Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice of Lamona Conventional Hood.
The user manual will help you use your product quickly and safely.
• Please read this user manual before installing and using the hood.
• Always follow the safety instructions.
• Keep this user manual within easy reach for future reference.
• Please read any other documents supplied with the product.
Explanation of symbols
Throughout this user manual the following symbols are used:
Energy Efficiency
In order to optimise efficiency of the product and reduce environmental impact we recommend the following:
• Product is installed in ducted configuration, using maximum Ø of ducting advised in this manual,
ducting as straight and as short as possible.
• Any filters are cleaned/replaced when necessary to maintain good airflow and grease filter efficiency.
• Switch on the hood at the minimum speed required to clear unwanted cooking odours.
• Switch off lighting when not in use or not required.
Metal Surfaces of the Hood and Condensation
When cooking with pans using a large water content, large quantities of vapour and steam can be
produced very quickly. This steam may condense onto the cold metallic surfaces of the hood and even the
splash back area if tiled, glazed etc.
(This is not a fault with either the hob or hood if correctly installed.)
The amount of this condensation on any particular surface will depend on many factors including the
ambient temperature in the kitchen, the related ambient temperature of the metal surfaces, the general
ventilation within the kitchen, the type of food being cooked and the duration. Using lids on pans can help
reduce the amount of steam being released and subsequent condensation.
This appliance is marked according to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly you will help prevent
potiential negative consequences for the environment and human health. The symbol on this product
indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be handed over
to the applicable collection point for recycling or electrical and electronic equipment. Disposal must be
carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. For more detailed
information please contact your local council household waste site.

Care and Maintenance
Before cleaning or attempting any type of maintenance,
always make sure that the electricity supply is disconnected.
To avoid the possibility of fire, adhere strictly to all of the recommendations included in this booklet,
paying particular attention to the grease filters to ensure grease deposits do not build up.
The manufacturer declines all liability in cases where the instructions for the appropriate installation,
maintenance and use of the extractor hood are not observed.
If the power cable is cut or damaged in any way, disconnect the hood from the electricity supply and call
the service number on the rear cover of this booklet or a suitably qualified repairer.
Wipe the external surfaces of the hood regularly using warm water and a mild detergent. NEVER use
abrasive cleaners.
Your hood includes a grease filter which helps
to protect your kitchen & furniture from greasy
residues by filtering out grease particles.
• Over time, the grease may become a risk if
the greasy residue is allowed to build up.
• To prevent a hazard, the grease should
be replaced.
• Depending on use, this should be done
every 3-6 months.
• First remove filter cover by pushing the tabs
and lifting down.
• Replace the grease filter with LAM2099.
• Allow the grease filter to dry completely
before refitting.
• Reassemble in the reverse of the
removal method.
• The hood must never be operated without
the grease filter in position.

The Grease Filters

Page_13
Exclusive to Howdens
Care and Maintenance
If the hood is going to be used in recirculation mode when it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help
absorb odours caused by cooking.
Carbon filters have a limited life. We advise you to change them when there is a noticable drop in
peformance. The intervals between changing the filter will depend entirely upon the amount of cooking you
do, but on average they will last about 3-6 months.
• To gain access to the carbon filter, first of all open hood as descrobed for changing the grease filters.
• Remove the old filter and install new carbon filter (LAM2009) over the top of the grease filter (LAM2099).
• The carbon filters are not washable and cannot be recycled.
The Carbon Filters
Changing the filters
1. Squeeze the wiring and lift up.
2. Remove the old filter.
3. Lay a new grease filter then carbon filter on
the pan.
4. Re-secure the wires under the tabs.

LED Lamp
The lamps on this model are service fix only and replacement
should be carried out by an authorised service agent.
The extractor hood is fitted with a 2W LED lamp which will give you many years of reliable service. In the
event of a lamp failing please call the service number (page 22)
Only use replacement lamps of types:
• LED: DBS-2/30-H-120/33
• Rectangle LED lamp 2W, AC 110-240V
The lamps on this appliance should only be used during operation of the cooker hood. They should
not be left on permanently and used as a main lighting source. The hood is for domestic use only.

Exclusive to Howdens
Installation
The very best method of clearing the kitchen of unwanted odours is by connecting the appliance to an
exhaust duct and venting to the outside atmosphere via the ceiling or an exterior wall (suitable ducting
kits may be purchased from the depot where you bought the hood). You do not need carbon filters when
using the exterior ducting mode.
Never use the hood in areas where devices with
exhaust pipes connected to the outside are
already operating unless perfect ventilation can
be guaranteed.
• Connect the external ducting kit to the outlet
of the hood.
Charcoal filters are not required if the hood is
to be ducted out.
• Do not connect the ducting system of this
appliance to any existing ventilation system
which is being used for any other purpose.
• Do not install above a cooker with a high
level grill.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that
is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to
appliances that only discharge the air back
into the room).
Tips for ducting optimal air flow:
• Keep duct work short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or diameter of the duct.
• Keep ductwork taut to minimise pressure loss.
For recirculation mode, attach carbon filters to
the sides of the motor inside the hood.
(Part reference LAM2009).
Before attempting to
change or fit the carbon
filters ensure power to
the hood is switched off.
• Remove the filter panel and release
wire rods.
• Align the carbon filter sheet on top of the
grease filter sheet.
• Replace wire rods.
• Turn lever to recirculating position
(See page 10)
• Replace the filter panel before the power
supply is turned back on.
• Performance will be reduced when used in
recirculation mode, or if using long lengths
of ducting.

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. In addition
check whether there is an electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is mounted.
If the product is going to be used in Exterior Ducted Mode, then there should also be space to connect
a ducting hose to the outside.
• Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the cooker hood and cabinetry.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person.
• Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other materials, such as
packets of screws, guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future use.
• Protect any hob already installed below with a blanket or cardboard etc, to prevent possible damage.
• IMPORTANT: The cooker hood is ducted from the top.
• The maximum distance between the cooker hood and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres,
with one 90 degree bend. For each additional 90 degree bend, the maximum distance is reduced
by a metre.

Installing Your Cooker Hood Under a Cabinet
You will have to decide before installing your cooker hood
whether to use it in extraction mode or recirculation mode.
We suggest the easiest way of installing the hood is fastening the hood to the underside of the
wall unit before mounting the wall unit to the wall. This allows the easier marking of all fixing holes and
cutting of vent holes etc.
