Cooker Hoods Chimney Style
A popular choice in contemporary kitchens are chimney style cooker hoods and it is imperative to ensure alignment and level for installation. To achieve the correct finish, mark the centre line of the hob on the rear wall and continue this line up to the ceiling. Use this line as a reference point for fixing the cooker hoods brackets above the extractor. Ensure that the extractor is sited the correct and regulatory distance above the hob and transfer the template measurements to the wall using the line as reference. All ventilation connections should be made behind the flue and may be possible above the ceiling dependent on the joist direction.

After installing the cooker hoods and flue, place the telescopic two-part chimney on top. Slide the chimney up to the ceiling and fix to the previously installed bracket. Electrical connection for chimney cooker hoods should be made via a fused outlet in an accessible position above the worktop. The feed from this should terminate behind the flue and connection to the extractor can be made via a junction box of appropriate size.

Island Cooker Hoods
Before installing island cooker hoods, the ceiling to which it will be fitted may require extra timber, between or adjacent to the existing joists. Adequate fixing is imperative to carry the weight of Island cooker hoods. When you have determined the position of your extractor, the flue, if the joists allow, should be fed through to the nearest outside wall. The fixing frame should be fitted to the ceiling with the screws supplied. The extractor will then require fitting. Final levelling using the adjustable bolts can now be done before tightening. Again, electrical connections can be made within the flue via a fused spur fitted to the wall above worktop height. Finally, the flue, which is in two parts, can be fitted and screwed to the frame with the fixings supplied.

Well apart from the toaster, blender and sandwich maker, I think that covers most appliances in the kitchen. All that’s left once they’re fitted is to cook, cool and wash in them. If like me, however, you’re that cook that spoils the broth, stick to the washing.
