OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The chimney hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will
not extract steam. The appliance can be
installed to recirculate or extract
contaminated air.
COOKER HOOD CONTROLS
The chimney hood functions are controlled
by four push buttons located centrally on
the front of the canopy.
BUTTON L- Turns the worktop lighting
On and Off.
YOUR APPLIANCE
BUTTON V1 - Turns the fan On and Off at
the low speed setting. This is
an ideal speed when cooking
for long periods as the
continuous flow of air is
particularly quiet.
BUTTON V2 - Second speed, suitable for
most normal operating
conditions. This speed gives
an excellent ratio between
treated air when the hood is
recirculated and the level of
noise.
BUTTON V3 - Third speed, suitable for
removing strong odours when
frying or simmering for long
periods.

TO OPERATE
Select the required fan speed and light if
required.
To obtain the best performance when cooking
it is advisable to switch the chimney hood on
for a few minutes before you start cooking
and leave it running for about 15 minutes after
finishing.
RECIRCULATION
In the recirculation mode contaminated air
enters the chimney hood through the grease
filter cassettes. The air is cleaned as it passes
through the (optional) charcoal filter and is
passed out through grilles in either side of the
chimney stack into the kitchen.
EXTRACTION
In the extraction mode contaminated air
enters the chimney hood through the grease
filter cassettes and is passed out through
ducting into the atmosphere.
When used in the ducting mode
the charcoal filter is not required.
Never do flambé cooking under
this chimney hood.
When using a gas hob under this
chimney hood never leave the
burners uncovered while the
hood is in use or when the pans
have been removed.
The grease filters and the
charcoal filter should be cleaned
and replaced as recommended or
more frequently if the hood is
used consistently over 4 hours
per day.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while
extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease
filter cassettes and the charcoal filter when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
Before carrying out any mainte-
nance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood
from the mains supply.
METAL GREASE FILTERS
The grease filters absorb grease and dust
during cooking to help keep the chimney hood
clean inside, and should be cleaned every
month with normal usage or more frequently
if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours
per day.
Remove the metal grease filter
cassettes one at a time, by pressing the
release catch towards the rear of the hood
as illustrated opposite. When replacing the
filters ensure that the handle faces forwards.
The metal grease filters can be washed in a
dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent
or liquid soap.
CHARCOAL FILTER
In the recirculation mode the activated
charcoal filter absorbs smells and unwanted
odours.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or
regenerated and must be replaced every four
months, or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently over 4 hours per day.
To replace the charcoal filter, first
remove the metal grease filters and press
against the plastic retaining clips to remove
the charcoal filter as illustrated opposite.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when removing the charcoal filter as the filter
will be saturated in grease. Put the filter into
a polythene bag or container so that the
grease and dirt cannot spill onto clothing of
furnishing.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE A
POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE GREASE
FILTERS ARE NOT CLEANED AND THE

DUCTING
The hood is more effective when used in the
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).
Whenused inthe extractionmode ensurethe
ducting spigot has been correctly fitted as
illustrated.
The ducting used must be ∅∅
∅∅
∅125
(5ins) or ∅∅
∅∅
∅150mm (6ins), flexible or
rigid and must be manufactured
from fire retardant material,
produced to BS.476 or DIN.4102-
B1. The choice should be made by
the installer. However, we
recommendflexible ducting should
only be used as an accessory as
rigid ducting will provide better
performance while reducing noise
levels.
The ducting flange Dshould be sleeved over
the spigot Awhen using 125mm (5ins)
ducting as the European ducting spigot is
∅120mm.
