spigots protrude from the rear and prevent you from
inserting the extractor into your prepared opening.
• Instead, the blower and spigot plate assembly must be
separated from the extractor and pulled back inside the
appliance. 4 nuts secure the rear exit blower plates to studs
on the rear of the extractor. These are accessible through
the filter openings and will need to be removed so that the
blower assembly can be pulled back into the extractor body
prior to installation.
• Once the hood has been installed, flexible duct can then be
pulled into the extractor and attached to the duct spigots
prior to refitting the blower assemblies. This can be fiddly to
do so you may wish to use a rigid duct instead, which,
providing the duct route and spigot are properly aligned, can
be pushed onto the spigot from behind/outside after the
hood is in position.
Take care not to obstruct any backdraught flaps when
connecting flexible or semi rigid ducting.
• Make sure the electrical supply from your switched
spur is disconnected - the power supply for the
extractor must be off!
• For remote motor models only, make the electrical
connections between the remote motor cable and the
remote motor terminal box on top of the extractor, as
described in 4.3.
• Connect the electrical supply cord of the extractor to
the mains electrical supply spur.
If you are connecting the extractor into a switched mains
electrical socket within your opening, make sure the switch
is in the ‘on’ position before proceeding. The spur feeding
the socket should remain switched off.
• Push the extractor up through the prepared opening
until the spring toggles are heard to snap over the edge
of the opening – we recommend that two people do this
(supporting one end of the extractor each). Carefully
release the unit, ensuring that it is supported within the
opening by all four spring toggles. If a spring toggle fails to
catch, try pushing upwards again and if this fails, remove
the unit (as described in 4.6) and check the panel thickness
and setting of the spring toggles as described earlier.
Note: Take care when inserting the extractor not to kink or
introduce excessive bends in you ducting or to trap wires.
• Re-enable the two sprung safety clips by once again pulling
the safety clip release (Fig 1.) and sliding the clip latch back
into the slot from which it was earlier withdrawn. The clip
latch should pass fully through the outer casing.
• Close up gaps between the soffit panel and the units
outer flange by turning the spring toggle height adjustment
screws clockwise. If the gap is larger than 2mm then this
should be done in stages, working your way around each
adjustment screw in turn until the unit has been pulled up
into position.
• For Rear Outlet Models Only, working through the filter
opening, connect ducting to the blower spigots and refit the
blower assemblies to the rear panel of the extractor, using
the nuts and washers you removed earlier. Note, if using
rigid ducting (providing the duct route and spigot are
properly aligned) it may be easier to push ducting onto the
spigots from behind/outside after the blowers are refitted.
Do not use power drivers to turn the spring toggle
height adjustment screws.
Test the function of the unit as described in the operating
instructions (Section 6).
If the unit does not function correctly, isolate the electrical
supply and check all the electrical connections before
contacting Westin.
4.6. Removing the Extractor
• First remove the grease filters and ensure that the sprung
safety clip is correctly set. Only the clip release hoop and
mounting arm should be on the inside of the unit with the
rest of the clip fully through the slot in the extractor casing
(as in Fig 1). If in doubt, pull the clip release to reveal the
clip latch and make sure that it passes fully back through
the casing when released.
• With the safety clips correctly set, turn the spring toggle
height adjustment screws anti-clockwise. The extractor will
gradually start to lower. This is best done in stages, working
your way around the 4 screws thus lowering the unit evenly
and avoiding undue stress on any one spring toggle.
Note: as you turn the adjustment screws, the spring toggles
gradually rise until they reach the top of their slots, after
which they start to retract into the extractor casing.
You will know when the spring toggles start to retract
because the extractor will start to rise up into the soffit rather
than lower. When this happens, you should support the
extractor and continue to turn the screws carefully
clockwise. When the spring toggles have retracted
sufficiently, the unit will no longer be held in place by them
and the unit may drop suddenly if you are not supporting the
extractor.
• The sprung safety clips are there to catch the unit and to
prevent it falling from the opening in the soffit. Lower the
extractor carefully until the safety clips are supporting it - if
the opening has not been correctly prepared, then the safety
clips may not catch on the edge of the opening, so be
prepared to continue lowering the unit down and out of the
opening.
• Two people are required to lower the unit safely.
The unit is released for final lowering by each person pulling
the safety clip release back into the extractor, whilst
supporting the unit with their other hand (thus disengaging
them from the soffit so that the unit can be carefully
lowered).
