household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
Please note:
•Under no circumstances should the extractor be connected to any gas ventilation system, flue system or hot air
ducting system.
• Do not vent the extractor into an attic or loft space.
•Only house the extractor in rooms with adequate ventilation. Remember that the extractor is powerful and whatever air is
extracted needs to be replaced.
•Do not tile the extractor in. It should be removable for service or maintenance.
•Do not use silicone sealant to secure the hood to the wall.
•You must be able to isolate the extractor from the mains electrical supply after installation.
•This extractor has been designed to be used in a room with a volume of less than 36 m3.
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•The performance of your extractor will vary depending on a number of factors. These include: type of extraction, length of
ducting, room volume, ventilation available and cleanliness of the filters.

Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif)
will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution
of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth, for
example the CDA E-Cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with
hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring
that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items
in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter.
To remove the grease filter, first open the grease filter cover by sliding the
retaining clips across. Then remove the filter clips (shown as B in figure 2)
before removing the grease filter itself (shown as D in figure 2). To replace
the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the filter in the dishwasher may lead to discoloration. This is normal
and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)
To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the
charcoal filters every four to six months, depending on use. To attach a new
charcoal filter, first open the grease filter cover as described above. Then
offer up the charcoal filter (shown as C in fig 2) to the base of the motor and
turn it clockwise until it locks into place.

Changing the Light
DO NOT CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AS THE BULB WILL BE HOT. ALLOW IT TO COOL
BEFORE REMOVING IT.
Open the base of the extractor as described above, unscrew the light bulb and replace the light with the required light bulb as
shown in the table below. Finally, replace the grease filter.
Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas during or straight after prolonged use of the lights.
The light is designed for use during cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended use of the light can reduce the life
span of the bulb.
Bulb replacement is not covered by the guarantee.
Only use bulbs recommended for your extractor. Do not fit bulbs of a higher power rating. Bulbs of a lower power rating may be
adequate for use, generally last longer and use less energy.
Spare bulbs are available from CDA Customer Care or from your local DIY shop.

DOUBLE POLE SWITCHED
FUSED SPUR OUTLET
USE A 3 AMP FUSE
Mains Electricity Connection
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY BY
A COMPETENT PERSON, USING FIXED WIRING VIA A DOUBLE POLE
SWITCHED FUSED SPUR OUTLET AND PROTECTED BY A 3A FUSE.
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 of this appliance are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE = NEUTRAL, BROWN = LIVE.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals connecting
to the fused spur, proceed as follows:
•The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked N (Neutral), or coloured black.
•The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
marked L (Live), or coloured red.
If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a CDA approved
engineer, agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
NOTE: USE A 3A FUSE
Assembly and electrical connection should be carried out by competent
personnel.
When installing this product we recommend you seek the help of another
individual.
IMPORTANT: THIS APPLIANCE IS A CLASS II APPLIANCE (DOUBLE
INSULATED) AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE EARTHED. DO NOT FIT
AN EARTH LEAD TO THIS EXTRACTOR.
Do not mount the isolation switch behind the chimney section. It is a
requirement that you must be able to isolate the extractor from the mains
electrical supply after installation.
This appliance is intended to be connected to the mains electrical supply by
means of an isolation switch and fused spur and is intended to be protected
by a 3A fuse. The use of a 13A fuse can cause damage to the internal wiring
in the event of a fault, and may also invalidate the warranty.

Electrical Information
Mains electrical voltage: 230 – 240Vac.
Total rated power consumption: 153W.
Troubleshooting
Please note:
•Your extractor is equipped with a motor protection device that will switch off the motor to prevent damage from overheating.
This may happen during cooking when most or all of the zones/burners are being used simultaneously. This is normal, and the
extractor will work again once the motor has cooled sufficiently, or if your extractor is installed lower than the recommended
height above the hob.
If your extractor is not working:
1. Check that the mains supply has not been switched off.
2. Check that the fuse in the spur has not blown.

Installation
When the extractor is to be installed above an electric hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and extractor must exceed 600mm (650mm is
recommended).
When the extractor is to be installed above a gas hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and extractor must exceed 700mm (750mm is
recommended).
If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the required
distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than 700mm,
then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a legal requirement
and may lead to your hob being disconnected from the gas supply and the
installation being reported to RIDDOR (The height should be measured
from the top of the burners).
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE
GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND
EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm.
The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor
installed above it.
Fig. 3
Gas: 750mm recommended
Electric: 650mm recommended

Mounting your Extractor
The extractor can be mounted in two ways:
To fasten the product to the underside of a bridging cabinet:
1. Remove the grease filter cover.
2. Screw the hood directly to the cabinet using appropriate wood screws (these
are not supplied).
3. Replace the grease filter cover.
To mount the hood on to a wall:
1. Remove the grease filter cover.
2. Drill four holes as shown as B and Z in figure 4.
Please note:
•The size required for the hole is dependent on the wall fixings to be used.
3. Insert wall fixings into all four holes.
4. Tighten the fixing screws B, leaving approximately 3 mm proud of the wall.
5. Hang the hood on the fixing screws B and tighten fixing screws Z to secure
into position.
6. Replace the grease filter cover.
