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 aluminium lters
This cooker hood is supplied with aluminium lters.
Aluminium 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 aluminium 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 aluminium lter:
1. Press the button to open the cooker hood.
2. Grip the front panel on the downdraft at both sides and pull. The panel
will open to allow access to the lters.
3. Remove the aluminium lter (A).
4. Wash the lter in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher.
5. Replace the aluminium lter in the downdraft.
6. Firmly close the front panel on the downdraft.
7. Press the button to close the cooker hood.
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
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.
The charcoal lters (B) are tted behind the aluminium lters. To access the
charcoal lters, follow the instructions for removing the aluminium lters.
Additional charcoal lters can be obtained from www.johnlewis.com. The
model numbers are:
– for JLCHDD601, model number JLCHF04

JLCHDD601/JLCHDD901
60cm/90cm Cooker hood
Installation
Place the metal box containing electrical components at least 65 cm from
the gas hob or from the ducting point of the hood.
If you are using the hood with a gas hob, the minimum clearance from the
back of the hob to the downdraft must be at least 60 mm.
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. Air and fumes collected by the cooker hood are
cleaned by aluminium and charcoal lters and vented through a hole in
the top of the cabinet.
– exhaust extraction. 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.
Make sure that the air exhaust tube does not exceed 5 metres. Limit the
number of elbows (bends) in the pipe and avoid abrupt direction changes.
Before beginning installation, check that the cooker hood is not damaged
and that no parts are missing. If any parts are damaged or missing please
contact your local John Lewis branch.
Before making a hole, check the cabinet where the cooker hood is to be
installed. Make sure that there are no structural features or parts inside
the cabinet which could cause problems. Check the dimensions of the
downdraft and the cook top match the dimensions of the cabinet. Check
that the hood and the motor together are compatible with the cabinet they
are to be installed in.
The SEM12 external motor is intended to be installed under the cabinet
where the air outlet from the downdraft is located.
Installing the cooker hood
1. Remove the safety tab (A) from the downdraft.
2. Cut a hole in the cabinet to hold the cooker hood. The dimensions of
the hole are:
– 542mm x 100mm (JLCHDD601)
– 842mm x 100mm (JLCHDD901)
3. Insert the downdraft in the hole in the cabinet (B), but do not remove
the protection from the glass or panel.
4. Attach the xing brackets (C) inside the cabinet to hold the downdraft
securely in position. Make sure that there is a 2mm gap between the
base of the bracket and the bottom of the cabinet.
5. Put the SEM12 external motor under the downdraft air outlet (D).
Note: The installation kit contains all the joints and a rectangular pipe
which allows connection between the downdraft and the SEM12 external
motor. The rectangular pipe can be cut according to the height of the
cabinet. The length of the pipe allows installation with 960mm high cabinets.

6. Pay attention to the dimensions shown in gure E.
7. The size of hole to be drilled in the bottom of the cabinet varies
according to the distance of the bottom of the cabinet from the oor:
– If the bottom of the cabinet is 120mm above the oor (F), you only
need to drill a hole for the pipe (in this case, the hole would be 240mm
x 100mm).
– If the bottom of the cabinet is less than 120mm from the oor, you
must drill a hole large enough for the SEM12 external motor (G) to sit
in. If necessary, install the metal xing bracket (H).
8. In the:
– ltering version, connect the SEM12 air outlet to an opening in the
cabinet to let the exhaust air back into the kitchen.
– exhaust version, connect the SEM12 air outlet to an exhaust pipe long
enough to reach the outside (pipe not supplied).
9. If necessary, rotate the air outlet ange (I) to t the exhaust pipe.
10. Connect the 1.5 meter electrical cable to the downdraft in the specic
terminal which can be found inside the plastic black box (J).
Caution! Do not make other holes in the downdraft or SEM12 external
motor to avoid damaging internal electrical or mechanical components
responsible for the movement of the hood.
11. Connect the three connectors:
– 9 pole connector for the actuator control and safety control
– 4 pole connector for the neon lamp
– push-button connector.
12. Connect the cable from the SEM12 external motor to the terminal
board in the downdraft wiring box.
13. Power the cooker hood.
