OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 19 TO
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODES.
oWe recommend that at least two people install this hood.
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 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”.

15
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.
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.

16
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.
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).

17
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 out two holes on the pencil markings
that you made in step 11. 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.

18
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 cooker hood, using two of
the smaller screws provided (if side ducting, this is either
through the wall or the Soffit)
oConnect a 150 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is
suitable for cooking vapours.
oThe discharge outlet should have a cross section of at least 150
cm² (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the
appliance but one can be obtained from 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 cooker hood 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 “Fitting the carbon filter” section
on page 11.

19
The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement
noted on the rating plate, which is placed inside the cooker hood. The
appliance should now be connected to the electrical supply. See pages
12-13 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 light bulb on and off
EXTRACTION OR RECIRCULATING MODE
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE 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 hood.
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 the hood 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 filters must be fitted
in addition to the grease filter.
