The extractor is designed to giveyouthe option to extract air by ducting tothe outside
and away (via an exteriorwall). orto re-circulate airthrough charcoalfiltersto minimize
odours, steam and condensation.
The choice
is yours to decide at installation, and both systems are explained in this
booklet.
We recommendthatyou readthisbookletfromcovertocoverbeforeattemptingtoinstall
or operatethe extractor.
-Installation
THIS INSTRUCTION MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO. FAILURE TO COMPLY
COULD RESULT IN OVERHEATING AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR APPLI-
ANCE.
When installing your extractorabove a heat source. i.e., any electrical or gas hob, grill,
cookeretc.,thefixing heightmust
NOT BE LESS THAN 65cm betweenthe hobandthe
bottom ofthe extractor.
Position the extractor and markthrough 65mm (Min)
onto thefixing wall via holes A.
Usingthe appropriate wall fi~ings, drili
the two marked positions and insert
screws.
Place the extractor into position via
these fixings.
Two furtherholes (8) are provided in therearoftheextractorforfixing. Whentheextrac-
toris
in thecorrect position, markthro~ugh these holes and drillthesurfaceto which the
extractor
is to be fitted. Use appropriate fixings for the type of wall. You may need to
purchase the correct fixings ifthe ones supplied are not adequate, if
in doubt, consult
an expert.
NOTE: Adaptors are provided to connect a 125mm vent hose to the outlet of the
extractor
and to the top vent ducting COf;,mector.

Dec.ratille Chimnel
Whether you are planning to duct externally or recirculate you will need a purpose de-
signed ducting kit which is available from where you purchased your extractor, in both
cases you will need to fix the ceiling bracket.
Once yourextractoris in position on the wall, the bracket needsto be positioned directly
above the extractor outlet on the ceiling
or otherappropriate surfa<::e. Use a spirit level
and a straight edge to ensure it is square to the extractor.

-llectriclIl Connection
Due tothe mains cable being situated inside the chimney ofthe extractor We strongly
recommend that a spuroutlet point isfitted within the chimney but controlled from a
separate switch situated outsidethis area. (See Electrical Connections).
Any cables connecting the switch to the outlet point must be protected from any heat
source or mechanical damageand it is preferred that it is sunk into the wall.

Thevery best method ofcleaning the kitchen of unwantedodours is byconnecting the
appliancetoan exhaustductandventingtotheoutsideatmosphereviaan exteriorwall.
(Suitable ducting kits may
be purchased from the store where you bought your
extractor). Ducting your extractor negates the need
for a charcoal filter. (Fig. 1).
FIG. 1
DUCTING MODE
(NO CHARCOAL FILTER REQUIRED)
REMEMBER: Before drilling
or chiselling the wall, checkforpipes and
powercables.
1: Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with the minimum of
bends
to permit the smoothest airflow. (Maximum length 3 metres).
2.. Ductedairmust notbedischarged intoa fluewhich is used forexhausting fumes
from appliances supplied with energy otherthan electricity.
3. Ensurethe requirements of the local authorities are adhered to concerning the·
discharge
of exhaust air.
4. Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the extractor is used
in the
same room as appliances supplied with energy otherthan electricity.
5. Never duct into a hot air flow such as a central heating duct.
We strongly advise that all exterioroutlets be fitted with a
non return
valve
or louvredslatting.

