Installation recommendations
– When deciding on the safety distance
between the hob and cooker hood,
please note that a distance of
650mm above electric cookers/hobs
may be preferable to give more work-
ing space under the hood.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be us-
ing the hood most often. They should
have sufficient space to work com-
fortably at the hob, and be able to
reach the cooker hood controls with
ease.
– Please be aware that if positioned too
high, extraction will be inefficient.
– To achieve optimum vapour extrac-
tion, the cooker hood must be posi-
tioned centrally over the hob, not to
the side.
– The hob should be no wider than the
cooker hood, and if possible, it
should be narrower.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The cooker hood should
be easily accessible and easy to dis-
mantle in the event that service is re-
quired. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the pos-
ition of cupboards, shelves, ceilings
or features in the vicinity of the
cooker hood.
Connection for air extraction
 If the cooker hood is used at the
same time as a heating appliance
that relies on oxygen from the same
room, there is a risk in certain cir-
cumstances of toxic fumes building
up.
It is essential that the “Warning and
Safety” instructions are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national build-
ing regulations. Seek approval from
the building inspector where neces-
sary.
The cooker hood is fitted with an ex-
haust connection of 150mm.
Use smooth or flexible ducting made
from approved non-flammable ma-
terials for exhaust ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air extrac-
tion with the lowest noise levels, please
note the following:
– The cross-section of the exhaust
ducting must not be smaller than the
cross-section of the exhaust connec-
tion (see “Appliance dimensions”).
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting must not be
kinked or compressed. When select-
ing the exhaust ducting, ensure that it
is rigid enough to retain its shape
during operation.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
