8 ASSEMBLY OF YOUR HOOD
This is a suggested installation. All kitchens are different.
If you are unsure, please consult with a trained person.
Preparations for mounting your hood to the kitchen
unit
1.
Offer up and attach the installation template
supplied.
2.
Make 4mm pilot holes at points A B C D, that will
soon support your hood.
3.
Are you using ducting to pipe air outside?
YES
a)
Create the hole for the air outlet as shown on the
installation template
b)
Attach the flue flaps as shown below
NO
If you do not have the opportunity to duct air outside
and are opting to recycle air, there may not be a
need to create this hole or fit the flue flaps.
Fit the flue flaps (only if you are using ducting)
The flue flaps are designed to prevent air/wind travelling
from outside to your hood when not in use. They
comprise of two semi-circular plastic flaps that are
pushed open by escaping air when you turn on your
hood. Once fitted the plastic pins/tabs on the flaps point
upwards.
1. To fit each flap, locate the first hinge tab in the locator
hole on the motor assembly (area 1 in Fig. 12). Then
bend the plastic flap slightly to locate the second hinge
tab in its own locator.
2.
Repeat for the second flap
