Items you will need: Silicone sealant, Hammer Drill, Masonry Drill Bits, Phillips Screwdriver, Step ladder.

  1. Before you start choose the location where the appliance is to be installed and mark the position where the hole for the vent tube is to be drilled.
  2. Check there are no cables, gas pipes, water pipes or other items inside or on the outside of the wall using a suitable detector prior to drilling. 
  3. Visually check the outside of the wall to ensure the vent hose will exit in a clear area.
  4. Time to drill. The hole for the vent tube will need to be drilled using a core drill. You may need the services of a plumber or builder to do this. The hole needs to be large enough in diameter for the vent tube to fit through. Measure the external diameter of the vent tube and choose the appropriate drill size required
  5. Fit and secure the cooker hood to the wall.
  6. Push the flexible ducting (4) carefully through the hole ensuring there is approx. 150mm of tube visible outside the property. (see fig 1 below)

  8. Pull the vent hose back into the property until the External Grille fits flush to the exterior wall. It may be necessary to nick out some of the brickwork to ensure the screw of the Wormdrive Clamp doesn't prevent the External Grille fitting flush with the wall.
  9. Carefully mark the position of the 4 X holes in the External Grille onto the wall. Drill these holes and using the Rawl Plugs and Screws provided secure the External Grille to the wall. (see fig 2 below)
  10. Seal around the External Grille using Exterior Silicone Sealant. Choose the colour of sealant that best suits your external wall. 
  11. Back inside the property. Fit the Internal Ducting Trim (5) over the Flexible Ducting (4). Slide this trim up the Flexible Ducting (4) until it reaches the internal wall. Mark the 4 X holes in the trim onto the wall.
  12. Drill the 4 x holes and using the Rawl Plugs and Screws provided fix the Internal Ducting Trim (5) securely to the interior wall to give a tidy finish.
  13. Screw one of the Duct Connectors (2) onto the internal end of the Flexible Ducting (4). (see fig 3 below)
  14. Attach the Duct Connector (2) to the outlet adaptor (supplied with the cooker hood) and secure the two together using the remaining Wormdrive Clamp (2). (see fig 4 below)
  15. Fit the outlet adaptor to the cooker hood. Adjust/Align the ducting to ensure there are no twists or kinks to ensure smooth airflow from the appliance.
