MOUNTING
Your Cooker Hood is designed to fit between
two wall cupboards 600mm apart and to take
a door panel measuring 400mm (min) to
600mm (max) in height,to match the adjacent
cupboards,
Mounting Height:
The bottom of the hood should be no less
than 650mm above an electric hob,
750mm above a gas hob or mixed fuel cooker,
400-450mm above a high level grill/top oven.
For the best results,the hood should be
mounted as near as possible to the minimum
recommended height.
WARNING: The fan motor of this appliance
incorporates a thermal cut-out device
which will operate if the hood is installed
below the minimum recommended heights
listed above,or if the motor becomes over-
heated. If the cut-out device is activated,
switch off the fan motor and allow the
hood to cool.
The cut-out device will reset itself when the
fan motor has cooled significantly.
NOTE: This hood has been designed and
approved for installation over an electric
hob with a maximum input of 7kW or a gas
hob with a maximum input of 10kW when
fitted in accordance with the heights
recommended above.
Mounting between cabinets on the Wall:
The hood may be fixed to any rigid vertical
surface. If the hood can only be fixed to a
hollow construction plaster or partition board
structure,then the wall must be sufficiently
reinforced to enable the hood to be fixed
securely in position.
Ensure that the cupboard is securely fixed to
the wall,then proceed as follows:
Place the template provided on the wall
between the cupboards and drill the holes
indicated.
Place the wall plugs provided into the drilled
holes (Fig.6).
In cases where the wall plugs provided are
not suitable for the type of wall ie.plaster
board or cavity,appropriate fittings should be
obtained.
Adjust the position of the upper brackets
(Fig.7 B). Fit the hood to the hooks by means
of the two brackets B. Ensure that the hood is
at the right height,the height of the hood can
be adjusted with the help of the screws
(Fig.7 S).
The hood can be fitted to the cupboards as
detailed under the heading ‘Fitting the Hood
to the Cupboards’.
in the event that the side cupboards are
considered to be inadequate to support the
weight of the hood,the hood should be fixed
to the wall as well as to the side of the
cupboards.
