Part 1aINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This canopy hood is designed to be fixed to any rigid vertical surface, over a cooking area, and can be
used either in the extraction (ducted to the outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal recycling). In

consideration of the difficulties of installation and of the weight of the hood, the installation work must
be undertaken by a qualified and competent person. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any
damage or injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation contained in the
following text.

2 - COMPONENTS.

The cooker hood is made up of the following components (fig. 1)

2.1 - A canopy C, including controls, worktop illumination and fan unit

2.2 - No. l telescopic chimney stack formed by:

- No. l U-shaped upper section S

- No. l U-shaped lower section I

3 - SAFETY WARNINGS.

3.1 - When used in the extraction mode the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a central
heating flue, radiator or a water heater.

3.2 - Before connection to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corres-ponds with the
voltage on the rating plate inside the hood.

3.3 - Connect the hood to the mains supply via a double pole switch which has 3mm clearance
between the contacts.

3.4 - Ensure that the electric plant allows the hood to be correctly earthed.

3.5 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above a cooking appliance.

3.6 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.

3.7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oi1s may catch fire.

3.8 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the mains
supply.

3.9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains other non-electric appliances (such as
gas appliances) ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to the room.

4 - INSTALLATION.

For easy installation proceed as follows:

4.1 - Fix the wall brackets (and the splashback, if available).

4.2 - Fix the canopy.

4.3 - Connect the hood to the mains supply and ensure that it works properly.

4.4 - Set the hood for recirculation or extraction.

4.5 - Fix the telescopic metal frame.

4.1 - Fixing the wall brackets (and splashback)

Ref. to Fig. 2 a-b
1 - Draw a vertical line on the wall from the centre of the cooking appliance up to the ceiling, using a

marking pen. This is to ensure the correct vertical alignment of many components.

2 - Fixing the wall bracket No. 1:

a - put the bracket l to the wall, aligning its marked centre across the vertical line, ensuring that the
distance between the centres of the holes and the cooking area is as follows :
1 - when the splashback is to be installed: d=270mm+H mm, where H is the height of the visible part
of the splashback. As the splashback can be of different heights, the correct H figure can only be
obtained by measuring the actual height of the splashback to be fitted.
2 - without splashback: d=920 mm minimum.

Note: ensure that the wall bracket (l) is levelled. The hood can be aligned or adjusted in height by
rotating the adjustment screws (see below).

b - mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket.

3 - Fixing the wall bracket No. 2:

a - Put the bracket No. 2 to the wall at about 1 - 2 mm from the ceiling or from the maximum height
required, paying attention to the correct vertical alignment.
b - mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket.

4 - Fixing the wall bracket No. 3:

a - Put the wall bracket No. 3 to the wall, paying attention to the correct vertical alignment at a X
distance measured as in Fig. 2 a-b. The X distance must equal the height of the U-shaped upper
section S, and can vary according to the different heights of this section.
b - Mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket No. 3.

5 - Pilot drill all the hole positions as marked on the wall using a 8mm drill. Fix the wall brackets 1 - 2 -

3 using the 8mm rawl plugs and screws supplied.

6 - Splashback (if available).

When the splashback F is to be fitted, the distance between the cooker hood and the cooking
appliance will be determined by the height of the splashback. The splashback is to be fitted before
positioning the canopy. If the splashback is to be fixed to the wall using both the upper and lower
fixing points, care must be taken to ensure that the splashback if fitted at the correct height before
placing in position the base cabinet and worktop. Being a rather complicated operation, the fixing of
the splashback should be carried out by a qualified or competent person, knowing all the final
dimensions of the furniture. If the splashback is to be fixed through only the upper part, proceed as
follows :
a - Put the splashback on the worktop as shown on Fig. 2; then hold it against the wall ensuring that
it is correctly positioned on the worktop.
b - Mark on the wall the two hole positions which appear on the upper part of the splashback.
c - Pilot drill the hole positions using a 8mm drill and fix the splashback using the 8mm rawl plugs
and screws supplied.
d - The installer should ensure that the lower part of the splashback is adequately fixed.

4.2 - Fitting the canopy (Fig. 3).

1 - Rotate halfway the two screws R positioned on the hanging lugs of the canopy.
2 - Hook the canopy on to the wall bracket 1 ensuring that the two lugs of the bracket are fitted on the

keyhole fixing points of the canopy and push down as allowed by the adjustment screws R.

3 - The canopy can be aligned or adjusted in height using the two adjustment screws R.

4.3 - Electrical connection and working test.

1 - The safety measures 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of paragraph 3 are to be strictly observed.
2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that worktop illumination, motor and

speeds work properly.

4.4 - Ducting or Recirculation fitting.

1 - Ducting fitting:

a - The cooker hood can be ducted to the outside using either a rigid or a flexible duct of 100 or 120
mm diameter. The choice should be made by the installer.
b - The ducting spigot supplied has an air outlet of 100 mm diameter. To adapt to 120 mm diameter
cut along the slotted line as shown on Fig. 4, using a proper knife.
c - Remove the two screws on top of the canopy and secure the spigot (Fig. 5); fit the spigot A on the
rectangular air outlet on the top of the canopy and secure the spigot to the canopy using the two
screws.
d - Connect (Fig. 5) the rigid/flexible duct to both the ducting spigot A and to the wall outlet using
suitable clamps (not supplied). The installer should ensure that the ducting material is available.
e - If the hood is provided with the charcoal filter fitted, the filter should be removed (see part 2,
paragraph 3 3.2b.)

2 - Recirculation fitting:

a - When the hood is installed in the recirculation mode, the air is recirculated into the kitchen
through the two venting grilles located on both sides of the lower U-shaped section. The two grilles
can be positioned at two different heights (Fig. 6 and 7).
b - Lower position (Fig. 6): Fit the recirculation spigot F to the rectangular outlet on top of the
canopy and push it down ensuring that the four lugs are fitted into the holes.
c - Upper position (Fig. 7): Fit the additional spigot P to the rectangular outlet on top of the canopy
and push it down ensuring that the four lugs fit into the holes. Then fit the recirculation spigot F on
the additional spigot P.
d - Fit the charcoal filter inside the canopy see part 2, paragraph 3 3.3b.
NOTE - Do not fit the two venting grilles to the chimney stack: the grilles are to be fitted only when
the chimney stack has been positioned.

4.5 - Fitting the telescopic chimney stack (Fig. 8).

The chimney stack is formed using the two U-shaped sections and it is adjustable for different heights.
1 - To fit the upper section S first widen the two sides of the section slightly so that they can be clamped

to the wall brackets 2 and 3 and then ensure that they are correctly fa-stened. The upper section is
fixed to the wall bracket 2 with its upper corners. Secure the upper section to the bracket 2 using two
screws provided with the fixing kit.

2 - The lower section I of the chimney stack can be fixed in a similar way between the wall brackets 1

and 3 and the wall, paying atten-tion to fit the lower part of the section into the recess of the canopy
(see close-up). Then fix the lower section I to the wall bracket l using the two remaining self tapping
screws. NOTE - The upper S and lower I sections are fixed to the wall bracket in the middle 3
through a spring and the connection is made by pushing both sections vigorously toward the centre.

3 - Fit the two venting grilles, one to either side of the chimney stack. The grilles are marked with two

arrows and should be fitted so that one arrow is pointing upwards and the other forward away from
the wall. When the hood is to be used in the recirculation mode ensure that both grilles fit properly to
the recirculation spigot F (Fig. 9).
