Installation
The lower part of the extractor must be
located at a minimum height of 60 cm
above the hob for electric cookers and 65
cm for gas cookers. If the instructions of
a gas cooker indicate a greater distance
these must be observed.
The extractor must be connected to a
wall socket with an effective earth.
When the extractor is working at the
same time as other non-electrical cook-
ing equipment, the outlet air pressure
must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10
-5
bar).
To achieve optimum performance the
length of the outlet hose should not
exceed 4 meters, or include more than
two 90º angles (elbows).
Although venting to the outside is recom-
mended, activated carbon filters may be
used, which allow the gas to be returned
to the kitchen through the outlet pipe.

member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will
comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations.
Should the colour of the wires in the mains

- The wire which is coloured blur must be
connected to the marked N (Neutral) or
coloured Black.

connected to the marked L (Live) or
couloured Red.
- Where avialable (see installation), the wire
which is coloured yellow/green must be
connected to the market
or coloured
Yellow/Green.
If the cooker hood is installed for use
above a gas appliance then the provision
for ventilation must be in accordance with
the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regula-
tions 1984 and the relevant Building Reg-
ulations. Detailed recommendations are
