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 to the outside, your
cooker hood can be connected as shown
in the diagram using the flexible exhaust
pipe (NOT SUPPLIED). Alternatively,
any suitable extraction duct (enamel,
aluminium, flexible pipe or inflammable
material with an interior diameter of
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.
Please 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
odours from the air. Details of sourcing and
fitting the filters can be found in the carbon filter
section of this manual.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR HOOD:
• 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 to be drilled is clear
of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
• The surfaces of the hood are very easily damaged during installation if
grazed or knocked by tools. Please take care 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
• Hand Saw or Jig Saw
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.
INFORMATION
• 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 considered.
• 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. Drill all 7 holes for the hood using the
installation diagram as a guide. Use
the supplied screws (ST5 x 50mm) to
attach the hood installation plate, and
the Upper chimney bracket to the wall
in the correct position, ensuring the
plates are level.
4. 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.
10
5. Slide the chimney sections onto
the hood. Fix the base of the
lower chimney section to the
hood using two ST4.2 x 9.5mm
screws (supplied)
6. Fix the lower chimney bracket
to the top of the lower chimney
using two ST4.2 x 9.5 screws
(supplied).
7. Hang the hood on the
Installation plate, and
secure to the wall
using two screws
(ST5*50) through the
lower chimney
bracket into the wall
plugs previously
inserted.
8. If the hood it to be vented externally, push an exhaust pipe onto the top
of the hood, and route it externally.
9. Slide the inner chimney up to the correct
height and fix into position on the upper
chimney bracket using the remaining two
screws (ST4.2*9.5).
