Preparing for installation
The chimney hood has the ability to
either recirculate the filtered air back
into the kitchen, or the filtered air can
be circulated through a duct to the
outside of the building or into the
ceiling.
Decide on which option best suits you
before commencing with the installation.
•
The chimney hood is intended to be
mounted onto a flat perpendicular
kitchen wall capable of supporting the
weight of the hood. (approx. 16 to 26
kg depending on the model).
Tools required for installation:
•
An electric drill.
•
A 3.5 mm diam. steel drill bit.
•
8 mm & 5 mm diam. masonry drill bits
•
A star screw driver (Posi 2).
•
A ratchet with a 10 mm socket and a
100 mm extension.
•
A tape measure, masking tape and a
pencil.
Venting air to the outside
When discharging the air into a ventilation
duct or directly through the wall into the
open, please take note of the following:
•
Exhaust air from the chimney hood
must not be directed into a flue or
chimney which is used for exhausting
the fumes or smoke from other
appliances burning gas or fuels.
•
Please
ensure
that
regulations
concerning the discharge of exhaust
air have been fulfilled. (SABS IEC
60335-2-31).
For optimum chiney hood efficiency use a
short, smooth, round air exhaust pipe with
as few bends as possible. A 150 mm
diameter exhaust pipe is recommended.
Long box section, narrowed or bent pipes
will hinder performance and increase
noise levels.
•
Connecting a 150 mm diameter pipe:
Mount the pipe directly onto the air
outlet on the extractor hood.
•
Connecting a 125 mm or 100 mm
diameter pipe:
Attach a reducing
connector (available from a specialist
retailer) to the air pipe and then attach
to the exhaust-air duct.
Care must be taken during installation not
to obstruct these vents.
No ducting is required for this type of
installation.
The chimney hood filters out solid
particles before the air is recirculated, via
the vents on the side of the upper
chimney, into the kitchen.
Recirculating filtered air
