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.

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 non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif)
will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
You can clean you 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 filters should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filters
with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filters 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 filters.
To remove the grease filters, pull open the handle on the grease filter. It
will release at the handle side. Then lower the grease filter to remove it
completely. To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. 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 remove the grease filters as described
above. Then offer up the charcoal filter to the side of the motor as shown in
figure 2 and turn it clockwise until it locks into place. Repeat with the other
charcoal filter on the other side of the motor. Then replace the grease filters
and cover panels.

Changing the Light
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
DO NOT CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AS
THE BULB WILL BE HOT. ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE REMOVING IT.
Carefully prise open the lamp assembly cover (D) using a small, flat-bladed
screwdriver and remove the old bulb (C). Refit the new bulb taking care not
to touch the glass of the bulb (Fingerprints will lead to premature failure of
the bulb)
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.

Mounting your Extractor
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.
Ducting and Ventilation
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the use
of 125mm ducting. You can also use 100mm ducting but this will reduce
performance.

responsibility of the installer to ensure that the fixings are suitable for the
ceiling type in the property.
Installation
1. Firstly, fix the vent outlet to the extractor body using four screws, as
shown in fig 4.
2. Using the supplied template, mark the positions of the ceiling mounting
screws and the cut-out for the ducting pipe, if required.
Fix four suitable wall plugs into the holes and proceed to assemble the
extractor, as described in fig 5.
3. To determine the overall height of the chimney section, use the
calculation shown below for your extractor (refer to fig 3):
A = Height of gas hob burner or electric hotplate height from the
kitchen floor
B = Clearance required: Gas hobs 750mm recommended
Electric hobs: 650mm recommended
A+B is the required height of the body of the extractor above the floor.
Next we need to calculate the required height of the extractor.
Whole extractor height = ceiling height - height above floor (A+B)
4. Assemble the chimney sections 1, 2 3 and 4 on the diagram below,
using the supplied fixing screws and fix to the chimney body. Measure
the height of the chimney and ensure that it is equal or less than the
height calculated in step 3. (When the extractor is mounted the height
between the hob and extractor must be at least the minimum
height specified)

5. Place the chimney section over the body assembly, as shown in fig 7.
6. With the help of another individual, raise the whole assembly to the
ceiling and fix securely in place using four screws appropriate for the
wall plugs inserted in step 2. Ensure that the supporting ceiling is strong
enough to take the weight before releasing the extractor.
7. Connect the ducting to the extractor vent outlet, securing it in place with
a cable tie, duct tape or other suitable means.
8. Finally, raise the inner section of the chimney to the ceiling and secure in
place using the two small screws supplied
9. Note that the electrical connection to the extractor should not be
located inside the boundaries of the chimney. This is especially important
if the extractor is to be used as a recycling device. There should be an
isolation switch so that the extractor can be disconnected from the mains
electrical supply after installation.

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, 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 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.
•The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal marked E (Earth) or coloured green or green and yellow.
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.
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.
