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 installation check the wall to which the
cooker hood is to be fitted for electric cables,
water pipes or gas.
If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow construction
plaster or partition board structure then it should be
sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the
cooker hood mounting brackets, and the appropriate rawl
plugs used for this type of fixing (not supplied).
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant 100mm (4ins) 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.
