Fitting the Hood Body
Before starting to fix the hood body, tighten
the two screws Vr located on the top of the
hood body.
Hook the hood body onto the two screws
item 12a (not supplied).
Fully tighten the screws item 12a.
Using a screw driver and spirit level, adjust
the screws item Vr until the hood body is
level.
Extraction
The cooker hood is more effective when used in the
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your
retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an
outside vent of Ø125mm (5”) or Ø150mm (6”).
The ducting used must be manufactured from fire
retardent material conforming to the relevant British
Standard or DIN 4102-B1.
When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside the
charcoal filter must be removed.
Recirculation
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in the
recirculation mode, with the charcoal filter fitted.
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is
passed through the charcoal filter to be purified
and recirculated into the kitchen through the grille
outlets on either side of the chimney.
To assemble the recirculation duct, place the
recirculation outlet connection item 15 into the
support item 7.3.
Insert the extension ducts item 14.1 into either
side of the recirculation outlet item 15 ensuring the
connections are vertically and horizontally aligned
with the outlets in the chimney.
Connect the recirculation oulet item 15 to the outlet
on top of the hood body using either a piece of
Ø125mm or Ø150mm flexible or rigid pipe.
Rigid pipe is strongly recommended and should be
used where possible as this will ensure the best
performance while lowering noise.

Extraction
The charcoal filter is not required in this mode and
should be removed.
Ducting
The ducting used must be Ø150mm (6ins), or
Ø125mm (5ins) in diameter.
If possible duct through the wall immediately above
the hood body.
For the best performance use the shortest possible
duct run and the minimum number of bends.
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not be
turned through very tight bends as this may impair
the performance of the hood.
It is recommenmded a maximum length of 3 metres,
to be installed, to be reduced 1 metre for each 90o
bend installed in the ducting run.
If the distance is greater than 3 metres the efficency
of the hood could be impaired.
The diameter of the ducting spigot on the top of the
hood body item 1 is Ø150mm (6”).
When using Ø125mm (5”) ducting it will be
necessary to install the ducting adapter item 9 to
the Ø150mm (6”) outlet on the top of the hood body
and the Ø120mm to 125mm ducting collar item 10
(supplied).
If the room where the cooker hood is to
be used contains a fuel burning appliance
such as a central heating boiler, then its flue
must be of the room sealed or balanced flue
type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted
ensure that there is an adequate supply of
air to the room.
The cooker ducting (extraction mode) must
never be connected to central heating flues,
radiators or water heaters etc.
Electrical Connection and Working
