Electrical Requirements
Any permanent electrical installation must comply with
the latest I.E.E. Regulations and local Electricity Board
regulations. For your own safety this should be
undertaken by a qualified electrician e.g. your local
Electricity Board, or a contractor who is on the roll 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 Switched Fuse
Connection Unit to BS1363 Part 4, fitted with a 3 Amp
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
irective No. 78 308 regarding suppression of radio
and television interference.

11
INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed
it is easily accessible to an engineer in the event o
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.
Installation Requirements
Before installation check the wall to which the
cooker hood is to be fitted for electric cables,
water pipes or gas.
If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow
construction plaster or partition board structure then it
should be sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the
area of the cooker hood mounting brackets, and the
appropriate rawl plugs used for this type of fixing (not
supplied).
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant (EFI 625) 100mm
(4ins), and (EFI 630) 125mm (5ins) in diameter and
the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the
hood and reduce the airflow.
Clearance Height
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a
cooking appliance at the clearance heights stated,
providing the maximum output of the appliance
beneath does not exceed the maximums quoted in the
Technical Specifications.
If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood
exceeds the maximum outputs quoted, please refer to
the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions.

12
A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm minimum clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm minimum clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm minimum clearance
: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm minimum clearance
Hob
Clearance Height
A minimum clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”) is
required when installed above a built-in electric hob, or
700mm (27 1/2 ”) when installed above a built-in gas
hob.
A minimum clearance height of 685mm (27”) is
required when installed above a slot-in electric cooker,
or 787mm (30 1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas
cooker.
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.
This cooker hood must not be installed above a
cooking appliance with a high level grill.
Unpacking
The fittings supplied to install this cooker hood can be
found with the instruction book inside the packaging.
The ixing kit comprises:
2 - Wall fixing brackets
6 - ecor panel fixing screws
4 - Security fixing screws
Fitting the Wall Brackets
1. Use the paper template provided to mark the
hole positions on the wall for the bracket fixing
screws (not supplied).
2. Check the hole distances are correct with a
tape measure as stated on the template.
3. At this stage it is important to allow 15mm (1/2
ins) clear space above the cooker hood to
enable it to be hooked onto the brackets and
for subsequent removal for decorating or
servicing.

13
Venting
The hood is more effective when used in the
extraction setting (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your
retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an
outside vent o (EFI 625) 100mm (4 ins) or (EFI
630) 125mm (5 ins) minimum.
The ducting used must be manufactured from
fire retardant material.
When the cooker hood is ducted externally the
charcoal filter/s must be removed.
To Fit the Ducting
1. Open the grille by pressing inwardly on the
actuator bolts at each side of the grille, while
pulling the grille panel downwards. The grille
panel will slide into the intermediate position.
Raise the lower edge of the grille forward
through 45° angle until the grille becomes
detached from the slide mechanism.
2. Align the flat sides on the spigot with the
recesses in the top of the casing. Insert and
snap fix the spigot into the casing.
3.1 EFI 625 - Connect the 100mm (4 ins) ducting
to the spigot and make an air tight seal.
3.2 EFI 630 - Fit the 120 to 125mm flange to the
spigot, then connect the 125mm (5 ins) ducting
to the spigot and make an air tight seal.
4. Remove the charcoal filters.
Recirculation
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in the
recirculation mode with the charcoal filter/s fitted.
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is passed
through the charcoal filter/s to be purified and
recirculated into the kitchen through the outlet on the
top of the cooker hood.

14
Fitting the Cooker Hood to the Wall
1. Fit the brackets with the round ends facing
downwards using the plastic rawl plugs and
screws provided.
2. Once the brackets are secured, lift the hood
squarely to the wall slightly higher than the
brackets and lower the cooker hood until it is
located onto the two brackets.
nsure that the cooker hood is correctly
located before letting go.
3. By loosening the screws in the extension arm
the hood can be aligned with the front of the
adjoining wall cabinets.
4. The hood should be secured on each side to
the adjoining wall cabinets using the 4 x 15mm
(1/2 ins) security screws provided.
5. Adjust the lower spacer panel at the rear of the
hood to close the gap to the wall.
Decor Panel
The dimensions of the door panel should be 596mm
(23 1/2 ins) wide by 350mm (13 3/4 ins) in height.
Fitting a Decor Panel to the Hood
Visor
1. Remove the complete visor assembly by first
pulling the visor open while simultaneously
pressing down on the release catch located
behind the visor on the left hand side of the
casing.
2. Using the paper template provided, mark the
screw hole positions on the reverse side of the
decor panel. Ensure that the paper template is
aligned with the top edge of the decor panel.
Failure to align the top edge of the decor panel
with the template will prevent the visor from
opening when installed.
3. Before drilling, use a tape measure to check
the distances of the screw holes (as given on
the template). The template may have altered
due to dampness after manufacture.
4. Use the 6 x 15mm (1/2 ins) round headed
screws provided to attach the decor panel to
the hood visor.

15
To Re it the Hood with Decor Panel
Attached
1. Insert the upper visor guides into the upper
track in the front of the casing.
2. Pull down the bottom edge of the visor and
insert the lower guides into the track in the
bottom of the casing.
3. Push the visor in until an audible click is heard.
4. The visor can now be opened and closed in its
normal function.
Adjustment
If a heavy door is fitted or if the visor will not stay
closed it may be necessary to make an adjustment to
the closing mechanism of the visor.
Insert a small flat bladed screw driver through the hole
(the friction assembly) on either side of the casing
indicated by the letter “V” and turn clockwise to apply
pressure on the guide.
Both friction assemblies should be adjusted by the
same amount to ensure the visor opens smoothly.
Care should be taken when removing the visor
with the decor panel for cleaning or servicing,
as the visor is now extremely heavy and should
it be dropped, it could damage the appliance
beneath and adjoining work surfaces.
