INSTALLING THE HOOD
1. Before starting the appliance installation,
please check that all components are not
damaged, in such a case contact your re-
tailer and do not carry out installation.
Before the installation of the Downdraft,
please remove the security piece you can
see in the picture (Fig. 1-2-3-4).
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the
following installation instructions.
• Use an exhausting pipe whose maximum
length does not exceed 5 meters.
• Limit the no. of elbows in the piping ,
since each elbow reduces the aspiration
efficiency of 1 linear meter. (Ex. : if you
use no. 2 x 90 ° elbows, the length of pip-
ing l must not exceed 3 meters).
• Avoid abrupt direction changes.
Avoid abrupt direction changes.
A
• Use a 150 mm constant diameter pipe for
the whole length.
• Use piping approved by standards in
force.
The manufacturer will not be answerable for
any capacity or noise problems caused by
failure to comply with the above instructions
and the warranty will be rendered null and
void.
2. Before making the opening, check that there
are no structural or other parts inside the
cabinet, where the appliance is to be placed,
which could hinder a proper installation.
Check that the dimensions of the Downdraft
and the ones of the cooktop are compatible
with the cabinet so that the installation can
be carried out properly.
3. Drill a 790x100 mm rectangular hole in the
rear side of the cook-top for the 90 cm ver-
sion and a 1090x100 mm hole for the 120
cm version. In the version with the motor al-
ready installed, remove the screws and the
suctioning unit in order to insert the down-
draft in the hole made.
In case of the glass version, insert the down-
draft in the cabinet, making sure that the
S-DD4
stainless steel edge under the glass adheres
perfectly to the cabinet surface (Fig. 5). In
case of the stainless steel version, apply the
counter frame in the hole made, using a fix-
ing sealer (Fig. 6) and then insert the down-
draft in the cabinet in such a way that the
edge and the counter frame are superim-
posed (Fig. 7).
4. Fix the downdraft inside the cabinet, using
the special fixing brackets supplied with the
product (Fig. 8a).
Insert the brackets in the lower side of the
downdraft (Fig. 8b) 13b), in such a way that
there is a 2 mm distance between the lower
side of bracket and the bottom of the cabi-
net (Fig. 8c).
This distance will allow the traction to be po-
sitioned downwards of the product, at the
moment of fixing, in order to have the stain-
less steel trim perfectly adhering with the
work surface.
Before inserting the screws, please make
sure that the appliance is perfectly perpen-
dicular with the work surface.
5. In the version of the Downdraft equipped
with motor, install the motor group adjust-
ing the air evacuation direction as required,
either downwards or upwards. After install-
ing the motor, connect the air ducts (Fig. 9).
The motor can be fitted either on the front or
back side of the downdraft.
After installing the motor, connect the air
ducts. (Fig. 10).
6. For versions with outside motor, place the
suction unit (outside motor) in a suitable area
and fit the exhaust air flue as illustrated. Pro-
ceed to fit the air outlet ducts between the
outside motor and the down draft. Select an
air outlet from the five possibilities (Fig. 11)
and fit the connection provided.
