Abstract

A wall-mounting installation kit for a kitchen hood ( 1 ), comprises a functional module ( 2 ); a covering element ( 5 ) connectable to the functional module ( 2 ) and adapted to define an outer casing of the hood ( 1 ); a first fixing element ( 10 ) configured to be fixed to the wall and to the functional module ( 2 ); a second fixing element ( 14 ) configured to be fixed to the wall and to the covering element ( 5 ). A method for assembling a kitchen hood ( 1 ), comprises the steps of fixing the first fixing element ( 10 ) to a wall; fixing the second fixing element ( 14 ) to the wall; fixing the functional module ( 2 ) to the first fixing element ( 10 ); fixing the covering element ( 5 ) to the second fixing element ( 14 ).

1 . A wall-mounting installation kit for a kitchen hood, comprising:
 a functional module which can face a cooking area to suck food cooking fumes, the functional module having at least one inlet opening and one outlet opening for conveying the cooking fumes;   a covering element connectable to the functional module and adapted to define an outer casing of the hood;   connection means associable to the functional module for fixing it to a wall, the connection means comprising a first fixing element configured to be fixed to the wall and to the functional module;   
       wherein the connection means comprise at least a second fixing element configured to be fixed to the wall and to the covering element. 
     
     
         2 . The kit according to the preceding claim, comprising two second fixing elements. 
     
     
         3 . The kit according to the preceding claim, wherein the covering element comprises a pair of side walls arranged substantially vertically and parallel to each other, each side wall having a respective edge, each second fixing element being configured to be connected to a respective side wall preferably substantially at the edge. 
     
     
         4 . The kit according to the preceding claim, wherein each second fixing element comprises a plurality of hooks, each side wall comprising a plurality of pins arranged at the edge, each pin being insertable in a respective hook for hanging the covering element to the second fixing elements. 
     
     
         5 . The kit according to  claim 1 , wherein the connection means comprise a support element configured to be connected to the functional module at a lower height with respect to the first fixing element and to rest on the wall. 
     
     
         6 . The kit according to  claim 1 , also comprising an exhaust duct connectable to the outlet opening of the functional module and configured to be arranged at least in part between the covering element and the wall. 
     
     
         7 . Hood assembled starting from the kit according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . A method for assembling a kitchen hood, comprising the steps of:
 providing a kit according to  claim 1 ;   fixing the first fixing element to a wall;   fixing the second fixing element to the wall;   after the step of fixing the first fixing element to the wall, fixing the functional module to the first fixing element;   after the steps of fixing the second fixing element to the wall and the functional module to the first fixing element, fixing the covering element to the second fixing element.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to the preceding claim, comprising the further step of connecting an exhaust duct to the outlet opening of the functional module, the step of connecting the exhaust duct being performed before the step of fixing the covering element and preferably after the step of fixing the functional module. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , comprising the further step of fixing the covering element to the functional module, in particular after the step of fixing the covering element to the second fixing element.
