Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating!
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
specifically indicated.
The premises where the appliance is installed must be
sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood is used together
with other gas combustion devices or other fuels.
The ducting system for this appliance must not be connected
to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any
other purpose such as discharging exhaust fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely
prohibited. The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the
filters and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be
avoided in all circumstances.
Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that
the oil does not overheat and ignite.

The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and
outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH).
This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance
instructions provided in this manual). Failure to follow the
instructions provided in this user guide regarding the cleaning
of the hood and filters will lead to the risk of fires. Do not use
or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted due to
the possible risk of electric shocks. We will not accept any
responsibility for any faults, damage or fires caused to the
appliance as a result of the non-observance of the instructions
included in this manual.

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 50cm from electric cookers
and 65cm 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, 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.

Mounting

This hood is designed for fitting in a cabinet or on some other
support.

• 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

• 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

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).

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
