Electrical connection YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION. o The cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the electrical connection, using an omni-polar switch with a contact distance of at least 3 mm. THE FUSE MUST BE RATED AT 3 AMPS. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. It should only be connected by a competent person, using fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet. (UK ONLY).
Before beginning installation o Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode, then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the outside. o Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the cooker hood.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode? IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes? In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken out of the room via external ducting. In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filters and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. 1) Remove the grease previously described). filters (as 2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to install it on and mark the position of the screw holes that are to be drilled.
2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure A in this drawing and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure B. 3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diameter, make holes in the wall on the positions that you have marked in step 2. 4) Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled.
5) Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 10 mm out of the wall. 6) Hang the hood onto the support screws. 7) Fully tighten the support screws (A) and then screw the anchoring screws (B) through the relevant holes in the cooker hood. Fully tighten the anchoring screws into the wall.
Connecting to external ducting 8) Connect the coupling to the top 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). o 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. o The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend.
10) Lift chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it is perpendicular to the hood. o Mark the side measurements of both sides of chimney section (D) on the wall with a pencil and then remove chimney section (D). 11) Take the flat bracket (E) and place it between the two pencil marks that you made in step 9. o Keeping the bracket in contact with the wall, use a pencil to mark on the wall the anchoring holes that are cut out of the bracket.
12) Using an 8 mm drill bit, drill out two holes on the pencil markings that you made in step 11. Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then use a screwdriver to secure the fixing bracket to the wall. o Refit chimney section (C) to the hood and fix it onto the hood using the two screws that are supplied. o Secure the top of chimney section (C) to the flat bracket, using the screws provided. o Slide chimney section (D) inside of chimney section (C).
