Installation

We recommend that at least two people install this hood.
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD ONLY BE CONNECTED
TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER COMPLETION OF THE
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Before beginning the installation
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen
installation area. In addition check whether there is an electrical socket
available that will be accessible once the hood is mounted. If the product
is going to be used in extraction mode, then there should also be space to
connect a ducting hose to the outside.
Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease filter should
be removed.
Check inside the product and insure that there is no transit packaging or
any other materials, such as packets of screws, guarantees etc. These
should be removed and kept for future use.
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their
position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not
possible, then a thick, protective covering should be placed over the
worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help to protect these surfaces from
damage and debris.
Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood and cover the
surface with a protective covering.
IMPORTANT: Please refer to the information on page 3 regarding the
minimum height required between the hob top and the underneath
of the cooker hood.
Rawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and
ceilings, however a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the
materials, in accordance with the type of wall and ceiling. The wall and
ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is
designed to be wall mounted or fitted inside a cupboard unit only.
