o In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available,
which will be accessible after the hood is mounted. If you are
going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also
ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device
to the outside.
o Rawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall
and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood.
o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This
appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE
IT
IN
MODE.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken out of the room via
external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filters and
passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters
the kitchen via an opening in the hood
For optimum performance, we recommend that the cooker hood is
used in extraction mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside
wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the
air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All cooker hoods have grease filters but if you are using your cooker
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filters.
