Warning! To prevent re 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 qualied service personnel.
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.
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 qualied 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.
– The minimum clearance between the top of the cooker and the bottom
of the cooker hood is 65cm.
– 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 red central heating boiler), the
boiler’s ue must be a room sealed or balanced ue 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.
– Disconnect power from the cooker hood before cleaning it or
performing any maintenance.

– Do not leave frying pans unattended during use, as overheated fats and
oils may catch re.
– Do not do ambé cooking under this cooker hood.
– Do not leave naked ames under the cooker hood.

Care and cleaning
Note: Switch off and unplug the cooker hood before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
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 nish.
Cleaning and replacing bafe lters
This cooker hood is supplied with bafe lters.
Bafe lters are designed to absorb grease and dust during cooking. They
should be removed and cleaned once every two months, or more often if
you regularly fry food.
If all the indicators (see page 6) light up when the cooker hood is switched
off, this indicates that the bafe lters require cleaning. Once the lters have
been cleaned, with the cooker hood switched off hold down the 10 Minute
Timer button until the indicator lights go out.
To clean the bafe lter:
1. Remove the bafe lter (A) by turning the handle towards the rear of
the cooker hood and pulling the lter downwards.
2. Wash the lter in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
3. Replace the bafe lter in the cooker hood by pushing the lter into the
cooker hood and turning the handle forwards until it locks in position.
The lters may discolour after a few washes. This is normal and does not
mean that they have to be replaced.
Cleaning and replacing charcoal lters
Note: This cooker hood is not supplied with charcoal lters. Charcoal lters
can be obtained from www.johnlewis.com. The model numbers are:
– for JLCHI5201, model number JLCHF01
– for JLCHI8501, model number JLCHF02
Charcoal lters are designed to absorb grease, dust and unwanted odours
during cooking. They are only required when the cooker hood is used for
recirculating (i.e. when it is not ducted out).
If all the indicators (see page 6) light up when the cooker hood is switched
off, this indicates that the charcoal lters require cleaning. Once the lters
have been replaced, with the cooker hood switched off hold down the 10
Minute Timer button until the indicator lights go out.
Non-regenerable charcoal lters must be replaced at least every six months.
To replace the charcoal lters:
1. Remove the bafe lter (A) by turning the handle towards the rear of
the cooker hood and pulling the lter downwards.
2. Pull the tab (B) to release the charcoal lter and remove it.
3. Insert the new charcoal lter and push it rmly into position.

52cm/85cm Cooker hood
Installation
The cooker hood must be mounted so that the minimum distance between
the lters 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.
The exhaust for the cooker hood can be set up as either:
– ltering/recirculation (A). Air and fumes collected by the cooker hood
are cleaned by bafe and charcoal lters and vented through a hole in
the top of the cabinet.
– exhaust extraction (B). Air and fumes collected by the cooker hood are
vented to the outside air through an evauation duct in the wall or ceiling
of the room. Charcoal lters are not required for this set up.
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 oustide 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 lters (see page 7). This will make
the unit easier to handle during installation.
Installing the cooker hood
1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet (C) to hold the cooker hood.
The dimensions of the hole must be:
– for JLCHI5201, 501 mm x 265 mm
– for JLCHI8501, 835 mm x 265 mm
2. Prepare the power supply (see page 5).
3. Prepare the hole for the exhaust (see above) in the top of the cabinet
or the wall or ceiling of the room.
4. Adjust the side-springs using appropriate screws (D) according to the
thickness of the board where the cooker hood will be attached.
5. Insert the cooker hood into the hole in the cabinet until the side-springs
click.
6. Insert the screws in the cooker hood (E) to fasten it in position.
7. Insert the lters (see page 7).
