Installation recommendations

– We also recommend a distance of at

least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric

cooktops to provide more workspace

and easier cooking under the hood.

– When selecting an installation height,

always take the user height into

consideration. Users should have

ample space to work comfortably on

the cooktop and reach the ventilation

hood controls with ease.

– Please note that the greater the

distance from the cooktop, the less

effective the hood is at drawing in the

cooking vapors.

– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,

make sure that the hood covers the

cooktop. The hood should be

positioned centrally over the

cooktop, not to the side or rear.

– The cooktop should be no wider than

the hood. Preferably, it should be

narrower.

– The mounting area must be easily

accessible. The ventilation hood

should be easy to reach and

disassemble in case a service call is

necessary. This should be taken into

consideration when planning the

position of cupboards, shelves,

ceilings or decorative elements in the

vicinity of the ventilation hood.

Structural support

The hood must be attached to rigid

structural framing that is supported

in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or

to the ceiling joists directly. Do not

attach the plate directly to the ceiling

with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.

Removing the protective film

The housing components are covered

by a protective film to prevent them

from becoming damaged during

transport.
 Please remove this film before

installing the housing components. It

can be peeled off easily without any

additional tools.
