Description of the functions
The cooker hood works:
. . . by air extraction
The air is drawn in, cleaned by the
grease filter and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap.
This flap is closed when the fan is
switched off. No exchange of room air
and outside air can take place. When
the cooker hood is switched on the non-
return flap opens for the cooking smells
to be blown directly outside.
. . . with an external fan
The EX models are designed to be con-
nected to an external fan located out-
side the room.
The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by a control cable and is
operated by the control panel on the
cooker hood.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use could, however lead to risk of
accidents to the user and damage
to the appliance.
Before using this appliance for the
first time read the operating instruc-
tions carefully. They contain import-
ant information on safety, use and
maintenance of the appliance. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the appliance.
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.
Appropriate use
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.
echnical 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, otherwise the appliance could be
damaged. If in doubt consult a quali-
fied 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 dan-
gerous and the manufacturer will not
be held responsible.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the mains supply
when:
–it is switched off at the fused spur
connection, or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn
Ensure current is not supplied 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).
Warning and Safety instructions

Use of the appliance
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls. Super-
vise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire do not flambéor grill over
an open flame. When switched on the
cooker hood could draw flames into the
filters. 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. Never
leave an open grill unattended when
grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ig-
nite 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.
Clean or change the filter regularly.
An over-greasy filter is a fire ha-
zard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
–55 cm above electric cookers/hobs
–65 cm above gas cookers/hobs
–65 cm above an Open grill.
For other manufacturer’s cooking ap-
pliances maintain the safety distance
as recommended in their Installation
and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted be-
neath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the higher dis-
tance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fit-
ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the
Spare Parts department or from buil-
ders’merchants.
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
8

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 must be sought.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any dam-
age which might be caused by cock-
roaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (EX models) the connection
of the two units must be made using
the connection cable and the plug con-
nectors. Make sure the correct combi-
nation of the two appliances has been
selected.
Separate fitting instructions are sup-
plied with the external fan.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance switch off and disconnect
it from the power supply. Cut off the
cable directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse. This should be done
by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.

Operation
Main switch
When the main switch is set to “I”the
cooker hood is ready for operation.
When the cooker hood is switched off
using the main switch, it will retain the
most recent setting when next switched
on.
Switching on
–Press the On/Off touch control.
The indicator lamp for this touch control
lights up and at the same time the
motor switches on. The motor runs at
power level “lI”.
Selecting the power level
Depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered, there are four power le-
vels available. For normal cooking a
low to medium level is usually suffi-
cient. For frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma the highest level marked
IS (Intensive Setting) is recommended.
–Use the power level touch control to
select the power level required.
–Touch control += higher setting.
Touch control – = lower setting.
The indicator lamps show which power
level has been chosen.
Run-on option
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, the cooker hood can be set to
continue running.
The fan motor will then switch off auto-
matically after a further 5 or 15 minutes.
–Press the run-on option touch control.
Press once = 5 minutes run-on time
Press twice = 15 minutes run-on time
Press three times = fan is switched off
The relevant indicator lamp glows to
confirm the time selected.
To deactivate the run-on option time,
press the run-on option touch control
until both indicator lamps go out.
Operation

Switching off
–Use the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan off.
Switching the lighting on or off
The lighting for illuminating the hob can
be switched on or off independently of
the fan.
–Press the lighting touch control.
Operation
11

Filter operating hours counter
An indicator lamp shows when the
grease filter needs to be cleaned. The
operating hours counter for the grease
filter is set at the factory for a certain
number of hours but these can be
changed if required.
After this set time has elapsed, the
grease filter touch control indicator
lamp glows. The grease filter must then
be cleaned.
After the grease filter has been cleaned
and put back in place, the filter opera-
ting hours counter must be re-set.
–To do this press the grease filter
touch control and hold for about 4
seconds.
The indicator lamp will go out.
Reading the filter operating
hours counter
To check the percentage of the time
set already used:
–Use the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan on.
–Press the grease filter touch control.
One or several of the indicator lamps
above the power level touch control
will flash.
The number of flashing lamps indicates
the percentage of operating time set al-
ready used up.
1 lamp = 25%
2 lamps = 50%
3 lamps = 75%
4 lamps = 100%
The number of operating hours used re-
mains in memory, even when the ap-
pliance is switched off or there is a
power cut.
Operation
12

