INSTALLATION-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Preliminary information for installing the hood:
Expansion plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of ceilings. However, a qualified technician
must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of ceiling. The ceiling must be strong
enough to take the weight of the hood.
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, and
remember that with installation completed the hood must be at least 60 cm above the cook-top for
electric cookers and 75 cm for gas or mixed cookers.
2. Fix the two sections of the structure using 8 screws.
3. Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the cooktop (the centre of the diagram must match the
centre of the cooktop and the edges must be parallel to the sides of the cooktop - the side of the diagram
with the wording FRONT corresponds to the control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.
4. Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs - 4 plugs for fixture), screw the outer screws using the key supplied)
leaving a space of about 1 cm. between the screw head and the ceiling.
5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the motor compartment connection ring (exhaust
pipe and fixing brackets are not supplied).
6. 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.
7. Tighten the 4 screws.
8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free holes for secure fixing.
9. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power supply, only turn on the power supply upon
completion of assembly.
10. Hook the hood onto the truss, ensuring it fits properly - to hook the hood onto the truss partially tighten
4 screws (see illustrations 10 and 12).
11. Secure the hood to the truss using two screws; this will also help centre the two sections.
12. Tighten the 4 screws securing the truss to the hood.
13. For extractor versions (13A), connect the other end of the exhaust pipe to the flue.
For filter versions (13F), 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. Fit the nuts with fixing hooks supplied inside the top and bottom sections of the flues at the rectangular
slots. A total of 10 nuts must be fitted.
15. Join the two top sections of the flue to cover the truss so that one of the slots on the sections is situated
on the same side of the control panel and the other on the opposite side.
Screw the two sections together with 4 screws (2 each side - see the plan diagram for joining the two
sections).
16. Fix the top flue assembly to the truss, near the ceiling, with two screws (one each side).
17. Carry out electrical connection of control panel (17a) and bulbs (17b).
18. Join the two bottom sections of the flue covering the truss (16a - the part with the control panel
corresponds to the front of the hood and must be fitted on the same side of the connection box M) using
6 screws (16b - 3 each side, see the plan diagram for joining the two sections).
19. Insert the bottom section of the flue in its seat so that it completely covers the motor compartment and
electrical connection box, then secure it from inside the hood using two screws.
20. Apply the 2 tabs (supplied) to cover the fixing points of the bottom flue (CAUTION! THE BOTTOM FLUE
TABS ARE THE NARROWER AND SHALLOWER ONES).
The wider and deeper tabs are those used for the top flue, and must be cut to size.
21. Turn the mains power on again at the central electrical panel and check for correct hood operation.
