3.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTEDAND PERMANENT
INSTALLATION.
The power cable must be connected to the terminals marked L (live) and N (neutral) in the hood
and fixed with a cable clamp.
The cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the electrical connection, using an
omni-polar switch with a contact distance of at least 3mm.
3.2.G INSTALLATION
Check that the product purchased is of suitable size for the chosen installation area.
Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the cooker hood.

Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other materials,
such as packets of screws, guarantee etc. These should be removed and kept for future use.
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position, to provide
easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help to protect these surfaces
from damage and debris.
Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all cooker hood parts and fittings on it.
In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after
the hood is mounted. If you are going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also
ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside.
Raw plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. However a
qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of
wall and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must strong enough to take the weight of the hood.

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is designed to be surface
mounted only.

4.4.FITTING THE CARBON FILTER
If the appliance is being used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will
help to absorb unpleasant odors caused by cooking.

IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE
CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE
DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
1. Remove the grease filters.
2. Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of
the motor.
3. Turn the carbon filter anticlockwise, until you feel it click into place.
Repeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to place a carbon filter at either end of
the motor.
Refit the grease filters.
The carbon filters should be replaced every three months of if they show signs of damage.
4.5.EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
To get optimum performance form your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside wall, this may not be possible.
The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for
purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?

All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker hood in
recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
