IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety is of the utmost importance. Please make
sure that you read this instruction booklet before
attempting to install or use the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
oThe extractor must be installed in accordance with the
installation instructions and all measurements followed.
oIf the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance then
the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas
Safety Codes of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440 & BS.6891 (Natural
Gas) and BS.5482 (LP Gas) 1994, the Gas Safety (Installation &
Use) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the
Department of the Environment, the Building Standards
(Scotland) (Consolidated) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.
oIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this
product. Do not tamper with it or attempt to modify the
appliance in any way.
oWhen installing the hood, ensure that the following distances are
observed between the worktop and the bottom of the cooker
hood:
Recommended: 750 mm
Minimum: 700 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR EXTRACTOR
LESS THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR WORKTOP.
oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
oThe edges of the extractor are sharp –be mindful of this as you
handle your appliance, especially during installation and
cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!

5
oIf the room where the extractor is to be used contains a fuel
burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue
must be of the sealed or balanced flue type.
oIf other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is
an adequate supply of air in the room.
oWhen the extractor is being used in its extractor function, ensure
that the ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the
hood.
oEnsure the ducting for the extractor function has the same
diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
oKeep young children from using, playing with
or tampering with the cooker hood. Older
children and infirm persons should be
supervised if they are using the cooker hood.
oYour extractor is for domestic use only.
oPlease dispose of the packing material carefully –children are
especially vulnerable to it.
oDirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
oAlways put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
oThe manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the extractor or it catching on fire, from a
failure to observe the fire safety advice contained in this
instruction booklet.
oRemember that when in extraction mode, your extractor is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.

oNote: Your extractor is designed to remove cooking
odours from the room and not steam.
oWarning - Always ensure that the extractor
has been disconnected from the power
supply before carrying out any work,
including replacing light bulbs.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any
existing ventilation system which is being used for any other
purpose.
oDo not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
oNever leave frying pans unattended during use
as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.

of the extractor. They should not be left on permanently and
used as a lighting source.

the cooking device underneath it, i.e. a naked flame from a gas
burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on them.
oDo not attempt to use the extractor if it is damaged in any way.
Never attempt to use it without the grease filters fitted or if the
filters are excessively greasy!
oNever flambé cook under this extractor.

Cleaning your extractor
IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED YOUR
EXTRACTOR OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR SWITCH,
SET AT THE WALL FROM THE CABLE.
Cleaning
oClean the external parts of your extractor with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.
oNever use abrasives, corrosive solvents or brushes.
oNever insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
oOnly clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
oIf you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended intervals
(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease
could cause a fire hazard.
oNever attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
The Grease Filters
oYour extractor is fitted with grease filters, which help to absorb
grease particles and protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
oThese metallic filters may become inflammable if you allow them
to get saturated with this greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filters should be cleaned
regularly. Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15
days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal
washing-up detergent.
oDO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
