Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEAN-
ING 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 eectively by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a
clean cloth.
We recommend always wearing PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) when carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this
appliance.
•Once care and maintenance is complete, ensure that all parts
are correctly replaced before using the extractor.
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.
Instruction Manual | 11
To remove the grease filter, pull the glass control panel towards
you and the panel will move upwards then pull open the handle on
the grease filter marked with the arrow in Fig. 1. 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.
Fig. 1
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 oer
up the charcoal filter to the side
of the motor as shown in Fig.
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 return
the glass panel to its previous position.
Fig. 2
12 | Instruction Manual
Changing the light
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.
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.
Ducting and ventilation
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the
use of 150mm ducting. You can also use 120mm ducting but this
will reduce performance. In general, the less ducting you use (i.e.
distance and bends) the more ecient your extractor will be.
The lengths of ducting with minimal eect on performance 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 aect performance and increase the noise produced
by the extractor.

Installation
• We recommend that you seek the help of another individual
when installing this product. Always wear adequate PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment).
• The fixings supplied are suitable for most installations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure that the fixings are suitable
for the wall type in the property.
IMPORTANT: When preparing to connect the extractor to the
mains power supply, 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 in recirculation
mode. There must be an isolation switch, which is easily accessible
after installation, so that the extractor can be disconnected from
the mains electrical supply.
14 | Instruction Manual
Gas: 650mm minimum
Electric: 450mm minimum
Fig. 3
Mounting your extractor
When the extractor is to be installed above an electric, ceramic
or induction hob, the minimum distance between the hob and
extractor must be at least 450mm.
When the extractor is to be installed above a gas hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and extractor must be at least 650mm.
If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the
required distance between the hob and extractor must be greater
than 650mm, 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).
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH
THE GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM
DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND
EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST
650mm.
The width of any hob must not be
greater than the width of the extractor
installed above it.

Below are images showing the extractor dimensions for both
models below. This is intended to help with preparation for
installing the extractor.
500-980
600 / 900
Taking into account the extractor dimensions, and the advice re-
garding installation height as per page 14, roughly mark the centre
line for the extractor.
Use the supplied template to finalise the extractor’s position before
using a pencil or similar to mark the mounting bracket and screw
hole positions.

Installation
Once you are content with the prepared area, drill out the holes
indicated by the markings on the template and insert wall plugs.
The three holes in the upper half of the supplied template are
where the mounting bracket is to be located. Fit this bracket now
(but do not mount the extractor yet).
Drill two holes indicated in
the lower half of the template
and insert wall plugs. Once
the extractor is mounted on
the bracket in Fig.5 , two extra
screws inserted here will provide
extra support for the extractor
body. There are pre drilled holes
at the back of the extractor
parallel to the motor for these
screws (Fig. 6)
When the steps above have been
completed, the extractor can be
placed on to the mounting bracket
as shown in Fig. 5. Once the
extractor is securely mounted on
the bracket, two screws should
be inserted through the small
brackets and in to the wall as
circled in Fig. 5. You should then
proceed to insert two screws
through the back of the extractor
to the wall via the pre- drilled
holes as shown in Fig. 6.

If you are using ducting to your extractor to ventilate the extracted
air outside now is the time to attach it. Place the ducting pipe over
the duct outlet at the top of the extractor. Use duct tape or a cable
tie to secure it. If you are recirculating the air back in to the room
no ducting is required.
Place the bottom section of the decorative chimney over the duct
outlet and using a pencil or similar mark
through the holes at the top of the
chimney rail.
Drill two holes where you made the
markings and insert two wall plugs in
to the holes. You can now mount the
bottom chimney section as per Fig. 7.
Slide the top section of the chimney
through the bottom section and adjust
as necessary. Hold the chimney bracket
in place at the top of the top section as
shown in Fig. 8 and using a pencil or
similar, mark two holes against the wall.
Drill two holes and insert wall plugs. With
the chimney bracket in place insert two
screws through the bracket and into the
wall. Finally insert the last two screws
from the side of the chimney and through
in to the bracket.
