We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following UK code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown),
then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
o
As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your spur box, please proceed as follows:
o
The
blue wire
must be connected to the
terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured
black
.
o
The
brown wire
must be connected to the
terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured
red
.
Before beginning installation
o
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the
chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an
electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is
mounted. There should also be space to connect a ducting hose
to the outside.
o
Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.
o
Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably
qualified person.
o
Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease
filters should be removed.
o
Check inside the product and insure that there is no transit
packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws,
guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future
use.
o
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers
from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and
ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will
help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
