Installation recommendations
– When deciding on the safety distance
between the hob and cooker hood,
please note that a distance of
650 mm above electric cookers/hobs
may be preferable to give more work-
ing space under the hood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be us-
ing the hood most often. They should
have sufficient space to work com-
fortably at the hob, and be able to
reach the cooker hood controls with
ease.
– Please be aware that if positioned too
high, extraction will be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour extrac-
tion, the cooker hood must be
centred over the hob, not to the side
or behind it.
– The hob should be no wider than the
cooker hood, and if possible, it
should be narrower.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The cooker hood should
be easily accessible and easy to dis-
mantle in the event that service is re-
quired. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the pos-
ition of cupboards, shelves, ceilings
or features in the vicinity of the
cooker hood.
Electrical connection
Installation, maintenance or re-
pair work by unqualified persons
could be extremely dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
All electrical work should only be un-
dertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent electrician in strict ac-
cordance with current national and
local safety and building code regu-
lations.
This cooker hood must only be connec-
ted to a properly installed power supply.
The electrical installation must be in
compliance with current local and na-
tional safety regulations, (e.g. VDE 0100
in Germany/BS 7671 in the UK).
For increased safety we recommend the
use of a residual current device with a
trip current of 30 mA (DIN VDE 0664).
A suitable means of disconnection must
be provided on site for each pole. Suit-
able means of disconnection include
switches with an all-pole contact gap of
at least 3 mm. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and contactors
(EN 60335).
The relevant connection data can be
found on the data plate (see “After
Sales/Warranty”). Ensure that this data
matches the voltage and frequency of
your household power supply.
