Installing The Cooker Hood; Installation Requirements - Electrolux EPHOOD Instruction Book

Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed it is easily accessible to an
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
All installations must comply with the local
authorities requirements for the discharge of
exhaust air.
Incorrect installation may affect the safety of
this cooker hood.

Installation Requirements

Before installation check the wall to which the
cooker hood is to be fitted for electric cables,
water pipes or gas.
If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow
construction plaster or partition board
structure then it should be sufficiently
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the
cooker hood mounting brackets, and the
appropriate rawl plugs used for this type of
fixing (not supplied).
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant 100mm (4ins)
in diameter and the length should be no
more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.
Positioning
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over
a cooking appliance at the clearance heights
stated, providing the maximum output of the
appliance beneath does not exceed the
maximums quoted in the Technical Specifications.
If the output of the appliance below the
cooker hood exceeds the maximum output
quoted, please refer to the cooker
manufacturer's installation instructions.
