the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue
Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing the protective film (Fig.3).
warning!If your appliance model features the lower connector with a tab, before fixing it in place bend the tab inwards using a pair of pliers, as illustrated in figure 5, step1.
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the decorative flue. If your appliance is to be installed in the ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust opening. Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper flue (Fig.4). Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.4) in such a way that it is in line with your hood and respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2. Connect the flange C to the air exhaust hole using a connection pipe (Fig.5 - Stage 2).
Insert the upper flue into the lower flue. Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws B provided (Fig.5 - Stage 2), extract the upper flue up to the bracket and fix it with the screws B (Fig.4).
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a filtering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the installation instructions.
• Filtering version
Install the hood and the two flues as described in the paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version. To assemble the filtering flue refer to the instructions contained in the kit.
If the kit is not provided, order it from your dealer as accessory.
The filters must be applied to the suction unit positioned inside the hood. They must be centred by turning them 90 degrees until the stop catch is tripped (Fig.8).
