Thanks for your help in

getting me on line Tim.

I am currently in the process of refurbishing the kitchen with new appliances etc and am now at

the stage of cooker hood selection. The present ducted unit is a built in type activated by pulling out the front panel and

this is to be removed. Spacing between the adjacent wall units is a tight 600mm (599).

My question is would a 600mm

wide hood fit in – such as ELICA KEY 60 or similar. This model seems to suit my needs re quietness and extraction rates etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Silverfox,
Welcome to

the forum.
To replace your integrated cooker hood with a chimney style extractor will require that you alter the extraction

outlet position to fall directly within the flue part of your extractor. In addition you will have to locate an electrical

connection bejhind the flue and this will be connected to a switched fused spur located in an accessible location. The

electrical alterations must be carried out by a competent person as it falls under Part P regulations.

Many

manufacturers make a 600mm chimney extractor and aside from the usual suspects, I will send you an e-mail with details of a

manufacturer who I have carried out recent research that offered me some great feedback.
Regards

Tim

Tim, Many thanks for your reply – most useful. I have

spent the morning so far removing the old unit which was some job due to finding how to release the hidden catches. Plus the

fact that it was installed somewhere around 1986 ! Dimensions are OK now as the space widens to 600. another problem solved.
