How to fit a cooker hood

Before starting the whole process to place the hood, you must know the height at which it should be placed. The most recommended will be between 65 and 75 cm above the hob or fire, but this may vary depending on the type of extractor hood and what its manufacturer indicates.

First step: Bearing this in mind, the first step to be carried out will be to mark the fixing points on the wall following the measurements offered by the manufacturer. This can be done with or without a level, measuring each point from the worktop. Once marked, we can make the holes with a drill.

Second step: With the holes already made, you will have to screw the hook of the hood. To do this, you will have to insert some plugs that will be where the screws are placed. Once the upper part has been screwed in, the lag screws will be placed to hold the lower part.

Third step: Thanks to these supports, we place the piece of the hood and fix it, it will also be necessary to introduce the corrugated tube through its connector to the hood.

Fourth step: If you have come this far, in this step you are ready to begin with the electrical installation, it will be simple, through the connector provided by the manufacturer, it will be placed directly to the nearest outlet. It is best to have a socket at the top of the wall to make installation easier.

Fifth step: Once connected to the electrical current, we will cover the flexible pipe of the smoke outlet with the trim, fixing it with screws to both the wall and the hood, thus improving the appearance of the extractor hood.

Sixth step: Now we only have to remove the plastic that covers the hood and the trim so that it is not damaged and place the plates.

Step 7: Finally, check that the extractor hood works properly. If this is the case, it will be ready to be used.
