IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a non-abrasive 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. Ensure that the extractor is dry after cleaning.
Removing the grease filter
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.
Fig 2.
To remove the grease filter,
pushing the button on the handle
and then pull down on the filter
at the front, as shown in figure 2.
Once released at the front it can
be pulled completely away.

8 | Instruction Manual
Please note that cleaning the grease filter(s) in a dishwasher may
cause the filters to discolour. This is normal and does not constitute a
fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter
To ensure the best performance of your extractor, you should replace
the charcoal filter every three to six months, depending on the frequency
of use and the style of cooking. To attach new charcoal filters, first
remove the grease filter(s) as described on the previous page. Offer up
the charcoal filters to the sides of the motor as shown in figure 3, turning
it clockwise until it locks in place.
Please note that charcoal filters are only required when the extractor
is being used in recirculation mode. Charcoal filters are not supplied and
are available to purchase from our Customer Care team
Fig 3.

Instruction Manual | 9
Extractor lighting
The lighting on your extractor uses energy efficient LED technology
and is designed to last the lifetime of the product. If the LED system
malfunctions, please contact CDA Customer Care.
Operating modes
Your extractor can be used in either of two modes - recirculation or
extraction. The choice often depends on the specific installation
requirements. Your installer will be able to advise which is best for you.
Note that when used in recirculation mode, the extractor will only
remove grease and odours from cooking. It will not remove steam.
The LED units must only be replaced by a
competent appliance service engineer.

who will comply with the I.E.T. and local
regulations.
The wires in the mains lead of this
appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
BLUE = NEUTRAL, BROWN = LIVE, GREEN & YELLOW = EARTH
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 green & yellow must be connected to the
terminal marked E (Earth) or coloured green.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
marked N (Neutral) or coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
marked L (Live) or coloured red or brown.

12 | Instruction Manual
Determining the position of your extractor
When the extractor is to be
mounted above an electric hob,
the distance between the hob
and the extractor must be
greater than 550mm (600mm is
recommended). When the
extractor is to be mounted
above a gas hob, the distance
between the hob and extractor
must be greater than 650mm.
If the instructions provided with your gas hob dictate that the required
distance between hob and extractor must be greater than 650mm
then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a legal
requirement and failure to comply with the regulations may lead to
your hob being disconnected from the mains gas supply, and the
installation reported to RIDDOR. Any heights measured are from the
top of the gas 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.
h = min 550mm

h = min 650mm

2. Next, drill the fixing holes and insert
suitable wall plugs. Please make sure
you use fixings suitable for your wall.
Seek advice if you are unsure.
3. Secure the main wall hanging bracket
to the wall using the provided screws.

16 | Instruction Manual
Ducting and ventilation
For best performance and quietest operation, we recommend the use
of 150mm ducting and for the extractor to be used in extraction mode
(as shown in figure 4). 125mm ducting may be used but this will reduce
the performance and increase the noise of the extractor when in use.
The use of 100mm ducting is not recommended.
Wherever possible, utilize rigid circular or rectangular section pipe
which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina type
ducting. The lengths of ducting with minimal effect on performance are
as follows:
4 metres with 1 x 90obend
3 metres with 2 x 90obends
2 metres with 3 x 90obends
Longer ducting can be used, but this will reduce the performance and
efficiency of your extractor. Ducting should be sealed to the vent outlet
using suitable securing means. Note that ducting components and
ducting kits are optional accessories and must be purchased separately.
Installation for recirculation
When installing this extractor for recirculating the air within your kitchen,
we recommend the use of optional charcoal filters to help remove
cooking odours. You should change these every three to six months,
depending on use.
