cleaning.
Do not clean behind the grease lter!
• If the room where the cooker hood is to be
used contains a fuel burning appliance such
asacentralheatingboilerthenitsuemust

Before cleaning or attempting any type of maintenance, always make sure that the electricity
supply is disconnected.
To avoid the possibility of re, adhere strictly to all of the recommendations included in this booklet,
paying particular attention to the grease lters 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 extractor from the electricity supply and call
theservicenumberontherearcoverofthisbookletorasuitablyqualiedrepairer.
General Cleaning
Wipe the external surfaces of the appliance regularly using warm water and a mild detergent. NEVER use
abrasive cleaners.
Care and maintenance
The Grease Filters
Yourextractorincludesagreaselterwhichhelps
to protect your kitchen & furniture from greasy
residuesbylteringoutgreaseparticles.
• Overtime,thegreaseltermaybecomeare
risk if the greasy residue is allowed to build up.
• Topreventarehazard,thegreaselter
should be cleaned.
• Depending on use, this should be done every
10-15daysorforlightusageonceamonth.
• Toremovethegreaselter,slidecatch
inwards,thenlowerthegreaseittedto
release it from the extractor.
• Donotwashthegreaselterinadishwasher.
• Cleanthegreaselterusinghotwaterand
normalwashing-updetergent
• Allowthegreaseltertodrycompletelybefore
retting.
• The extractor must never be operated without
thegreaselterinposition.
The Carbon Filters
If the appliance is going to be used in recirculation
modethenitisnecessarytotcarbonlters.This
will help to absorb odours caused by cooking.
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

Methods of Extraction
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extractor.)Youdonotneedcharcoallterswhen
using the external ducting mode.
Extraction Via Ducting
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 extractor.
Charcoalltersarenotrequirediftheextractor
is to be ducted out.
Extraction Via Recirculation
For extraction via recirculation, attach charcoal
lterstothesidesofthemotorinsidethehood.
(PartreferenceHJA2906)
Before attempting to change or t the
charcoal lters ensure power to the extractor is
switched off.
• Removethegreaselter
• Alignthecarbonltersoverthepinslocated
on either side of the fan motor.
• Turn the carbon gently, until you feel them

Installing your cooker hood
You will have to decide before installing your cooker hood whether to use it in extraction mode or
recirculation mode.
1. We recommend that at least two people install
this hood.
2. Cut a rectangular aperture in the canopy unit
475mm wide X 275mm 14mm from the front
edge
3. If the extractor is to be ducted out, ensure that
it is possible to connect the ducting hose.
4. If the extractor is to be used in recirculation
mode, ensure that the canopy allows the
recirculating air to be circulated from the top
of the extractor and canopy.
5. Removethegreaselter‘A’asdescribed
Previously.
6. Remove the four screws securing the extractor
frame‘B’totheextractorbody.
7. If the extractor is to be ducted out, connect the
extractor to the vent hose.
8. With the help of an assistant introduce the
extractor into the opening cut into the canopy
housing, taking care not to trap the ducting
hose or the mains cable, and secure with the
wood screws provided.
9. Replace the extractor frame and the four
screws removed earlier from the extractor.
Connecting to external ducting
• Connect the coupling to the top or the rear of the cooker hood, and then connect a 125 mm ducting
hose to the coupling (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance).
• Youmayndananti-draftapincludedwiththexturesandttingsforthecookerhood.
• The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a discharge outlet that is suitable for
cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm².
• The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres, with one
90 degree bend.
