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 whose dismantling and assembly are
described here. These should be refitted when
installation is complete. See the relative
paragraph for dismantling.
• Remove the activated carbon filter/s if fitted
(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 supply and that you can connect the
venting pipe to the outside (only in the venting
mode).
• Carry out all the building work necessary (e.g.:
installation of an electrical plug and/or hole to
pass the venting pipe through).

• Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall up to the
ceiling that corresponds with the centre line;
this will make installation easier.
• Establish the most suitable distance from the
work surfaces according to your needs
(Important! Respect the minimum distances
specifically indicated in this instruction booklet),
draw a horizontal line on the wall corresponding
to this distance and apply the perforation layout:
the vertical centre line printed on the
perforation layout should correspond with the
centre line drawn on the wall; furthermore the
lower edge of the perforation layout should
correspond with the horizontal line drawn.
