INSTALLATION
VENTILATION CONNECTION
The cabinet can be connected to an exhaust duct in
two ways:
NOTE.
The exhaust ducting should not
be connected into an existing chimney,
boiler flue or tumble dryer system.
1. CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING SYSTEM
This method is only suitable for buildings that
have an existing mechanical ventilation system,
or where the room has a dedicated extraction
fan with a capacity of 45 m
3
/ hour. In both cases,
the ducting must terminate on an outside wall.
Fit the spigot to the top of the cabinet using the
two small Torx screws. Fit the white plastic
ventilation adaptor over the existing wall or
ceiling mounted grille (fixing screws for this
‘tripod’ type fitting are not supplied), and then
connect to the cabinet using the flexible hose.
Note: The exhaust ducting fittings supplied are
standard 100mm diameter, and any additional
hose or fittings required are available from most
builders merchants and hardware stores.
Fit the plastic spigot under the three lugs on
top of the cabinet. Core cut a 100mm. diameter
hole in the outside wall, or alternatively cut a
hole in a fixed pane of window glass. Fit an
appropriate terminal grille with a fixed open
louvre, preferable one with an integral insect
mesh screen.
Notes:
Standard tumble dryer back draught
shutters are not suitable.
The maximum effective length of ducting to
outside is 3m.
Rigid metal and plastic pipe can also be
used for the exhaust ducting.
Ensure that the ducting and terminal grille
are cleaned on an annual basis.
2. CONNECTION TO AN OUTSIDE WALL
NOTE.
The insert is not supplied.
NOTE.
The air intake must not be
blocked at any time. Do not use the
area above the cabinet for storage.
