Step 5: INSTALLATION

The hood is particularly suitable for installation in a flue or chimney.

To ensure optimum extraction performance (especially important for kitchen island solutions):

Install the hood as high as possible within the structure

The structure must cover the entire cooking area.

CAUTION – Ensure that the minimum distance between the cooktop and the hood is maintained – 30”.

1.Make sure all connections (ductwork, blower, remote control, power supply) are complete.

2.Remove the filter grill (see operating instructions).

3.Push the hood up into the installation opening until the installation aid locks into position at the front and rear.

4.Mount the hood. Note: The screws must be consis- tently and diametrically tightened.

Note: If hood must be removed, unlock the mounting aids by pushing them inward.

Step 6: VERIFY INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND COOKTOP ALIGNMENT

Before performing this procedure, verify that all packing materials were removed and that the grease filters have been properly installed. Refer to the Care and Use Manual for instructions regarding filter installation.

A.Turn the blower ON by selecting each of the three speeds in turn. Let the blower run several minutes at each speed to check its operation.

B.With the blower on HIGH, close the windows and doors to the area to ensure that fan does not cause backdrafting in any outlet vent for another appliance.

C.Turn the light on and off.

D.Press the DELAY SHUT-OFF button. Wait 10 minutes to see if the hood switches off.

If the vent system does not operate satisfactorily during any of the above procedures, review all steps in these installation instructions to ensure that nothing has been omitted or overlooked.
