Installing your Cooker Hood
5
This Cooker Hood is guaranteed and will give
lasting service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the hood
has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions detailed in this book.
The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any
damage or injury caused as a result of not
following the instructions contained in the
following text.
SAFETY WARNINGS: THIS COOKER HOOD IS
DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY.
When used in the extraction mode the Cooker
Hood ducting must not be connected to a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
a central heating flue or water heating flue.
NOTE: All installations must comply with
local authorities and building regulation
requirements for the discharge of exhaust
air into the atmosphere.
Your new Cooker Hood can be used in the
following ways:
-
External exhausting model
-
Recycling model
These distances between hobs and grease
filter must be observed.
Minimum 600mm - over an electric hob.
Minimum 700mm - over a gas or mixed fuel
hob.
Minimum 400-450mm - over a high level grill.
Suggestions for the Installation and use:
-
The horizontal sections of the pipe must be
slanted slightly upwards (about 10%) to
ensure an easy flow of air outwards.
-
The hood is more efficient in the exhaust
mode, therefore this position should be
selected during the warmer months of the
year when no heating is being used.
When the room is being heated, if the
recirculation position is selected heat will
not be wasted.
Ducting:
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction,
long ducts should not be used. Exhaust pipes
with a minimum internal diameter of 100mm
and with as smooth an inner wall as possible
are recommended. The ducting MUST be
manufactured from a fire retardant material.
Fit the ducting spigot into the aperture on the
top of the casing and make an airtight
connection (Fig. 1 ).
The maximum length of ducting, including
one 90˚ bend should be 3 metres, to be
reduced by 1 metre for each 90˚ bend
installed in the duct run.
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not
be turned through very tight bends as this
could impair the performance of the hood.
Wall Vent Kit:
For connecting the Hood either directly
through a wall or in conjunction with a
ducting pipe, we recommend the use of a
Wall Vent Kit. A 3m extension pipe is also
available. These may be obtained from your
nearest retailer or the Genuine Parts and
Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back
cover) and must be used where there is a
cavity wall. Specific installation instructions
are included with the Wall Vent Kit.
NOTE: The Wall Vent Kit has a diameter of
100mm.
Use
The hood may be used in two ways:
- External exhausting version
- Internal recycle version.
External exhausting version.
This method is recommended if at all possible.
The air is conveyed out through a pipe which
is connected to the outlet hole A (fig. 1) by
means of a coupling flange B (fig. 1).
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be
equal to that of the coupling flange.
Attention! the hood is supplied with a grease
filter, which when absorbed with grease and
fat can be thrown away.
Internal recycle version.
The air is purified through an active carbon
filter and returned to the room.
For instructions on how to fit and replace the
carbon filter please see the section on “ caring
for your cooker hood”.
