GB INSTRUCTION ON MOUNTING AND USE Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. Installation The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 50 cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 65cm for gas or mixed cookers. The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B (Fig. 2) for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version – exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter (in the case of the model with two suction motors then two active carbon filters are required), a discharge tube, for the expulsion of fumes, should be mounted on the connection ring C (Fig. 7) situated on the top of the wall cabinet (discharge tube and fixing brackets are not supplied). The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied). Preliminary information for installation of the hood: Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off. 1. Fix the 2 brackets D (Fig. 1) to the side panel of the wall cabinet (one per side) with 2 screws for each bracket (align the bracket to lower border). Position the bracket to touch the back border of the wall cabinet, considering that the back border of the bracket corresponds to the back side of the cooker hood; If the cooker hood is provided with a spacer, in case of use, move the bracket forward to the same thickness as the spacer. Drill a hole on the ceiling of the wall cabinet to pass the discharge tube and the electrical cable (the quote indicated in Fig. 1 does not include the eventual spacer). 2 . Fix 2 brackets E (Fig. 2) to the sides of the cooker hood (one per side). a. remove the extractable part of the cooker hood; b. Remove the grease filter(s) and, if envisaged, the carbon filter(s). ttention, to be carried out only the first time the carbon filter is removed! To avoid damage during transport, the handle of the carbon filter is blocked with a screw. Remove the screw before dismantling every carbon filter; the screw is not to be reused. c. fix the brackets with two screws P per bracket from inside the cooker hood, affix them as more as possible upwards (air exit side) and then serrate the screws. 3 . Fix the aesthetic mask Q from the inside of the cooker hood using two screws, (if supplied - Fig. 3 – the L tabs present on the body of the cooker hood serve as further fixing for the mask and should be visible once the mask has been fitted) and then finally affix the spacer M with three Clips from the external part of the cooker hood (if supplied - Fig. 4). 4 . Insert the cooker hood in the wall cabinet, ensuring to position the cooker hood bracket E above the wall cabinet bracket D (Fig. 5). Thread the electric cable through the appropriate perforation. 5 . Block the cooker hood with two screws on the frontal part (Fig. 5 – one per side). 6 . Connect the cable to the electrical mains, only when the installation is completed. 7 . If the cooker hood should not touch perfectly with the lower border of the wall cabinet then regulate by loosening the screws P of the brackets E mounted on the cooker hood (Fig. 2), it will be possible to regulate the perfect matching of the cooker hood and wall cabinet, once regulated tighten the screws. 8 . Regulate the gliding of the extractable drawer in relation to the depth of the wall cabinet by acting on the two skirting boards F (Fig. 6). In this way it will be possible to place the front in line with the wall cabinet (Fig. 6). a. Loosen the screws on the skirting board F; b. Move the ledges backwards or forwards depending on requirement. c. Lock in the screws on the ledges. 9 . Install a discharge tube on the connection ring C supplied, preferably with a diameter equivalent to the connection ring (Fig. 7). the discharge tube should be sufficiently long to reach outside (Suction version) or the ceiling of the wall cabinet (Filter version). 1 0 . Fix the connection ring C (snap into place), at the upper exit of the cooker hood. To ease the installation, the ring is equipped with an index G that should correspond to the appropriate guide H placed on the upper air exit. 1 1 . Complete the installation of the discharge tube. 12. Reinstall, if envisaged, the carbon and the grease filter(s) and connect the hood to the power network and check its perfect functioning. Electrical connection The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with local standards in force. Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the contacts.
