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.
Removing and replacing the lters
Remove the lters one at a time, press
against the metal actuator to release
the spring catch as illustrated. When
replacing, ensure that the handles face
outwards.
Charcoal Filter
In the recirculation mode the charcoal lter
absorbs smells and unwanted odours.
The charcoal lter cannot be cleaned or
regenerated, and must be replaced approximately
every 4 months, or more frequently if the hood is
subjected to heavy usage.
Replacing the charcoal lter
First remove the metal grease lters.
Remove the saturated activated charcoal
lter by releasing the xing hooks as
illustrated.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

8
Position the new charcoal lter in the

Fitting the Hood Body
Before starting to x the hood body,
tighten the two screws Vr located on the
top of the hood body.
Hook the hood body onto the two
4.2x44.4mm screws item 12a.
Fully tighten the screws item 12a.
Using a screw driver and spirit level,
adjust the screws item Vr until the hood
body is level.
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 Ø125mm (5”) or Ø150mm (6”).
The ducting used must be manufactured from
re 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.
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.
To assemble the recirculation duct, place the
recirculation outlet connection item 15 into the
support item 7.3.
Insert the extension ducts item 14.1 into either
side of the recirculation outlet item 15 ensuring
the connections are vertically and horizontally
aligned with the outlets in the chimney.
Connect the recirculation oulet item 15 to the
outlet on top of the hood body using either a piece
of Ø125mm or Ø150mm exible or rigid pipe.
Rigid pipe is strongly recommended and should
be used where possible as this will ensure the
best performance while lowering noise.

Extraction
The charcoal lter is not required in this mode
and should be removed.
Ducting
The ducting used must be Ø150mm or Ø120mm
in diameter.
If possible duct through the wall immediately
above the hood body.
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 performance of the hood.
It is recommenmded a maximum length of 3
metres, to be installed, to be reduced 1 metre for
each 90obend installed in the ducting run.
If the distance is greater than 3 metres the
efcency of the hood could be impaired.
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 ensure 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.
Electrical Connection and Working
Test
Before tting the chimney to the canopy make the
electrical connection as described in the section
titled “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION”.
When the electrical connection has been made,
test the three speed fan and worktop illumination.
