Instructions for Installation and Use
Electric Hood
Installation
Preliminary information for installation of the hood:
Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
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.
! It is important to conserve this booklet for
consultation at any moment. In the case of sale,
cession or move, make sure it is together with the
product.
UK
! Read the instructions carefully: there is important
information about installation, use and safety.
! Do not carry out electrical or mechanical variations
on the product or on the discharge conduits.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall.
Surface mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves
unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in
case maintenance is ever required.
Where foreseen remove the grease collecting panels.
Remove the grease filter/s
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall.
Surface mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves
unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in case
maintenance is ever required.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface
for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part
of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from
electric cookers and 65 cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify
a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
1. Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up
to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate
installation.
Installation
Electric connection
! The power tension must correspond with the tension
shown on the characteristics label situated inside the
hood. If provided with a plug, attach the hood to a
socket conforming to the regulations in force and
placed in an accessible zone. If without a plug,
(connected directly to the power supply), use a
regulation bipolar switch with a distance of the
contacts on opening not less than 3mm (accessible).
! If necessary, the situating of the supply cable must
be carried out by the technical assistance service or a
qualified person.
! An authorized installer must carry out the electrical
connection of the hood.
2. Rest the drilling template against the wall: the
vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must
correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall, and
the bottom edge of the drilling template must
correspond to the bottom edge of the hood: bear in
mind that, when installation is complete, the underside
of the hood must be at least 50 cm above the cooker
top in the case of electric cookers, and at least 65 cm
above the cooker top in the case of gas or mixed
cookers.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever
these regulations are not respected.
3. Rest the support bracket on the drilling template so
that it coincides with the dotted rectangle, mark the two
outer holes and drill them, remove the drilling template,
insert 2 wall plugs and fix the hood support bracket
into place using two 5x45mm screws.
4. Hang the hood on the bracket.
5. Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall.
6. Adjust the horizontal position of the hood.
7. Using a pencil mark the cooker hood permanent drill
hole inside the suction group (two drill holes are
necessary for fastening).
8. Remove the hood from the bracket.
9. Drill at the point marked (Ø8mm - see operation 7).
10.Insert 2 wall plugs.
11. Rest the chimney support bracket „G“ against the
wall, touching the ceiling. Use the support bracket as
a drilling template (the small slot formed on the support
must coincide with the line drawn on the wall as above
– operation 1) and mark 2 holes with a pencil, drill the
holes (Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs.
12. Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using
two 5x45mm screws.
13. Hook the hood onto the bottom bracket.
14. Fix the hood into its final position on the wall
(ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL).
15. Connect
a
pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not

provided, to be purchased separately) for discharge of
fumes to the connection ring located over the suction
motor unit.

(17a).
18. Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until
it completely covers the suction unit and slots into the
housing provided on top of the hood.
Replace the grease filter/s (and where foreseen the
grease collecting panels) and check that the hood is
operating correctly.

expulsion of odours. In addition we advise turning it off
every time 10/15 minutes after finishing cooking.
! We advise frying under the hood only under constant
supervision.
! It is forbidden to cook flambé under the hood
because there is the risk of causing a fire.
The best performance of the apparatus is obtained
with external expulsion: we advise using the hood in
this version if possible.
External exhausting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside by means
of a special pipe connected with the connection ring
located on top of the hood Diameter of the exhausting
pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring =
150mm.
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.
Filtering 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.
Maintenance
! It is always necessary to isolate the hood from the
power supply during cleaning and maintenance.
Therefore remove the plug.
We recommend carrying our maintenance regularly
(about every 10 days) to ensure efficacious and
constant performance of the hood.
Carbon filter

Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g)
90° that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h)

authority areas or, if envisaged by national laws on the
matter, resold to dealers at the same time as
UK
General safety
! The hood has been designed and constructed in
conformity with international safety regulations. These
warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be
carefully read.
• This apparatus has been designed for use by adults.
• Children and invalids are not allowed to use this
apparatus without supervision. Check that children do
not play with the apparatus.
• The premises must have sufficient ventilation when
the hood is being used at the same time as other
apparatuses that use gas and other fuels. If the hood
must be installed in a kitchen where there is a water-
heater or a gas heating system we recommend, for
safety reasons, not using the suction version. It is
therefore necessary to equip the apparatus with an
active carbon filter, in this way allowing recycling use.
• For safe performance, low pressure should not
exceed 0.04 mbar: in this way re-suction of the
expulsion gas will be avoided. This can be obtained
ensuring entry of air into the room through openings
that cannot be closed.
• The sucked air must not be conveyed in a conduit
used for the discharge of fumes from apparatuses
supplied with energy other than electricity.
• It is severely forbidden to cook food on the flame
under the hood.
• The use of naked flame damages the filters and can
cause fires. It must therefore be avoided in any case.
• Frying must be carried out under control to avoid the
overheated oil catching fire.
• As far as the technical and safety measures to adopt
for the discharge of fumes are concerned, keep strictly
to what is envisaged by the regulations of the
competent authorities.
