INSTALLATION
Before carrying out the appliance installation, please check that all components are not damaged,
in such a case contact your retailer and do not carry out any installation operation.
Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove all of the packaging. Furthermore, please
read carefully all of the following installation instructions.
› Use an air exhausting pipe whose maximum length does not exceed 5 metres.
› Limit the number of elbows in the piping, since each elbow reduces the air capacity of 1
linear metre.
(Eg: if you use no. 2 x 90˚ elbows, the length of piping should not exceed 3 metres).
› Avoid abrupt direction changes.
› Use a 150mm constant diameter pipe for the whole length.
› Use piping approved by standards in force.
The manufacturer shall not be deemed responsible for air capacity or noise problems caused by
failure to comply with the above instructions and no warranty on the product shall be provided.
Before making the worktop cut out, check that there are no structural interference or other parts
inside the cabinet, where the appliance is to be placed, which could hinder a proper installation.
Check that the dimensions of the Downdraft and the ones of the hob are compatible with the
cabinet so that the installation can be carried out properly.
Make a rectangular opening, 790 x 100mm in size, at the back of the hob. In the version with the
motor already installed, remove the screws and the suctioning unit in order to fit the downdraft in
the opening made.

Fit the Downdraft in the opening, by inserting it from above as shown in (Fig. 1).
Secure the downdraft inside the cabinet, by using the special fixing brackets supplied with the
product (Fig. 2). Insert the brackets in the lower side of the downdraft, in such a way that there
is a 3mm gap between the lower side of the bracket and the bottom of the cabinet (Fig. 3).
This distance will allow to pull the appliance downwards during installation, in order to make
the stainless steel frame perfectly adhere with the worktop. Before inserting the screws into the
cabinet, please make sure that the appliance is perfectly perpendicular with the worktop.
After completing installation and connecting the appliance to the power supply, lift the downdraft
up by pressing on the top side, as shown in fig. 4.
Remove the felt protections as shown in fig. 14.
