� Splashback (optional) When a splashback is to be fitted, the distance between the hood and the cooking appliances will be determined by the height of the splashback B and whether or not there is a raised back on the worktop. The splashback is to be installed before installing the canopy. If the splashback is to be fixed to the wall using both the top and bottom fixing holes, care must be taken to ensure that the splashback is fitted at the correct height before fixing the base units or at least the worktop covering them. As this is a complex operation, it should only be undertaken by the technician installing the kitchen units or by a competent person who knows the final dimensions of the units. If the splashback is to be fixed through the top fixing holes only, proceed as follows: � Rest the splashback on the worktop and against the wall, as illustrated in fig.2 . � Mark the centres of the two holes in the top surface. � Drill the wall using an 8 mm drill bit, and fix the splashback using the rawl plugs and screws provided. � If necessary, the installer should secure the splashback to the wall by tucking the bottom edge down behind the rear of the worktop. The hood can have two different fixing kits: a) screws, rawl plugs and safety brackets. b) screws, rawl plugs and metal brackets. � Fixing with screws: � Insert the rawl plugs in the holes 1, screw in the two screws provided (4.2 x 44.4) leaving about 5 mm unscrewed, hook the hood to the screws (fig. 3) and continue permanent tightening from the inside (fig. 4). � Mount the safety bracket (provided) above the hood (fig. 5).
