Mounting the Hood Body
Mounting to a stud is recommended. However, if fitted to other wall linings (plasterboard, concrete etc) suitable
fixings will be required. Before drilling any holes check that the wall and ceiling are clear of any electrical cables,
pipes etc.
1.
Hook the body onto the hood mounting bracket 6.2 as shown.
2.
Balance the hood body by slightly adjusting the hood
mounting bracket. Gently lower the hood until it securely
engages the bracket.
3.
Remove the filters and fix the range hood body to the wall
using two long wall screws.
Damper (Flaps) Fitting
1.
Ensure plastic wrapping is removed from flaps.
2.
Fix the flaps into the air outlet adapter.
3.
Check that the flaps are locked correctly in the air outlet adapter. The
flaps should open and close freely.
Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode, follow step
Recirculating mode or Ducted mode.
Recirculating Mode
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use flexible metal ductwork
only.
1.
Attach an adequate length of
φ
150mm round duct into the
recessed area of the air outlet adapter.
2.
Secure the duct to the air outlet using duct tape.
3.
Install the charcoal filters (after fitting chimney).
Please note that the air will flow out from the two vents on the
sides of the chimney top.
Ducted Mode
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use flexible metal ductwork only
.
1.
Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most
efficiently.
3.
Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of
the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be
required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4.
Attach an adequate length of
φ
150mm round duct to the air outlet
adapter. Secure in place with duct tape.
5.
The air must not be discharge into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels" "Regulations
concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
6.
Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
