Step 1: The canopy should be placed at a minimum distance of 65cm
above the cooking surface when placed above an electric hob and a
minimum of 75cm above the cooking surface when placed above a gas
cooktop. (Refer Pic 8).
Step 2: To install, drill 3 holes of Ø8mm along a level line at the desired
height. This line will hold the bracket that holds the canopy to the wall
(Refer Pic 9). Insert the screws into the holes and fasten securely to the
wall ensuring that the screws fix into material that has sufficient load
capacity to hold the weight of the canopy.
Step 3: Add the ducting to the top of the canopy and fix firmly. Run the
ducting to the outside of the building envelope ensuring that the ducting
is not kinked or crimped in any way. (Refer Pic 10)
Step 4: Calculate the final height of the chimney cover and mark the
position of the second bracket. Affix the bracket to the wall at the desired
height.
Step 5: Lift the first section of chimney cover onto the canopy. Place the
second part of the chimney cover inside the first and lift up to the final
bracket height. Fix the chimney cover to the top bracket using the screws
provided. (Refer Pic 11 & Pic 12).
