Electrolux EFG 530, EFG 525 Unpacking, Fitting the Cooker Hood into the Housing/Canopy, Venting

When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the wall cabinets must not overhang the hob and the distance between the underside of the cabinet and the worktop must be 450mm. If the height of the wall cabinet is less than 450mm, a gap of 50mm must be maintained either side of the hob.

This cooker hood must not be installed above a cooking appliance with a high level grill.

Unpacking

The fittings supplied to install this cooker hood can be found with the instruction book inside the packaging:

120 - 125 mm ducting collar

Fitting the Cooker Hood into the Housing/Canopy

The hood is fixed to the housing using the screw holes located around the base of the casing. Access to the screw holes will require the removal of the metal grille panel.

Positioning the Cooker Hood

Measure the underside of the canopy or kitchen cabinet to mark the position for the cut-out. The cut- out measurement should be:

-497mm (19 5/8”) wide

-259mm (10 1/4”) deep

Check the position of the hole is correct with the measurements above before making the cut-out.

The hood is fixed using the holes located in the rim around the base of the casing visible when the inlet grille is in the open position.

Support the grille panel with one hand and draw down on the two grey handles (A) which are located on each side of the grille with the other hand.

Raise the hood into the cut out and mark the positions for the fixing screws. Pilot drill the fixing holes and fit the hood.

Venting

The hood is more effective when used in the extraction mode (ducted to the outside). Venting kits maybe purchased through your retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an outside vent of 125mm (5”) minimum.

The ducting used must be manufactured from fire retardant material.

When the hood is ducted externally the charcoal filters must be removed.
