Page 4
• Do not touch any part of the light
fittings or adjacent areas during or
straight after prolonged use as they get
very hot and could cause severe burns.
• In certain circumstances electrical
appliances may be a hazard.
• Do not check the status of the filters
while the e tractor hood is operating.
• Avoid leaving e posed flames
unattended and always ensure that the
burners are covered as open flames are
damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard.
• Constantly check food frying to avoid
overheated oil becoming a fire hazard.
• There must be adequate ventilation of
the room when the e tractor hood is
used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not
carried out in accordance with the
instructions.
• The e tractor hood uses a 220-
230V~ /50Hz power supply.
• If the mains power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
• The power cord is located in the
chimney area. Should you require an
installation with no visible wiring, a 15
amp earthed plug socket should be

The man fact rer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any
damage d e to incorrect electrical
connection.
• This extractor hood may not be sed
with a battery inverter power s pply.
Safety advi e
Before use
• This e tractor hood complies with all
relevant safety regulations.
• Never operate the e tractor hood
without a grease filter.
• Never leave cooking fat or oil
unattended. Overheated fat or oil can
easily catch fire.
• Do not flambé food directly under the

Des ription
• The e tractor hood fan e tracts the
kitchen vapours and passes them
through the grease filter.
• The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the cooking vapours,
keeping the kitchen almost free of
grease.

Preparing for installation
Venting air to the outside
When discharging the air into a ventilation
duct or directly through the ceiling into the
open, please take note of the following:
• Exha st air from the extractor hood
m st not be directed into a fl e or
chimney which is sed for exha sting
the f mes or smoke from other
appliances b rning gas or f els.
• Please ens re that reg lations
concerning the discharge of exha st
air have been f lfilled. (SABS IEC
60335-2-31).
For optimum e tractor hood efficiency
use a short, smooth, round air e haust
pipe with as few bends as possible. A 150
mm diameter e haust pipe is
recommended. A long bo section,
narrowed or bent pipes will hinder
performance and increase noise levels.
• Connecting a 150 mm diameter pipe:
Mount the pipe directly onto the air
outlet on the e tractor hood.
• The e tractor hood filters out solid
particles before the air is re-circulated,
via the vents on the side of the upper
chimney, back into the kitchen.
Re- ir ulating filtered air
The extractor hood has the ability to
either recirc late the filtered air back
into the kitchen, or the filtered air can
be circ lated thro gh a d ct to the
o tside of the b ilding or into the
ceiling.
Decide on which option best suits you
before commencing with the installation.
Tools req ired for installation:
• An electric drill.
• A saw for the chimney duct.
• A star screw driver (Posi 2).
• A ratchet with a 10 mm socket and a
100 mm e tension.
• A tape measure, masking tape and a
pencil.

Installation
Note: The extractor hood is intended to hang
from a horizontal ceiling capable of s pporting
the weight of the hood. (Approximately 40Kg.)
Step 1
• Carefully unpack the e tractor hood, the
component parts and remove the grease filter.
See page 8.
• With the assistance of a qualified installer,
mount the top e tension adaptor to the ceiling
directly above the cooking surface using the 4
M6 bolts as supplied.
• Where applicable, cut a hole in the ceiling to
accept the power cord, the fitted plug and an
outlet pipe.
Step 2
• Fit and secure the angular mounting structures
into the four recesses on the e tractor hood
using the 12 M6 bolts and washers supplied.
Step 3
• Slide the lower chimney duct onto the
e tractor hood.
• Slide the top chimney (the one with the slotted
vents) into the lower chimney duct.
Step 4
• Lift the e tractor hood assembly into the top
e tension adaptor. Adjust to a suitable height
(A minim m clearance height of 650 mm is
req ired when installed above a b ilt in
electric hob or 700 mm when installed above
a b ilt in gas hob).
• Ensure that the e tractor hood is level before
tightening the 4 M8 clamping bolts which
hold the hood in place.
• Connect the outlet pipe, if required, and insert
the fitted plug into a 15A earthed socket.
Step 5
• Slide the upper chimney duct into place
against the ceiling.
• Fasten from the sides with 2 4.8 mm self
tapping screws.
Step 6
• Fasten the lower chimney duct to the e tractor
hood from underneath.
• Refit the grease filter.

