Remove all packaging and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner.
If the cooker hood is damaged in any way, do
not use it. Report the damage to your dealer,
who will take the necessary corrective action.
Description.
The cooker hood extracts cooking vapours
and passes these through aluminium grease
filters which absorb any solid particles in the
cooking vapours.
Electrical connection.
x The cooker hood uses a 220-240V/50Hz
power supply.
x If the mains power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
x Should you require an installation with no
visible wiring, an accessible 15 amp
earthed socket may be fitted in the
cupboard above or alongside the hood.
(A qualified electrician should provide this
facility).
x The manufacturer and the seller do not
accept responsibility for any damage
due to incorrect electrical connection
and or installation
x This cooker hood may not be used with
a battery inverter power supply.
Preparing for installation.
The cooker hood has the ability to either re-
circulate the filtered air back into the kitchen,
or to exhaust the filtered air through a vent in
an outside wall. A lever on the motor housing
can be set to either option. Decide on the
preferred option before commencing with the
installation.
Recirculating filtered air.
x Filtered air is re-circulated, via vents on
the upper surface of the hood, into the
kitchen.
x Care must be taken during installation not
to obstruct these vents.
x No ducting is required.
Venting air to the outside.
x Air may be vented to the outside by means
of a flexible hose or ducted flue. This type
of installation is best carried out by a
competent technician.
x Two outside venting options are provided
A = Horizontal venting
B = Vertical venting
x Use the circular cover to close the option
not required.
x When discharging filtered air into a flue or
directly through the wall into the open,
please take note of the following:
1. Exhaust air from the hood must not be
directed into a flue used for discharging
the fumes or smoke from other
appliances burning gas or fuels. See
illustration below.

hole.
x Partly insert two pan head
screws, with a head
diameter slightly smaller
than the lower opening in
the keyhole slot, into the
two upper rawl plugs.

screw sticking out.
x Lift the cooker hood and
slide the keyhole slots over
the two pan head screws.
x Pull down and hang the
cooker hood on the two
screws.
x Tighten the screws.
x To prevent accidental
lifting of the cooker hood,
fit a suitable screw into the
two retainer hole rawl
plugs.
x The hood should be mounted onto a flat
perpendicular kitchen wall.
x The hood must be mounted directly over
the cooking area. The minimum distance
between the cooking surface and the
underside of the hood must be 650 mm for
electric cookers and 750 mm for gas
burners.

Maintenance.
Safety advice.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the

There should be adequate ventilation of
the room when the cooker hood is used at
the same time as appliances using gas or
other fuels.

use only.
Do not operate the extractor hood without
the grease filters in place.
Grease filters must be cleaned regularly to
avoid accidental fires.
Do not leave cooking fat or oil unattended.
Overheated fat or oil can easily catch fire.
Do not flambé food directly under the
cooker hood. The flames pose the risk of
the grease filter catching fire.
Switch off the power at the mains in the
event of a fault or when cleaning the hood.
Do not touch any part of the light fittings
while they are in use. They get hot and
could cause discomfort.
Optional Carbon pad filters.
x Carbon pad filters assist in removing
cooking odours from the atmosphere.
x If filtered air is ducted to the outside,
carbon pad filters are not required.
x If required, factory approved, carbon
pad filters may be purchased from
your nearest Defy Service Centre.
Carbon pad filters ar e used to purify
the air which is released back into the
room. The filters are not washable or re-
usable and must be replaced at least once
every four months.

Cleaning.
x Switch off the power at the mains.
x Use a damp soapy cloth to remove any
accumulated dirt on the cabinet and glass

x Where applicable, stainless steel panels
may be wiped lightly with baby oil to
restore lustre and remove finger prints.
Do use
x A soft cloth.
x Synthetic sponge.
x Mild soap.
x Dishwashing liquid.
x A nylon bristle brush.

x A steam cleaner.
x Flammable liquids
x Acids, abrasive cleaning powders or gels.
x Scourers, steel wool, metal scrapers, wire
brushes or emery paper.
x So called “silver cleaners”.
x Products containing ammonia.
Problem check.
Before calling a service technician to assist
with a problem please check:
x The main distribution board. See if a
circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has
blown.
x The wall socket. Test with another
appliance such as a kettle.
x Have the filters been cleaned?
x Is the flue or outlet pipe blocked?
Remember that you may be charged for a
service call even during the warranty
period if the fault is due to or caused by
any of the above.
The active carbon filter saturation level
depends on the frequency with which the
appliance is used, the type of cooking
performed and the regularity with which the
anti-grease filters are cleaned.

Since the following are not factory faults,
they are the owner’s responsibility.
x Damage to exterior finish.
x Breakage of glass and other components.
x Replacement of the light bulbs.
