Recirculation
If you are using the hood for recirculating, ensure the charcoal filters are in position following the instructions below.
Inserting the Charcoal Filters
1.Remove the grille panel, support the grille with one hand and draw down on the two grey
handles (located at each side of the grille).
2.The charcoal filters are handed and should be fitted one at a time.
3.Insert one end of the filter into the slots in the fan housing, then lower the other and until the tab engages the slot in the casing.
Extraction
The charcoal filters are not required in this mode and should be removed. To do this reverse the procedure described in Inserting the ‘Charcoal Filters’.
Ducting
The ducting used must be fire retardant 125mm (5”) in diameter. If possible duct through the wall at the rear of the canopy or wall cabinet. For the best performan- ce use the shortest possible duct run and the minimum number of bends. Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not be turned through very tight bends as this may impair the performance of the hood. It is recommended a maximum length of 3m, to be installed, to be reduced 1m for each 90° bend installed in the ducting run. If the distance is greater than 3m the efficiency of the hood could be impaired.
A ducting collar of
If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler, then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to the room.
The cooker hood ducting (extraction version) must never be connected to central heating flues, radiators or water heaters etc.
