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 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
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.

A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm minimum clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm minimum clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm minimum clearance
D: 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 - Decor 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”) 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 100mm (4”)
minimum.
The ducting used must be manufactured from
fire retardant material.
When the hood is ducted externally the
charcoal filter 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. Connect the ducting to the spigot and make an
air tight seal.
4. Remove the charcoal filter.
Recirculation
The charcoal filter (optional extra) must be fitted for
recirculation.

14
Fitting the Cooker Hood to the Wall
1. it 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. Lower the cooker hood until it is located
onto the two brackets.
Ensure 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
59.6cm (23 1/2 ins) wide by 35cm (13 3/4 ins) in
height.
Fitting a Decor Panel to the Hood
Visor
1. Remove the complete visor assembly by pulling
open into the operating position, simultaneously
press 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.

15
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.
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. Hinge 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.
