Installation
IMPORTANT:
The extractor is intended to be mounted directly to the ceiling using fixings appropriate for the ceiling. Ensure that there is adequate ceiling strength and supports at the fixing points; if in doubt, consult a joiner or electrician.
Mounting Your Extractor:
When the extractor is to be installed above an electric hob, the minimum distance between the hob and extractor must exceed 600mm (650mm is recommended)
When the extractor is to be mounted above a gas hob, the minimum distance between the hob and the extractor must exceed 700mm (750mm is recommended)
If the instructions provided with your hob state that the required distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than 700mm, then that distance should be observed; this is a legal requirement and may lead to your hob being disconnected from the gas supply and the installation being reported to RIDDOR (The height should be measured from the top of the burners.
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY SUPPLIED INSTRUCTIONS WITH YOUR GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm
The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor installed above it.
Ducting and Ventilation
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the use of 120mm ducting. You can also use 100mm ducting but this will reduce performance.
540 – 820mm |
Electric: 650mm recommended |
Gas: 750mm recommended |
