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

structure then it should be sufficiently
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the
cooker hood keyhole fixing screws, and the
appropriate rawl plugs used for this type of
fixing (not supplied).
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant 100mm (4ins)
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

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 oven, or 787mm (30 1/2 ”) when
installed above a slot-in gas oven.
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.

Ø 8mm dia screw holes (A) as illustrated in the
drawing opposite at 568mm.
2. Check that the hole distances are correct and
are level using a spirit level.

clear space above the cooker hood to enable it
to be hooked onto the screws and for
subsequent removal for decorating or
servicing.
4. Insert the screws and tighten to a distance of
5mm.

fire retardant material which should conform to
the relevant British Standard or IN4102-B1.
When the hood is ducted externally the
charcoal filter must be removed and the
slider control must be in the ducting position.
To Fit the Ducting
1. Fit the ducting spigot and blanking plate, by
aligning the interlocking lugs on the fittings,
with the recesses in the aperture as illustrated
in (A) and (B) opposite.
2. Insert and turn anti-clockwise to lock the spigot
and blanking plate into position.
Recirculation
The charcoal filter must be fitted for recirculation
and the slider control must be in the recirculation
position.

wall. Ensure the cooker hood is correctly
located be ore letting go.
