Installing your cooker hood
You will have to decide before installing your cooker hood whether to use it in extraction mode or
recirculation mode.
1. We recommend that at least two people install
this hood.
2. Cut a rectangular aperture in the canopy unit
475mm wide X 275mm 14mm from the front
edge
3. If the extractor is to be ducted out, ensure that
it is possible to connect the ducting hose.
4. If the extractor is to be used in recirculation
mode, ensure that the canopy allows the
recirculating air to be circulated from the top
of the extractor and canopy.
5.
Remove the grease filter ‘A’ as described
Previously.
6. Remove the four screws securing the extractor
frame ‘B’ to the extractor body.
7. If the extractor is to be ducted out, connect the
extractor to the vent hose.
8. With the help of an assistant introduce the
extractor into the opening cut into the canopy
housing, taking care not to trap the ducting
hose or the mains cable, and secure with the
wood screws provided.
9. Replace the extractor frame and the four
screws removed earlier from the extractor.
Connecting to external ducting
•
Connect the coupling to the top or the rear of the cooker hood, and then connect a 125 mm ducting
hose to the coupling (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance).
•
You may find an anti-draft flap included with the fixtures and fittings for the cooker hood.
•
The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a discharge outlet that is suitable for
cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm².
•
The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres, with one
90 degree bend
.
