UNPACKING
Care should be taken when unpacking the
cooker hood to ensure that the fixing kit,
ducting spigot, blanking plate and literature
pack are retained with the hood.
The fixing kit comprises:
1- Wall/Suspended fixing template.
2- Wall fixing brackets.
4- Plastic rawl plugs.
4- Wall/Suspended fixing screws.
2- Shakeproof washers.
2- Security nuts.
POSITIONING
When installed above an electric cooking
appliance the minimum distance between the
surface of the hob elements and the lower
grille of the cooker hood must be 65cm (25 1/
2").
When installed above a gas cooking appliance
the minimum distance between the surface of
the hob pan supports and the lower grille of
the cooker hood must be 70cm (27 1/2").
However, if you are installing above a
Tricity Bendix hob the minimum distance
between the surface of the hob elements/
pan supports and the lower grille of the
cooker hood may be reduced to 60cm (23
5/8”)
When installed above a cooking appliance with
a high level grill the minimum distance between
the upper surface of the grill and the lower
grille of the cooker hood must be 45cm (17 3/
4").
The distance between the underside of
adjoining wall cabinets and the worktop must
not be less than 40cm (15 3/4").
WALL FITTING
The cooker hood may be fitted to any rigid
vertical surface. All the fittings supplied are to
be found in a polythene bag inside the carton.
IMPORTANT: Before installation check the wall
to which the cooker hood is to be fitted for
electric cables, water pipes or gas pipes before
drilling.
If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow con-
struction plaster or partition board structure
then it must be sufficiently reinforced to be quite
rigid in the area of the cooker hood mounting
brackets. The hood must not be fitted using the
key hole fixing points but with the special
brackets supplied.
Use the paper template provided to mark the
hole positions on the wall for the bracket fixing
screws.
Check the hole distances are correct with a
tape measure as stated on the template.
At this stage it is important to allow 15mm (1/
2") clear space above the cooker hood to
enable it to be hooked onto the brackets and
for subsequent removal for decorating or
servicing.
When drilling the holes for the wall fixing
brackets care must be taken to ensure that
they are quite level as there is minimal vertical
height adjustment of the fixing brackets.
The brackets should be fitted with the round
end at the bottom using the plastic rawl plugs
and screws provided.
If the brackets are to be fitted to a hollow
plaster or partition board structure then the
plastic rawl plugs provided should not be used.
Once the brackets are secured lift the hood
squarely to the wall slightly higher than the
brackets and lower the cooker hood until the
cooker hood locates onto the two brackets.
Ensure that the cooker hood is correctly
located before letting go.
Access to the two wall levelling screws and
the security fixing system will require the
removal of the lower inlet grille that supports
the grease mat filter.
To remove the lower grille press inwardly on
the two slide catches located towards either
side of the grille near the front and the grille
will open from the front. The grille pivots at
the rear. Slide the right edge of the grille
forward until it clears the guide and then
unhook the left hinge pin.
Care should be taken to fully support the grille
when removing it from the guides.
The two wall levelling screws will be visible
toward either end of the back panel, visible
when the grille has been removed. Turn the
screws clockwise to lift the front edge of the
hood and use a spirit level to check the hood
is positioned at right angles to the wall before
fitting the security system.
The wall brackets have two studs and when
the cooker hood is hung onto the brackets
the studs project through the two holes above
the levelling screws.
When the hood is level fit the two shakeproof
washers and nuts supplied to fully secure the
cooker hood.
