Installation recommendations
When selecting an installation height,
always tak
e 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,
mak
e 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 ho
od. Preferably, it should be
narrower.
The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
sho
uld 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
structur
al 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 p
rotective 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.
