INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible to an
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
All installations must comply with the local
authorities requirements for the discharge of
exhaust air.
Incorrect installation may affect the safety of
this cooker hood.
Installation Requirements
Before fitting the hood beneath any type of
canopy or wall cabinet, ensure that the housing
is firmly fixed to the wall in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
If it is necessary to fix the housing for the
canopy to a hollow construction plaster or
partition board structure then it should be
sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the
area of the cabinet housing fixings.
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm (5ins)
in diameter and the length should be no
more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.
Clearance Height
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over
a cooking appliance at the clearance heights
stated, providing the maximum output of the
appliance beneath does not exceed the
maximums quoted in the Technical Specifications.
If the output of the appliance below the cooker
hood exceeds the maximum outputs quoted,
please refer to the cooker manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
