! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow
angle:90°)
Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross section.
! Use a duct with the smoothest inside possible.
! The duct material must be approved by law/certified.
! Do not connect the hood to flue gas exhaust pipes (boilers,
fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
! For the discharge of air to be evacuated, comply with the
requirements specified by competent authorities. Furthermore, the
air to be discharged must not be evacuated through a hole in the
wall unless specifically intended for this purpose.
! Fit air inlets in the room in order to prevent the hood from creating
a negative pressure in the room (which must not exceed 0.04 mbar);
if the hood is used simultaneously with non-electric appliances
(gas, oil, coal stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be sucked in by the
heat source.
DUCTLESS VERSION (B)
The hood purifies the air and recycles clean air back into the room.
For this version a theft-proof cover, a reducer and a charcoal filter
are required .
MOUNTING OPERATIONS
!
WARNING: Very heavy product; hood handling and installation
must be carried out by at least two persons.
!
WARNING: Wear gloves and goggles when carrying out installation
and maintenance operations.
!
WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing devices in
accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
!The minimum distance between the support surface for cookware
on the hob and the lowest side of the hood must be not less than
500 mm from electric cookers and 600 mm from gas or mixed
cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
! Expansion wall plugs/fixing anchors 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 hold the
weight of the hood.
! In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre
or a similar qualified person.
