INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To install the hood proceed by fitting the
components in the following order:
4.1 - Fitting of upper telescopic frame “TS”
4.2 - Fitting of lower telescopic frame “TI”
4.3 - Setting the hood for re-circulation or
evacuation
4.4 - Connection to the mains supply
4.5 - Fitting the chimney
4.6 - Fitting the canopy
4.7 - Electrical connection of controls and
functional test
4.1 - Fitting of upper telescopic frame “TS”
The frame is suitable for fixing to the ceiling or
to a wooden buttress as illustrated on page 4
of adequate thickness and well secured to the
ceiling or other carrying structure.
Remember that the recycled air can be
directed in four different directions: such
choice must be made when securing the
upper frame (see point “d”).
a - Separate the lower frame “TI” (6C) from
the upper part “6A” by loosening the four
retaining screws “6B” with the socket head
screw wrench provided “6D”.
b - Remove the screws “3A” and pull out the
upper pipe “S”(3B) of the telescopic chimney.
c - Using a plumb line or similar tool, mark the
centre on the ceiling or buttress from the
centre of the cooking appliance.
d - (fig. 5) Use the drilling template “5A”
provided to mark the centre on the ceiling or
wooden buttress and align one of the two axes
(A or B) of the template parallel with the long
side of the hob “5C” bearing in mind in which
direction you want the filtered air to exit.
Vent direction 1 or 2, as indicated on the
template, is determined during the subsequent
fitting phase of the lower frame (par. 4.2).
Mark the position of the 4 holes on the
template, plus the power cable hole.
e - Position “5E” indicates the useful area to
pass the mains cable.
f - Drill the holes as follows:
- ceiling: 4 holes Ø 10 mm for securing the
upper frame
1 hole Ø 10 mm to pass the mains cable
- buttress: 4 holes Ø 8 mm for securing the
upper frame
1 hole Ø 10 mm to pass the mains cable.
g -For extraction mode with ceiling vent
only
Use the template provided to mark the ø 125
mm hole on the ceiling for ducting when the
range hood is to be installed in the extraction
mode.
h -Fitting the hood to the ceiling
Attention: Due to the many differing types of
ceiling construction, the choice of fixings is left
to the discretion of the installer.
It is necessary to emphasise that the fitting
has to be absolutely accurate because of the
weight of the cooker hood and because of the
flexing caused by accidental lateral stresses
on the appliance.
Only the following types of ceiling are suitable
for installing the island cooker hood:
1 - Solid concrete ceiling: use dowels for
concrete (not supplied).
2 - Solid wooden buttress ceiling: use Ø 10
mm wood screws with a minimum length of
120 mm (not supplied).
3 - Cavity ceiling with inner empty space: use
screws and dowels appropriate for the
thickness of the ceiling.
11
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Once fixed, make sure that the basis is
absolutely stable even when the metal frame
is subjected to lateral stresses.
4 - If the ceiling is not strong enough in the
area where the hood is to be fixed, the
installer must strengthen the area adequately
so that it can withstand the weight of the hood.
i -When fitting the hood to a wooden
buttress: secure the frame to the base of the
buttress using the four M6 x 80 mm nuts and
bolts provided.
4.2 - Fitting the lower telescopic frame “TI”
a - Turn the lower telescopic frame “TI” (6C)

vent:
“6U” or rotating the frame “6C” in the
opposite direction.
b - Connect the lower frame “TI” (6C) to the
upper frame “TS” (6A) and secure by
tightening the 4 screws “6B” using the socket
head screw wrench provided “6D”, adjusting
the height from the hob and bearing in mind
that the canopy item to be fitted subsequently
is 7 cm high.
In any event, in this position, the lower part of
the frame must not be positioned at less than
72 cm from the underlying hob.
4.3 - Setting the hood for evacuation or re-
circulation
1 - Setting for evacuation:
a - Apply the reducing spigot “7B” to the
upper part of the extraction unit “7D”.
b - Connect spigot “7B” to the external
ducting by means of rigid or flexible duct “7G”
(not provided) to be fixed using clamps “7F”
provided.
c - Remove any charcoal filter in the lower part
of the canopy (see par. 3.2 - part two).
2 - Setting for re-circulation:
a - Apply the reducing spigot “7B” to the
upper part of the extraction unit “7D”.
b - Fit the recycling spigot “7A” to the
reducing spigot “7B”, directing it in the
position chosen for air evacuation.
c - Fit the charcoal filter inside the canopy
(see par. 3.2 - part two) after power connec-
tions have been done (par. 4.7).
4.4 - Electrical connection
a - Always carefully follow all instructions in
par. 3 concerning safety.
b - Connection to mains supply must be done
by passing the power cable through the centre
