METHODS OF EXTRACTION
The very best method of cleaning the kitchen of unwanted odours is by connecting the appliance to an
exhaust duct and venting to the outside atmosphere via the ceiling to an exterior wall. (Suitable ducting
kits may be purchased from the store where you bought your extractor.) You do not need a charcoal lter
when using the ducting mode.
Fig 1. Fig 2.
Ducting mode Recirculating mode
(No charcoal lter required) (Charcoal lters required)
REMEMBER: Before drilling or chiselling the ceiling or wall, check for pipes and power cables.
• Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with the minimum of bends to permit the
smoothest airow. (Maximum length 3 metres.)
• Ducted air must not be discharged into a ue, which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
supplied with energy other than electricity.
• Ensure the requirements of the local authorities are adhered to concerning the discharge of exhaust
air.
• Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the extractor is used in the same room as
appliances supplied with energy other than electricity.
• Never duct into a hot air ow such as a central heating duct
We strongly advise that all exterior outlets be tted with a non return valve or louvered slatting.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before you assume the worst, check this simple fault-nding guide to get to the root of the
problem:
Lamps fail to operate?
• A replacement is probably necessary, but rst check that the lamp is correctly tted into its holder.
Remember that the light bulbs are not covered by our guarantee. Remember to disconnect the
mains electricity supply before replacing the lamps. Do not touch the lamps with ngers - use a
suitable cloth.
Motor is on but fan does not seem to be as ecient as usual?
• Check the grease lter. If it has not been cleaned recently, it might be clogged with grease. If this
lter is relatively clean, check carbon lters (if tted). If they have not been replaced for more than
six months, remove and insert new ones. As time goes by, accumulated grease tends to stie the
carbon lters in just the same way as the grease lter, thereby reducing the eciency of both the
fan and the lter itself.
Works normally but cooking smells linger?
• If you’re using the unit in recirculating mode, change the charcoal lter. It may require
replacement.
Appliance does not work at all?
• Check your extractor is switched on at the mains. Next, check there is power to your home by
switching on adjacent lights etc.
Still not working? Call the service
• If, having consulted the above diagnostics and you are still unable to remedy the situation, please
call the service number on the rear cover of this manual.
