be in accordance with the Gas
Safety Codes of Practice BS.6172,
BS.5440 & BS.6891 (Natural Gas)
and BS.5482 (LP Gas) 1994, the
Gas Safety (Installation & Use)

oIt is dangerous to alter the
specifications or to modify this
product in any way. Do not tamper
with it or attempt to alter it in the
attempt to customise it further.
oWhen installing the hood,
ensure that the following
recommended distances are being
observed between the cooker top
and the bottom of the cooker hood:
9Electric cookers:
700 mm
9Gas cookers:
700mm
9Coal/ oil cookers:
800 mm
* NOTE - DO NOT SET YOUR
COOKER HOOD LESS THAN
700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER!
oWhen installed between
adjoining wall cabinets,
the cabinets must not
overhang the hob & must
hang 50mm or more
away from the side of the
hob surfaces.
oThe edges of the cooker

oIf the room where the
cooker hood is to be used
contains a fuel burning
appliance such as a
central heating boiler
then its flue must be of
the sealed or balanced

oIf other types of flue or
appliances are fitted,
ensure that there is an
adequate supply of air in
the room.
oWhen the hood is being
used in its extractor
function, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant
and that there are no
bends sharper than 90
degrees as this will
reduce the efficiency of
the hood.

To use your cooker hood:
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located centrally on the hood’s front
surface, on the underside of the unit. It looks like this:
* Note: The hood should be switched on at least as soon as you start
cooking. It is a good idea to have had it running for 5 minutes prior to
cooking and at least 15 minutes after you have finished cooking.
The first four buttons
from the left side
control the FAN SPEED
0 = Off
I = Low Speed
II = Mid Speed
III = High Speed
NOTE – YOU CAN CHANGE THE
SPEED WHILE THE HOOD IS
OPERATING.
The other button controls the light.
LIGHT ON/OFF switch – Press in to turn light on. Press again to turn light off.

IMPORTANT!: Before cleaning, always ensure that you
have switched your cooker hood OFF at the omni-polar
switch, set at the wall from the cable:
Cleaning
ÂClean the external parts with
mild liquid detergents on a
damp cloth.
ÂNever use abrasive powder,
corrosive solvents or brushes.
ÂNever insert pointed objects
into the motor’s protective grid.
ÂOnly clean the control panel
and filter grill with a damp
cloth and delicate detergents.
ÂBe sure to replace the
carbon filters at the
recommended intervals.
Build up could cause a
fire hazard.
ÂNever take out the
grease filters and
attempt to clean the
space above where they
are set.
________________________________________________
Anti-Grease Grille
ÂYour cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille
which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease
particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from
greasy residues.
ÂThe metal grille may become inflammable if it
becomes saturated with greasy residue.
9To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be
cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15
days and at least every three months in a dishwasher
or in hot water with normal washing-up detergent.

First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.
You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.
9Soak them for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water.
9Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille
once it has dried.
To clean the grease filter grilles in your dishwasher:
9Place the grease filter grilles in the dishwasher. Select the most
powerful washing programme and highest temperature.
9Repeat the process, if necessary.
9Refit the grease grilles when dry. Do not worry about the slight
discolouration of the grille – its performance won’t be affected.
REMEMBER THAT DISCOLOURATION OF THE GREASE
FILTER CAN TAKE PLACE WHEN CLEANED IN A
DISHWASHER – THIS IS NORMAL.
Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.
