The guarantee is only applicable if the hood has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this book. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or injury caused as a result of not following the instructions contained in the following text.
connection (Fig. 1 ).
The maximum length of ducting, including one 90˚ bend should be 3 metres, to be reduced by 1 metre for each 90˚ bend installed in the duct run.
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not be turned through very tight bends as this could impair the performance of the hood.
SAFETY WARNINGS: THIS COOKER HOOD IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY.
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.
NOTE: All installations must comply with local authorities and building regulation requirements for the discharge of exhaust air into the atmosphere.
Your new Cooker Hood can be used in the following ways:
-External exhausting model
-Recycling model
These distances between hobs and grease filter must be observed.
Minimum 600mm - over an electric hob. Minimum 700mm - over a gas or mixed fuel

Suggestions for the Installation and use:
-The horizontal sections of the pipe must be slanted slightly upwards (about 10%) to ensure an easy flow of air outwards.
-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.
Ducting:
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction, long ducts should not be used. Exhaust pipes with a minimum internal diameter of 100mm and with as smooth an inner wall as possible are recommended. The ducting MUST be manufactured from a fire retardant material. Fit the ducting spigot into the aperture on the top of the casing and make an airtight

Wall Vent Kit:
For connecting the Hood either directly through a wall or in conjunction with a ducting pipe, we recommend the use of a Wall Vent Kit. A 3m extension pipe is also available. These may be obtained from your nearest retailer or the Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back cover) and must be used where there is a cavity wall. Specific installation instructions are included with the Wall Vent Kit.
NOTE: The Wall Vent Kit has a diameter of 100mm.
Use
The hood may be used in two ways:
-External exhausting version
-Internal recycle version.
External exhausting version.
This method is recommended if at all possible. The air is conveyed out through a pipe which is connected to the outlet hole A (fig. 1) by means of a coupling flange B (fig. 1).
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the coupling flange. Attention! the hood is supplied with a grease filter, which when absorbed with grease and fat can be thrown away.
Internal recycle version.
The air is purified through an active carbon filter and returned to the room.
For instructions on how to fit and replace the carbon filter please see the section on “ caring for your cooker hood”.
