read all of the information contained
in this chapter and also in the "IM‐
PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"
section.
Installation parts
4 screws, ¹/₄" x 4 ⁵/₁₆"
(7 x 110 mm) and
4 plugs, ³/₈" x 3 ¹/₈" (10 x 80 mm)

ceiling (not for use in USA / CDN).
The screws and plugs are designed
for use in solid ceilings only.
Use different fasteners for other ceil‐
ing construction types. Make sure
that the ceiling can support the load.

ers.
14 screws M³/₁₆" x ⁵/₁₆"
(M4 x 8 mm)
for securing the spacer frame and se‐
curing the hood to the installation
frame.
1 screw M³/₁₆" x ⁵/₈" (M4 x 16 mm)
for securing the chimney.

tion mode
(not supplied, available as an optional
accessory). The kit includes a direc‐
tional unit, aluminum hose, and hose
clips.

Installation recommendations
– We also recommend a distance of at
least 25 ¹/₂" (650 mm) above electric
cooktops to provide more workspace
and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into con‐
sideration. Users should have ample
space to work comfortably on the
cooktop and reach the ventilation
hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the dis‐
tance from the cooktop, the less ef‐
fective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the
cooktop. The hood should be posi‐
tioned centrally over the cooktop, not
to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and disas‐
semble in case a service call is nec‐
essary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the po‐
sition of cupboards, shelves, ceilings
or decorative elements in the vicinity
of the ventilation hood.
Structural support
The hood must be attached to rigid
structural framing that is supported
in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or
to the ceiling joists directly. Do not
attach the plate directly to the ceiling
with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.
Removing the protective film
The housing components are covered
by a protective film to prevent them
from becoming damaged during trans‐
port.
Please remove this film before instal‐
ling the housing components. It can
be peeled off easily without any addi‐
tional tools.

Draw two intersecting lines on the
ceiling.
For vented mode:
– Place a section of the exhaust duct‐
ing in the ceiling and feed it down
through the cross-sectional area as
illustrated. Exhaust ducting of ap‐
prox. 27 ⁹/₁₆" (700 mm) length is re‐
quired between the ceiling and the
hood exhaust socket.
– Secure the exhaust ducting to the ex‐
haust socket, e.g. with a hose clip
(available as an optional accessory)
on flexible ducting.
Place the power cord and guide it
through the ceiling in the area shown.
A power cord approx. 27 ⁹/₁₆"
(700 mm) in length is required be‐
tween the ceiling and the hood con‐
nectors.

Installation

Use a knife to release the four
spacers and the two covers from the
spacer frame supplied.
Use the spacer frame as a drilling
template. Place it on the ceiling with
the arrows pointing forwards. Using
the notches, align the spacer frame
on the intersecting lines and make
pencil marks for the drill holes.
Drill four holes ³/₈" (10 mm), ap‐
prox. 4 ¹/₂" (115 mm) deep for the
plugs supplied.
Place the four plugs in the holes and
screw in the four screws so that they
protrude by approx. 1 ³/₁₆" (30 mm).

Installation
37
The spacer frame can be installed be‐
tween the chimney and the ceiling. This
creates a shadow which gives the illu‐
sion of a gap between the ceiling and
the chimney. This is useful if the ceiling
is not level or is uneven. The hood is
aligned vertically with the spacers sup‐
plied. Visual irregularities between the
chimney and the ceiling are then con‐
cealed by the shadow.
If you wish to install the hood with the
spacer frame, remove the four inserts
from the fixing holes.
Mount the spacer frame onto the in‐
stallation frame.

Installation
38
Hang the installation frame on the
four screws. The front of the frame is
marked with a "V".
If using the spacer frame, place the
two covers into the fixing holes.
Align the installation frame and se‐
cure it with the screws.
The spacers, which were removed
from the spacer frame at the start,
can be used to align the hood verti‐
cally.

Installation
39
Holding the installation frame secure‐
ly, remove the two fixing screws and
extend the installation frame to its
maximum length.
Replace the screws.
The directional unit from recirculation
kit DUI 32 (optional accessory) is instal‐
led for recirculation mode (RM):
Bend the four retaining tabs on the
installation frame outwards.
Place the power cord inside the in‐
stallation frame.
Fit the directional unit as shown, not‐
ing the marking on the front.
Bend the retaining tabs back and ap‐
prox. 45° inwards to hold the direc‐
tional unit in place.
