• 1 HOW TO INSTALL THE HOOD
35
In order to ensure the Downdraft pro-
per operation, installation instruc-
tions shall be carefully followed.
1) Drill a 507x114 mm hole in the per-
fect centre of the two hobs (g. 1).
2) In case of gas hobs, the minimum di-
stance from the downdraft edge to the
hob rear edge shall be of a least 60 mm.
3) Before making the hole, check that
there are no structural or other parts in-
side the cabinet, where the appliance is
to be placed, which could hinder a pro-
per installation. Check that the overall
dimensions of the Downdraft and its
motor are compatible with the cabinet
so that installation can be carried out
properly.
4) Place the suctioning motor under
the appliance, making sure to match
the downdraft air outlet with the mo-
tor air inlet (g.2). The size of the duct
used to connect the two appliance is
220x90mm, therefore it shall be cut ac-
cording to the cabinet height. Rotate the
motor by directing the air outlet towards
either right or left , as shown in g. 3,
based on your installation needs. The
motor air inlet shall be moved as much
as backwards as possible: to do that ,
rotate the ange as shown in gure 3A.
Figure 4 shows the motor directed to-
wards the two options available: one
motor has the air outlet oriented to the
right and the other one to the left.
5) Apply the glue on the lower side of
the frame (g. 5).
6) Fit the Downdraft inside the cabinet
by inserting it from above , without re-
moving the glass and panel protections.
7) The appliance frame shall perfectly
adhere to the kitchen upper worktop.
8) Secure the hood inside the cabinet
by using the two brackets provided
. Fix the two brackets on the sides of
the appliance and then couple them, as
shown in g. 6.
9) Fasten the clamping screws, as
shown in g. 7, using a screwdriver ra-
ther than an electric drill. Be careful not
to excessively tighten the screws, as it
may damage the appliance.
If the cabinet dimensions do not allow
the use of the brackets shown in gures
6 and 7, other brackets suitable for oor-
xing are provided with the appliance. In
such a case, x the brackets either on
the front or rear side of the downdraft, as
shown in gure 8, then secure the ap-
pliance using the two oor-screws, as
shown in g. 9.
Fit the air exhaust duct ( not provided
with the appliance). Connect the other
end of the duct towards the outside of
the cabinet if you choose to have your
hood working in ltering mode or to-
wards the outside of the building if you
choose to have your hood working in
suctioning mode.
Caution: do not drill any other hole
on the appliance, in order prevent any
damage on the internal sliding com-
ponents and on the electric ones, as
well.
10) Connect the appliance to the power
supply.
11) Open the glass front panel, (see the
‘How the hood works’ section) then take
the grease lter from the packaging and
t it, as shown in g. 10.
USAGE
This appliance is intended to suck coo-
king fumes, greases and steam. It has
been designed to work in both suctioning
mode, with outside evacuation, and lte-
ring mode.
Exhausting piping is not supplied with
the appliance.
FILTERING VERSION
In case fumes and vapour cannot be
discharged to the outside, the applian-
ce can be used in the ltering mode,
Activated charcoal lters are required in
this operation mode (g. 10). The air re-
cycled through the charcoal lters is then
re-circulated into the kitchen, thanks to
a duct conveying the air on one side of
the cabinet.
