INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible to an engineer in the event of a breakdown.

All installations must comply with the local authorities requirements for the discharge of exhaust air.

Incorrect installation may affect the safety of this cooker hood.

Installation Requirements

Before fitting the hood beneath any type of canopy or wall cabinet, ensure that the housing is firmly fixed to the wall in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

If it is necessary to fix the housing for the canopy to a hollow construction plaster or partition board structure then it should be sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the cabinet housing fixings.

Ducting

The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm (5ins) in diameter and the length should be no more than: 3 metres with one 90° bend

2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.

Clearance Height

The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking appliance at the clearance heights stated, providing the maximum output of the appliance beneath does not exceed the maximums quoted in the Technical Specifications.

If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood exceeds the maximum outputs quoted, please refer to the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Clearance Height

A minimum clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”) is required when installed above a built-in electric hob, or 700mm (27 1/2 ”) when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A minimum clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required when installed above a slot-in electric cooker, or 787mm (30 1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas cooker.