Altering the filter operating
hours counter
The operating hours counter for the
grease filter is set to 30 hours. This
time can be lengthened or shortened.
You can choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50
hours.
You can set the operating hours
counter to suit the type of cooking you
do.
Select a short time if you roast or fry a
lot.
If you use very little fat for cooking, se-
lect a longer time.
If, however, you only cook occasionally
we recommend that you select a short
time because grease which has built
up gradually over a long period of time
will harden on the grease filters and
make cleaning more difficult.
–Use the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan off.
–Press the run-on option touch control
and the grease filter touch control at
the same time.
The indicator lamp for the grease filter
touch control and one of the lamps
above the power level touch control will
flash.
The power level touch control lamps
show the time which has been set:
1st lamp from left = 20 hours
2nd lamp from left = 30 hours
3rd lamp from left = 40 hours
4th lamp from left = 50 hours
–Use the power level touch control to
select the desired time.
–Confirm the procedure by pressing
the grease filter touch control.
If the procedure is not confirmed
within 4 minutes of programming
the steps, the cooker hood will auto-
matically revert to the “old”data.
Operation
13

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the fused spur
connection or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Housing
Lacquered surfaces can be cleaned
using hot water to which a little mild
washing-up liquid has been added.
Dry with a soft cloth.
For stainless steel surfaces a mild non-
abrasive proprietary stainless steel
cleaner is suitable.
Never use cleaners which scour or
contain chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
Grease filters
Re-usable metal grease filters are fitted
which remove solid particles (oil, dust,
etc.) from the kitchen vapours, prevent-
ing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat, (ap-
prox. 3-4 weeks on average, but
sooner if necessary). Always clean the
filters immediately if the lamp for the
grease filter touch control comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire ha-
zard.
–To remove the grease filters pull the
quick-release catches.
–Carefully remove the filters in a down-
wards direction.
–Clean the filters
–by hand: with a nylon brush in a
mild solution of warm water and
washing up liquid.
–in a dishwasher: place the filter
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Cleaning and care
14

Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters. However, this will not affect
the functioning of the grease filters
in any way.
–After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before put-
ting them back in place.
–When removing the filters for clean-
ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous-
ing to prevent the risk of these catch-
ing fire.
–After putting the grease filters back
in place, press the grease filter
touch control for approx. 4 seconds
to re-set the operating hours
counter.
Cleaning and care
15

Changing a halogen light lamp
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the fused spur
connection or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
When in use the halogen lamps
become very hot. Do not touch im-
mediately as they remain hot for
some time after being switched off.
You must not touch the surface of a
halogen lamp when changing it as
this will damage it. Please follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
–To change the halogen lamp first
remove the outer ring b.
–Then detach the circlip ctaking
care that the cover ddoes not fall
out.
–The halogen lamp eis fitted to a
push-in connection socket. To re-
place, pull out the old lamp and fit a
new one.
–Replace the cover dand press the
circlip ccarefully into the holder.
–Now replace the outer ring b.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover din place as it has a fil-
ter designed to cut out harmful rays.

Installation
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of a cooker hood over solid fuel
stoves.
Ensure the ceiling is strong enough
to support the cooker hood.
The minimum safe distance (S) be-
tween the top of the cooker/hob and
the bottom of the cooker hood
should be at least:
–550 mm above electric cookers/hobs
–650 mm above gas cookers/hobs
–650 mm above an open grill.
See “Warning and Safety instruc-
tions”for further notes on safe in-
stallation.
A distance of 650 mm above electric
cookers/hobs may be preferrable to
give more working space.
Installation
–Draw a line on the ceiling centrally
above the hob as illustrated and
then draw another line parallel to it at
a distance of 200 mm to use as a
guide.
–Make a hole in the ceiling directly
above the centre point of the hob (ø
190 mm) for the ventilation ducting.
–Position the ceiling plate and align
with the guide line.
Mark the position of the 4 holes bfor
fixing the ceiling plate in position and
then mark the position for the mains
cable c.
If the cooker hood is to be con-
nected to an external fan, the posi-
tion for the connecting cable dalso
needs to be marked.
–Feed the mains connection cable
and ø150 mm ventilation ducting
through the ceiling.
If site conditions are not suitable for ø
150 mm ventilation ducting then ø125
mm ventilation ducting can be used, in
which case a suitable reducing collar is
needed which can be purchased from
your supplier or from the Spare Parts
Dept., (see “Installation –Extraction”
for further details).
Installation
19

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm or flat ducting were
to be used the noise level of the cooker
hood would increase and extraction
would be less efficient.
–If the cooker hood is to be con-
nected to an external fan, first make
the required hole din the ceiling. It
must be 65 x 30 mm in order to feed
the six pole connecting plug
through. Then feed the connecting
cable to the external fan.
If required the extension cable sup-
plied with the external fan should be
used.
–Drill four ø10 mm holes in the ceil-
ing, and plug with S10 plugs.
The fixings supplied are for use in
concrete ceilings. For other types of
ceiling alternative suitable fixings
will be required.
–Attach the ventilation ducting to the
exhaust stub on the ceiling plate and
secure using the hose clip.
–Insert the two spring retainers from
below into the slots provided in the
ceiling plate.
