to meet your requirements.

We recommend you carefully read this booklet in which you will find instructions for installation, hints for 

use and maintenance.

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descrip-

tions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

With this kit it is possible to place the blower of the kitchen hood to a remote position inside the house. 

Installation of the kit must be carried out by qualified staff, following all the rules given by the relevant

ELECTRICAL

•  This cooker hood is fitted with a 3-core mains cable with a standard 10/16A earthed plug.

•  Alternatively the hood can be connected to the mains supply via a double-pole switch having 3mm 

minimum contact gap on each pole.

•  Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on 

the rating plate inside the cooker hood.

•  Technical Specification: Voltage 220-240 V, single phase ~ 50 Hz / 220 V - 60Hz.

 INSTALLATION ADVICE

•  Ensure the cooker hood is fitted in compliance with the recommended fixing heights: 150cm maximum.
•  To ensure the safe operation of this cooker hood, we recommend that the hood should not be fitted 

below 65cm (for electric) or (70cm for gas) the measurements taken from the surface of the cooking 

appliance to the underside of the cooker hood.
•  It is a possible fire risk if the hood is not sited as recommended.
•  To ensure the best results, the cooking fumes should be able to rise naturally towards the inlet grilles 

on the underside of the cooker hood and the cooker hood should be positioned away from doors and 

windows, which will create turbulence.
•  Ducting
•  If the room where the hood is to be used contains a fuel-burning appliance such as a central heating 

boiler then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.
•  If other types of flue or appliances are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to 

the room. Ensure the kitchen is fitted with an airbrick, which should have a cross-sectional measurement 

equivalent to the diameter of the ducting being fitted, if not larger.
•  The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be connected to any existing ventilation system, 

which is being used for any other purposes or to a mechanically controlled ventilation ducting.
•  The ducting used must be made from fire retardant materials and the correct diameter must be used, 

as incorrect sized ducting will affect the performance of this cooker hood.
•  When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with other appliances supplied with energy other than 

electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent the fumes from 

combustion being drawn back into the room.
•  The appliance is for domestic use only and should not be operated by children or people who are 

infirm without supervision. 
•  This appliance must be positioned so that the wall socket is accessible.
•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory 

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

FITTING

Any permanent electrical installation must comply with the latest regulations concerning this type of instal-

lation and a qualified electrician must carry out the work. Non-compliance could cause serious accidents
