Incorrect installation may affect the safety of this cooker hood.
Installation Requirements
The Installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and competent person. The manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility to damages due to incorrect installation of the cooker hood or if the cooker hood is not installed in
compliance with relevant regulations controlling this type of installation.
Unpacking
Before unpacking the cooker hood position the carton with the arrows pointing upwards as illustrated on the carton.
Clearance Heights
• This cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking appliance at the clearance heights stated.
o
Electric hob not exceeding 7kw a clearance height of 650mm is required
o
Gas hob not exceeding 10kw a clearance height of 650mm is required.
• If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood exceeds the maximum outputs quoted for each kW in
excess of 10kw the distance between extractor and gas hob must be increased by 10cm.
However it is the manufacturer of the gas hob who determines the clearance required between
hob & extractor and the clearance quoted by the gas hob manufacturer must be followed.
•
There is no mandatory clearance for electric hobs and the clearance as quoted above should be followed.
•
If the hob manufacturer provides no instructions, cannot provide the installer with the dimension or, in the case of an
old hob, no dimensions can be found; the installer must follow the BS 6172 “Default Standard” and ensure that a clear
“box”, as in the illustration below, exists above and around hob.
Note:
The 760mm clearance is between the top of the burners and combustible material and not from the worktop. In
practice, since the burners are usually 30-40mm above the level of the worktop, this means the clearance is effectively
790-800mm.
