• 12) How to connect the hood and/or the hob to the electricity supply?v

  The installation and connection to the electrical network of our products must be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel.
  Our products, depending on the type, are delivered with cable ending with plug or with cable ending with tips.
  If the product is equipped with an electric cable ending with a plug, this must be used for the connection, and therefore an adequate electrical outlet must be provided in the immediate vicinity.
  If the product is equipped with a cable ending with tips, it can instead be connected via terminal blocks, always respecting the regulations in force.
  A product equipped with a cable with a plug must never be installed by removing the plug from the cable and using terminal blocks instead. An installation of this type is considered an unauthorized modification of the product, and therefore invalidates the warranty.

• 13) How can I identify my product

  The code that identifies the product is shown on the characteristics label. On the label look for: the model, the item code and the production date. To access the characteristics label it is necessary to remove the aluminum filter grids.
