Specifications of your GEH6019 Cooker Hood

3
oAny installation work must be
carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
oThe 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 Australian Standard AS
5601.
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:
9Electric cookers:
700 mm
9Gas cookers:
700 mm
9Coal/ oil cookers:
800 mm
* NOTE - DO NOT SET YOUR
COOKER HOOD LESS THAN
600 mm 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.

4
oEnsure the ducting for
the extractor function
has the same diameter as
the outlet hole all the
way through.
oKeep young children from

on a gas cooker.
oThe 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.
oRemember that when in
extraction mode, your
cooker hood is removing
air from your room.
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
replaced by the

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 front of the unit.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains buttons as shown in the Figure below.
These perform separate functions. You will need to understand
what these buttons 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.

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
ÂClean the external parts with
mild liquid detergents on a
damp cloth.
ÂNever use abrasive powder,
corrosive solvents or brushes.
ÂNever insert pointed objects
into the motor’s protective grid.
ÂOnly clean the control panel
and filter grill with a damp
cloth and delicate detergents.
ÂBe sure to replace the
carbon filters at the
recommended intervals.
Build up could cause a
fire hazard.
ÂNever take out the
grease filters and
attempt to clean the
space above where they
are set.
________________________________________________
Anti-Grease Grille
ÂYour cooker hood includes an anti-grease grille
which helps absorb vapour-suspended grease
particles to protect your kitchen & furniture from
greasy residues.
ÂThe metal grille may become inflammable if it
becomes saturated with greasy residue.
9To 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.

First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.
You can now clean the anti-grease filter grilles.
9Soak them for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening detergent then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water.
9Repeat the process if needed. Refit the grease grille
once it has dried.
9Refit the grease grilles when dry.
Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.
Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters

a) Changing the LIGHT BULB
9Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
9Access the lamp area. Please note that you will have to take off the
grease grille at the back to access the lamp area.
9Always replace burnt-out bulbs with olive-shaped 40 Watt bulbs.
9After 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).
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
