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

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

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 keyhole fixing screws, 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 exceeds the maximum output quoted,
please refer to the cooker manufacturer’s
installation instructions.

11

Clearance Height

A clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”) is required
when installed above a built-in electric hob, or 700mm
(27 1/2 ”) when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required when
installed above a slot-in electric oven, or 787mm (30
1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas oven.

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 420mm. If the height of the wall
cabinet is less than 420mm 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.

Unpacking

The fittings supplied to install this cooker
hood can be found with the instruction book
inside the packaging and consists of the following:

Wall/suspended fixing template
Ducting spigot 100mm (4”)

Wall Fitting

The cooker hood is fitted to the wall using the
keyhole slots in the back of the hood.

1. Mark the position on the wall for the two 8mm

dia screw holes (A) as illustrated in the
drawing opposite at 568mm.

420 mm (min)

Hob

A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm clearance
D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm clearance

2. Check that the hole distances are correct and

are level using a spirit level.

3. At this stage it is important to allow 25mm (1”)

clear space above the cooker hood to enable it
to be hooked onto the screws and for
subsequent removal for decorating or
servicing.

4. Insert the screws and tighten to a distance of

5mm.

12

Venting

The hood is more effective when used in the
extraction setting (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your
retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to
an outside vent of 100mm (4”) minimum.

The ducting used must be manufactured from
fire retardant material which should conform to
the relevant British Standard or DIN4102-B1.

When the hood is ducted externally the
charcoal filter must be removed and the
slider control must be in the ducting position.

To Fit the Ducting

1. Fit the ducting spigot and blanking plate, by

aligning the interlocking lugs on the fittings,
with the recesses in the aperture as illustrated
in (A) and (B) opposite.

2. Insert and turn anti-clockwise to lock the spigot

and blanking plate into position.

Recirculation

The charcoal filter (optional extra) must be
fitted for recirculation and the slider control
must be in the recirculation position.

Fitting the Cooker Hood to the
Wall

1. Remove the grille by pressing inwardly on the

two slide catches.

2. Hinge the grille forward to free it from the

guides in the side of the casing. The two
keyhole slots are now visible.

3. Hook the hood onto the screws (not supplied)

using the keyhole slots.

4. Tighten the screws to secure the hood to the

wall. Ensure the cooker hood is correctly

located before letting go.

5. Refit the grille onto the cooker hood

- insert the left hand hinge pin into the hole in
the left hand side of the casing.

- slide the right hand hinge pin into the guide
over the stop position.

- close the grille and secure using the two slide
catch bolts.
