your local Electricity Board, or a contractor who is on the roll of the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC). Electrical Connection Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the cooker hood. This appliance is fitted with a 2 core mains cable and must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double-pole switch having 3mm minimum contact gap on each pole. A Switched Fuse Connection Unit to BS.1363 Part 4, fitted with a 3 A fuse is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with the Safety Requirements applicable to fixed wiring instructions. This appliance conforms to BS.800: 1988 and EEC Directive No. 78 308 regarding suppression of radio and television interference. 10 INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible to an engineer in the event of a breakdown. All installations must comply with the local authorities requirements for the discharge of exhaust air. Incorrect installation may affect the safety of this cooker hood. Installation Requirements Before installation check the wall to which the cooker hood is to be fitted for electric cables, water pipes or gas. If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow construction plaster or partition board structure then it should be sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the cooker hood mounting brackets, and the appropriate rawl plugs used for this type of fixing (not supplied). Ducting The ducting must be fire retardant 100mm (4ins) in diameter and the length should be no more than: 3 metres with one 90° bend 2 metres with two 90° bends Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow. Positioning The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking appliance at the clearance heights stated, providing the maximum output of the appliance beneath does not exceed the maximums quoted in the Technical Specifications. If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood exceeds the maximum output quoted, please refer to the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions. 11 Clearance Heights When installing above an Electrolux hob (as specified in the table below) the minimum distance between the surface of the hob elements/pan supports and the lower grille of the cooker hood must be 60cm (23 5/8”).

A minimum clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required when installed above a slot-in electric oven, or 787mm (30 1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas oven. When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the wall cabinets must not overhang the hob and the distance between the underside of the cabinet and the worktop must be 450mm. If the height of the wall cabinet is less than 450mm a gap of 50mm must be maintained either side of the hob. This cooker hood must not be installed above a cooking appliance with a high level grill.

Mark the position on the wall for the two O 8mm dia screw holes (A) as illustrated in the drawing opposite at 568mm. 2. Check that the hole distances are correct and are level using a spirit level. 3. At this stage it is important to allow 25mm (1”) clear space above the cooker hood to enable it to be hooked onto the screws and for subsequent removal for decorating or servicing. 4. Insert the screws and tighten to a distance of 5mm. Venting The hood is more effective when used in the extraction setting (ducted to the outside). Venting kits may be purchased through your retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an outside vent of 100mm (4”) minimum. The ducting used must be manufactured from fire retardant material which should conform to the relevant British Standard or DIN4102-B1. When the hood is ducted externally the charcoal filter must be removed and the slider control must be in the ducting position. 13 To Fit the Ducting 1. Fit the ducting spigot and blanking plate, by aligning the interlocking lugs on the fittings, wi...
