INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY HOOD
CLEARANCE HEIGHTS
The chimney hood is designed to be fitted over
a cooking appliance. A minimum clearance
height of 650mm (251/2ins) is required when
installed above a built-in electric hob, or
685mm (27ins) when installed above a built-
in gas hob.
If fitting a Rangemaster splashback, fit the
splash back after the cooker is installed but
before the cooker hood. Measure 328 up from
the top of the thick part of the splash (dimen-
sion ‘B’) for the hood fixing holes. If not fitting
a splashback measure 1000 (dimension ‘A’)
from the top of the cooker flue trim.
When installed between adjoining wall cabi-
nets, the wall cabinets must not overhang the
hob and the distance between the underside
of the cabinet and worktop must be 450mm
(17½ins), and a gap of 50mm (2ins) must be
maintained either side of the hob.
This chimney hood must not be in-
stalled above a cooking appliance with a
high level grill.
FITTING THE WALL BRACKETS
1. Draw a vertical line on the wall as
illustrated, from the centre of the
cooking appliance up to the ceiling
using a spirit level and marker pen.
This is to ensure the correct vertical
alignment of the various components
during installation.
2. Place one of the brackets (2) against
the wall, centrally over the vertical line
approximately 2mm from the ceiling
or from the upper most fixing point.
Align the bracket using a spirit level
and mark the two keyhole centre
positions for the upper bracket fixing
screws on the wall.
3. Place the second bracket (2) against
the wall, centrally over the vertical line
at distance X. (X being determined by
the measurement of the upper
chimney). Align the bracket using a
spirit level and mark the two keyhole
centre positions for the middle bracket
fixing screws on the wall.
