a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current
regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-
current category III, in accordance with installation
instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains
supply and checking the efficient function, always check that
the mains cable is correctly assembled.
Mounting
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for
the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the
other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and
mount it.
To remove see also the relative paragraphs.
• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also
relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only
if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other
supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with
screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing
them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for
assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware
in it.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the
hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted)
an electric socket is available and it is possible to
connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only
suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g.
installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the
passage of the discharge tube).
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must
verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this
appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as the final
height of the hood depends on this.
Note: In some cases the upper section of the lattice is
fixed to the lower section with one or more screws,
eventually check and remove them temporarily to allow
the adjustment of the support structure.
2. Fix the two sections of the structure with a total of 16
screws (four per corner).
Note: If envisaged, insert the reinforcement bracket in
the lattice and put it on top of the motor unit.
The bracket should be fixed in place again only after the
perforated frame has been fitted to the ceiling.

3. Apply the drilling template to the ceiling vertically over the
cooking top (the centre of the template should
correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides
should be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the
side of the template with the word FRONT (or with the
arrows) corresponds to the control panel side). Connect
the electricity.
4. Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs – 4 plugs for
fixture), screw the outer screws leaving a space of about 1
cm. between the screw head and the ceiling.

5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the
motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and
fixing brackets are not supplied).
For filter versions (5F), fit deflector F to the truss and
secure it to the bracket supplied using 4 screws, then
connect the exhaust pipe to the connection ring located on
the deflector.

6. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box
corresponds to the side of the control panel with hood
assembled.
7. Tighten the 4 screws.
8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free
holes for secure fixing.
Note - only for the suction Version: connect the upper
end of the discharge tube to the discharge device toward
the exterior (e.g. hole in the ceiling).
9. Fix the reinforcement bracket (see operation 2) to the
lattice in as intermediate a position as possible.
Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power supply,
only turn on the power supply upon completion of assembly.

10. Secure the hood to the truss using 8 screws.
CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box
corresponds to the side of the control panel with hood
assembled.

11. Connect the electricity of the command instrument panel
and the lamps.
