5 Installation
5.1 General
This appliance should be connected to the power supply by a recognized fitter who is
familiar with, and works according to the correct safety regulations. This appliance meets
the European requirements.
Important that you know:
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on
the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 65 cm from
electric cookers and 75 cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the cooker hood is to be fitted to an existing duct no other appliances, such as a
geyser or heater, may be connected to that same duct.
Consider local regulations with respect to the ventilation of gas appliances.
The shorter the duct, and the fewer the bends in it, the better the cooker hood will
work.
Before you start drilling check that there are no installation cables present.
The connecting pipe for the extractor hood has a diameter of 125 mm or 150 mm.
It is best also to use a flue pipe of the same diameter.
The installation material supplied with this rangehood is designed for fixing to
reinforced concrete or masonry walls. For some types of walls you may need special
plugs and screws.
