BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with the installation of your appliance, check that it is not damaged. Otherwise, do
not proceed with the installation and contact your dealer.
You should also make sure that the dimensions of the appliance and its conduit are compatible with
your kitchen and ceiling height.
INSTALLATION
This appliance has to be installed by 2 people.
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.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this manual may result in electrical hazards.
In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.
Detailed installation procedure
The hood can be fixed directly on the wall above your cooker or under a furniture. Either way, the
installation procedure will be the same.
1. Take the dimensions of your cooker in order to have the range hood centred above it. Stick the
installation and drilling template on the wall above your cooker, taking care to comply with the required
minimum distance.
Note: 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 50cm from electric
cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Beware: the pattern is designed for 2 different range hood dimensions, therefore you must
make sure to conform to the dimensions of your appliance (60cm).
2. On the wall, mark the position of 3 of the 4 holes showed on the template (2 upper + 1 lower), and drill
the holes by using a drill bit with an 8mm diameter. In the upper holes, insert the supplied wall plugs
(8mm diameter, 40mm depth) and screws (5mm diameter, 45mm depth).
