4. Installation
The FIREGAS FGS-ESB09S52AC extractor hood is designed for built-in installation within a cabinet, offering both ducted (extraction) and ductless (recirculation) ventilation options.
4.1 Pre-Installation Checks
Before beginning installation, ensure the cabinet opening dimensions are suitable for the hood. The recommended mounting height above the cooking surface is 550-650 mm.
Image: Diagram showing the suitable mounting height of 550-650 mm from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood.

4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Cabinet Opening: Ensure the cabinet opening is correctly sized (approx. 494mm x 258mm) and any necessary reinforcements are in place.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the provided template or measure carefully to mark the 8 drilling points on the top and sides of the cabinet where the hood will be secured.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points.
- Place the Hood: Carefully lift the hood and insert it into the cabinet opening.
- Secure the Hood: Use the provided screws (st4x40) to firmly fix the hood to the cabinet from the inside.
- Connect Power: Plug the hood into a standard power outlet.

4.3 Ventilation Mode Setup
Your hood supports both ducted and recirculation modes.
- Ducted Mode: If you choose ducted mode, connect a suitable duct (not included) to the exhaust outlet on top of the hood. Ensure the air dampers are correctly installed to prevent backflow. This mode directly expels cooking fumes and odors outside.
- Recirculation Mode: For recirculation mode, install the two provided carbon filters (Model No: CC110) onto the motor housing. These filters absorb odors and grease, returning purified air to the kitchen. Ensure the air dampers are in place.
5. Operating Instructions
The FIREGAS FGS-ESB09S52AC features simple push-button controls for ease of use.
