Operating modes
This appliance can be used in extraction-air mode or circulating air mode.
Extraction-air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and extracted outside by a hose.
Important Notes:
• The extracted air must not be extracted into a functioning smoke, exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to ventilate installation rooms which contain heat-producing appliances.
• Before the extracted air is extracted into a non-functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.
• If the extracted air is carried through the outer wall, a telescopic wall box should be used.
Circulating-air mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease filters and a carbon filter (carbon filter is not supplied with your appliance) and extracted back into the kitchen.
Important Note: To remove odours in circulating-air mode, you must install a carbon filter (carbon filter is not supplied with your appliance) . Please contact Product Care or visit the Russell Hobbs website to purchase carbon filter. Dependent on use it is recommended that a carbon filters are changed every 2 – 3 months.
Installation
Preparation
Ensure that there are no electric wires, gas or water pipes in the area where holes are to be made.
1. Ensure that there is an electrical plug socket within adequate distance of the hood after it has been installed.
2. Mark a vertical centre line on the wall from the ceiling to the worktop in the centre of the area that the cooker hood is to be fitted.
3. Mark 3 horizontal lines on the wall in the following positions:
- A. A horizontal line A at 970 – 1070 mm above the cooker top
- B. A horizontal line B at X mm above the horizontal line A.
- C. A horizontal line C at a 243 mm below the horizontal line A .
4. Mark the positions for the screws and the contour of the attachment area. Always ensure that the marks are level with a spirit level.
- 1. Mark 2 points (1) on the horizontal line A, 80 mm either side of the vertical reference line.
- 2. Mark 2 points (2) on the horizontal line B, 60 mm either side of vertical reference line.
- 3. Mark a point (3) on the horizontal line C, 100 mm either side of vertical reference line.
5. Drill holes at the marked points and insert the wall plugs:
- 1. 3 x 10mm Ø holes to a depth of 50mm for the hood fixing bracket and press the wall plugs flush with the wall. Horizontal line A.
- 2. Drill 2 x 10mm Ø holes to a depth of 50mm for the wall mounted flue duct fixing bracket and press the wall plugs flush with the wall (at the appropriate height and will depend on the height of the ceiling). Horizontal line B.
- 3. Drill 2 x 10mm Ø holes to a depth of 50mm for the safety screws. Horizontal line C.
6. Screw on the hood and wall mounted flue duct fixing brackets with the large screws.
Constructing and aligning the appliance.
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves
1. Partially remove the protective film from the back of the appliance.
2. Hook the appliance on to the hood fixing bracket (ensure the hood is fully hooked onto the hood fixing bracket, as the hooks on the bracket are stepped) and check that it is level with a spirit level.
3. Remove the appliance from the hood fixing bracket and following installation, remove the film completely.
4. Attach the lower (bigger) flue duct to the appliance and secure it at the rear of the appliance (at the bottom) with 2 small screws. At the top of the lower (bigger) flue duct secure the flue ducting bracket to the duct with 2 small screws at the rear.
Attaching the appliance
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
1. Slide the upper (smaller) flue duct into the lower (bigger) flue duct.
2. Carefully mount the appliance onto the hood fixing bracket (ensure the hood is fully hooked onto the hood fixing bracket, as the hooks on the bracket are stepped).
3. Remove the aluminium filters from the underside of the hood (see page 19) and fix 2 large screws into bottom part of the hood and into the wall plugs (the wall plugs that are installed on line C on page 11). Reattach the filters.
4. Place the hose on the duct outlet.
5. Slide the upper flue duct upwards and screw it to the sides of the wall mounted flue duct fixing bracket previously installed using 2 small screws.
6. Plug the hood into the electrical plug socket and turn on the socket.
Note: Align the flue duct before tightening the screws.
Ducted air exhaust system
• When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe ɸ 150 mm or ɸ 120 mm. The product is supplied with a ɸ 150 mm flexible pipe therefore to install a ɸ 120 mm air exhaust connection a reducer flange (not supplied) will need to be attached to the outlet on the hood.
• Fix the ɸ 150 mm flexible pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
Note: Align the flue duct before tightening the screws. The has to be a 2 degree decline in the exhaust pipe to the outside vent
Usage
Note: Switch on the extractor hood when you start cooking and switch it off again several minutes after you have finished cooking. This is the most effective way of removing the kitchen fumes.
