Using your rangehood
Before first use
IMPORTANT: This process must be followed before the rangehood is used for the
first time.
You should use a mild liquid detergent and a damp cloth on all the external areas of
your rangehood before it is used for the first time. This will help to remove any residues
from the manufacturing process.
To use your rangehood
IMPORTANT: Ideally you should switch on your rangehood ten minutes before
you start to cook, or at the very least when you begin cooking. You should also
run your rangehood for ten minutes after you have finished cooking.
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located on the rangehood’s front surface near the
upper right corner of the unit.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains switches as shown in the Figure below.
These perform separate functions. You will need to understand what
both switches do before you attempt to use your rangehood.
Key:
‘W’ - Motor operation:
1 - low speed, 2 - mid speed, 3 - high speed.
‘U’ – Light ‘on/off’ button - This button controls the light

in extraction mode or recirculation mode. Please refer to page 18 to understand the
differences between these two modes.
oWe recommend that at least two people install this rangehood.
oIf you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then PLEASE NOTE that all
of the vent in the upper chimney section must be exposed. You will have to take
this into account when calculating the minimum height of the extractor when
installed.
oIMPORTANT: If the recirculation vents are obstructed then the efficiency of
the extraction will be affected and could damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS
SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN
COMPLETED.
1) Determine the correct height for the hood and fix the hook. Ensure that the hook
is level when fixed. Mark and fix the inner chimney bracket as described in the
section “Fitting the chimney” on page 13.
2) Fix the outer chimney bracket to the outer chimney ensuring that the inner
chimney is free to slide to the required height and the exhaust ducting does not
impede the movement. Then fit the exhaust ducting and the chimney assembly
to the hood and hang on the hook.

13
3) Feed the exhaust ducting to your desired position, install the glass onto the hood,
then adjust the height of the inside chimney to the inner chimney bracket and
screw in place. Once the position is fixed secure the unit with two safety screws
through the Ø6mm holes in the back casing.
Fitting the chimney
9) Take the two chimney sections (C) and (D).
oRest the bottom of chimney section (C) on the
top of the hood. You should take care to position
the tabs on the chimney section into the rear of
the hood.
oMark the side measurement of both sides of
chimney section (C) on the wall with a pencil.

14
10) Lift chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it
is perpendicular to the hood.
oMark the side measurements of both sides of chimney section (D) on the wall with a
pencil and then remove chimney section (D).
11) Take the flat bracket (E) and
place it between the two pencil
marks that you made in step 9.
oKeeping the bracket in contact
with the wall, use a pencil to
mark on the wall the anchoring holes that are cut out of the bracket.
12) Using a 6 mm drill bit, drill two holes on
the pencil markings that you made in step 10.
Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then use
a screwdriver to secure the fixing bracket to
the wall.

Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
IMPORTANT: You will have to decide prior to installing your rangehood whether to use
it in extraction mode or recirculation mode.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and out of the room via
external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a
charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the
rangehood.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the rangehood is used in extraction
mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat, or if the rangehood is too far from an outside wall, this
may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All rangehoods have a grease filter but if you are using your rangehood in recirculation
mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
