Important Safety Information
Your safety is of the utmost
importance to us. Please
make sure that you read this
instruction booklet
before attempting to install
or use the appliance. If you
are unsure of any of the information
contained in this booklet, please contact the
Retailer where you purchased your unit
from.
IMPORTANT:
Any installation work
must be carried out by a
qualified electrician or
competent person in
accordance with current regulations.
o The rangehood must be installed in
accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements
followed.
o If the rangehood is installed for use
above a gas appliance then the
provision for ventilation must be in
accordance with the Gas Safety
Codes of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440
& BS.6891 (Natural Gas) and
BS.5482 (LP Gas) 1994, the Gas
Safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations, the Building
Regulations issued by the
Department of the Environment, the
Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidated) Regulations issued
by the Scottish Development
Department.
o It is dangerous to alter the
specifications or to modify this
product. Do not tamper with it or
attempt to modify the appliance in
any way.
o When installing the rangehood,
ensure that the following
recommended distances are
observed between the highest point
on the hob top (including the
burners) and the bottom of the
rangehood:
Electric cookers:700 mm
Gas cookers:700 mm
Coal/ oil cookers:800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR
RANGEHOOD LESS THAN 700mm
ABOVE YOUR COOKTOP.
o When installed between adjoining wall
cabinets, the cabinets must not
overhang the cooktop.
o The edges of the rangehood are sharp –
be mindful of this as you handle your
appliance, especially during installation
and cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN
BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!
o If the room where the rangehood is to
be used contains a fuel burning
appliance such as a central heating
boiler then its flue must be of the sealed
or balanced flue type.
o If other types of flue or appliances are
fitted, ensure that there is an adequate
supply of air in the room.
o When the rangehood is being used in its
extractor function, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant and that there
are no bends sharper than 90 degrees,
as this will reduce the efficiency of the
rangehood.
o Ensure the ducting for the extractor
function has the same diameter as the
outlet hole all the way through.
o Keep young children from using, playing
with or tampering with the rangehood.
o Your rangehood is for domestic use
only.
o Please dispose of the packing material
carefully – children are especially
vulnerable to it.
