CONNECTION

AIR VENT
(for the suction versions)
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet
(connection flange).
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.
• Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
• Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
• Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
• Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
• The duct must be made of certified material.
• The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.
FILTERING OR DUCTING?
Your hood is ready for use in the suction version.
To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.
Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is supplied or must be bought
separately.
Note: If supplied, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may be installed
on the hood.
Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering version is present in
this manual.
Ducting Version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe
connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased separately. Diameter of the
exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. In the horizontal runs the exhausting
pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room
to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Filter Version
The aspirated air will be degreased and deodourised before being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on
activated charcoal.
