IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Please
make sure that you read this instruction booklet
before attempting to install or use the appliance. If
you are unsure of any of the information contained in
this booklet, please contact the Retailer where you
purchased your unit from.
IMPORTANT: Any 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 your
local Gas Safety regulations.
oIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this
product. Do not tamper with it or attempt to modify the
appliance in any way.
oWhen installing the hood, ensure that the following
recommended distances are observed between the highest point
on the hob top (including the burners) and the bottom of the
cooker hood:
Electric cookers: 700 mm
Gas cookers: 700 mm
Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
oWhen installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
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!
5

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.
oKeep 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.
oYour cooker hood is for domestic use only.
oPlease dispose of the packing material carefully – children are
especially vulnerable to it.
6
oDirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
oAlways put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
oThe manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the hood or it catching on fire, from a failure
to observe the fire safety advice contained in this instruction
booklet.
oRemember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.

oNote 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.
oDo not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any
existing ventilation system which is being used for any other
purpose.
oDo not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
oNever leave frying pans unattended during use as
overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
oThe cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. naked flame from a
gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on
them.
oDo not attempt to use the cooker hood if it is damaged in any
way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filters fitted or
if the filters are excessively greasy!
oNever flambé cook under this cooker hood.
oThe lights on this appliance should only be used during operation
of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and
used as a lighting source.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE TO
OBSERVE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN HERE, FOR
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUITABLE
USE OF THE HOOD.

Using your cooker hood
Before first use
IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED
BEFORE THE COOKER HOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
oYou should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner on ALL of
the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood, before it is used
for the first time.
oThis will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect
the stainless steel surfaces.
To use your cooker hood
oMake sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in these installation
instructions.
oFind the control panel, which is located at the front right of the
canopy.
oThere are two sliders on the control panel, which perform
separate functions.
1) Light control. The light can be used even when the motor is
OFF.
0 = Light OFF
1 = Light ON
2) Motor speed control.
= Low speed
= Medium speed
= High speed

IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD SWITCH ON
YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO
COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN
COOKING. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR
TEN MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING.
Cleaning 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
oClean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.
oNever use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
oNever insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
oOnly clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
oIf you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filters at the recommended interval
(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease
could cause a fire hazard.
oNever attempt to clean the area above the grease filter.
oIMPORTANT: You should regularly use a good quality
stainless steel cleaner to maintain the shine and finish on
the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood.
oThis will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect
the stainless steel surfaces and keep them in good condition for
the life of the product.
11

The grease filter
oYour cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
oThe metallic filter may become flammable if it becomes
saturated with greasy residue.
oTo prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be cleaned regularly.
Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15 days or at
least once a month, using hot water and normal washing-up
detergent.
oDO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTER IN A DISHWASHER.
Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filter
oFirst remove the grease
filters by pulling down on the
handle and pulling them away
from the cooker hood.
oSoak the grease filter in hot water and washing up liquid for
about an hour.
oRinse it off thoroughly with hot water.
12
oRepeat the process if required.

oRefit the grease filter once it
has dried.
oIMPORTANT: Let the
grease filter dry
thoroughly before
refitting it in the cooker
hood.
Changing a light bulb
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE
A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU
HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
13
oRemove the grease filter (as
described on page 12).
oPrior to touching the light bulbs
ensure that they have cooled
down.
oFind the bulb that requires
replacement, you will find it
located in the light fixture which
is inside the exposed section of
the canopy.
oPress gently on the underside of the bulb that needs to be
replaced and twist anticlockwise to release.

oInsert a new identical 40W (max) bulb.
oIMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
oIf the lights still do not work, make sure that the bulbs are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance. oRefit the grease filter.
Fitting the carbon filter
If the appliance is going to be used in recirculation mode then it is
necessary to a fit a carbon filter. This will help to absorb unpleasant
odours caused by cooking.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR
REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE
COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
oYou will find that one filter will attach over the front of the fan
motor. The active carbon filter must be replaced at least every
four months depending on usage to allow normal operation when
in recirculation mode.

they show signs of damage.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation read all the
instructions and make sure that the voltage (V)
and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating
plate are exactly the same as the voltage and
frequency in your home. The rating plate can be
found behind the grease filters.
