Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice of Lamona Ceiling 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.
By placing the marking on this product, we declare, on our own responsibility, compliance to all of
European safety, health and environmental requirements stated in the legislation for this product.

Before using the Ceiling Hood
Safety
Important!
Always switch off the electricity
supply at the mains during
installation, maintenance and
cleaning.
• This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved. Children shall not
play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not
be made by children with-out
supervision.
• Caution: The appliance and its
accessible parts can become hot
during operation. Children younger
than 8 years old should stay away
unless they are under permanent
supervision.
• The Ceiling Hood must be installed
in accordance with the instructions
and all measurements followed.
• All installation work must be
carried out by a competent person
or qualified electrician.
• Please dispose of the packing
material carefully. Children are
vulnerable to it.
• Pay attention to the sharp edges
inside the Ceiling Hood especially
during installation and cleaning.
• If the Ceiling Hood is damaged, do
not attempt to use.
• If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Ceiling Hood is for domestic
use only (see guarantee page for
definition).
• Use suitable and appropriate
fittings for mounting the hood.

Important Safety Information
• Do not leave frying pans
unattended during use because
overheated fats or oils might catch
fire.
• Never leave naked flames under
the Ceiling Hood.
• There is a fire risk if cleaning is not
carried out in accordance with the
instructions.
• Do not flambé under the Ceiling
Hood.
• Do not use the Ceiling Hood
without the Grease filters in place.
• The minimum distance between
the pan supports on the hob and
the lowest part of the Ceiling Hood.
(min 650mm for electric hobs, min
750mm for gas hobs, min 800mm
for coal or oil hobs)
• When in extraction mode, air in
the room is being removed by the
Ceiling Hood. Please make sure that
proper ventilation measures are
being observed. The Ceiling Hood
removes odours from room but not
steam.
• The air must not be discharged
into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
• Make sure the ducting has no
bends sharper than 90 degrees as
this will reduce the efficiency of the
Ceiling Hood (max duct length 3m,
150mm Ø).
• Always put lids on pots and pans
when cooking.
• Large quantities of vapour and
steam can be produced very
quickly. This steam may condense
onto the cold metallic surfaces of
the Ceiling Hood (This is not a fault
with either the hob or Ceiling Hood
if correctly installed.) The amount of
this condensation on any particular
surface will depend on many factors
including the general ventilation
within the kitchen, the type of food
being cooked and the duration.
Fire Safety
Ventilation
• There shall be adequate
ventilation of the room when the
Ceiling Hood is used at the same
time as appliances burning gas or
other fuels.

Page_7Exclusive to Howdens
Important Safety Information
Using lids on pans can help reduce
the amount of steam being released
and subsequent condensation.
Induction hobs offer a powerful,
more efficient heating process but
do not generate the higher levels of
ambient heat that would normally
help dissipate vapour and steam as
with older hob technology.
• The manufacturer refuses to
accept any responsibilty for
damage to or damages arising from
failure to observe these instructions.
• Ensure the ducting for Ceiling
Hood has the same diameter all the
way through and at the outlet.
• If the Ceiling 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.
• Do not use high level grills or BBQ
type products under this Ceiling
Hood.
• Do not operate the ceiling hood
with the access flaps in the open
position.
• Do not operate the ceiling hood
without the grease filters in place.
• In case of any damage, switch off
the product and disconnect it from
the mains. To do this, turn off the
fuse at the fuse box. Make sure that
fuse rating is compatible with the
product.
