5. Configurazione e installazione

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your range hood. Refer to the included installation manual for detailed steps and diagrams. Below are general guidelines and important considerations.

5.1 Installation Type: Ducted vs. Ductless

This range hood is convertible and can be installed in either ducted or ductless (recirculating) mode.

• Modalità canalizzata: Vents air outside through a duct system. Recommended for heavy cooking tasks.
• Modalità senza condotti: Recirculates air through activated carbon filters back into the kitchen. Suitable for light to moderate cooking. Ensure carbon filters are installed for this mode.

The left diagram depicts the range hood in 'Ducted Mode' with air being expelled through a duct to the outside. The right diagram shows the range hood in 'Ductless Mode' with air being filtered and recirculated back into the kitchen.

5.2 Considerazioni sul montaggio

The range hood is designed for wall-mount installation. Ensure adequate clearance above the cooking surface (recommended 24-30 inches) and proper chimney extension for your ceiling height.
