documentation. Each box containing the cooker hood should contain an accessory pack consisting of black
protective box for cooker hood socket and plug connection, screws, cable receptors and product documentation.
A template to aid marking out the wall for drilling is printed on the carton.

equipment.

Unit Installation
READ THE SENTINEL KINETIC INSTALLATION & COMMISSIOING DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING
THIS UNIT. In particular, ensure that any external switches, sensors and electrical connections are made prior
to the unit being mounted on the wall.
The Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood is only suitable for installation above a domestic cooker or cooker hob. The
unit with cooker hood must be sited a minimum of 650mm above an electric hob and 750mm above a
gas hob.
It will fit in a 600 mm (external) x 300 mm deep (internal) kitchen wall cupboard space above the hob.
The wall should have sufficient strength to support the unit.
Take into consideration the position of the electrical services and the condensate drain.
Ensure there is adequate access for installation, operation and maintenance.
It is recommended that a local mains and sensor terminal connection box is installed within 1m of the unit to
facilitate future maintenance, rather than wiring these directly to the unit.
The unit MUST always be mounted vertically with ducting exiting vertically. Do not use this unit as a support for
any other equipment.
Select Unit Orientation
The unit may be purchased as left or right hand, where left hand refers to the connections to atmosphere being
on the left side of the unit.
