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

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.
• This is a class I electrical appliance and must therefore be
correctly earthed.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
The filters may discolour after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean they have to be replaced.
To clean the aluminium filters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the filter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Remove the filter from the holder (C).
4 Wash the filter in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher
and dry it.
5 Replace the filter in the holder and replace it in the cooker
hood by pressing it into position.
6 Close the panel.
Charcoal Filters (Not Supplied)
Charcoal filters are designed to absorb grease, dust and
unwanted odours during cooking.
Non-regenerable charcoal filters must be replaced at least
every four months.
Unlike traditional charcoal filters, regenerable charcoal filters
can be washed and re-used approximately 12-15 times before
they have to be replaced. They should be washed at least
once every 2-3 months.
To clean the charcoal filters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the filter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Remove the filter from the holder (C).
4 Either replace the filter (if non-regenerable), or (if
regenerable) wash the filter in warm, soapy water or in a
dishwasher at the highest dishwasher temperature.
5 Dry the filter in the oven at 100°C for 10-15 minutes to
re-activate it.
6 Insert the reactivated filter in the cooker hood and press
into position.
7 Replace the brackets in the housing.
8 Close the panel.
Replacement filters should be bought from authorised dealers.

Replacing Lights

Preparation for installation
The cooker hood must be mounted so that the minimum
distance between the filters and the gas or electric hob is
65cm.
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 Drill holes (A) 235mm apart to allow you to fix the cooker
hood to the wall.
2 Fix the cooker hood to the wall and align it horizontally.
3 Adjust the width of the support bracket for the upper flue
and insert screws to attach it to the wall.
4 Connect the flange (C) to the air exhaust hole.
