Preparing for installation The chimney hood has the ability to either recirculate the filtered air back into the kitchen, or the filtered air can be circulated through a duct to the outside of the building or into the ceiling. Decide on which option best suits you before commencing with the installation. • The chimney hood is intended to be mounted onto a flat perpendicular kitchen wall capable of supporting the weight of the hood.

Before and after use Optional Carbon pad filters We recommend that the chimney hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the chimney hood is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the chimney hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.
