Installation - preparation and ducting
The metal casing of this appliance has been coated with a film to
protect it during transport and storage. This should be removed
during installation and any adhesive removed by using a non-
abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the instructions
given with the cleaner being used. Please ensure that there is no
power being supplied to the appliance whilst you do this.
Ducting
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend
the use of 120mm ducting. Lesser diameter ducting may not fit the
outlet (115mm), may reduce performance and increase the noise of
the extractor. Wherever possible use rigid circular pipe which has a
smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting.
The lengths of the ducting without performance being affected are as
follows:
•
4 metres with 1 x 90° bend.
•
3 metres with 2 x 90° bends.
•
2 metres with 3 x 90° bends.
Please note:
•
We recommend that you seek the help of another individual when
installing this product.
•
We recommend that you wear PPE when handling this extractor.
•
The fixings supplied are suitable for most installations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the fixings are suitable.
•
Cover any hob, or surface below the area in which the extractor
is to be installed, so that no damage befalls it.
