Installing your Cooker Hood
Your new Cooker Hood can be installed either for recirculation or extraction through an outside wall.
Installation:
These distances, between hobs and grease filter must be observed.
Minimum 65cm | over an electric hob. |
Minimum 75cm | over a gas hob. |
Minimum | over a high level grill/ |
See page 7. | top oven. |

Installation for Recirculation:
If it is not possible to exhaust to the outside, the hood can be used to filter and recirculate the air (Fig.1).
Fig.1
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 recirculation position is selected heat will not be wasted.
To obtain the best performance it is advisable to switch on the hood a few minutes before you start cooking and leave it running approximately 15 minutes after finishing.
Installation for Extraction:
Fig.3
-To set deflector ready for extraction, slide the conversion control towards the outside of the conveyor until index C is visible (Fig.2a).
-To set deflector ready for recirculation, slide the control towards the inside of the conveyor (Fig.2b). Pull the plastic tongue that blocks the index C outwards, to make the insertion of the deflector easier. Fit the supplied cover on the upper outlet hole.

Extraction Recirculation
This method is recommended if at all possible. Fumes and grease laden air are drawn into the underside of the hood and expelled out.
The air can be expelled either upwards through a ventilating shaft (Fig.3 A) or directly through the wall to the outside (Fig.3 B). Ducting will be required if the Cooker Hood is mounted away from the outside vent.
To connect the pipe, fit the coupling ring (Fig.3 C) in the selected outlet. Use the cover (Fig.3 D) to close the unused outlet.
IMPORTANT: The exhaust air must not be expelled through a smoke or
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.
