Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance meets statutory
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use could however lead to risk of ac-
cidents to the user and damage to
the appliance.
Read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Appropriate use of the cooker
hood
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.
Technical safety
Before connecting the cooker
hood to the mains supply make
sure that the voltage and frequency de-
tails given on the data plate corre-
spond with the on-site electricity sup-
ply. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system. (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions
4

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed, (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug)
– the mains fuse is withdrawn;
– or the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable). En-
sure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.(e.g.
danger of overheating)
The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision.
Young children should be super-
vised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Use of the appliance
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood - to avoid the
danger of fire do not flambé or grill
dishes. When switched on the cooker
hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat particles drawn into the cooker
hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up
by the suction of the cooker hood,
parts of which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Some washing-up liquids or dish-
washer detergents may cause the
metal filter to discolour. This discolour-
ation will in no way affect the function
or fitness for use.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance.
Pressurised steam could give rise to a
short circuit, or cause permanent dam-
age to the surface and to components,
for which the manufacturer of the
cooker hood cannot accept any respon-
sibility.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood (when the vapour guide is
completely retracted) must measure at
least:
–45 cm above electric hobs
–65 cm above gas hobs.
Australia / New Zealand:
60 cm for electric and gas hobs.
Only for U.K.: The distance of
65 cm between the cooker hood
and a gas hob is a minimum, which is
only permissible if the nominal heat
ratings given in the table below are not
exceeded:
Gas cooker maximum
nominal rating
one burner 2.7 kW
all burners 7.5 kW
oven 3.5 kW
Gas hob maximum
nominal rating
one burner 3.5 kW
all burners 10.3 kW
Gas hob with ceramic cover plate
The data given for maximum nominal (heat)
ratings do not aply to a gas hob with a ceramic
cover plate. In this case it is essential to refer to
the hob manufacturer’s data.
Safety regulations prohibit the fit-
ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no
longer used for other purposes, take
professional advice.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating ap-
pliance which depends on the air in the
room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired
heaters, continuous flow or other water
heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas
oven) special care must be taken, as
the action of the cooker hood extracts
air from the room, which these types of
heater need for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the extractor
and the heater are in operation simulta-
neously, an underpressure in the room
of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in-
lets which cannot be blocked, in win-
dows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other technical measures, such as
ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating ap-
pliance is switched off or vice-versa.
N.B.: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into ac-
count.
If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-
tent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi”instal-
ler (gas fitter) must be sought.
only for appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (EXT models) the con-
nection of the two units must be made
using the connection cable and the
plug connectors. Make sure the correct
combination of the two appliances has
been selected.
Disposal of an old machine /
appliance
Before discarding an old machine
or appliance render it useless.
Ensure that disconnection from the
mains supply is carried out by a com-
petent person and that the cable is
also removed from the appliance to
prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Depending on type of installation
either:
–switch it off at the wall socket and
remove the plug (do not pull on the
cable, only on the plug), or
–withdraw the fuse from the fused
spur connection unit (if accessible),
or
–withdraw the mains fuse, or
–remove the screw out fuse (in
countries where this is applicable).
Casing
The cooker hood casing may be
cleaned using hot water to which a little
mild detergent has been added.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Never use a cleaner which scours
or contains grit, soda, acid or
chloride. This would damage the
surface of the cooker hood.
A mild, non-abrasive stainless-steel
cleaner is suitable for cleaning the ap-
pliance.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance absorb solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen va-
pours, thus preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
At the latest, the grease filters should
be cleaned when the control lamp on
the grease filter switch comes on.
It is recommended that the grease fil-
ters are cleaned every 3 –4 weeks to
prevent grease clogging the filter.
An oversaturated grease filter is a
fire risk.
To release the filters, press the cat-
ches towards the middle of the filter.
Remove the filters.
Cleaning and care
15

Clean the grease filters
–by hand: with a scrubbing brush
in hot water with a mild detergent.
– in a dishwasher: place the
grease filters with the short side up-
right in the lower basket.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the grease filters in a dish-
washer may cause discolouration of
the filter surface.
This has no detrimental effect on fil-
ter performance.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface.
When removing the filters for clean-
ing, also clean off any residues of
grease or fat from the filter casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
When putting the grease filters back
in position, ensure that the catches
face towards the hob.
Should the grease be put back up-
side down:
Insert a small screwdriver into the
slits to disengage the filters.
Having reinserted the grease filters,
press the grease filter switch for ap-
prox. 4 seconds to re-set the opera-
ting hour counter to the time pre-
viously selected when the filter was
last used.
Cleaning and care
16

Changing a light bulb
Disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply by
–withdrawing the fuse from the
fused spur connection unit (if
accessible), or
–withdrawing the mains fuse, or
–removing the screw-out fuse, (in
countries where this is applicable).
When in use the halogen bulbs
become very hot. Do not touch im-
mediately as it remains hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not touch the bulb surface di-
rectly when changing the bulb as
this will damage it (fat particles ad-
here to the surface). Please follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
To change the halogen bulb first
remove the outer ring b.
Then detach the circlip ctaking
care that the glass ddoes not fall
out.
The halogen bulb eis fitted to a
push-in connection socket. To re-
place pull out the old bulb and fit a
new one.
Replace the glass dand press the
circlip ccarefully into the holder.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover as it has a filter de-
signed to cut out hamful rays.
Now replace the outer ring b.
