▪The minimum distance between the hob surface on which the
pans stand and the lower part of the hood must be 65 cm, unless
otherwise specifi ed in the installation instructions. If the hob in-
stallation instructions specify a greater distance, it must be taken
into account.
▪T
he air collected must not be conveyed into a duct used to blow
off smokes from appliances fed with an energy other than electri-
city (central heating systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).
▪Comply with the offi cial instructions provided by the competent
authorities in merit when installing the disposal duct. In addition,
exhaust air should not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the
cavity is designed for that purpose.
▪The room must be well aerated in case a hood and some other
heat equipment fed with an energy other than electricity (gas, oil,
coal heaters, etc) operate at the same time.
▪In fact the intake hood, disposing of air, could create a vacuum
in the room. The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar. This pre-
vents the gas exhausted by the heat source from being intaken
again. It is therefore advisable to ensure the room contains air
taps able to ensure a steady fl ow of fresh air.
▪Check the data label inside the appliance; if the symbol ( ) is prin-
ted, read the following: this appliance has such technical particu-
lars that it belongs to class II insulation, therefore it must not be
earthed.
▪Check the data label inside the appliance; if the symbol ( ) is
NOT printed, read the following: ATTENTION: This appliance
must be earthed. When making the electrical connections, check
that the current socket has a ground connection.
▪When making the electrical connections, check that the voltage
values correspond to those indicated on the data plate inside the
appliance itself. In case your appliance is not fi tted with a supply
cord and a plug or with other means for disconnection from the
supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide
full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, that
means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fi xed wiring
