This cooker hood is guaranteed and will give lasting service. The guarantee is only
applicable if the hood has been installed in accordance with these instructions.
The cooker hood has been designed for use fixed directly onto a wall. The hood can be
used to extract odours to the outside or to recirculate the air within the kitchen after
passing through a cleansing charcoal filter. Charcoal filters are supplied as an optional
extra, please phone Belling Spares department on 0844 815 3745 and quote part number
CHT28.
The hood is convertible to either function.
Belling disclaims any liability for any damage or injury caused as a result of not following
the installation & user instructions.

5
Warning: This hood is designed for domestic use only.
When used in the extraction mode the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than
electric, such as a central heating flue or a water heater flue.
If 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 room sealed or balanced flue type. If
other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure there is adequate ventilation in the
room.
All installations must comply with local authority requirements for the discharge of exhaust
air.
• Positioning
When installed above a cooking appliance the distance between the surface of the
appliance hotplate and the lower grill of the hood must not be less than 65cm (25½”).
This appliance is suitable for ceiling heights of approximately 225cm (7’5”) and 262cm
(8’7”) depending on the installation. If you have a ceiling greater than this height please
ring our spares department on 0844 815 3745 for the tall ceiling kit (see Optional Extras).
Do not fit above a cooker with a high level grill.
The distance between adjoining wall cabinets and the worktop must not be less than
40cm (15¾”).
If the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then the provision for
ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
and the relevant building regulations.
Warning: The fan motor of this cooker hood incorporates a thermal cut-out which will
operate if the cooker hood is installed below the minimum recommended height or the
motor overheats. If the cut-out operates. Switch off the cooker hood and allow the motor
to cool, the cutout will then reset itself.
• Unpacking
Care should be taken when unpacking the cooker hood to ensure that the outlet flange,
screws and wall plugs, literature pack etc. are retained with the hood.
- Components
The hood consists of :
1 hood body complete with controls and lights
1 complete telescopic flue
1 connecting flange Y.
1 bracket Z to fix the flue unit to the wall
1 bag containing screws and documents

• Installation Instructions
• Wall fitting
The cooker hood may be fitted to any rigid vertical surface. All the fittings supplied are
to be found in the polythene bag.
Important: Before installation, check the wall to which the cooker hood is to be fitted, for
electric cables, water or gas pipes before drilling. If it is necessary to fix the hood to a
hollow construction, plaster or partition structure, suitable fittings (not included) must be
used.
• Mounting the hood to the wall
Drill 8 holes (B, C, D) respecting the distances indicated (Fig. 3) and the holes A using
the bracket Z as template. Fix the bracket Z to the wall (Fig. 3).
Hang the hood on the wall using the holes C (Fig. 3). After having levelled the appliance
finally secure the hood to the wall using the holes D.
• Internal Exhausting
Screw the connecting flange Y to the exhaust fan unit on the hood body (Fig. 2). Insert the
upper flue E into the lower flue F with the slots facing upwards. Pull out the upper flue as
far as the bracket Z and fix it with the screws provided.
Charcoal filters are used to purify the air which will be recycled into the room. The filters
cannot be washed or regenerated and must be replaced every 4 months.
The charcoal filters are supplied as an optional extra, please phone Belling Spares
department on 0844 815 3745 and quote part number CHT28.
Saturation of the activated charcoal depends on more or less extensive use of the hood,
the type of kitchen and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter. The air is recycled into
the room through the slots in the flue E.
• External Exhausting
Fix the connecting flange Y (Fig. 2). By means of a connection pipe of 120 mm internal
diameter, connect the flange Y to the outlet opening. Insert the upper flue E into the lower
flue F with the slots facing downwards (Fig. 2).
Fix the lower flue to the wall using the previously drilled holes B (Fig. 3). Pull out the
upper flue as far as the bracket Z and fix it with the screws provided.
• Electrical Connection
Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the voltage is as stated on the rating
plate inside the cooker hood.
Warning: This appliance is fully insulated and must not be earthed.
The appliance comes with a 2 core mains cable and should be permanently connected to
the electricity supply via a double pole switched fused spur outlet with a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm in both poles.
Installation must comply with the latest IEE regulations and must be carried out by a
competent person.
The cooker hood must be protected by a 3-amp fuse.

• Use and Maintenance
It is advisable to switch the cooker hood on a few minutes before cooking starts and that it
be left on for about 15 minutes after cooking is completed to exhaust all the odours.
On the front of the hood there are:
1. Cooker hood On indicator light
2. On/off switch
3. 3 buttons to adjust the motor speed
4. An on/off switch for the light.
Good functioning of the hood depends on the regularity with which maintenance
operations are carried out, in particular the anti-grease filters and the activated charcoal
filter. The anti-grease filters have the function of holding back grease
particles suspended in the air, and are thus subject to clogging with time depending on the
frequency of use of the appliance.
Clean the filters every 2 months by carrying out the following operations:
- Remove the filters from the hood and wash them with warm soapy water.
- Rinse in lukewarm water and leave them to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may be subject to colour alterations after washing. This is natural
over time and will not affect the performance of the appliance.
If filters are not cleaned regularly, there may be a risk of them catching fire.
Frequently clean off any deposits on the fan and other surfaces, using warm soapy water.
