Specifications of your GEH6017 & GEH9017 Cooker Hood

5
o Any installation work must be
carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
o The hood must be installed in
accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements
followed.
oIf the cooker 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
Dptmt.
oIt is dangerous to alter the
specifications or to modify this
product in any way. Do not tamper
with it or attempt to alter it in the
attempt to customise it further.
oWhen installing the hood,
ensure that the following
recommended distances are being
observed between the cooker top
and the bottom of the cooker hood:
Electric cookers:
600 mm
Gas cookers:
600 mm
* NOTE - DO NOT SET YOUR
COOKER HOOD LESS THAN
600MM ABOVE YOUR COOKER!
oWhen installed between
adjoining wall cabinets,
the cabinets must not
overhang the hob and
their undersides must be
at least 50 mm off from
the hob edges.
oThe edges of the cooker
hood are sharp –be
mindful of this as you
handle your appliance,
especially during
installation and cleaning.
DO NOT CLEAN IN
BEHIND THE GREASE
FILTERS!
oIf the room where the
cooker hood is to be used
contains a fuel burning
appliance such as a
central heating boiler
then its flue must be of
the sealed or balanced
flue type.
oIf other types of flue or
appliances are fitted,
ensure that there is an
adequate supply of air in
the room.
oWhen the hood is being
used in its extractor
function, ensure that the
ducting is fire retardant
and that there are no
bends sharper than 90
degrees as this will
reduce the efficiency of
the hood.
Important Safety Information: Please read this before installing & using.

o
oEnsure the ducting for
the extractor function
has the same diameter as
the outlet hole all the
way through.
o Keep young children from
using, playing with or
tampering with the
cooker hood. Older
children and infirm
persons should be
supervised if they are
using the cooker hood.
o Your cooker hood is for
domestic use only.

and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
o The manufacturer
refuses to accept any
responsibility for
damages arising to the
hood or its catching on
fire from failure to
observe fire safety advice
in these instructions.
o Remember that when in
extraction mode, your
cooker hood is removing
air from your room.
o Ensure that proper
ventilation measures are
being observed. Note
that it removes odours
from your room, not
steam.
oWarning - Always ensure
that the cooker hood has
been disconnected from
the power supply before
carrying out any work on
the hood, including
replacing light bulbs.
oIf the supply cord is
damaged it must be
replaced by the
manufacturer or service
agent in order to avoid
hazard.

To use your cooker hood:
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located centrally on the hood’s front
surface, on the underside of the unit.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains two rows of switches. These perform
separate functions. You will need to understand what both switches do
before you attempt to use your cooker hood.
* Note: The hood should be switched on at least as soon as you start
cooking. It is a good idea to have had it running for 5 minutes prior to
cooking and at least 15 minutes after you have finished cooking.
One switch controls the
FAN SPEED
Slide the switch C-2 from ‘0’ to
position ‘1’ for low speed.
Slide the switch C-2 from ‘1’ to
position ‘2’ for mid speed.
Slide the switch C-2 from ‘2’ to
position ‘3’ for high speed.
Switch off the fan by sliding the
switch ‘C-2’ from position ‘1’ to
‘0’.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE FAN
SPEED AT ANY TIME DURING
OPERATION.
The other is to control the light.
LIGHT ON/OFF switch –Slide the ‘C-1’ switch in figure above from ‘0’ to ‘1’.
Using your Cooker Hood:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, always ensure that you have
switched your cooker hood OFF at the omni-polar switch, set at
the wall from the cable:
Cleaning
Clean the external parts with
mild liquid detergents on a
damp cloth.
Never use abrasive powder,
corrosive solvents or brushes.
Never insert pointed objects
into the motor’s protective grid.
Only clean the control panel
and filter grill with a damp
cloth and delicate detergents.
Be sure to replace the
carbon filters at the
recommended intervals.
Residue build up could
cause a fire hazard.
Never take out the
grease filters and
attempt to clean the
space above where they
are set.
________________________________________________
Anti-Grease Grille
Your cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille
which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease
particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from
greasy residues.
The metal grille may become inflammable if it
becomes saturated with greasy residue.
To prevent this fire hazard, the grille should be
cleaned regularly (depending on use) every 10-15
days and at least once a month in hot water with
normal washing-up detergent. DO NOT USE A
DISHWASHER TO ACHIEVE THIS.
Cleaning your Cooker Hood:

10
First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.
You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.
Soak them for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water.
Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille
once it has dried.
Refit the grease grilles when dry.
Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.
a) Changing the LIGHT BULB
Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
Access the lamp area. Please note that you will have to take off the
grease grille at the back to access the lamp area.
Always replace burnt-out bulbs with olive-shaped 40 Watt bulbs.
After replacing the bulb, put the grease grille back.
_____________________________________________________________
b) Changing the CARBON FILTER
You will find that one filter will attach over the front of the fan motor (please
see figure at bottom of page).
Maintenance –Changing the Light Bulb and Carbon Filter
Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters
on: Please Read this before installing & using.

11
The active carbon filter must be replaced regularly, at least once every four
months, to allow normal operation when in recirculation mode.
Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch OFF
Changing the Carbon Filter –Note: carbon filters cannot be cleaned!
1) Remove the grease filter grilles.
2) Remove the old carbon filter by
twisting it anticlockwise
until it unlatches from the
side of the fan motor.
3) Place the new carbon filter (which
has two fixing tongues), turning
clockwise so that the tongues
latch onto the motor’s sides. (Fig.
3 - left).
4) Replace the anti-grease
metallic filter grilles.
NOTE
If your filter is different (i.e.
is the Bayonet Circular-
insert type,
Position the filter P in order
to cover the motor
protection grille, ensuring
that the ‘X’ on the filter lines
up with the ‘Y’ on the
conveyor. Then turn
clockwise. Reverse to
dismount
Before installation and usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the identification plate (found
inside your Cooker Hood) and all the data inside the appliance are exactly the
same as the voltage and frequency in your home.
NOTE: The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe all the
accident-prevention regulations in force which are necessary for normal use and regular
operation of the electric system.

oThe power cable must be
connected to the terminals
marked L (live) and N (neutral)
in the hood and fixed with a
cable clamp.
oThe cooker hood’s power cable
must be fitted upstream from the
electrical connection using an
omni-polar switch with a contact
distance of at least 3mm.

the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following U.K. code:
Blue= Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you can only find two wires in the cable (blue and brown), neither must be
connected to the Earth terminal!
As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your spur box, please proceed as follows:
__________________________________________________________
1) The BLUE WIRE
must be connected
to the terminal
marked ‘N’
(Neutral), or
coloured Black.
2) The BROWN
