Installation
Overview
The following instructions are intended to help prevent potential hazards and should be carried out only by a qualified electrician and installer.
Before Installing the Unit
Inspect the Unit
When taking delivery of the unit, check the items delivered against the delivery note. Inspect the unit for damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Customer Services. The box containing the cooker hood should contain an accessory pack consisting of black protective box for cooker hood socket and plug connection, screws, cable receptors and product documentation.
Check Site Requirements and Safety Notices
Check that the physical and environmental conditions for the site meet, or exceed, the requirements detailed in the Technical Specification on page 5. Read and observe the safety notices listed in IMPORTANT on page 2.
Unit Installation
The Pull-Out System Hood is only suitable for installation above a domestic cooker or cooker hob. The unit with cooker hood must be sited a minimum of 650mm above an electric hob and 750mm above a gas hob. It will fit in a 600 mm (external) x 300 mm deep (internal) kitchen wall cupboard space above the hob. The wall should have sufficient strength to support the unit. Take into consideration the position of the electrical services. Ensure there is adequate access for installation, operation and maintenance. Do not use this unit as a support for any other equipment.
Front Panel Adjustment
The front panel of the Pull-Out System Hood is adjustable; allowing it to align with the cabinet above. To make this adjustment first remove the grease filters. There are three screws located on the inside of the unit behind the front panel, unscrewing these will allow the front panel to be adjusted. Tighten the screws when the panel is in the desired position.

Fitting the Cooker Hood to the Metal Duct Unit
- Before fitting the unit to the wall, unpack the cooker hood, locate the four self-cutting screws and protective box for the cooker hood cable plug and socket.
- Pull out the telescopic hood and remove the two metal filters by releasing the grey plastic springs and sliding. (See Figure 1: Telescopic extractor hood)
- Rest the unit on its back ready to connect the cooker hood to the bottom of metal ducting.
- First lead the cooker hood cable through the hole at the bottom of the metal duct adaptor (See Figure 2: Inserting with plug through the hole). Then align the cooker hood with the hole positions, then fix it to the metal duct unit using four screws provided.
- Connect the plug into the socket ensuring that the locating lugs align. It is important that the cable is routed away from the fire damper. For wiring the socket to the MVHR unit see the Electrical Installation section on page 8.
- Place the assembled socket and plug in the protective box provided (See Figure 3: Placing the socket and plug in the connection box). Ensure the grommet is lined up with the rib and tuck in cable assembly shown by arrow before putting the cover together. Put the boxes together and secure using the screws provided.
Mounting
- The Pull-Out System Hood fits in a 600mm wide by 300mm deep kitchen cupboard space. Carefully mark the location for the five wall mounting screws (See Figure 4: Screw locations for wall mounting).
- Drill and plug the holes.
- Screw the cooker hood to the wall.
- There are also holes that allow the hood to be secured to the inside of cupboard walls. Use these mounting holes as well to secure the hood to the cupboard (See Figure 5: Screw locations for cupboard mounting).
