Before beginning installation
o
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.
o
Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.
o
Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably
qualified person.
o
Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease filter
should be removed.
o
Check inside the product and ensure 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.
o
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.
o
Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood parts
and fittings on it. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the
wall or cabinetry. This appliance is designed to be surface mounted
only.
