damages arising to the hood or it catching on fire, from a failure
to observe the fire safety advice contained in this instruction
booklet.

oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
oNote: Your cooker hood is designed to remove cooking
odours from the room and not steam.
oWarning - Always ensure that the cooker
hood has been disconnected from the power
supply before carrying out any work on the
hood, including replacing light bulbs.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any

sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended intervals
(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease
could cause a fire hazard.
oNever attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
10

The grease filters
oYour cooker hood is fitted with grease filters, which help to
absorb grease particles and protect your kitchen and furniture
from greasy residues.
oThese aluminium filters may become inflammable if you allow
them to get saturated with this greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filters should be cleaned
regularly. Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15
days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal
washing-up detergent.
oDO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filters
oFirst remove the grease filters by
pulling down on the handle and
pulling them away from the
cooker hood.
oSoak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for
about an hour.
oRinse them off thoroughly with hot water.
oRepeat the process if required.

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.
oThe green / yellow wire must be connected to the terminal
marked “E” or coloured green / yellow.
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
