oIMPORTANT: Let the grease filter dry thoroughly before
refitting it in the cooker hood.
Changing a light bulb
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE
A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU
HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
oRemove the grease filter (as
described on page 11).
oPrior to touching the light bulbs ensure that they have cooled

oUse a screwdriver to remove the glass cover that sits over the
bulb. Unscrew the light bulb that needs to be replaced and insert
a new G4 20W (max) bulb. Then replace the glass cover.
oIMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
oIf the lights still do not work, make sure that the bulbs are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
oRefit the grease filter.
Fitting the carbon filter
If the appliance is going to be used in recirculation mode then it is
necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant
odours caused by cooking.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR
REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE
COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
1) Remove the grease filter.
2) Hook the carbon filter over
the pins that are located at the
end of the motor.
13

3) Turn the carbon filter anticlockwise, until you feel
it click into place.
oRepeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to
place a carbon filter at either end of the motor.
oRefit the grease filter.
oThe carbon filters should be replaced every three months, or if
they show signs of damage.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage 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 filter.
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.

Electrical connection
15
YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND
PERMANENT INSTALLATION.
oThe cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the
electrical connection, using an omni-polar switch with a contact
distance of at least 3 mm. THE FUSE MUST BE RATED AT 3
AMPS.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. It
should only be connected by a competent person, using
fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet.
(UK ONLY).
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following UK code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown),
then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
oAs the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your spur box, please proceed as follows:
oThe blue wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured
black.
oThe brown wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red.
Before beginning installation
oCheck 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 hood 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.
oCarry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.

16
oEnsure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably
qualified person.
oBefore commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease
filter should be removed.
oCheck 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.
oIf 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 thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will
help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
oSelect a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood
parts and fittings on it.
oRawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall
and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood.
oDo not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This
appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.

Installing your cooker hood
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE
IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION
MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 24 NOW TO
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE
TWO MODES.
oWe recommend that at least two people install this hood.
oIf 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.
oIMPORTANT: If the recirculation vents are obstructed the
efficiency of the extraction will be affected and could
damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION
PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

1) Remove the metal grease filter.
2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to
install it on and mark the position of the support holes that are
to be drilled (as shown in the figure above).

2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure Ain this drawing
and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure B.
3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm
diameter, make holes in the wall on the
positions that you have marked in step
2.
4) Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled.
5) Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 10 mm out of
the wall.
18

6) Hang the hood onto the support
screws.
7) Fully tighten the support screws (A) and then screw the anchoring
screws (B) through the relevant holes in the cooker hood. Tighten the
anchoring screws fully into the wall.
19

Connecting to external ducting
8) Connect the coupling to the top of the cooker hood, and then
connect a 125 mm ducting hose to the coupling (please note that
the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance).
oThe other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a
discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours. It should
have a cross section of at least 150 cm².
oThe maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge
outlet should be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend.
Fitting the chimney
9) Take the two chimney
sections (C and D).
oRest the bottom of
chimney section Con the
top of the hood. You
should take care to
position the tabs on the
chimney section into the
rear of the hood.
oMark the side
measurement of both
sides of chimney section C
on the wall with a pencil.