When there is no easy access to an outside wall, the extractorcan easily be adapted
toclean
air pollutedbycookingsmells, by usingacharcoalfilter whichcan be purchased
fromthestorewhereyouboughtyourextractor. Rememberthere-circulationmodecan
not
be used without charcoalfilters.
• The Charcoalliller
Filters has a limited life. We adviseyou to change it when there is a noticeable drop in
performance. The intervals between changing the filter wilrdepend entirely upon the
amount
of cooking you do, but on average theywillrast about 6 months.
Onceyouhave removedthe greasefilters, fittingthecharcoalfilteris easy. Theysimply
lockontothefan ateitherend byturning itin an anticlockwisedirection. Withthe filterin
place,
air is thoroughly cleaned before passing out of the unit via thetop outlet.
• The Grease liller Mal
The grease filter mat is of a metallic material and should be washed using a neutral
detergent. To gain access
tbthe charcoalfilterthe grease filters must be removed.
IMPORTANT: You should never attemptto use the extractor without the grease filter
since grease build-up
could preventthe motor working properly. If eitherfilter is not
changedregularly the risk
of fire will be increased. Alwaysswitch off the electricity
supply or pull out the plug beforechangingthe filters.
REMOVAL OF THE GREASE FIL TERS: This is carried outbypushing the respective
panel towards the.rear
of the extractor and downwards until it dis911gages from the
supports. Proceed in reverse when re-fitting
the filters. .
IMPORTANT: Before cleaningalways ensure that the extractoris switchedoff!

• Re/llacing The LightBulbs
Ensure that the power is switched off.
Remove the lamp lense, unscrew the faulty bulb and replace with
abulb of the same wattage.
Replacement bulbs can be purchased at the store from which you bought the appliance.
NOTE:
BULB REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR GUARANTEE.
• lor Your Safety
In orderto protect yourappliance and minimisethe risk offire, don'tbarbecue food directlyunder .
the extractor. Similarly,
do not prepare flame dishes immediatelyunderthe extractor. Ifyou use
a gas hob,
do not remove pots without first tu rning off the flame. Your extractor is designed
. to draw gases up
and away fram your hob. This means that exposed flames may behave
unpredictably in the vicinity ofthe appliance while it is switched on.
When frying take particular
caretopreventthe oilfromcatchingfire and neverleave unattended. Themotorused
in this hood
features asafety device (thermal cutout) that responds to temperature changes. For accidental
reasons or due to installation faults, this .device could engage and automatically shut off the
motor, thereby preventing serious damage to the equipment.
In such cases, after allowing the
motor
to cool down, the hood can be switched on again; the cause of the fault will nonetheless
haveto beremedied, ensuring installation hasbeencorrectlymadeandthatall instructions have
been complied with.
• Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, ensure your extractor is
disconnected from the power source.
GENERAL CLEANING:Thorough servicing guarantees correct and long lasting operation.
Wipe the external surfaces of the appliance regularly using warm water and a mild detergent,
never use products containing abrasives.
Particularcare must bepaid to the grease filtering panels which mustbeperiodically cleaned
in
relation to use (at least once every two months). . .
Remove the grease filters and wash them using neutral detergent.

Before you assume the worst,check this simple fault-finding guide to get to the root
of the problem:,
Light bulb doesn't
come
on
t
i
l Motoris

be
as efficientas
usual
Works normally
but cooking smells
linger
Controls fail to

Still not working? .
Call the service
agent.
A replacement is probably necessary, but check first that
the bulb is firmly screwed in to its holder. If the filament is
broken, remember that the light bulbs are not covered by
our guarantee. Remember fo disconnect power supply
before removing the bulb.
Check grease filter mat. If it hasn't been cleaned recently, it
might be clogged with grease. If filter mat is relatively
clean, check charcoal filter. If this hasn't been replaced for
morethan six months, remove and insert new one's. As .
time goes by, accumulated grease tends
to stifle the
charcoal filters in just the same
way as the grease filter
mat, thereby reducing the efficiency of both the fan and the
filteritself. .
If you're using the unit in re-circulation mode, change
charcoal filter. It is obvjously past its prime. '
Check plug, socket and fuses. If these are in order and
fault persists, it could be that an accumulation
of grease
has impaired the efficiency of the switch mechanism. Try
rapidly moving switch on and off several times in succes-
sion to clear grease deposit. If fault continues, call service
agent.
Check your extractor is switched on at the mains. Next,
check for an unexpected power strike by switching on
adjacent lights etc.
If, having consu.lted the above diagnostic chart you are still
,unable to remedy the situation, please call the Free-phone
service No. (Back cover).
