SECTION 1. INTRO
DUC
TION
Your r
ange cooker is a semi-professional unit which gives you the power and flexib
ili
ty to
realise your full potential in the kitc
hen
. Inevitabl
y, during the cooking process, there will
be hea
t, v
apours
and fumes produced
. Your Falcon extractor has
been desi
gned to
complement the range cooker both in looks
and performance in order to create the ideal
environmen
t for creative cooking
.
SECTION 2. EXT
RAC
TION PERFORM
ANC
E
The mo
st important influence on the performance o
f the extractor is the design o
f the
ducting which takes the ex
hau
st air from the extractor to the outside wall louvre
. The duct
route s
hould be a prime consideration during the initial st
ages o
f the kitc
hen design.
Please note the following:
The extractor is provided with a spigot suitable for c
onnecting
150mm diameter
du
ct.
Note: 150mm is the minimum duct diameter consistent with efficient extraction
.
The ex
hau
st duct route l
ength should be kept a
s short as possible with a
s few
bends as possible.
The mo
st efficien
t configuration is to duct straigh
t thr
ough an outside wall so try to
position the cooker again
st an outside wall w
hen designing your kitchen layout.
The
hood can be vented either to the top exhau
st or the rear exhau
st position. Use
the position which gives the shorte
st duct route l
ength and least number of bend
s.
(The blower will need to be rotated for ducting directl
y thr
ough the rear exhau
st
position.)
A route with more than two 90
bends w
ill significantly degrade the performance o
f
the extraction system
. If possible, avoid having a 90
bend a
t the extractor ex
hau
st
spigot; k
eep bend radii as large as possible to maintain a smooth airflow wit
hou
t
vortice
s; avoid kin
ks in flexible ducting; pull flexible ducting taut over
straight runs to
ensure tha
t the internal surface is a
s smooth as possible.
SECTION 3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The following minimum headroom is required to accomm
odate the cooker
and hood
:
For a small charge customised replacement chimne
ys can be pr
oduced to suit your
r
equirements.
The minimum distance betw
een the r
ange hob burners
and the bottom of the extractor is
essential to prevent overheating of the extractor
and i
ts com
ponen
ts.
If you are fitting a Falcon splas
hba
ck t
hen the cooker-to-
hood clearance is dictated b
y the
splas
hba
ck height of
800mm excluding fl
ange
s.
Please also note that a 90
bend in the flexible ducting w
ill r
equire
215mm minimum
head
-
room to give a smooth radius with no kinking
.
R
equirements of the relevant authorities concerning the discharge of exhau
st air mu
st be
complied with
.
Attent
ion:
This appliance r
equires an earth connection.
Ensure that the s
upply voltage correspond
s to that marked on the rating label inside the
extractor
.
The extractor mu
st be isolated from the electrical s
upply before carrying out any cleaning
or maintenance operations.
Pay particular attent
ion to fire risk
when frying. To minimise the risk of fire, a
ll
instruct
ions relating to cleaning the grease filters and removing grease deposits
must be adhered to.

SECTION 4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Remov
ing the Grease
Filter(s)
Place extractor on i
ts backplate on a horizontal surface.
To remove the grease filters pull/li
ft the filter release lever away from the
hood base
. Thi
s
releases the retaining clips allowing the filter to be carefully lifted awa
y from the
hood
.
Take care not to scratch the hood
.
The four internal fixing holes, blower assembly
and spigot blanking plate can now be
accessed through the openings in the baseplate. (See Figure 1).
4.2 B
lower Exhaust Position
The
hood can be vented either to the top exhau
st or the rear exhau
st position
. Each
exhau
st position has 4
studs onto which can be bolted either the blower assembly or a
blanking plate.
Bolt blower assembl
y to chosen ex
hau
st position and the blanking plate to the
unused
position.
W
hen changing the exhau
st position
, care s
hould be taken no
t to excessively pull or twist
the cable attac
hed to the blower.
4.3 Duct Installat
ion
Make a hole in the wall or ceiling to take the
150mm diameter ducting from the extractor
exhau
st spigot to the outside
.
The ex
hau
st duct route l
ength should be kept a
s short as possible with a
s few bends a
s
possible - see Section 2
.
Knock a hole in the outside wall to match the internal measurements of the louvre.
4.4
Fixing the Hood to the Wall
If you are fitting a Falcon Splas
hba
ck it mu
st be fitted before the
hood
.
Full instruct
ions for mounting the hood are given in Figure 1
.
Note: The decorative chimney can be removed to ease handling o
f the
hood
.
The s
upporting wall must be of
good quality, have an even surface and be
sturdy
enough
to s
upport the extractor.
Fixings must be used which are suitable for the type of wall construction.
4.5 C
onnect
ing the Duct
ing
C
onne
ct ducting to extractor exhau
st spigot. This may have to be
done prior to fixing the
extractor to the wall
. You ma
y find this easier with the chimney removed
. The chimney i
s
attached using M4 machine screws which can be accessed thr
ough the filter
opening(s).
W
hen the extractor is in position
, check that the duct has not
been flatt
ened or kinked
along i
ts route
.
C
onne
ct the ducting to the wall louvre spigot or alternative outside termination
.
Secure the louvre to the outside wall
. Ensure that any air fins are directed downwards.
Refit the grease filter(s)
.
4.6
Electrical Installat
ion
The extractor is a stationary
appliance desi
gned to be connected b
y fixed wiring to the
electrical supply. A competent electrical technician mu
st perform the electrical installation
.
The extractor mu
st be fed from a
230Va
c single phase electrical supply using a switc
hed
spur fitted with a 3A fuse. The spur should be located adjacent to the extractor/cooker so
that the s
upply can be disconnected from the extractor using the switch
. The means o
f
disc
onnecting from the s
upply mu
st have a minimum contact s
eparation of 3mm in all
pole
s. Alternatively a m
eans of disc
onnection in the fixed wiring according to the relevant
wiring rules mu
st be fitted.
A s
upply cord for connecting the spur to the extractor is included
.
The main
s s
upply is c
onnected to the free
end o
f thi
s cord as follow
s:
Cooker-to-hood clearance (min):
800 mm
H
ood height including chimney:
550ó950 mm
M
inimum ceiling height with standard chimney:

hen the cooker, extractor
and

heat-
ers, etc.) are used simultaneousl
y. The room mu
st be provided with vents to allow a
constant flow of fresh air
.
War
ning
Proper care mu
st be taken to ensure that the
negative pressure
s caused by high
performance extraction
systems do not adversely affe
ct the safe
operation of certain
types of fuel-burning appliances (gas, oil or solid fuel), including those installed in
the kitc
hen and possibly also those installed in other parts of the
house
.
Where such fuel-burning appliances are installed,
adequate ventilation MUST be
provi
ded in the room of installation, located and sized such tha
t the
negative pres-
sure in the room created by the extractor
does not exceed 4Pa
.
In case of
doub
t, do not
operate the extractor and fuel-burning
appliance(s) simulta
-
neously and consult an
appropriate (for the fuel type) expert for advice
.
