Congratulations on purchasing a Cooker Hood!
To fully enjoy using your appliance long into the future,
please firstly familiarise yourself with its specifications,
safety advice and operational instructions included in this
manual. You will also need this manual to ensure that your
cooker hood has been installed properly.
Your cooker hood can work either as an extraction fan or as
an air recirculator. Whichever mode you choose, you will
need to bear in mind that the extractor calls for ducting (not
included) to be worked from the exhaust of your fan, while
the recirculation function will require the installation of
carbon filters.
Please see the installation section of this manual for details.

Specifications of your Cooker Hood

4
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 all
applicable regulations.
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.
o Dirty oil is an even greater
fire risk.
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.
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 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. 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 manufacturer or
service agent in order to

To use your cooker hood:
1) Make sure it has been properly installed.
2) Find the CONTROL PANEL. It is located at the front of the canopy, to
the right.
3) The CONTROL PANEL contains buttons as shown in the Figure below..
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.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR COOKER HOOD CAN BE USED EITHER
IN RECIRCULATION MODE OR IN EXTRACTION MODE. TO USE
THE HOOD IN RECIRCULATION MODE, YOU WILL NEED TO FIT
THE CARBON FILTERS (SEE PAGE 12)
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

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 flammable 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 a dishwasher or in
hot water with normal washing-up detergent.
First remove the grille by pulling down on it. Undo the
side catches.
Maintenance - Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters
on: Please Read this before installing & using.

10
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.
To clean the grease filter grilles in your dishwasher:
Place the grease filter grilles in the dishwasher. Select the most
powerful washing programme and highest temperature.
Repeat the process, if necessary.
Refit the grease grilles when dry.
PLEASE NOTE: DISCOLOURATION OF THE GREASE
FILTER CAN TAKE PLACE WHEN CLEANED IN A
DISHWASHER, ETC. Do not worry about the slight
discolouration of the grille –its performance won‟t
be affected.
Let the filter grilles dry thoroughly before refitting
them.

11
a) Changing the light bulb
Before changing the light bulb, ensure that the appliance is not live (i.e., ensure
that you have switched it off at the wall switch).
Remove the metal anti-grease filters (see Figure 2 below) and find the old bulb
located in the light fixture up inside the exposed canopy. Change the incandescent
bulb using only olive-shaped type with an E14 coupling, max. 20W.
* PLEASE NOTE - Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
Replace the metal anti-grease filters.
Maintenance –Changing the Light Bulb and Carbon Filter

12
b) Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter.
Your cooker hood uses a pair of CARBON FILTERS to purify the air for
the air recirculation function.
You will find that the filters will attach to both sides of the fan motor
(please see figures at bottom of page).
The active carbon filters must be replaced regularly, at least once every
three months, to allow normal operation.
Before starting to fit the carbon filter, turn the omni-polar switch off
at the wall.
Changing the Carbon Filters

13
1) Press the handle of the metal grease filter towards the rear part of the unit
until it is released from the front housing, and remove it by pressing
downwards (Fig. 2 - above).
2) Remove the old carbon filters by twisting them anticlockwise until they unlatch
from the sides of the motor.
3) Place the new carbon filters (which have two fixing tongues), turning clockwise
so that the tongues latch onto the motor‟s sides. (Fig. 3)
4) Reposition the anti-grease metallic filter grilles.
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.
