PRODUCT INFORMATION
Keep this book in a handy place for reference; it contains important details on the safe and proper
use of your appliance. Should you sell the extractor please remember to pass the instruction book
on to the new owner.
The extractor is designed to give you the option to extract air by ducting to the outside and away (via
an exterior wall), or to re-circulate through charcoal lters to minimise odours, steam and condensation.
The choice is yours to decide at installation, and both systems are explained in the booklet. We recommend
that you read this booklet thoroughly before attempting to install or operate the extractor.
The light on this appliance should only be used during operation of the cooker hood. It should not be left
on permanently and used as a lighting source.
PARTS IDENTIFICATION
On opening your box you will nd the extractor hood, a two-piece telescopic decorative chimney and a
bag of wall xings and screws, wall xing bracket, a ducting connector, and a wall xing template drawing.

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.

technical data for fuse rating).
We strongly recommend the appliance is connected by a qualied electrician who is a member of the
N.I.C.E.I.C. or Corgi who will comply with the I.E.E and any local regulations.
NOTE: The terminology DOUBLE POLE -/+ means that both the live and neutral supplies are switched and
disconnected at the same time.
The terminations labelled SUPPLY are for the connection for the internal house wiring and the
terminations labelled LOAD are for the connection for the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:-
Blue..........Neutral
Brown......Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, proceed as follows;

D) Selects motor speed 2. E) Selects motor speed 3.
WARNING: Never have a naked ame in direct contact with the grease lters or within the
extractor hood.
THE GREASE FILTERS
The grease lter is of a metallic material and should be
washed using a neutral detergent or in a dishwasher.
Removal of grease lters:
1 Press latch towards side of extractor
2 Lower lter to remove.
Fig 10.
THE CARBON FILTERS
Carbon lters have a limited life. We advise you to
change them when there is a noticeable drop in
performance. The intervals between changing the
lter will depend entirely upon the amount of cooking
you do, but on average they will last about 6 months.
To gain access to the carbon lters rst of all, remove
the grease lters as above. Remove the old lters and
reposition new charcoal lters (HJA2900 - pack of 2).
