Another cooker hood question
A very elementary question which most of you wouldn't have to think twice
about, but... My cooker hood has just today finally packed up and 'joined the choir invisibile'. It's an absolutely basic type and quite ugly but it is vented to the outside and actually worked quite well. (Photo here if it helps: http://gallery.me.com/mike_lane#100262) My question is how difficult would it be to replace it myself with (say) one of these: http://www.johnlewis.com/230448800/Product.aspx or something similar? The electrics are no problem - the old one simply plugs into a 13A socket on the wall above the unit. The dimensions are almost the same, but what worries me is how it fits onto the outlet pipe - I know absolutely sod all about tubing, pipes, ducts and all that sort of thing. Pathetic I know, but there it is. I'd be immensely grateful for any (practical) advice - thanks. -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com |

Try flickr or tinypic. As John says the location of the outlet hole on the current and new hoods will be the major factor in how had the swap is or isn't. -- Cheers Dave. |

Sorry about that. The site I used is really intended for the elaborate display of photo albums rather than single pictures, but I was in a hurry and I've not had problems with any browser I've tried on PCs or Macs. However if you care to let me know the details of what OS and browser you are using I can file a bug report with Apple. -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com |

Which they will ignore as I use: Mozilla 1.7.12 Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 3; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922. The point is that the site uses a plugin to replace what 99.9% of all browsers can do natively, that is display static images. -- Cheers Dave. |
