Britannia cooker hood installation instructions

Electrical Connection Without exception, all extractors are designed to be connected to a fused spur and protected by a 3A fuse; the use of a 13A fuse can lead to damage in the event of a fault with the product. Note that most extractors are class II protection against electric shock and do not require an earth.

The isolation switch for any extractor should be accessible after installation. The mains connection should not be made behind any fitted chimney sections unless a separate isolation switch is provided.

Any extractor should be capable of extracting between 6 and 12 times the volume of the room, which can be calculated as Room width x Room length x Ceiling height in metres and then dividing the extraction rate of the product by the volume calculated. The maximum practical length of ducting is 6m and booster fans may be needed where the effective length is greater than this. When calculating the effective length, assume any 90o bend is equivalent to 1. Glotech supplies a range of ducting through our EasiDuct range in and mm sizes.

The greater the ducting size, the more efficient the extractor will run, with lower noise. Installation Heights When Fitted Above Hobs When fitting extractors, the main consideration is the clearance height between the extractor and any hob fitted below. There is no minimum legal requirement when installing extractors above electric hobs, but the instructions for use supplied with both hob and extractor dictate the recommended minimum height. However, when fitting extractors above gas hobs the minimum height stated in the instructions booklets for both the hob and extractor needs to be met.

Unless specific exclusions are specified in the extractor instructions then the higher of the heights given in the two instruction booklets must be used. In the case of gas appliances, failure to observe the correct installation requirements may lead to the installation being reported to RIDDOR and may delay any installation sign-off. The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor installed above it.

Some products are supplied with generic wall plugs and fixing screws. Alternatively visit a Britannia dealer to find your perfect cooker and hood.
