SECTION 4. INSTALLATION
Refer to the drawings for your model (Page 17-18)
4.1 Removing the Grease Filters
Place extractor on its backplate on a horizontal surface.
To remove the grease filters, pull/lift the filter release lever
away from the hood base. This releases the retaining clips
allowing the filter to be carefully lifted away from the hood.
Take care not to scratch the hood.
The internal fixing holes, blower assembly and spigot
blanking plate can now be accessed through the openings
in the baseplate.
4.2 Blower Exhaust Position
The hood can be vented either to the top exhaust or the
rear exhaust position. Each exhaust position has 4 fixings
onto which can be secured either the blower assembly or
a blanking plate.
Bolt blower assembly to chosen exhaust position and the
blanking plate to the unused position.
When changing the exhaust position, care should be taken
not to excessively pull or twist the cable attached to the
blower.
4.3 Duct Installation
Make a hole in the wall or ceiling to take 150mm diameter
ducting from the extractor exhaust spigot to the outside.
The exhaust duct route length should be kept as short as
possible with as few bends as possible (Section 2).
Make a hole in the outside wall to suit the duct and external
weather louvre.
4.4 Fixing the Hood to the Wall
If you are fitting a Splashback it must be fitted before the
hood.
Note: The decorative chimney can be removed to ease
handling of the hood.
The supporting wall must be of good quality, have an even
surface and be sturdy enough to support the extractor.
Fixings must be used which are suitable for the type of wall
construction.
Method:
Mark a horizontal line to denote the bottom edge of the
hood - if you have already fitted a splashback then the
top edge of this will serve.
Mark a vertical centre line of the range cooker and the
hood.
Remove the grease filters to gain access the internal
fixing holes.
Mark the positions of the fixing hole centres, as shown
in the drawings for your model.
Tip: Offer the hood up to the wall in the desired position
and mark the wall through the fixing holes in the hood
rear. This is a 2-person job.

Mark and prepare a hole suitable to accommodate
150mm diameter ducting (160mm min). If using the
rear exhaust spigot position then accuracy is critical.
Secure hood and chimney bracket, using fixings
suitable for the wall construction, in the previously
marked positions.
4.5 Connecting the Ducting
Connect ducting to extractor exhaust spigot. This may
have to be done prior to fixing the extractor to the wall. You
may find this easier with the chimney removed. The
chimney is attached using M4 machine screws which can
be accessed through the filter opening(s).
When the extractor is in position, check that the duct has
not been flattened or kinked along its route.
Connect the ducting to the wall louvre spigot or alternative
outside termination.
Secure the louvre to the outside wall. Ensure that any air
fins are directed downwards.
Refit the grease filters.
4.6 Electrical Installation
The extractor is a stationary appliance designed to be
connected by fixed wiring to the electrical supply.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER
A competent electrical technician must perform the
electrical installation.
The extractor must be fed from a 230Vac single phase
electrical supply using a switched spur fitted with a 3A
fuse. The spur should be located adjacent to the
extractor/cooker so that the supply can be disconnected
from the extractor using the switch. The means of
disconnecting from the supply must have a minimum
contact separation of 3mm in all poles. Alternatively, a
means of disconnection in the fixed wiring according to the
relevant wiring rules must be fitted.
A supply cord for connecting the spur to the extractor is
included.
The mains supply is connected to the free end of this cord
as follows:
