IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Please
make sure that you read this instruction booklet
before attempting to install or use the appliance. If
you are unsure of any of the information contained in
this booklet, please contact the Advice L
4
ine.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
oThe hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
oIf the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then
the provision for ventilation must 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) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the
Department of the Environment, the Building Standards
(Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.
oIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this
product in any way. Do not tamper with or attempt to modify
the appliance in any way.
oWhen installing the hood, ensure that the following
recommended distances are observed between the highest point
on the hob top (including the burners) and the bottom of the
cooker hood:
Electric cookers: 700 mm*
Gas cookers: 700 mm*
Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
*In the case of a reduced ceiling height, it is possible to reduce the
minimum gap to 400 mm.

oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
oThe edges of the cooker hood are sharp – be mindful of this as
you handle your appliance, especially during installation and
cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN BEHIND THE GREASE FILTER!
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 flue type.
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 extraction mode, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends greater than
90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the hood.
oEnsure the ducting for the extractor mode has the same
diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
oKeep young children from using, playing with
or tampering with the cooker hood. Older
children and infirm persons should be
supervised if they are using the cooker hood.
oYour cooker hood is for domestic use only.
oPlease dispose of the packing material carefully – children are
especially vulnerable to it.
oDirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
oAlways put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
oThe manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the hood or for it catching on fire, from a
5

failure to observe the fire safety advice contained in these
instructions.
oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
oNote that the cooker hood removes odours from your
kitchen, 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 cleaning and
replacing light bulbs.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to an
existing ventilation system being used for any other purpose.
oDo not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
oNever leave frying pans unattended during use
as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
oThe cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. naked flame from a
gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on
them.
oDo not attempt to use the cooker hood if it is damaged in any
way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filter fitted or if
the filter is excessively greasy!
oNever flambé cook under this cooker hood.
oThe lights on this appliance should only be used during operation
of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and
used as a lighting source.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE

Using your cooker hood
Before first use
IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED
BEFORE THE COOKER HOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
oYou should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner on ALL of
the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood, before it is used
for the first time.
oThis will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect
the stainless steel surfaces.
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
oFind the control panel, which is located in the centre of the
canopy.
oThere are several buttons on the control panel, which perform
separate functions.
To use your cooker hood
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
oFind the control panel, which is located at the front of the
canopy.

IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD SWITCH ON
YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO
COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN
COOKING. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR
TEN MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING.
Cleaning your cooker hood
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
oClean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.
oNever use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
oNever insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
oOnly clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
oIf you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended interval
(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.
oIMPORTANT: You should regularly use a good quality
stainless steel cleaner to maintain the shine and finish on
the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood.

oThis will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect
the stainless steel surfaces and keep them in good condition for
the life of the product.
The grease filter
oYour cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from greasy
residues.
oThis metallic filter may become flammable if it becomes
saturated with this greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filter 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 FILTER IN A DISHWASHER.
Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filter
oLift up the cover that sits over the grease filter (as shown in the
line drawing above).
12

oRemove the grease filter by
pulling down on the handle, and
then pull it upwards away from
the main body of the cooker
hood.
oSoak the grease filter in hot water and washing up liquid for at
least 5 minutes (or longer if the grease build up is severe).
oRinse it off thoroughly with hot water.
oRepeat the process if required.
oRefit the grease filter once it has dried.
oClose the cover that sits over the grease filter.
oIMPORTANT: Let the grease filter dry thoroughly before
refitting it to the cooker hood.

the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the
canopy.
oUse a screwdriver to remove the glass cover that sits over the
bulb. Unclip 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.
14

Fitting the carbon filters
If the appliance is to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary
to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused

one end of the motor, the fixing
point is in the centre of the
carbon filter.
3) Turn the carbon filter
clockwise, 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 filters.
oThe carbon filters should be replaced every 3 - 6 months or if
they show signs of damage.
15

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 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

Electrical connection
16
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
