[. . . ] The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically indicated. The premises must be sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or other fuels. The suctioned air must not be conveyed into a conduit used for the disposal of the fumes generated by appliances that combust gases or other fuels. The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited. [. . . ] Select the suitable air duct and apply the flange C supplied, ensure to close the unused hole duct with cap D* supplied if provided. Note: in some models upper hole B1 is supplied closed: Press firmly to detach the detachable part that closes the outlet hole and remove it. The detachable part cannot be mounted in position again. Carry out this operation only if you are sure of the type of installation to make. In some models the rear hole duct is not easily accessible, even when the tap (if mounted) is removed, in this case remove the plastic piece E1 or E2 that is blocking the hole duct, by unwinding using pliers and cutter. Check that the filter/suction selector (inside the cooker hood) G is in the suction (A) position. In the case where it is not possible to discharge the cooking fumes externally, the cooker hood may be used in the filter version by fixing a carbon filter, the fumes and vapours are recycled via the anterior grill placed above the control panel. Check that the suction/filter selector is in the filter (F) position. The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied). Ducting version Filter version Installation The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 60cm from electric cookers and 8 75cm from gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
