with the cupboards on either side (fig. 2).

In some models the rear hooks can only be adjusted horizontally (fig. 3), in any case, after hooking

the hood to the wall it will always be necessary to adjust the depth of the metal spacer on the lower

part of the hood (fig. 4).

3.3 - Fixing to cupboards on either side

Drill the side cupboards using the cardboard template provided, remove the screen (see paragraph 3.1).

Remove the ventilator grille (fig. 5), fix the hood to the cupboards using the 3.5 x 16 screws provided,

screwing them from the inside (fig. 6).

3.4 - Ducting or recycling connection

1 - Ducting connection

Kitchen fumes are ducted to the outside of the building through an outlet pipe (fig. 7).

The outlet from the hood must be connected to external ducting by means of rigid or flexible pipes

Ø 100 or 120 mm, to be fixed using suitable pipe connectors (not provided). Check whether or not

there are active charcoal filters fitted in the hood: in the ducting version they should not be installed

(see paragraph 3.3 part 2).

2 - Recycling connection

The air is filtered through the active charcoal filter and returned into the room through the hole in the

top of the hood (fig. 8).

Check that the active charcoal filters are fitted inside the hood (see paragraph 3.3, part 2).

3.5 - Electrical connection and working test

1 - The safety measures 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 of paragraph 2 are to be strictly observed.

2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that the worktop illumination, motor and

speeds work properly.

Part 2 - OPERATION AND

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1 - SAFETY WARNINGS

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of part 1 are strictly observed.

Moreover, special attention must be paid to the following warnings during the use and maintenance

of the cooker hood:

1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended by the

manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4 hours per day).

1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of the hob

uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed. Switch off the gas

before removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave the hob unattended.

1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame from licking

round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration

of heat.

1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for

the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.
