INSTALLATION PREPARE FOR THE INSTALLATION:
If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as per the below picture by means of an extraction duct with an interior diameter of 150mm. Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
The cooker hood should be installed so that there is a space of 650-760mm from the centre of the mesh grease filters to the hob (435-545mm from the bottom of the hood to the hob). It is the manufacturer of the hob who determines the clearance required and the clearance quoted by the hob manufacturer must be followed. In the absence of any instructions supplied with a gas hob the minimum distance between the hob and the centre of the mesh grease filters must be at least 760mm.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning or maintenance please switch off the electricity supply and remove the plug from
the wall.
REGULAR CLEANING
Use a soft damp cloth with lukewarm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never
use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material, abrasive cleaning creams or stiff brushes to clean
the appliance.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
Clean the filter every month to help minimise the risk of fire. The filter collects grease, smoke and
dust, therefore the filter is directly affecting the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the
grease residue (which is potentially flammable) will saturate the filter. It can be easily cleaned with
warm water and washing up liquid, alternatively the filters can be cleaned in your dishwasher.
Please ensure no other items are washed with the filters, they must be washed separately to
prevent food becoming trapped in the gauze. Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may
lead to discolouration, this is normal and is a not a fault with the product.
REPLACING YOUR CHARCOAL FILTER
This only applies if you are using the hood in recirculation mode (not vented to the outside). The
charcoal filter traps your cooking odours and they need to be replaced, this can vary depending on
how frequently the cooker hood is used. We recommend replacing them at least every 6 months.
This extractor uses CAP61CF
REPLACING THE BULB
NOTE:
The lights must be replaced by a qualified person.
1. Switch the unit off and unplug the appliance.
2. Push out and unclip the old LED light.
3. Replace with the same type and rated bulb/lamp fixing.
LED lamp (max.1.5W).
