- Repairs must only be carried out by an approved specialist.
- You should regularly clean the filter cartridge.
- The hood should never be used over a combustible fuel burning stove (wood, coal, etc).

The controls on your hood Fig.1
In the case of a kitchen heated by a device connected to a chimney (for
example a stove) the "recycling" version of the hood should be installed. Do not
use the hood without metal filters.
Suitable ventilation should be ensured for the room when the suction hood is used at
the same time as appliances using gas or another combustible fuel.

The hood must be installed in conformity with the applicable regulations
concerning the ventilation of premises. In France, these regulations are
detailed in DTU 61.1 from the CSTB. In particular, the evacuated air must not
be channelled into a duct used to evacuate fumes from appliances using gas or
other combustible fuels. Disused ducts may only be used after approval from a
competent specialist.
The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the
hood must be 70 cm. If the instructions for the hob installed under the hood
specify a distance of more than 70 cm, this requirement must be respected.
Installing your hood ?
If you possess an outlet to the exterior:fig. 4
Your hood can be connected to this using a flue (minimum Ø 125 mm, enamelled, made from
aluminium, flexible or made from a non-flammable material). If your flue is below 125 mm in
diameter, you must obligatorily use the "recycling" mode.
If you do not possess an outlet to the exterior: fig. 5
All of our appliances can be used in recycling mode.
In this case, you should add an active carbon filter which will keep in odours.
- Draw a horizontal line 70 cm minimum from the cooktop.
- Draw a vertical line on the wall running from the ceiling to the lower edge of the hood.
- Place the mounting hole template against the wall (fig. 2).
- Drill the 6 holes. Insert the 6 wall plugs.
- Screw up the top two screws of the hood, but not completely - allow them to
protrude by 5 mm.
- Remove the metal filter.
- Attach the suction hood to the two screws (fig. 3).
- Screw up the two screws at the bottom.
Assembling your hood
Connecting up your hood
This appliance is delivered with a H 05 VVF power cable with 2 conduc-
tors of 0.75 mm2 (neutral, live). This must be
connected to the 220-240 V single phase mains network via a CEI 60083
standard plug which must remain accessible following installation. We will
not be liable in the event of an accident arising following incorrect installation.
The fuse for your installation must be 10 or 16A. If the power cable is dama-
ged, call the after sales service department in order to avoid danger.
Adjust the level of your hood before fully tightening up all four screws.
