Installing your Cooker Hood, Thermal CUT-OUT

Installing your Cooker Hood

SAFETY WARNINGS: THIS COOKER HOOD IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY.

When installed above a cooking appliance, the distance between the surface of the hob elements and the lower grille of the chimney hood must be as follows:

Minimum 650mm - over an electric hob. Minimum 750mm - over a gas or mixed fuel

hob.

This chimney hood is not suitable for installation above a cooking appliance with a high level grill.

THERMAL CUT-OUT:

The fan motor of this appliance incorporates a thermal cut-out device which will operate if the hood is installed below the minimum recommended heights listed above, or if the motor becomes overheated. If the cut-out device is activated, switch off the fan motor and allow the hood to cool.

The cut-out device will reset itself when the fan motor has cooled significantly.

NOTE: This hood has been designed and approved for installation over an electric hob with a maximum input of 7kW or a gas hob with a maximum input of 10kW when fitted in accordance with the heights recommended above.

Your Cooker Hood can be installed either for recirculation back to the room or extraction through an outside wall.

When used in the extraction mode the Cooker Hood ducting must not be connected to a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from a central heating flue or water heating flue.

IMPORTANT: The exhaust air must not be expelled through a smoke or waste-gas chimney which is in use or through a shaft used for ventilating rooms or into the cavity of a cavity wall or into a cupboard above the cooker hood.

If the room contains, a flued fuel burning appliance, such as a gas or oil fired central heating boiler which is not of the ‘Balanced Flue’ type, you should make sure that there is adequate air inlet into the room at all times, so that fumes from the boiler are not drawn back into the room by the Cooker Hood.

NOTE: All installations must comply with local authorities and building regulation requirements for the discharge of exhaust air into the atmosphere.

All the fittings are supplied. If the hood is to be installed onto a hollow construction or plaster board wall, then special fixings will have to be purchased.

Before drilling, care should be taken to check for electric cables, water pipes or gas pipes in the location where the cabinet/canopy is to be fitted.

If the hood can only be fixed to a hollow construction plaster or partition board structure, then the wall must be sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the mounting brackets.

To avoid the risk of accidents when fitting the canopy and chimney to the wall or ceiling please read and follow the installation instructions.

For ease of installation proceed as follows:

1.Fix the wall brackets.

2.Fix the canopy hood.

3.Connect the hood to the mains supply ensuring that the canopy is functioning correctly.

4.Select the type of installation, ie. ducting or recirculation.

5.Fix the chimney stack.

NOTE: The hood is more efficient in the exhaust mode, therefore, this position should be selected during the warmer months of the year when no heating is being used. When the room is being heated, if the recycle position is selected heat will not be wasted.
