 INSTALLATION ADVICE

• Ensure the cooker hood is fitted in compliance with the recommended fixing heights.
• 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.
