and complies with all applicable legislation, including Gas
safety, Electrical safety (LVD) and Electromagnetic interference
compatibility (EMC).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EU DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special
local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing
appliance recycling services.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both
energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product is marked with a
crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
Please note:
• Under no circumstances should the extractor be connected to any
gas ventilation system, ue system or hot air ducting system.
• Do not vent the extractor into an attic or loft space.
• Only house the extractor in rooms with adequate ventilation.
Remember that the extractor is powerful and whatever air is
extracted needs to be replaced.
• Do not tile the extractor in. It should be removable for service or
maintenance.
IMPORTANT NOTES

5
• Do not use silicone sealant to secure the hood to the wall.
• You must be able to isolate the extractor from the mains electrical
supply after installation.
• This appliance has been designed to be used in a room
with a volume of less than 36m³.
• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
• The performance of your extractor will vary depending on a
number of factors. These include: type of extraction, length of
ducting, room volume, ventilation available and cleanliness of the
lters.
Ducting
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the
use of 125mm ducting. Lesser diameter ducting may be used but
this will reduce performance and increase the noise of the extractor.
Wherever possible use the rigid circular pipe which has a smooth
interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The
lengths of the ducting without performance being a󰀨ected are as
follows:
• 4 metres with 1 x 90° bend.
• 3 metres with 2 x 90° bends.
• 2 metres with 3 x 90° bends.
Note:
We recommend that you seek the help of another individual when
installing this product.
DUCTING

We recommend that you wear PPE when handling this extractor.
The xings supplied are suitable for most installations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the xings are suitable
for the ceiling type in the property.
Cover any hob, or surface below the area in which the extractor is to
be installed, so that no damage befalls it.

Fig. 4
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT
FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. NEVER USE
STEAM CLEANERS TO CLEAN THE
APPLIANCE.
Cleaning
You should use a non-abrasive
cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner
(including Cif) will scratch the surface
and could erase the control panel
markings.
You can clean your extractor
e󰀨ectively by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent
and drying to a shine with a clean
cloth, for example a micro-bre cloth.
Cleaning the grease lter
The grease lter should be kept clean
to minimise the risk of re.
At least once a month you should
remove and clean the grease lter

with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease lter in a
dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to
prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher.
To remove the grease lter, push in the button on the handle and
then pull down on the lter at the front as shown in gure 3. When
you have released it at the top, then you can pull the lter out
completely.
After rinsing and drying, reassemble the grease lter to the hood by
reversing the removal process.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease lter in the dishwasher may lead to
discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with
the appliance.
Changing the charcoal lter (re-circulating mode only)
To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace
the charcoal lter every four to six months, depending on use.
To attach the charcoal lter:
• Remove the grease lter as described on the previous page.
• Following the grooves on the extractor motor and on the lter,
place the charcoal lter over the motor and turn it clockwise
(right). Do not over-turn the lter.
• Finally, replace the grease lters.

LED LIGHTING
The light bulbs are high e󰀩ciency 2W LEDs and are not user-
replaceable. The lighting is designed for use during cooking and not
for general room illumination. Extended use of the lights will reduce
the lifespan of the bulbs. In the event of a problem with the lighting
please contact Amica Customer Care for assistance.
