4. Setup and Installation

The GASLAND UC60BS cooker hood is designed for under-cabinet mounting. It supports both external extraction and internal recirculation modes.

4.1 Choosing Ventilation Mode

• External Extraction (Ducted): Air is expelled outside through an exhaust pipe. This mode requires a suitable ducting system to the exterior. The exhaust pipe is included.
• Internal Recirculation (Ductless): Air is filtered through a carbon filter (CF133, included) and then returned to the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external venting is not possible.

4.2 Installation Steps (General Guidelines)

1. Preparation: Ensure the installation area is clear and that you have all necessary tools and components. Measure the mounting height above your hob according to local safety regulations (typically 65-75 cm for electric hobs, 70-80 cm for gas hobs).
2. Marking: Mark the drilling points on the wall or underside of the cabinet according to the hood's mounting template.
3. Drilling: Drill holes at the marked positions and insert wall plugs.
4. Mounting: Secure the cooker hood to the wall or cabinet using the provided screws. Ensure it is level and securely fastened.
5. Ducting (for Extraction Mode): Connect the exhaust pipe to the hood's outlet and route it to the exterior vent. Ensure all connections are sealed to prevent air leaks.
6. Carbon Filter Installation (for Recirculation Mode): If not pre-installed, attach the CF133 carbon filters to the motor housing as per the instructions provided with the filters.
7. Electrical Connection: Connect the cooker hood to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power supply is off during connection.
8. Testing: Turn on the power and test all functions of the cooker hood (fan speeds, lights).

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the specific mounting template and diagrams included in your product packaging.
