Ducting:

The extractor can be used as a recirculation device or as a extraction device, depending on your installation.

The hood is more effective when used in the extraction mode (ducted to the outside). When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside, charcoal filters are not required. The ducting used must be 150mm (6 Inches), rigid circular pipe and must be manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS.476 or DIN 4102-B1.

Wherever possible utilise rigid circular pipe which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The maximum length of the ducting without performance being affected is as follows:

• 4 metres with 1 × 90^ bend.
• 3 metres with 2 × 90^ bends.
- 2 metres with 3 × 90^ bends.

Longer ducting can be used but the performance of the extractor will be reduced.

Please note ducting components and ducting kits are optional accessories and have to be ordered, they are not automatically supplied with the hood. Use of ducting less than 150mm in diameter will affect performance and increase the noise produced by the extractor.

Re-Circulation:

An internal air vent is required, as shown below. This ensures that the air is placed back in the kitchen after it has been filtered

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a downward arrow indicating force or direction (no text or symbols present)

Fit the charcoal filters to the body of the motor as shown in the maintenance section of the manual.

Extraction:

The extractor is provided with a non-return butterfly valve which should be fitted over the vent outlet before the ducting is fitted. This prevents cold air being blown into the room from outside.

Securing the Duct to the Outlet:

Note that the duct pipe should be secured and sealed to the vent outlet pipe / valve using appropriate ducting tape or a securing clamp.

Adjusting the Position of the Decorative Cover Panel:

The decorative panel can be finely adjusted by moving the positions of the cover hinges, as shown here. Use a suitable allen key or small hex driver (3mm) to slacken the cover adjusting screws before sliding the cover into the correct position. When done, re-tighten the fixing screws.
