SECTION 1. CHECKLIST OF ITEMS
Check that the following items have been supplied:
1 extractor hood (Complete with blower motors, lighting, mains supply cord and grease filter(s)
SECTION 2. EXTRACTION PERFORMANCE
The most important influence on the performance of the extractor is the design of the ducting which takes the
exhaust air from the extractor to the outside. The duct route should be a prime consideration during the initial
stages of the kitchen design. Please note the following:
The extractor is provided with a spigot(s) suitable for connecting 150mm diameter ducts.
Note:
150mm is the minimum duct diameter consistent with efficient extraction.
Double blower (fan) models will require two independent duct runs.
The exhaust duct route length should be kept as short as possible with as few bends as possible.
The most efficient configuration is to duct straight through an outside wall so try to position the cooker
against an outside wall when designing your kitchen layout.
A route with more than two 90 degree bends will significantly degrade the performance of the extraction
system. Keep bend radius as large as possible to maintain a smooth airflow without vortices; avoid kinks in
flexible ducting; pull flexible ducting taut over straight runs to ensure that the internal surface is as smooth
as possible.
Rigid 150mm diameter (or equivalent rectangular) ducting should be considered for long or complex duct
runs (which must be sourced separately).
DO NOT REDUCE THE DUCTING DIAMETER OF 150MM AS THIS WILL REDUCE THE EXTRACTORS
PERFORMANCE
SECTION 3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The minimum distance between the range hob burners and the bottom of the extractor is 750mm. It is
essential to maintain this distance to prevent overheating of the extractor and its components.
Please also note that a 90 degree bend in the flexible ducting will require 315mm minimum headroom to
give a smooth radius with no kinking.
The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
supplied with energy other than electricity, e.g. oil or gas-fired central heating boilers, gas-fired water
heaters, etc.
Requirements of the relevant authorities concerning the discharge of exhaust air must be complied with.
Adequate ventilation of the room must be provided when the cooker extractor and appliances supplied with
energy other than electricity (e.g. gas-fired or oil-fired heaters, etc.) are used simultaneously. The room
must be provided with vents to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
Attention:
This appliance requires an earth connection
Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to that marked on the rating label inside the extractor.
The extractor must be isolated from the electrical supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operations.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service, or a
suitably qualified person.
Pay particular attention to fire risk when frying. To minimise the risk of fire, all instructions relating to
cleaning the grease filters and removing grease deposits must be adhered to
Do not flambé under the extractor
The hood has been designed to remove the kitchen smells; any other additional use shall be regarded as
non-intended.
This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, metal
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance is for domestic use only.
