Installation recommendations

- When deciding on the safety distance
between the hob and cooker hood,
please note that a distance of
650 mm above electric cookers/hobs
may be preferable to give more
working space under the hood.
- Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. They
should have sufficient space to work
comfortably at the hob, and be able
to reach the cooker hood controls
with ease.
- Please be aware that if positioned too
high, extraction will be inefficient.
- To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the cooker hood must be
centred over the hob, not to the side
or behind it.
- The hob should be no wider than the
cooker hood, and if possible, it
should be narrower.
- The installation area must be easily
accessible. The cooker hood should
be easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the cooker hood.

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be
undertaken by a suitably qualified
and competent person in strict
accordance with current national and
local safety regulations (BS 7671 in
the UK).
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous, for which the
manufacturer cannot be held liable.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance until after installation or
repair work has been carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. These do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance.
The connection data is given on the
data plate. This is visible when the
grease filters have been removed.
Ensure that this data matches the
household mains supply.
Connection of this appliance should be
made via a suitable isolator or a double
pole fused spur connection unit which
complies with national and local safety
regulations and the On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in. When
switched off there must be an all-pole
contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays
according to EN 60335).
