FIRST TIME USE
When the rangehood is first switched on, it may give off an unpleasant smell. This is due to the
bonding agent used for the insulation panels within the rangehood.
Run the rangehood on the highest setting for 15 minutes before using the rangehood with the
cooktop on.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find
descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it, and don’t connect the appliance if it has been
damaged in transport.
WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may
result in electrical hazards.
Only a licensed professional may connect the appliance - damage caused by incorrect installation is
not covered under the warranty. Ensure that the panels of the cabinetry around the rangehood are
heat resistant, and the glues and materials can withstand temperatures of at least 70 degrees Celsius.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
Before fitting the hood to the wall unit: Remove the filters, disconnect the wires, remove the frame by
undoing the 4 screws on the outer edge.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and lowest
part of the range hood is 650mm.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flume through a pipe with minimum diameter of 120mm. Do not
connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustible fumes.
Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

Chapter 1 Ready, set up, go 7
INSTALLATION
• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or
improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm
(some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working
dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside
of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm.
The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes
(boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances
(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be
guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas.
The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air
in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used
in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the
negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes
being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to
appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance specified above, this has to be taken into account.
Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood. Warning: Failure to install the screws or
fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
• Allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. The disconnection may
be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.
