To Operate
Select the required fan speed and light if required.
Recirculation
In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood through the grease lters. The air is
cleaned by passing through the charcoal lters
before being passed back into the kitchen through
the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.
Extraction
In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease lters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after nishing.
When used in the ducting mode the charcoal
lters are not required.
Never do ambé cooking under this cooker
hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended during use,
as over-heated fats and oils can catch re.
Do not leave naked ames under the cooker
hood.
Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered
with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.

7
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean, as
a build up of grease or fat can be a re
hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy
water using a mild detergent.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive
cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water
when cleaning particularly around the
control panel.
Metal Grease Filters
The grease lters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean
inside.
Cleaning
The lters must be washed once every
month, using a normal household
detergent; their compact dimension
also enables them to be washed in a
dishwasher. Allow to dry completely
before replacing.

Extraction
The cooker hood is more effective when used in the
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your retailer
or DIY store, and must be ducted to an outside vent
of Ø120mm or Ø150mm.
For the best performance use the shortest possible duct
run and the minimum number of bends.
Where exible ducting is tted it should not be turned
through very tight bends as this may impair the perform-
ance of the hood.
It is recommended a maximum length of 3 metres
with one bend, to be installed, to be reduced metre
for each 90o bend.
If a distance is greater than 3 metres the efciency of
the hood could be impaired.
The ducting used must be manufactured from fire
retardent material conforming to the relevant British
Standard or DIN 4102-B1.
When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside the
charcoal lter must be removed.
INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD
Before tightening the screws completely it is possible to
adjust the frame by turning it. Make sure that the screws
do not come out of their seats in the slotted holes.
• The frame mountings must be secure to with-
stand the weight of the hood and any stresses
caused by the occasional side thrust applied to
the device.
On completion, check that the base is stable,
even if the frame is subjected to bending.
• In all cases where the ceiling is not strong
enough at the suspension point, the installer
must provide strengthening using suitable
plates and backing pieces anchored to the
structurally sound parts.

15
INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD
Ducting Connection
Connect the ducting chosen to:
The diameter of the ducting spigot on the top of
the hood body item 1 is Ø150mm (6”).
When using Ø120mm ducting it will be necessary
to install the ducting adapter item 9 to the the
Dumper 10 (supplied) Ø150mm outlet on the top
of the hood body.
If the room where the cooker hood is to be used
contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central
heating boiler, then its ue must be of the room
sealed or balanced ue type.
If other types of ue or appliances are tted sure
that there is an adequate supply of air to the
room.
The cooker ducting (extraction mode) must never
be connected to central heating ues, radiators or
water heaters etc.
Recirculation
The cooker hood is supplied specied for use in the
recirculation mode, with the charcoal lter tted.
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is passed
through the charcoal lter to be puried and recirculated
into the kitchen through the grille outlets on either side
of the chimney.
Recirculation Connection
• Insert the Connector extensions 14.1 into the side of
the Connector 15.
• Insert the Connector 15 into the Support bracket 7.3
and x it with the screws.
• Fasten the Support bracket 7.3, xing it to the upper
part with the Screws.
• Make sure that the Connector extensions outlet 14.1
is in correspondence with the Chimney openings both
horizontally and vertically.
• Join the Connector 15 to the Hood canopy outlet using
a rigid or exible pipe ø¸150 mm, selection of which
is at the discretion of the installation techni-cian.
• Make sure that the Activated charcoal odour lter
has been tted.
