fitted ensure that there is an adequate
supply of air to the room.
•When the cooker hood is used in
conjunction with appliances supplied
with energy other than electricity, the
negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 0.4mbar to prevent fumes
being drawn back into the room by the
hood.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: DOUBLE INSULATED DO
NOT EARTH
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Any permanent electrical installation must
comply with the latest I.E.E. Regulations
and local Electricity Company regulations.
For your own safety this should be
undertaken by a qualified electrician e.g.
your local Electricity Company, or a
contractor who is on the role of the
National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting (NICEIC).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting to the mains supply
ensure that the mains voltage corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate inside
the cooker hood.
This appliance is fitted with a 2-core
mains cable and must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply via a
double-pole switch having 3mm minimum
contact gap on each pole. A Switch Fuse
Connection Unit to BS.1361 Part 4, fitted
with a 3A fuse is a recommended mains
supply connection accessory to ensure
compliance with the Safety Requirements
applicable to fixed wiring instructions.
This appliance conforms to BS.800: 1988 and EEC Directive 78:308 regarding
suppression of radio and television.
NOTE: CE Marking certifies that this appliance complies with the requirements
laid down in EEC Directive 89:336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility and
subsequent modifications; EEC Directive 73/23 (Low Voltage) and any
subsequent modifications.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible to an
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
All installations must comply with the local
authorities requirements for the discharge
of exhaust air.
Incorrect installation may affect the safety
of this cooker hood.
IMPORTANT: Before installation
check the wall to which the cooker
hood is to be fitted for electric
cables, water pipes or gas pipes
before drilling.
If it is necessary to fix the cooker hood to
a hollow construction plaster or partition
board structure then it must be sufficiently
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of
the hood mounting brackets and special
screws and Rawlplugs may be required
which are suitable for hollow plaster or
partition board walls.
The installation work must be undertaken
by a qualified and competent person. The
manufacturer disclaims any responsibility
for damages due to incorrect installation
of the cooker hood or if the cooker hood
is not installed in compliance with the
relevant regulations controlling this type
of installation.
UNPACKING
Before unpacking the cooker hood
position the carton with the arrows
pointing upwards as illustrated on the
carton. Care should be taken when
unpacking the cooker hood to ensure that
the items supplied below are not thrown
away with the box.
1 No. Template
6 No. Fixing screws
1 No. 100mm dia. ducting spigot
CLEARANCE HEIGHTS
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted
over a cooking appliance at the clearance
heights stated, provided the maximum
output of the hob beneath does not
exceed 7kw for electric and 10kw for gas.
If the output of the appliance below the
cooker hood exceeds the maximum
outputs quoted, please refer to the cooker
manufacturer's installation instructions.
A minimum height of 650mm is required
when installed above an electric hob, or
700mm when installed above a built-in
gas hob.
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.
Do not install above a cooker with a
high level grill.
FITTING INTO A WALL CABINET
To fit the cooker hood into the wall
cabinet, use the paper template provided
to mark the hole position on the underside
of the cabinet. When fitted the trim rail
along the front of the cooker hood must
align with the front of the cabinet door.
It is important to check the hole is
positioned correctly using a tape
measure before cutting the hole and
no metal fastenings obstruct the
cut-out.
Cut the hole in the base of the cabinet
using a pad saw or jig saw. Open the
metal grease filter tray and remove it.
Raise the hood into the cut-out ready for
fixing. Pilot drill the holes for the fixing
screws from inside the hood and fix the
hood using the screws in the bag of
fittings provided.

Page 5 TSCH Slide-out Extractors.doc
FITTING THE SPACER
After fitting the hood into the wall cabinet,
the spacer provided should be fitted on
the underside of the hood, at the rear to
close off the space between the hood and
wall. The spacer can be adjusted from a
minimum of 1mm to a maximum of
30mm.
EXTRACTION
The cooker hood is supplied in the
extraction mode. In the extraction mode
contaminated air enters the cooker hood,
passes through the grease filter and out
through ducting to the atmosphere.
The cooker hood is more effective when
used in the extraction mode.
DUCTING
The preferred ducting should be rigid fire
retardant and must be 100mm in
diameter. Flexible ducting should only be
used for short runs or as an accessory.
Flexible ducting should not be turned
through very tight bends as this may
impair the performance of the cooker
hood.
The length of ducting should be no more
than:
3 meters with one 90° bend
2 meters with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the cooker hood and reduce
the airflow.
RECIRCULATION
The cooker hood is supplied suitable for
use in the extraction mode, without the
(optional) charcoal filter fitted.
In the recirculation mode contaminated air
enters the cooker hood, passes through
the grease filter and cleansing charcoal
filter and back out into the kitchen
through a duct in the top of the kitchen
cabinet.
When installed in the recirculation mode it
will be necessary for the installer to
fabricate a chimney from the ducting
spigot on the top of the cooker hood to a
terminal grille in the top of the kitchen
cabinet.
FITTING THE CHARCOAL FILTER
Open the metal grease filter tray and
remove it. Place the charcoal filter Fig. B
over the fan cover Fig. A while holding the
filter securely and insert the disk Fig. C,
turning the disk clockwise.
The TSCHB3 and TSCHW3 hood
require one CAP10CF charcoal filter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLS
The cooker hood functions are controlled
by an automatic microswitch and a slider
switch.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Ensure the cooker hood is switched `ON'
at the supply connection unit.
AUTOMATIC MICROSWITCH
The `automatic microswitch' is activated
by the movement of the telescopic
mechanism and switches the worktop
lighting and fan motor ON when opened
and OFF when closed.

at the front of the hood controls the fan
speeds.
Position-1should be selected when
simmering and using up to
four pans.
Position-2should be selected when
frying or cooking food with a
strong odour.
To obtain the best performance it is
advisable to switch `ON' the hood a few
minutes before you start cooking and
leave it running for approximately 15
minutes after finishing.
DO'S AND DONTS
DOS
•Do take extra care when frying.
•Do keep heating areas on your hob
covered over with pots and pans when
using the hob and hood
simultaneously.
DONTS
•Don't leave naked flames under the
hood.
•Don't leave frying pans unattended
during use, as over heated fats and
oils may catch fire.
