Your safety is of the utmost importance; please make sure that you read this
instruction booklet before attempting to install or use the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
The hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions
and all measurements followed.
If the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then the
provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas Safety Codes
of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440 & BS.6891 (Natural Gas) and BS.5482 (LP
Gas) 1994, the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations, the Building
Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment, the Building
Standards (Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this product. Do not
tamper with it or attempt to modify the appliance in any way.
When installing the hood, the following recommended minimum distances
must be observed between the highest point on the hob top (including the
burners) and the bottom of the cooker hood:
Electric cookers:
650 mm
Gas cookers:
650 mm
Coal/ oil cookers:
800 mm
When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets must not
overhang the hob.
The edges of the cooker hood may be sharp – handle your appliance with
care, especially during installation and cleaning.
DO NOT CLEAN IN
BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!
If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning
appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue must be of the
sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is an
adequate supply of air in the room.
When the hood is being used in its ducted-out mode, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends sharper than 90
degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the hood.
