Instructions for use and installationCooker Hood
FDW 908 IB XS
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
INSTALLATION
- The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
- Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
- For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of a minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
- Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
- If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 m bar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
- In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
- All air ducting regulations must be complied with.
USE
- The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
- Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
- Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
- Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
- Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
- Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- “ CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.”.
MAINTENANCE
- Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
- Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard).
- Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

INSTALLATION
This Hood is set up to be fitted inside the kitchen unit in:
- Ducting version: Evacuation to the outside.
- Recirculation version: Internal recirculation.
Sequence of operations – Installation
- Drilling the Support Surface and Fitting the Hood
- Connections
- Functional Check
- Disposal of Packaging
Drilling the Support Surface
WarningOnce the Support surface has been drilled the Hood Canopy can be installed in two ways:
- By inserting the Hood Canopy from below ( X = 106 mm ).
- By inserting the Hood Canopy from above ( X = 113 mm ).
ImportantThe minimum distance between the opening for the hob and the one for the hood must be of at least 3-5 cm according to the strength of the material used for the working top.
Inserting the Hood Canopy into the support surface from below
- The Hood is built ready for front installation of the Motor Unit.
- If the kitchen unit is arranged differently and the Motor Unit has to be fitted on the back, the Plug already fitted on the back of the Hood Canopy must be removed and replaced at the front, and the Cable with cable raceway for connection of the Motor must also be repositioned using the slot provided on each side (A). Before proceeding, the Motor Unit must be fixed to the Hood Canopy (see paragraph on Fixing the Motor Unit).
- Insert the Hood Canopy from below into the support worktop, drilled as described above.
- With the aid of a support, lift the Hood Canopy until the front comes out of the Worktop.
- Insert the Brackets 7.2, as indicated in the figure, into the slots provided and fix them with the screws 12a provided.
- Centre the Hood Canopy with respect to the Cooking Hob slot.
- Using the 2 screws 12c provided, fix the Hood Canopy to the worktop and remove the supports.
Warning:If the cooker top is made from a material that does not allow the screws 12c to be inserted, use a small amount of silicone to glue the Brackets 7.2 to the top and allow it to dry completely before proceeding with installation.
- Insert the Brackets 7.2, as indicated in the figure, into the slots provided and fix them with the screws 12a provided.
- The Hood is built ready for front installation of the Motor Unit.
- If the kitchen unit is arranged differently and the Motor Unit has to be fitted on the back, the Plug already fitted on the back of the Hood Canopy must be removed and replaced at the front, and the Cable with cable raceway for connection of the Motor must also be repositioned using the slot provided on each side (A).
- Insert the Hood Canopy into the cooker top, drilled as described above.
- Centre the Hood Canopy with respect to the Cooking Hob slot.
- Fix the Hood Canopy with the 2 screws 12c provided.
Warning:If the cooker top is made from a material that does not allow the screws 12c to be inserted, use a small amount of silicone to glue the Brackets 7.2 to the top and allow it to dry completely before proceeding with installation.
Fixing the Lower Brackets
- Screw the brackets 7.1 to the front of the Hood Canopy using the screws 12a provided.
- Before tightening the Brackets completely, make all the adjustments to allow them to rest on the lower base of the worktop to avoid deformation of the upper brackets 7.2 as shown in the figure.
- With the aid of a spirit level, set the Hood Canopy level vertically and fix it to the Lower Surface using 2 screws 12c provided.
- Tighten the screws 12a completely.
- Screw the brackets 7.3 to the Hood Canopy using the screws 12b provided, without tightening completely.
- Using the screws 12c provided, fasten the other part of the brackets 7.3 either to the side walls of the unit or to the lower part of the cooker top.
- Tighten the screws 12c and 12b completely.
Fixing the Motor Unit
- Installation of the Motor Unit (1) at the front or rear must be decided according to the position of the Kitchen unit, making sure that the plug is properly positioned.
- Subsequently, according to where the air outlet opening has been created on the unit, the Motor Unit can be turned by 90° at a time so as to allow the air to come out on all 4 sides in correspondence with the opening in Unit (2).
- Remove the Motor Unit from the support by unfastening the 2 screws (A).
- Connect the connector from the Hood Canopy to the Motor Unit connection.
- Replace the Motor Unit in the support using the 2 screws removed as described above.
- Screw the Motor Unit to the Hood Canopy using the screws 12a and 12b provided as shown in the figure.
- Connect the Electric cables that come out of the lower right-hand part of the Hood Canopy to the Connectors on the Electric unit.
- Each cable connector has a corresponding connector on the Electric Unit, so take care not to make mistakes when connecting up.
- Fix the Electric Unit to the Hood Canopy using the screws 12a provided.
- The position indicated in the figure is only an option, as if necessary it may also be fitted on the left of the Hood Canopy or even left free on the base of the unit if there are no structural or safety problems involved.
Warning..: Do not install the product in such a way that the wiring box is in contact with the floor.
