in extraction mode or recirculation mode. Please refer to page 17 to understand the
differences between these two modes.
oWe recommend that at least two people install this rangehood.
oIf 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.
oIMPORTANT: 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) Determine the correct height for the hood and fix the hook. Ensure that the hook
is level when fixed. Mark and fix the inner chimney bracket as described in the
section “Fitting the chimney” on page 13.
2) Fix the outer chimney bracket to the outer chimney ensuring that the inner
chimney is free to slide to the required height and the exhaust ducting does not
impede the movement. Then fit the exhaust ducting and the chimney assembly
to the hood and hang on the hook.

13
3) Feed the exhaust ducting to your desired position then adjust the height of the
inside chimney to the inner chimney bracket and screw in place. Once the
position is fixed secure the unit with two safety screws through the Ø6mm holes
in the back casing.
Fitting the chimney
9) Take the two chimney sections (C) and (D).
oRest the bottom of chimney section (C) on the
top of the hood. You should take care to position
the tabs on the chimney section into the rear of
the hood.
oMark the side measurement of both sides of
chimney section (C) on the wall with a pencil.

14
10) Lift chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it
is perpendicular to the hood.
oMark the side measurements of both sides of chimney section (D) on the wall with a
pencil and then remove chimney section (D).
11) Take the flat bracket (E) and
place it between the two pencil
marks that you made in step 9.
oKeeping the bracket in contact
with the wall, use a pencil to
mark on the wall the anchoring holes that are cut out of the bracket.
12) Using a 6 mm drill bit, drill two holes on
the pencil markings that you made in step 10.
Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then use
a screwdriver to secure the fixing bracket to
the wall.

oRefit chimney section (C) to the hood and fix it onto the hood using the two screws
that are supplied.
oSecure the top of chimney section (C) to the flat bracket, using the screws provided.
oSlide chimney section (D) inside of chimney section (C). Then secure the L
shaped bracket to the wall, using the same method as you have just used to
secure the lower bracket.
13) Lift chimney section (D) up to the ceiling and secure it to the L shaped bracket using
the screws provided.
Connecting to external ducting (top)
oConnect 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).

16
oConnect 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 appliance but
one can be obtained from the Retail outlet where you purchased your appliance.
oThe maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should
be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend. For each additional 90 degree bend, the
maximum distance is reduced by a further metre.
oBefore 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 cooker hood.
Completing the installation
If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two
carbon filters. See the section “Fitting the carbon filter” on page 9.
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 page 10 for detailed information on the electrical

Extraction 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.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
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.

18
