which have two fixing
tongues), turning clockwise so that the tongues latch
onto
the motor’s sides.

10
4) Reposition the metal grease filters.
IMPORTANT: Before installation read all the instructions and make
sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating
plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home.
The rating plate can be found behind the grease filters.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer
failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in
force, which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.

the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed
as follows:
o The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked
“N” (neutral), or coloured black.
o The brown wire must be connected to the terminal
marked “L” (live), or coloured red.
o The green/yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked “E” or ⏚
Before beginning installation
o Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation
area. In addition, check whether there is an electrical socket available that will be
accessible once the rangehood is mounted. If the product is going to be used in
extraction mode, then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the
outside.
o Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the rangehood.
o Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person.
o Before commencing installation of the rangehood the grease filters should be
removed.
o Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other
materials, such as packets of screws, guarantees etc. These should be removed
and kept for future use.
o If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position,
to provide easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible then a

12
thick, protective covering should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker.
This will help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
o Select a flat surface for assembling the rangehood. Cover that surface with a
protective covering and place all rangehood parts and fittings on it.
o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall or cabinetry. This appliance
is designed to be surface mounted only.
Installing your rangehood
IMPORTANT: You will have to decide before installing your rangehood whether to use it
in extraction mode or recirculation mode. Please refer to page 14 to understand the
differences between these two modes.
o We recommend that at least two people install this rangehood.
o If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then PLEASE NOTE that all
of the vent in the upper chimney section must be exposed. You will have to take
this into account when calculating the minimum height of the extractor when
installed.
o IMPORTANT: If the recirculation vents are obstructed then the efficiency of
the extraction will be affected and could damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS
SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN
COMPLETED.
1) The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65-75cm (26-30inch) from the
cooking surface for the best effect.
2) Drill a hole in the cupboard, 715mm*265mm. Make sure the distance between the
edge of the hole and the edge of the cupboard edge is at least 35mm.
3) Take down the filter and remove the four screws on the panel.
4) Use eight ST4 x 18mm screws to fix the hood into cabinet.
5) Fix the panel back to the body and equip the filter.

13
6) Connect the ducting pipe to the outlet.
Connecting to external ducting (top)
o Connect the coupling to the top of the rangehood, using two of the smaller screws
provided.
o (If side ducting, this is either through the wall or the Soffit)
o Connect a 150 mm ducting hose to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking
vapours. Please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance but
one can be obtained from the Retail outlet where you purchased your appliance.
o The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be
3 metres, with one 90 degree bend. For each additional 90 degree bend, the
maximum distance is reduced by a further metre.
o Before fixing the rangehood into the kitchen unit, you should connect the other end
of the ducting hose to the coupling in the top of the cooker hood.

Completing the installation
If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two
carbon filters. See the section “Fitting the carbon filter” on page 9.
The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted on the
rating plate, which is placed inside the rangehood. The appliance should now be
connected to the electrical supply. See page 10 for detailed information on the electrical
connection.

Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
IMPORTANT: You will have to decide prior to installing your rangehood whether to use it
in extraction mode or recirculation mode.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and out of the room via
external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal
filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the rangehood.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the rangehood is used in extraction mode
and connected to external ducting.

15
Unfortunately if you live in a flat, or if the rangehood is too far from an outside wall, this
may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All rangehoods have a grease filter but if you are using your rangehood in recirculation
mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your rangehood appears not to be operating properly, before
contacting an authorised service agent, please refer to the checklist below.
My rangehood will not start.
o Check that the rangehood is connected to the power supply and whether
you have selected any of the fan speeds.
My rangehood is not working effectively.
o Check that the fan speed is set to an appropriate setting.
o Check that the grease filters are not dirty and do not require cleaning.
o If the rangehood is set up for recirculation mode, check that the carbon filter does
not need to be replaced.
o If the rangehood is set up for extraction mode, check that the ducting hose and
discharge outlet are not blocked.

16
My rangehood is noisy and/or vibrating.
o Check whether the installation has been completed as per the instruction booklet.
o It is normal to get a certain amount of noise and vibration, due to the extraction
capacity of the rangehood.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you
