PARTS

INSTALLATION OF THE FLAPS

The 2 air flaps should now be installed on the top of the unit, as access is easier before the unit is wall mounted. The flaps should be carefully installed, bending them slightly so the lugs at each end locate into the holes in the outlet vent. When the unit is in operation the flaps pivot upwards to allow airflow.

Please note: Ensure the small lugs at each end of each flap locate into the holes on the housing and not the grooves above them.

After installing the flaps, ensure that they are able to pivot freely within the outlet, before fixing the air outlet to the top of the unit using 2 x ST4*8 Screws.

OPTIONS FOR VENTILATION

This hood can be set up for either external venting or recirculation of the air. The type of setup should be decided before commencing installation.

EXTERNAL VENTING

If you have an outlet leading outside, your cooker hood can be connected as shown in the diagram using a flexible exhaust pipe. Alternatively, any suitable extraction duct (enamel, aluminium, flexible pipe or inflammable material with an interior diameter of 120/150mm) can be used.

An adaptor is also supplied to enable you to connect your hood to pre-existing 120mm diameter ducting.

If this is the chosen installation method, consideration to the route of the vent pipe should be made prior to installation.

NOTE: the performance of the hood may be affected if the diameter of the pipe is reduced, or if the airflow is restricted.

RECIRCULATION

This cooker hood also supports the recirculation of air once it has passed through the filters. The filtered air is then expelled through the vent holes in the side of the chimney.
When setting the unit up in this configuration, carbon filters should also be used to remove Odors from the air. Details of fitting the filters can be found in the Carbon filter section.
When setting up for recirculation the installation instructions should be followed, but the vent pipe should not be attached, allowing the air to be expelled through the vents on the side of the chimney.

INSTALLATION

• Unpack the hood and check that all functions are working. Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial plate match the voltage and frequency at the installation site.
• Check that the area behind the installation surface is clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc to avoid damage when drilling.
• The surfaces of the hood can be very easily damaged during installation. Take care with tools to protect the surfaces during installation.
• Protect the hob surface with cardboard, or similar, to prevent damage occurring whilst the hood is being installed above.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any failure to observe all safety regulations in force for the correct and normal operation of electrical products.
• Ensure the wall is level and the installation plates are horizontal to prevent grease from accumulating within the hood.
• Ensure the power has been turned off at the mains before starting installation.
• Connection to the mains supply must be in an accessible location. · You may need the following tools to complete this installation:
  • Drill appropriate for your wall
  • Phillips Screwdriver
  • Tape Measure
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.

IMPORTANT

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaustion of gases through the flue (chimney) for fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Ductless fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• When assessing the air pressure, the entire ventilation system in the house/apartment must be taken into account.
• All legal regulations must be observed for the conveyance of exhaust air. If the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode with the optional carbon filter, there are no operating restrictions.

1. Before installation, ensure you have not connected the appliance to the mains supply.

2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cm above the cooking plane for best effect.
   

3. After confirming the height of the cooker hood measure the position of the holes inside and outside of the chimney bracket for hanging the hood.

4. Drill 4 holes, 2 for the inner chimney bracket and 2 for hanging the hood, and keep the hood level. The inner chimney bracket should be secured at the highest point.

5. Screw two 4 x 30mm screws on the wall with wall plugs to fix the hood, then use two 4mm x 40mm screws to fix the inner chimney bracket.

6. Place the glass canopy on to the hood, aligning the screw holes. Place the anti-vibration rings into the 4 holes before securing the glass canopy into place by tightening the 4 bolts (M4*20) through the mounting rings into the hood.

7. Then fix the outlet on the hood and attach the adaptor.

8. Hang the hood on the wall in the desired final position.

9. Once the hood is positioned correctly, fix the unit to the wall using 2 x ST4*30 screws and wall plugs through the fixing holes. The fixing holes are located inside the unit behind the grease filters.

10. Place the two chimneys together onto the cooker hood body. Adjust the height of the inner chimney until a suitable height. Fix the inner chimney to the chimney bracket using the supplied screws (ST4*8).

EXHAUST INSTALLATION

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep the expansion pipe short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict expansion pipe.
• When using an expansion pipe always install the pipe pulled taut to minimize pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the cooker hood.
• Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Do not connect the ducting system of the hood to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other appliance, such as a warmer tube, gas tube or hot wind tube.
• The angle of the bend of the expansion pipe should be no less than 120º; you must direct the pipe horizontally, or, alternatively, the pipe should go up from the initial point and be led to an outer wall.
• After the installation, make sure that the cooker hood is level to avoid grease collection at one end.

NOTE: Ensure the expansion pipe selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.
