FUSE RATING: 5 AMP
Your appliance must be connected to fixed wiring via the use of a
double pole switched fused spur outlet with at least 3mm contact
separation. We strongly recommend the appliance is connected by a
qualified electrician who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. or Corgi who
will
comply
with
the
I.E.E.
and
any
local
regulations.
Note:
The terminology “double pole” means that both the live and
neutral supplies are switched and disconnected at the same time.
The terminations labelled SUPPLY are for the internal house wiring
and the terminations labelled LOAD are for connection for the
appliance.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Important:
The wires in this mains lead are
coloured in accordance
with the following code:- Green/Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown
= Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter ‘E’ or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is
coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured
black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter ‘L’ or coloured red.
Height above Hotplates
For best performance we suggest that the hood is installed at a distance between 65cm to 75cm
from the hotplate surface. Under no circumstances should the hood be installed lower than 65cm
above the hotplate surface.
Ducting out / Filtering
The hood can be used as a filtering version or as a ducted version. It is always preferable to
install the hood as a ducted version i.e. duct to an outside wall. If this is not practical, charcoal
filters can be fitted. In the filtering mode the air drawn in is purified as it passes through the
charcoal filters, the air is then recycled back into the kitchen. It is realistic to assume that using a
hood in filtering mode will be less efficient than ducting out. Charcoal filters are an optional extra
and will require replacing after 120 hours of use or at least every 6 months. Charcoal filters are
not required if you duct out. If the hood is used as a filtering version, please note that the filters
will help reduce cooking odours but will not reduce steam or condensation. If you wish to reduce
steam, condensation and cooking odours then you must duct out.
