Installing your rangehood
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR RANGEHOOD
WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE
REFER TO PAGE 17 TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO
MODES.
We recommend that at least two people install this rangehood.
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then PLEASE NOTE that all
of the vent in the upper chimney section must be exposed. You will have to
take this into account when calculating the minimum height of the extractor
when installed.
If the recirculation vents are obstructed then the efficiency of the extraction
will be affected and could damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY
AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
1. The rangehood should be placed at a distance of 65-75cm (26-30inch) from the
cooking surface for the best results.
2. Drill a hole in the cupboard, 715mm*265mm for 750mm model (GPP75L), and
490mm*265mm for 520mm model (GPP52L). Make sure the distance between
the edge of the hole and the edge of the cupboard edge is at least 35mm.
3. Take down the filter and remove the four screws on the panel.
4. Use eight ST4 x 18mm screws to fix the hood into cabinet.
5. Fix the panel back to the body and install the filter.
6. Connect the ducting pipe to the outlet.

15
750mm model 520mm model
Connecting to external ducting (top)
Connect the coupling to the top of the rangehood, using two of the smaller
screws provided. (If side ducting, this is either through the wall or the soffit)
Connect a 150 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is suitable for
cooking vapours. Please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the

16
appliance but one can be obtained from the Retail outlet where you purchased
your appliance.
It is recommended to use semi- rigid aluminum ducting.
The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should
be 3 meters, with one 90 degree bend. For each additional 90 degree bend,
the maximum distance is reduced by a further meter.
Before fixing the rangehood into the kitchen unit, you should connect the
other end of the ducting hose to the coupling in the top of the rangehood.
Completing the installation
If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit
the two charcoal filters. See the section “Fitting the charcoal filter”on page 11.
The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted
on the rating plate, which is placed inside the rangehood. The appliance
should now be connected to the electrical supply. See page12 for detailed
information on the electrical connection.
Refit the grease filter and then switch on the mains supply to the appliance. Check
that the appliance is operating correctly by selecting each speed and switching the
lights on and off.

17
Extraction mode or recirculation mode
IMPORTANT: You will have to decide prior to installing your rangehood whether to
use it in extraction mode or recirculation mode.
•What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and out of the
room via external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a
charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in
the rangehood.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the rangehood is used in extraction
mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat, or if the rangehood is too far from an outside wall,
this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
•What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All rangehoods have a grease filter but if you are using your rangehood in
recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease
filter.
