Electrical Requirements

Any permanent electrical installation must
comply with the latest I. E. E. Regulations
and local Electricity Board regulations. For
your own safety this should be undertaken
by a qualified electrician e. g. your local
Electricity Board, or a contractor who is on
the roll of the National Inspection Council
for Electrical Installation Contracting
(NICEIC).

Electrical Connection

Before connecting to the mains supply
ensure that the mains voltage corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate inside the
cooker hood.

This appliance is fitted with a 2 core mains
cable and must be permanently connected
to the electricity supply via a double-pole
switch having 3mm minimum contact gap
on each pole. A Switched Fuse
Connection Unit to BS. 1363 Part 4, fitted
with a 3 A fuse is a recommended mains
supply connection accessory to ensure
compliance with the Safety Requirements
applicable to fixed wiring
instructions.

This appliance conforms to BS. 800:1988
and EEC Directive No. 78 308 regarding
suppression of radio and television
interference.

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 or
gas pipes.

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 keyhole fixing screws, and
the appropriate rawl plugs used for this
type of fixing (not supplied).

Ducting

The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm
(5ins) 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 output
quoted, please refer to the cooker
manufacturer ’s installation instructions.

1/2 ”) is required when installed above an
electric hob, or 750mm (29 1/2 ”) when
installed above a gas hob.

When installed between adjoining wall
cabinets, the wall cabinets must not
overhang the hob and the distance
between the underside of the cabinet and
the worktop must be 450mm. If the height
of the wall cabinet is less than 450mm a
gap of 50mm must be maintained either
side of the hob.

This cooker hood must not be
installed above a cooking appliance
with a high level grill.

The hood can be installed above these
heights but for optimum performance it
should be installed at the distance quoted
for the appropriate heat source.
