Care and maintenance
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR ATTEMPT
TO CLEAN THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. ALWAYS WEAR ADEQUATE PPE
(PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT) FOR THE TASK AT HAND.
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 eectively by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a
clean cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Always protect surfaces immediately beneath the extractor (such
as a hob) with clean, dry towels or similar cushioning items before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance in case of falling parts/
items.
Cleaning the grease filters
The grease filters 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 filters in a
dishwasher, ensuring that you place them in an upright position to
prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and
drying, replace the filters. Please note that washing the filters in a

9
dishwasher can lead to discolouration. This is not a fault.
To remove the grease filters follow these steps:
1. Open the cover panel by pulling down on the LED indicator side.
The panel will lower as far as the safety wires permit.
2. Pull down the handle on each grease filter. It will release at the
handle side. Then, lower the grease filter to remove it completely.
To replace the grease filters, repeat
the above steps in reverse.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-
circulating only) - Fig. 2
To attach a new charcoal filter, first
open the cover panel and remove the
grease filters as described above and
any old charcoal filter(s). Then, oer
up the charcoal filter to the aperture.
Repeat with the other side. Then
replace the grease filters and cover
panels.
This appliance is fitted with energy saving LED lighting that has a
considerably longer life expectancy than traditional filament bulbs.
These are not user-replaceable. In the unlikely event of a failure
please contact CDA Customer Care using the details on page 21.
The lighting is designed for use during cooking and not for general
room illumination. Extended use of the light can reduce the life span.

Installation preparation
When installing this product we recommend you seek the help of
at least two other individuals. This product may have some sharp
edges. Please take care and wear adequate PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) when handling.
Installation preparation - height
IMPORTANT: This extractor should be installed at a distance between
2000 and 2100mm from the floor in order to function properly. The
fixings allow for a minimum distance of 300mm and a maximum of 480
from the solid ceiling (measured from the ceiling to the downwards-
facing side of the extractor).
When the extractor is to be installed above an electric hob, the
minimum distance between the hob and the downwards-facing side
of extractor must exceed 650mm.
When the extractor is to be installed above a CDA gas hob, the
minimum distance between the hob and the downwards-facing side
of extractor must exceed 650mm.
If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the
required distance between the hob and extractor must be greater
than our measurement, 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 under RIDDOR (the height should be measured from the
top of the burners).

11
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH A GAS
HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND
EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm. The width of a hob must
not be greater than the width of the extractor installed above it.
We strongly recommend fixing this appliance to a solid ceiling. It
is important to ensure that any false ceiling does not weigh on the
hood. This will help to avoid stress or strain on the extractor body.
Suitable fixings must be sought if securing this extractor to joists etc.
Below (Fig. 3) is a diagram showing the overall extractor dimensions
and also the dimensions between the fixing holes. This is to aid you
in marking the solid ceiling in preparation for installing the extractor.
If you are marking the hole positions whilst the people helping you
are oering the extractor to the ceiling, we recommend removing the
cover panel and the centre panel as per pages 12 and 13.
Recommended niche dimensions = 1065 x 665 mm

Changing the motor position:
The motor unit can be turned to
position the outlet on two sides in
addition to the factory standard side.
These are:
•Through the top of the motor
housing (Fig. 4).
•Through the side of the motor
housing as shown in Fig. 5.
(If you do not wish to change the
motor position, turn to page 15)
The cover panel can be removed, if
required, to make the installation easier.
To do this, lay the extractor down on
a protected surface, taking care not
to damage anything. Open the cover
panel most of the way and, whilst
the person helping you supports the
cover panel, undo the two carabiner-
style clips that hold the beading wires
between the cover panel and the
extractor body (Fig. 6).
Open the cover panel fully but ensure
that the surrounding area is cushioned
or protected in case the extractor tips.

Fig. 6

13
Whilst the person helping you is
supporting the cover panel, undo the
final carabiner-style clip on the hinge
side of the cover panel and then undo
the screws holding the hinges to the
extractor body (Fig. 7). Place the cover
panel somewhere safe where it will
neither cause nor receive damage.
Remove the four screws holding the
centre panel in place (Fig. 8). Lift the
centre panel clear of the extractor and
place it somewhere safe (Fig. 9).
Disconnect the cable connector from
the motor as per Fig. 10. Remove the
spot-welded plates (for the motor and
the screws) from the aperture you
wish to move the outlet to.
Undo the four screws holding the
motor in place. If you intend on
moving the motor to the side wall as
per Fig. 5, then you will also need to
remove the motor fixing plate pictured
in Fig. 11.

Place this plate (Fig. 11) over the
newly prepared area and attach with
the same two screws you removed
originally as per Fig. 12.
Please note: If you are switching the
motor to the position shown in Fig. 4
then you do not need this plate.
Take the supplied cover plate and fit it
over the original motor position, as per
Fig. 13. Secure with two screws.
Manoeuvre the motor into its new
position and attach with the four
screws and washers that originally
held it in place. Reconnect the cable
connector, ensuring you get the
connections correct (they are shaped
to help).
We recommend that you now prepare
the ducting. Please see pages 15 and 16 for more information.

15
Ducting
The extractor can be used as a recirculation device or as an extraction
device, depending on your installation. Both types will require ducting.
The hood is more eective when used in the extraction mode
(ducted to the outside). In this mode, charcoal filters are not required.
The ducting used must be 150mm, rigid circular pipe and must be
manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS 476 or DIN
4102-B1.
Wherever possible utilise rigid circular pipe which has a smooth
interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The
lengths of the ducting without performance being aected are as
follows:
• 4 metres with 1 x 90° bend.
• 3 metres with 2 x 90° bends.
• 2 metres with 3 x 90° bends.
Longer ducting can be used but the performance of the extractor will
likely be reduced.
Please note: Ducting components and ducting kits are optional
accessories and have to be ordered, they are not automatically
supplied with the hood. Use of ducting less than 150mm in diameter
will aect performance and increase the noise produced by the
extractor.

16
Ducting for recirculation mode
An internal air vent, and ducting leading to it, is required as shown
below. This ensures that the air is placed back in the kitchen/room
after it has been filtered.
Observe the distance and bend combination as per page 15. The
vent should be at least 1 metre from the extractor to prevent the
cleansed air being drawn back into the extractor. Fit the charcoal
filters to the body of the motor as shown on page 9.
Note that the duct pipe should be secured and sealed to the vent
outlet pipe / valve using appropriate ducting tape or a securing clamp.
Please note: If you have not
adjusted the position of the motor,
you can remove the part of the
internal housing pictured in Fig. 15
to help you secure the ducting to
the motor.

Mounting the extractor
Once you are content with the prepared
area, drill out the fixing hole markings
using a Ø10mm bit suitable for the solid
ceiling. Remove the wingnut and two
washers from each mechanical anchor.
Place each anchor into the four Ø10mm
holes. Ensure the anchor end (A in Fig. 16)
is in the solid ceiling.
Using a 10mm spanner, fully tighten the nut highlighted by the arrow
in Fig. 16. This will splay the anchor within the drilled hole. Do this for
each anchor.
Once you are content that the anchors are solidly secured, raise the
extractor up to them and guide the pre-cut holes in the motor housing
over the threaded screws. Connect the ducting and either connect
or make free the electrical cable so that it can be connected to the
mains later. Do not yet switch the power to the extractor on.
Whilst those helping you are supporting the body of the extractor,
attach the washers and the wingnuts and tighten as far as they will go.
Ensure the extractor is securely fastened.
Refit the centre panel, the cover panel and the grease filters.
