Use 

Model with integrated suction motor 

The hood is supplied in the 

FILTERING

 version and is used  

without an extracted fumes discharger conduit. 
Fumes and steam are recycled through the 

F

 deflector. 

 
If you intend using the product in the 

SUCTION

 version, it is 

necessary to have an evacuation conduit going from the upper 

B

 exit to the extraction hole towards the exterior.   

In this case a connection ring has to be installed on the 

B

extraction hole and the carbon filter removed.  
A telescopic flue is available (as an accessory).  

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a 
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). 
If this is not possible, a multi-connection is supplied for tubes 
and discharge holes with a smaller diameter to pressure apply 

to the air outlet (connection flange).   
The hood will become a little noisier. 
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.  

Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it 
must be removed. 

Model without integrated suction motor 

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.  

Warning: Only use a peripheral suction unit with total 

absorption not higher than 250 W. 

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. 

You will notice a loss in capturing the fumes If the hood is 
positioned at a distance greater than that recommended. 

  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. 

Warning! 

Power cable replacement must be undertaken  by 

the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified 
person. 

Mounting 

Before beginning installation: 

• 

Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for 
the chosen installation area. 

•  Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also 

relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only 
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version. 

•  Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other 

supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with 
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing 
them and keeping them. 

• 

If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in 
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to 

rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective 
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect 
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for 
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective 
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware 
in it. 

• 

In addition check whether near the installation area of the 

hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) 
an electric socket is available and it is possible to 
connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only 
suction version).  

•  Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. 

installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the 
passage of the discharge tube). 

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. 
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.

• 

Apply three adhesive strips 

C 

to the back of the hood.

  If necessary (in the case of walls not perfectly 

perpendicular or in the presence of walls partly covered 

with tiles) apply two 

D

 spacers in correspondence with 

the definitive fixing holes (click fixing). 

• 

Trace a centre line on the wall to facilitate the montage 

(1)

, position the hole template so that the middle line 

printed on it corresponds to the centre line previously 
drawn and that the lower side of the grill corresponds to 
the lower part of the hood once mounted
