Duct Installation
Make a hole or holes in the walls and/or ceiling, as necessary, in order to take 150mm diameter ducts from
the extractor spigot(s) to the outside.
The exhaust duct route length should be kept as short as possible with as few bends as possible. Long
ducting routes will reduce the extractors performance.
If using FdF duct kit ensure that holes in external wall will accommodate the ducting and connecting strap
(Min 160mm diameter).
Connect ducting to extractor exhaust spigot(s). This may have to be done prior to fixing the extractor into
position
When the extractor is in position, check that the duct has not been flattened or kinked along its route.
Connect the ducting to the wall louvre spigot or alternative outside termination.
Secure the louvre to the outside wall. Ensure that the air fins are directed downwards
Warning
Do not reduce the ducting diameter from 150mm as this will affect the performance of
the hood and could damage the motor. Damage caused to the hood by incorrect ducting
will not be covered by warranty
Your Lacanche BFU extraction hood is designed to be fitted into kitchen furniture, over mantles, a chimney
and is vented from the top. When installing the extractor care should be taken on the position that the
extractor is installed. The extractor should be installed as far forward as posibble over the Lacanche range.
If the extractor is installed towards the rear of the range the burners at the front of the range will not be
covered by extractor and smoke spillage could ocur.
The hood is mounted into the kitchen furniture or over mantle using a base board (not supplied by FdeF
Ltd) and should be a minium of 20mm thick, the base board is fixed to the kitchen furniture or over mantle.
Ensure that the base board and kitchen furniture are of secure construction to take the weigth of the
extractor. A hole has to be cut into the base board to accomodate the extractor, the dimensions are as
follows:
