Installation
•Always adhere to the minimum safety distance between the top of the cooker / hob and the
under-side of the cooker hood, namely:
•650mm for electric hobs and cookers

•Always ensure the hood is fitted in accordance with the safety distances recommended by the hob
manufacturer in their installation manuals.
•It is prohibited to fit a cooker hood over a solid fuel stove.
•All materials used in the fitment of this product must be non-flammable.
•This appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use.
•Professional advice should be sought if ducting this appliance into a chimney or vent flue which is no

Operation (Extraction Mode Only)
• Care should be taken if operating the cooker hood at the same time, and in the same vicinity, as other
heating appliances which depend on air for their operation. This may include such appliances as wood,
oil, gas or coal-fired boilers and heaters, gas ovens, hobs and cookers, and continuous flow or other
water heaters.
•The cooker hood, when used in extraction mode, will draw air from neighbouring rooms in addition to
the room in which it is fitted.
•If there is insufficient air in these rooms, an under-pressure will occur and the heating appliance may
be starved of oxygen and combustion may not occur.
•In addition, harmful gases from the heating appliance may be drawn from the chimney / ducting back
into the room with potentially fatal consequences.
•To ensure safe operation, an under-pressure of 0.04mbar (4pa) is the maximum permissible in the
room.
•Adequate ventilation can be maintained by:
oThe use of air inlets by means of windows, doors and external wall vents
oEnsuring none of the ventilation openings are blocked
oUsing either the cooker hood or heating appliance in isolation
•It is advisable to use a window contact switch if relying on an open window as the sole source of
ventilation. In this case, the cooker hood will not operate unless the window is opened sufficiently.
These can be obtained from all good builders merchants.
•Any doubts or concerns should be raised with a suitably qualified and competent person or, in the case
of a gas appliance, with a Corgi registered installer.

Fitting and Replacing the Active Carbon Filter (recirculating air)
If the cooker hood is used in re-circulation mode, an activated charcoal filter must be inserted in addition
to the aluminium grease filters. These charcoal filters (not supplied) are designed to absorb cooking
odours and are located in the canopy above the grease filters.
The charcoal filters are not washable and should be replaced when they no longer absorb kitchen odours
effectively. Under normal use, this would be approximately every 4 months, or more frequently for
particularly heavy usage. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with normal household waste.
Before fitting or replacing charcoal filters, the grease filters must first be removed (see previous section).
Active Carbon Filters (not provided)
To fit the carbon filters, position them in place and rotate in direction B as shown below. For those
models fitted with round carbon filters, the filters are removed by placing one hand on the filter and
rotating it towards the front of the hood (A). The carbon filter can now be removed. Ensure the
aluminium grease filter is replaced once complete.

Aluminium Grease Filters
The re-usable aluminium grease filter supplied with this appliance should be cleaned every 3 –4 weeks
to avoid a build-up of grease.
• To remove the grease filter, push the filter button until it is released.
•To clean the filter, place it into a bowl of warm soapy water and soak for about 2 –3 minutes.
•Clean the mesh with a soft brush.
•Do not apply too much pressure as the mesh is delicate and will damage easily.
•Do not use a corrosive detergent.
•Whilst the filters are removed, clean off any residual grease from the housing unit to avoid the risk of
fire.
•After cleaning, leave the filters to dry before replacing them on the appliance.
•When replacing the grease filters, ensure that the locking mechanism is facing down.
Please note: The aluminium filters may alter in colour after several washes. This is quite normal and
is not a cause for customer concern.
Grease Filters can also be washed in the dishwasher but they will alter slightly in colour
which will not affect their effectiveness.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch off the unit and unplug from the mains.
Regular Cleaning
Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a household cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads,
chemicals, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean any parts of the cooker hood.
Aluminium Grease Filter
It is essential for the efficient working of the cooker hood to clean the grease filter regularly. We
recommend that this should be done once a month. It is best to use a household detergent or clean
the filter in the dishwasher.
Please refer to more detailed instructions under ‘’Aluminium Grease Filters’’, pg. 10.
Active Carbon Filters
Active Carbon Filters are only required if the hood is installed in recirculation mode, i.e. not vented to
the outside. The active carbon filter traps odours and must be replaced regularly depending on the
usage of the cooker hood. We recommend at least once a year for low use and every 3 months for
frequent and heavy use.
Please note that active carbon filters cannot be washed or cleaned otherwise they need to be
replaced.
Replacing the bulb
1. Switch the unit off and unplug the appliance.
2. Remove the filter. Disconnect the lights, by squeezing the connector and pulling it away from
the unit. The whole bulb unit will then push out for the bulb to be replaced.
3. Remove the lamp cover by unscrewing the 2 screws.
4. Replace with the same type and rated bulb/lamp. Replace the screws and push the unit back
into place and reconnect the wire connection.
