Preparing for installation.

•The extractor hood has the ability to:

•Recirculate the filtered air back into the kitchen. Use this method where you cannot vent though the ceiling

•Or to vent the filtered air through the ceiling and to the outside.

•Decide on which option best suits you before commencing with the installa- tion.

1Recirculating filtered air.

•The extractor hood filters out solid par- ticles before the air is recirculated, via the vents on the side of the upper chimney, into the kitchen.

•Care must be taken during installation not to obstruct these vents.

•No ducting is required for this type of installation.

2Venting air to the outside.

When discharging the air into a ventila- tion shaft or directly through the wall into the open , please take note of the fol- lowing:

•Exhaust air from the extractor hood must not be directed into a flue or chimney which is used for exhaust- ing the fumes or smoke from other appliances burning gas or fuels.

•Please ensure that regulations con- cerning the discharge of exhaust air have been fulfilled. (SABS IEC 60335-2-31).

For optimum extractor hood efficiency use a short, smooth, round air exhaust pipe with as few bends as possible A 150mm diameter exhaust pipe is recommended. Long box section, narrowed or bent pipes will hinder performance and increase noise levels.

•Connecting a 150 mm diameter pipe: Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet on the extractor hood.

•Connecting a 125 mm or 100mm di- ameter pipe: Attach a reducing connec- tor (available from a specialist retailer) to the air pipe and then attach to the ex- haust-air duct.
