User manual
o Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood
parts and fittings on it.
o Rawlplugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of
ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of ceiling.
The ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the
hood.
o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the ceiling. This
appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
o Remove any protective wrapping that has been put on the
cooker hood or chimney sections, to protect them during transit.
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
.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the cooker hood is
used in extraction mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside
wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the
air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All cooker hoods have grease filters but if you are using your cooker
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filter.
