Installation; Electrical Connection - Whirlpool AKR 511 IX Instruction On Mounting And Use Manual

connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring
mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).
Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.
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.

Installation

Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the hood
should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.
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 75cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.

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. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area 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.
Mounting
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.
This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.
Fig. 5-6-7-8-9
Remove the grease filter/s and the carbon filter frame.
During electrical connection ensure the power supply is
disconnected at the domestic main switch.
1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as the final
height of the hood depends on this.
Note: In some cases the upper section of the lattice is
fixed to the lower section with one or more screws,
eventually check and remove them temporarily to allow
the adjustment of the support structure.
2. Fix the two sections of the structure with a total of 16
screws (four per corner).
Apply one or two brackets to the upper section for
extensions greater than the minimum (on the basis of that
envisaged supplied) to reinforce it.
Proceed as follows for this purpose:
a. Slightly widen the fixing brackets so that they can be
applied to the exterior of the structure.
b. Position the reinforcement bracket immediately above
the fixing point of the two sections of the structure and fix
with a total of 8 screws (2 per corner).
If supplied, fix the second reinforcement bracket in a
position equidistant between the first reinforcement
bracket and the upper side of the lattice, fix with 8 screws
(2 per corner).
Note: in positioning and fixing the reinforcement bracket/s
check that these do not prevent fixing the discharge tube
(suction version) or the baffle (filtering version) easily.
3. Fix the flange on the hood exhaust hole with 2 screws.
4. Remove the adhesive tape which fixes the electronic box
to the motor case temporarily.
5. Fix the electronic box.
6. Apply the perforation diagram vertically over the cooking
top to the ceiling (the centre of the diagram should
correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides
should be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the
side of the diagram with the word FRONT corresponds to
the control panel). Make the electrical connection.
7. Make holes as indicated (8 holes for 8 wall dowels),
Screw in 4 screws into the holes indicated in the drawing
leaving a space between the head of the screw and the
ceiling of about 1 cm.
8. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the
motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and
fixing brackets are not supplied).
9. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box
corresponds to the side of the control panel with hood
assembled.
10. Tighten the 4 screws.
11. Insert and tighten another 4 screws in the remaining free
holes for secure fixing.
12. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power
supply, only turn on the power supply upon completion of
assembly.
13. For extractor versions (10A), connect the other end of the
exhaust pipe to the flue.
For filter versions (10F), fit deflector F to the truss and
secure it to the bracket supplied using 4 screws, then
connect the exhaust pipe to the connection ring located on
the deflector.
14. Couple the two upper sections of the hood to cover the
trellis so that one of the slots present on the sections is
placed on the same side of the control panel (connection
box) and the other on the opposite side.
