors by a duct, passing througt the wall units and connected to the connecting ring.
• 2 charcoal filters are required for cooker hoods with 2 motors and 1 charcoal for cooker hoods with 1 motor.
• Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.
• The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
• The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 60cm from electric cookers and 70cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.

• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and mount it.
  To remove see also the relative paragraphs.

• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.

• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (), guarantees (), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).

• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Preliminary information for installation of the hood: Attention! The 2 fixing brackets are lodged in the protection in polyester packing The brackets are one right R and one left L (see bossing shown on the brackets).

1. Fix the D bracket (Fig.1) to the side panel of the wall unit with two screws for every bracket (the right R bracket on the right side and the left L bracket on the left side). Align the bracket with the lower border.
   Position the bracket to touch the back border of the wall cabinet, considering that the back border of the bracket corresponds to the back side of the cooker hood;
   If the cooker hood is provided with a spacer, in case of use, move the bracket forward to the same thickness as the spacer.
   Drill a hole on the ceiling of the wall cabinet to pass the discharge tube and the electrical cable (the quote indicated in Fig. 1 does not include the eventual spacer).

2. If not already mounted, fix the two E brackets (Fig.2) to the sides of the hood (one per side).
   a. remove the extractable part of the cooker hood;
   b. remove the grease filter/s;
   c. fix the brackets with two screws P per bracket from inside the cooker hood, affix them as more as possible upwards (air exit side) and then serrate the screws.

3. Affix the spacer M with three Clips from the external part of the cooker hood (if supplied – Fig. 2).

4. Insert the cooker hood in the wall cabinet, ensuring to position the cooker hood bracket E above the wall cabinet bracket D (Fig. 3).

5. Thread the electric cable through the appropriate perforation.

6. Block the cooker hood with two screws on the frontal part (Fig. 3 one per side).

7. Connect the cable to the electrical mains, only when the installation is completed.

8. If the cooker hood should not touch perfectly with the lower border of the wall cabinet then regulate by loosening the screws P of the brackets E mounted on the cooker hood (Fig. 2), it will be possible to regulate the perfect matching of the cooker hood and wall cabinet, once regulated tighten the screws.

9. Regulate the gliding of the extractable drawer in relation to the depth of the wall cabinet by acting on the two skirting boards F (Fig. 4).
   In this way it will be possible to place the front in line with the wall cabinet (Fig. 4).

10. • Loosen the screws on the skirting board F;
    • Move the ledges backwards or forwards depending on requirement.
    • Lock in the screws on the ledges.

11. Install a discharge tube on the connection ring C supplied, preferably with a diameter equivalent to the connection ring (Fig. 5). the discharge tube should be sufficiently long to reach outside (Suction version) or the ceiling of the wall cabinet (Filter version).

12. Fix the connection ring C (snap into place), at the upper exit of the cooker hood.
    To ease the installation, the ring is equipped with an index G that should correspond to the appropriate guide H placed on the upper air exit.

13. Complete the installation of the discharge tube.

14. Open the extractable drawer (Fig.6) and apply the aesthetic Q mask (if supplied) with two screws from the inside of the hood (Fig, 7).

15. Re-install the grease filters, connect the cooker hood to the electrical mains and check the perfect operation.
