Safety warnings – for the installer

When installing the cooker hood, make sure you adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from the cooker hood base to the hob surface. (Refer to Installation manual). Exhaust flue installation: The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction.

• Keep the exhaust flue short and straight.
  • Do not reduce the size or restrict the exhaust flue. Keep bends in the exhaust flue to a minimum.
  • When using semi-rigid flue always install duct with helix pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
  • Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the cooker hood.

Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources.
Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to backflow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that backflow of combustion gases does not occur.

NOTE: Some installations may require the telescopic exhaust cover to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin snips or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to distort or dent the exhaust cover. Some additional accessories may be required for installation
