Installing The Cooker Hood; Installation Requirements - Electrolux EFG 525 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 fitting the hood beneath any type of
canopy or wall cabinet, ensure that the housing
is firmly fixed to the wall in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
If it is necessary to fix the housing for the canopy to a
hollow construction plaster or partition board structure
then it should be sufficiently reinforced to be quite rigid
in the area of the cabinet housing fixings.
Ducting
The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm (5ins)
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.
Clearance Height
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 outputs quoted, please refer to
the cooker manufacturer's installation instructions.
Clearance Height
A minimum clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ") is
required when installed above a built-in electric hob, or
700mm (27 1/2 ") when installed above a built-in gas
hob.
A minimum clearance height of 685mm (27") is
required when installed above a slot-in electric cooker,
or 787mm (30 1/2 ") when installed above a slot-in gas
cooker.
