min. width of hood
The hood comes with plugs suitable for most
walls/ceilings. You should however consult a
qualified technician to make sure the installation is
suitable for your kind of wall/ceiling. The wall/roof
should be sufficiently strong to support the weight
of the hood.
Before installation:
• Check that the product purchased is the right
size for the area where it is to be installed.
• To make installation easier, temporarily remove
the grease filters and other parts that can be
removed. These should be refitted when
installation is complete. See the relative
paragraph for dismantling.
• Remove the activated carbon filter/s if provided
(again consult relative paragraph). This/these
should be re-assembled only if you wish to use
the hood in the recirculation mode.
• Check that there are no parts (e.g. bags with
screws, warranty) inside of the hood (for
transport reasons). If there are, remove them
and put to the side.
• If possible, disconnect and remove the
surrounding units and those near the installation
area of the hood so that you have better
accessibility to the ceiling / wall where the hood
is to be installed. Otherwise, protect the units
as much as possible and all the parts relating to
the installation. Choose a flat surface and cover
it with some protection where you can place
the hood and parts.
• Disconnect the hood by turning off the mains
switch in the house when connecting the
electrics.
• Furthermore, check that near the area where
you are installing the hood (in an area accessible
even when the hood is fitted) there is an
electric socket and that you can connect to an
extractor towards the outside (only in the
venting mode).
• Carry out all the building work necessary (e.g.:
installation of an electrical supply and/or hole to
pass the venting exhaust pipe through).

Pre-assembly of the
chimney support brackets
(only when a 3 part bracket
is provided)
Pre-assemble the 3 parts of
the chimney flue support
bracket with 4 screws; the

part deflector is provided) – the deflector should
only be used in the
recirculation mode).
Pre-assemble the 3 parts of
the deflector with 2 screws;
the width of the deflector
should be identical to the
