The electric system

The false ceiling used to conceal the hood flue pipe is also useful to hide the electric connections that come out of the wall and that power the hood and the lights above the worktop and above the table. We suggest you choose the position of the table before deciding the position of the cable outlet for the ceiling light to avoid having to use unsightly ceiling extension cables for a perfectly centred light.

If your table is more than 150 cm long, it is advisable to provide for more than one light.

If the oven and fridge are too far from the electric board, that is usually located below the sink, a socket will be required behind the appliance.

The electric cable outlet from the false ceiling to power the hood must be located near the fumes outlet.

Due to the fact that the peninsular unit has an equipped back section, the electric cables must come out of the wall behind the back section. After the exact position of the back section has been decided, the electric cables must fall within the 11cm gap, measured across the centerline of the back section and in an area comprised between Y1 and Y2 (see fig.A) that varies depending on the height of the base unit. From here the cables will be directed below the sink where they will become part of an electric board to which the various appliances will be connected.
