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, 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 flumes (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.

  • 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.
