Take note of the following safety information:
Warning! To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not expose this cooker hood to rain or
moisture.
Warning! Always remove the mains plug
from the wall socket when not in use or
before any service operation.
Warning! There are no user serviceable
parts on this cooker hood. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
This symbol indicates that there are important
operating and maintenance instructions in the
literature accompanying this cooker hood.
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltages
constituting a risk of electric shock are present within
this cooker hood.
Important safety information
It is most important that this guide should be retained with the
cooker hood for future reference. Should you move house and
leave the appliance, always ensure that this guide is supplied
with the cooker hood in order that the new owner can get to
know the functionality and the relevant warnings.
These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.
You MUST read them carefully before installation or use. If you
are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John
Lewis branch from which you purchased the cooker hood.
To avoid accidents to property or people it is important to
follow the instructions given. Failure to do so removes any
liability from John Lewis.
Warnings
• Any installation work must be undertaken by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
• If the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance,
the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the
Gas Safety Codes of Practice, the Gas Safety (Installation
& Use) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the
Department of the Environment and, where applicable, the
Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations
issued by the Scottish Development Department.
• Do not install this cooker hood above a cooker with a high-
level grill.
• Keep all packaging well away from children. There is risk of
suffocation.
• If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains
a fuel burning appliance (such as a gas or oil fired central
heating boiler), the boiler’s flue must be a room sealed or
balanced flue type. Alternatively, you should make sure that
there is adequate air inlet into the room at all times so that
fumes from the boiler are not drawn back into the room by
the cooker hood.
• The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be
connected to an existing ventilation system which is being
used for any other purpose.
• Do not allow the power cord to be crushed or bent
excessively.
• Do not let the power cord touch or pass over the hob or
other hot surface.
• Do not hold the power cord or plug with wet hands.
• Never use a damaged power cord or plug, or a loose mains
socket.

Electrical information
Mains supply
Should the power supply cable need to be replaced, this
must be carried out by an approved service engineer. John
Lewis declines any liability should this safety measure not be
observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is
the same as that indicated on the cooker hood’s rating plate.
The cooker hood must be installed by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Warning! The appliance should not be
connected to the electrical supply by means
of an extension cable.
Earthing Instructions
If the symbol is not displayed on the cooker hood’s rating
plate, this is a class I electrical appliance and must be properly
earthed.
If the symbol is displayed on the cooker hood’s rating plate,
this is a class II electrical appliance and therefore no earthing
cable is required.
In either case, the plug must be easily accessible after the
installation of the cooker hood.
If the cooker hood is connected directly to the electricity
supply, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3mm
minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between
the power supply and the cooker hood, and must comply with
the load and current regulations.

Timer / Clean Air. When the cooker hood is
switched on, press this button to set a 15 minute
timer. The cooker hood will operate at the currently

useful for clearing cooking fumes and odour.
When the cooker hood is switched off press and
hold this button for 2 seconds to activate the clean
air function. The cooker hood will operate
automatically at speed 1 for 10 minutes every hour
until you press this button again.
Note: For regular cooking, we recommend using fan setting 1

a large amount of smoke or steam, we recommend using fan
setting 3 or intensive speed.
Display

indicates the following:
Fan Speed Setting. When the cooker hood is
switched on, the current fan speed is shown
as a solid number (1, 2 or 3). If intensive speed has
been selected, the number will flash.
Timer. If the timer has been activated, the decimal
place (spot) will flash.
Clean Air. If the clean air function has been activated,
the following is displayed:
A rotating indicator is shown when the motor is

Filters. If this indicator is:
Alternating between the fan speed and the letter
F- The anti-grease filters must be washed.
Alternating between the fan speed and the letter

Care, Cleaning and Servicing
Note: Switch off and unplug the cooker hood before carrying
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Care and Cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior casing using a cloth with water
and mild (neutral) detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or scouring pads when
cleaning the cooker hood as this may damage the stainless
steel finish.
Cleaning and Replacing Filters
This cooker hood is supplied with aluminium filters.
Aluminium Filters
Aluminium filters are designed to absorb grease and dust
during cooking. They should be removed and cleaned at least
once every two months, or more often if you regularly fry
food.
To clean the aluminium filters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the filter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Wash the filter in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher
and dry it.
4 Replace the filter in the cooker hood and press into
position.
5 Close the panel.
The filters may discolour after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean they have to be replaced.
Charcoal Filters (Not Supplied)
Charcoal filters are designed to absorb grease, dust and
unwanted odours during cooking. They cannot be washed or
re-used and they must be replaced at least every four months.
To replace the charcoal filters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the filter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Insert the replacement filter in the cooker hood and press
into position.
4 Close the panel.
Replacement filters should be bought from authorised dealers.

Activated Carbon Filters
To transform your cooker hood from an extraction hood into
a recirculating hood, ask your supplier for an activated carbon
filter.
To fit this filter:
1 Remove the anti-grease filters (see page 8).
2 Insert the circular filter into the centre of the fan grille and
turn it 90°until it is locked in position.
Replacing Lights
Your cooker hood is fitted with LEDs. They should only be
replaced by an authorised service engineer.
Servicing
This cooker hood should only be serviced by an authorised
service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the
cooker hood yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced
persons may cause injury or serious malfunction.

Preparation for installation
The cooker hood must be mounted so that the minimum
distance between the filters and the gas or electric hob is
45cm.
The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be
connected to an existing ventilation system which is being used
for any other purpose.
We recommend an air exhaust tube which is the same
diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a two-part air
exhaust tube is used, the upper part must be placed outside
the lower part.
If installing this cooker hood between adjoining wall cabinets,
the wall cabinets must not overhang the hob.
Before beginning installation, remove the filters (see page 8).
This will make the unit easier to handle during installation.
Installing the Cooker Hood
1 Mark the lower position of the cooker hood on the wall,
making sure it is not below the minimum distance from the
hob.
2 Place the fixing template against the wall, aligning the line at
the bottom of the template with the line drawn in step 1.
3 Drill four holes and place rawlplugs in each.
4 Insert the top two screws and and tighten, leaving at least
3mm protruding from the wall.
5 Lift the cooker hood up to the wall, hooking it on to the
two screws.
6 Tighten the screws to hold the cooker hood firmly against
the wall.
