Before beginning installation
• Check that the product purchased is of a
suitable size for the chosen installation area.
In addition check whether there is an electrical
socket available that will be accessible once
the hood is mounted. If the product is going to
be used in extraction mode, then there should
also be space to connect a ducting hose to the
outside.
• Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to
the of the cooker hood.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are
carried out by a suitably
person.
• Before commencing installation of the cooker
hood the grease
should be removed.
• Check inside the product and ensure that
there is no transit packaging or any other
materials, such as packets of screws,
guarantees etc. These should be removed and
kept for future use.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding
or slot-in cookers from their position, to
provide easier access to the rear wall and
cupboards. If this is not possible, then a thick,
protective covering should be placed over
the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help
to protect these surfaces from damage and
debris.
• Select a
surface for assembling the cooker
hood. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all cooker hood parts and
on it.
• Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance
to the wall or cabinetry. This appliance is
designed to be surface mounted only.
Installing your cooker hood
You will have to decide before installing your
cooker hood whether to use it in extraction mode
or recirculation mode.
We recommend that at least two people install this
hood.
Your cooker hood should only be
to a wall and
secured between two cupboards.
It must be positioned at least 650mm above the
hob underneath it. This measurement should be
taken from the highest point on the hob, including
the burners.
Your cooker hood should only be connected to the
mains power supply after the rest of the installation
process has been completed.
