Use
The hood is designed to be used either for
exhausting or filter version.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the
building by means of a special pipe connected with
the connection ring located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and
must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to
that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be
slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to
vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active
charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls
with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet
(connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with
smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the
suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore
declined.
- Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
- Use a duct with as few elbows as possible
(maximum elbow angle: 90°).
- Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
- Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
- The duct must be made of certified material.
Filter version
One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can
be obtained from your usual retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the
extracted air before sending it back into the room
through the upper outlet grid.
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 30cm from electric cookers and 35cm 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, after installation.
If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection)
or if the plug is not located in an accessible area,
after installation, 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
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the
hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a
qualified technician must verify suitability of the
materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong
enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile,
grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface
mounting only.
In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls
and/or lateral wall units check that there is
sufficient space to install the hood and that access
to the command panel is easy.
Only for some models
An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional
accessory.
Check with the authorized dealer whether the
model in your possession envisages this possibility.
We advise installing the hood after having
purchased the flue to check with certainty the most
suitable installation.
