3 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 DISMANTLING AND RE-POSITIONING OF THE GREASE FILTERS
To mount the hood or insert the carbon filters, it is necessary to gain access to the inside,
therefore the grease filters should be removed.
Attention: some cooker hoods are equipped with blind grease filters for side suction that cover the
real grease filters; in these cases before removing the grease filters it is necessary to take away
the blind filters by gripping them from the side and pulling them downwards. (Fig. 5).
TO EXTRACT a grease-filter (see direction of arrow in FIG. 5):
• pull the lever and take the grease filter out pulling it downwards.
TO RE-POSITION the grease-filter (SEE FIG. 5 opposite direction to the arrow):
• insert the back side of the grease filter into its groove;
• pull the lever downwards and insert the front part of the filter;
• release the lever and make sure that the pin of the handle enters into its hole.
3.2 FITTING AND REMOVAL OF EVENTUAL CARBON FILTERS
If you wish to use the hood as a filtering hood, it is necessary to fit the carbon filters.
The carbon filters which contain activated carbon ARE OPTIONAL, and can be bought separately.
We have 2 different kinds of carbon filters. Once you have dismantled them, it is possible to
recognize the kind of filter used in the hood (see FIG. 6).
In case the mounted filter is the one shown in FIG. 6a, follow the following procedure for
mounting:
• pay attention to the shape of the joints;
• insert the back side into its groove;
• lift the front side of the carbon filter, until it is blocked in position;
• clamp the filter by rotating the 2 knobs at 90°.
To remove a carbon filter proceed as follows: (see FIG. 6A, opposite direction of arrows):
• rotate the two knobs at 90°;
• pull the front side of the filters downwards;
• fully extract, by removing the back of the filter from the groove.
In case the carbon filters used are the ones shown in Fig. 6b, (pair of filters), proceed as
follows for mounting:
• grip the external part of the filter (the convex one);
• lay the filter on the side of the motor so that the joints in alu can enter the grooves;
• rotate the filter 60 ° in the direction shown by the arrow;
• to be sure that the filter is correctly installed, try to move this from the motor to the outside. If
it does not move, it means it has been correctly fitted.
Repeat the above for the other filter
To remove both carbon filters proceed as follows for both of them (see FIG.6b, DIRECTION
OPPOSITE TO THE ARROW):
• grasp the external part of the filter;
• rotate the filter 60° in the direction opposite to the one shown in the picture, the carbon filter
will release the joint in alu;
• grasp the filter and pull this far from its housing;
• repeat the above for the other filter.
If you have a wall cooker hood (FIG.7), see par. 3.3.
If you have a island cooker hood with external chimney (FIG.10), see par 3.4.
3.3 MOUNTING THE HOOD TO THE WALL
3.3.1 PREPARATION OF THE DECORATIVE CHIMNEY ATTACHMENTS
To mount the decorative chimney, it is necessary to arrange for a ceiling attachment.
The support bracket is of such a shape that it can be fixed to the ceiling or the side wall (SEE
FIG. 7).
To fix the bracket, proceed as follows:
• decide exactly where on the ceiling (or on the wall), the support bracket for the chimney is to
be fitted;
• make support and safety fixing holes with a drill;
• fit the screw plugs in the holes;
• fit the screws in the plateholes and in the plugs;
• tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
3.3.2 FIXING TO THE WALL
To fix the hood to the wall, proceed as follows:
• based on the technical drawing, mark the position of the support and safety fixing holes on the
wall with a pencil, in such a way that the base of the hood is at the distance from the cooker
hob, as indicated in par. (2.1) and that it is horizontal. Mark the position of the holes with a
pencil making a small cross on the wall.
• drill the support and safety fixing holes in the positions marked;
• fit the metal hooks to the support holes (see FIG.8) complete with plug and screws,
completely inserting the plastic plug and keeping the curved part on the outside and facing
downwards; in the safety fixing holes only insert the plastic plug;
• tighten the support screws;
• rest the back of the hood on the wall and insert the hooks into the corresponding slots;
• make sure the hood is stable;
• holding the cross notched screwdriver in your hand; slowly tighten the horizontal alignment
screws one at a time, until the hood is perfectly horizontal above the cooker hob. The use of a
level will help in this operation;
• insert the screws into the safety holes;
• tighten the safety holes with the screwdriver.
3.3.3 MOUNTING OF THE SCAVENGING PIPE
If the hood is to be used as a suction hood, to apply the pipe proceed as follows:
• measure the distance to be covered by the pipe and obtain parts of the right size;
• insert the hood outlet mouthpiece into the pipe and block it;
• connect the lengths of pipe up to the hole towards the outside;
• connect the pipe to the end which goes outside;
• make electrical connection (see par.4).
3.3.4 MOUNTING OF THE DECORATIVE CHIMNEY
The decorative chimney shown in FIG. 7 is composed of 2 parts of metal sheet which slide one
inside the other. To mount the chimney please proceed as follows:
• the 2 parts of the chimney are mounted as shown in FIG. 7;
• position the base part of the chimney with holes matching the ones on the hood;
• insert small screws on the bottom of the chimey and fix them;
• let the telescopic part of the chimney slide to the height necessary to touch the ceiling and
come into contact with the chimney bracket;
• tighten the screws on the chimney bracket to the ceiling.
3.4 MOUNTING THE ISLAND COOKER HOOD WITH EXTERNAL CHIMNEY
The island cooker hood is intended to be mounted either directly on the kitchen ceiling or onto a
stable suspended false ceiling structure.
Check that the minimum distance between the bottom of the hood and the upper part of the hob
is in conformity with indications in par. 2.1.
• Mark the centre of the position on the ceiling at which the hood will be mounted;
• according to the technical drawing, mark on the ceiling the position of the fixing points;
• using a drill suitable for building materials, make the fixing holes and insert plugs so that they
are flush with the ceiling;
• Mount the support structure to the ceiling FIG.9;
• Fix the upper chimney to the support structure FIG.10, by means of 2 screws;
