The extractor is a stationary appliance designed to be connected
by fixed wiring to the electrical supply. A competent Part P
registered electrical technician must perform the electrical
installation.
The hood must be fed from a 230Vac single phase electrical supply
using a switched spur fitted with a 3A fuse. The spur should be
located adjacent to the hood/cooker so that the supply can be
disconnected from the hood using the switch. The means of
disconnection from the supply must have a minimum contact
separation of 3mm in all poles. Alternatively, a means of
disconnection in the fixed wiring according to the relevant wiring
rules must be fitted.
For your convenience, you may wish to terminate the electrical
supply from the switched-fused spur with a standard mains
electrical socket positioned close to the extractors intended
location.
The extractor can then be fitted with a standard mains electrical
plug so that it can be plugged in to the switched supply by the
appliance installer.
The appliance is supplied with an electrical supply flex for
connection to the electrical supply. The mains supply is connected
to the free end of this flex as follows:

Connecting the Ducting
Terminate the ducting where it exits the building. If using a wall
mount weather louvre, secure the ducting to the louvre spigot and
attach the louvre to the wall. Ensure that the air fins are directed
downwards. If you are fitting an alternative termination, ensure that
the ducting is secure.
If using expanding foam, make sure that any flexible ducting is
supported internally to prevent it crushing where foamed.
Pull flexible ducting back along its route to ensure that it is as
smooth as possible.
Note: Internal motor models have non-return flaps as part of the
spigot assembly to reduce air blowing back into the unit from
outside. For remote motors, air ingress can be limited by your
choice of ducting components. Take care not to obstruct any
backdraught flaps when connecting flexible ducting.
Top outlet and side outlet (left or right) models only
Position the extractor face down (and as close to the opening as is
practical) and cut off excess before connecting the ducting to the
extractor exhaust spigot using plastic tie straps or a suitable
alternative (e.g. jubilee clip)
- do not use duct tape as the sole
means of connection.
Rear outlet models only
Note: If a bend can be accommodated, then the Top Outlet model
is always desirable due to the reduced installation complexity.
If a Rear Outlet Model must be installed, then the duct cannot be
attached prior to installation because the duct spigot protrudes from
the rear and prevents the insertion of the extractor into the prepared
opening.
Instead, the blower and spigot plate assembly must be separated
from the extractor and pulled back inside the appliance. 4 nuts
secure the rear exit blower plate to studs on the rear of the
extractor. These are accessible through the filter openings and will
need to be removed so that the blower assembly can be pulled
back into the extractor body prior to installation.
Once the hood has been installed, flexible duct can then be
pulled into the extractor and attached to the duct spigot prior to
refitting the blower assembly. To ease installation, you may
wish to use a rigid duct instead, which, providing the duct route
and spigot are properly aligned, can be pushed onto the spigot
from behind/outside after the hood is in position.
Fixing the Extractor in Position
•
Fixing the extractor safely into position requires two people
so do not start if assistance is unavailable.
•
For Rear Outlet Models Only
: separate the blower assembly
from the rear of the appliance (as described in 4.5) and pull
it back into the extractor so that the duct spigot no longer
protrudes from the hood rear.
•
The extractor is held securely in place by 4 adjustable spring
toggles (only visible on the outer casing of the unit).
•
Screws for adjusting the height of each spring toggle are
located behind the grease filters on the outer filter housing
flange (see Fig 1). The spring toggles are moved up by
turning the screws anti-clockwise and down by turning the
screws clockwise.
•
Ensure that each spring toggle height is set such that when
pushed from outside it moves freely and fully into the outer
casing of the unit and when slowly released returns to an
open position just below the top of the spring toggle slot.
The spring toggle should protrude from the casing by at
least 8mm (see Fig 1).
•
Supplementary support of the unit is provided by sprung
safety clips which are intended to hold the unit safely in
place during removal (see later). The safety clips (Fig 1)
should be disabled for installation by pulling the clip release
into the body until the clip latch is clear of its slot and then
sliding to one side so that the clip latch rests against the
inner casing of the unit.
•
Check that the electrical supply cord (and any remote
motors) have been connected, that power is switched off
and the ducting is securely fastened to the spigot.
•
Push the extractor up through the prepared opening until the
spring toggles are heard to snap over the edge of the
opening
– we recommend that two people do this
(supporting one end of the extractor each). Carefully release
the unit, ensuring that it is supported within the opening by
