IMPORTANT: Secure the metal wiring box (indicated in Fig.
22) at least 10cm above floor level and at least 65cm from gas
appliances, heat sources and the hob/extractor surface of the
appliance itself. Do not place near water inlets or outlets.
Ducting
The ducting used should be rigid pipe of a constant diameter and
must be manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS
476 or DIN 4102-B1.
Wherever possible utilise rigid circular pipe which has a smooth
interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The
lengths of ducting with minimal effect on performance 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
: Ducting components and ducting kits are optional
accessories and have to be ordered, they are not automatically
supplied with the hood. Use of ducting of a lesser diameter than
the flanges supplied will affect performance and increase the noise
produced by the extractor. Longer ducting can be used but the
performance of the extractor will likely be reduced.
Note that the ducting should be secured and sealed to the vent outlet
pipe / valve using appropriate jubilee clips or securing means.