Page 8
Optional Carbon pad filters
We recommend that the e tractor hood
is switched on before any food is
cooked. We also recommend that the
e tractor hood is left running for 15
minutes after the food is cooked, in
order to thoroughly eliminate all
contaminated air. The effective
performance of the e tractor hood
depends on constant maintenance; the
anti-grease filter and the active carbon
filter both require special attention.
• Remove the plastic outer protective
lining on the grease filters before fitting
them to the e tractor hood.
• To fit the filters, engage the two lugs at
the rear of each filter into the
rectangular slots of the e tractor hood
frame, lift the filter and press the handle
catch inwards.
• Engage the filter and release the catch.
• To remove the filter, for cleaning
purposes, reverse the procedure
described above.
• The anti-grease filter is used to trap
any grease particles suspended in the
air, therefore is subject to saturation
(the time it takes for the filter to
become saturated depends on the way
in which the appliance is used).
To prevent potential fire hazards, the
anti-grease filters should be washed a
minimum of every 2 months (it is
possible to use the dishwasher for this
task).
After a few washes, the colour of the
filters may change. This does not mean
they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing
instructions are not followed, the anti-
grease filters may present a fire hazard.
Grease filters
• Carbon pad filters assist in removing
any unwanted cooking odours from the
atmosphere.
• If your installation ducts filtered air to
the outside, the carbon pad filters are
not required.
• Should you require them, factory
approved, carbon pad filters and
installation kits may be purchased from
your nearest Defy Service Centre or
their authorised agents.
The Carbon pad filters are 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. 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.
Before and after use

to replace the b lb.
• Hold the glass cover and unclip the
retaining ring. Be careful not to let the
glass cover fall.
• Replace the light bulb with a
commercially available G9 220V 25W
halogen or equivalent bulb.
• Take care not to handle the
replacement b lb with bare fingers
as transferred skin oil may shorten
the life expectancy of the halogen
b lb.
• Fit the glass cover in the retaining ring,
align the 3 clips to the slots and clip
back into place.
• Switch on the electricity supply.
• Select the fan speed you require.
• Push button ‘3’ for high e traction

Page 10
Maintenan e and leaning
Important:
Before cleaning any part of the hood,
switch the power off at the mains.
Cleaning the metal grease filters.
• In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filters must be cleaned
every 8 to 10 weeks.
• The filters may washed in a
dishwasher, however they may
discolour slightly.
• When hand cleaning the filters, soak
them in hot, soapy water to loosen the
grease.
• Brush with a stiff nylon brush.
• Rinse clean and allow to air dry before
re-fitting.
• If cleaning is not carried o t in
accordance with the instr ctions, the
acc m lated grease co ld, over time,
become a fire risk.
General cleaning.
Stainless steel is not adversely affected by
normal household use but because of its
reputation for durability, it is sometimes
assumed to be indestructible, and
therefore subjected to misuse or even
abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such
‘abnormal use’.
Cleaning materials.
Do se:
• A moist lint free soft cloth or synthetic
sponge.
• Soap, or mild liquid detergent.
• A mild window cleaner.
• Diluted ammonia in warm water.
• A nylon bristle brush.
• Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless
steel”.
Do not se:
• A steam cleaner.
• Acid, alcohol, soda, chloride or spirit
based cleaners.
• Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.
• Metallic scourers, steel wool, metal
scrapers, or plastic scouring pads.
• Wire brushes or emery paper.
• So called “silver cleaners”.
Cleaning proced re
• Frequent cleaning is recommended
rather than an occasional aggressive
clean.
• Routine cleaning will preserve the
corrosion resistance and the appearance
of the stainless steel for many years.
• Clean the stainless steel as often as
necessary (i.e. when it is noticeably dull
or dirty) and use the simplest cleaning
method that will effectively do the job.
• Use clean water, or a mild detergent
solution applied with a soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse well and wipe dry.
• Always wipe in the direction of the
brushed te ture on the stainless steel.
• Periodically apply a fine film of
dedicated stainless steel cleaner or
baby oil to the canopy of the e tractor
hood to add lustre and sparkle to the
steel.
