To install the Smeg KBT9L4VN 90cm Exhaust Hood, please follow these steps:

1. Before installation, ensure that none of the components are damaged. If any damage is found, contact your dealer and do not proceed with the installation.

2. Determine whether you will be using the hood as a ducting version or a filter version. The ducting version conveys fumes to the outside via an extraction duct, while the filter version degreases and deodorizes the air before returning it to the room.

3. For the ducting version, connect the hood to the extraction ducts and wall outlets that have the same diameter as the air outlet (connecting flange). Use a duct of the minimum length necessary, with as few bends as possible (maximum angle: 90°), and avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. The duct must be made of certified material.

4. For the filter version, install an additional activated carbon filtration system. Models without a suction motor must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied). Follow the connection instructions provided with the external suction unit.

5. Ensure that the minimum distance between the pan supports on the hob and the lowest part of the hood is not less than 50cm for electric hobs and 65cm for gas or mixed fuel hobs. If the gas hob installation instructions specify a greater distance, comply with those instructions.

6. For electrical connection, the mains power supply voltage must match that indicated on the plate inside the hood. If a plug is provided, connect the hood to a compliant socket. If there is no plug or it is not located in an accessible area after installation, use a compliant two-pole switch for direct mains connection.

7. Mount the hood by fastening it to the wall or ceiling using the supplied expansion plugs. Ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough to support the weight of the hood.
