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:
700 mm
Gas cookers:
700mm
Coal/ oil cookers:
800 mm
* NOTE - 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 & must
hang 50mm or more
away from the side of the
hob surfaces.
oThe edges of the cooker
hood are sharp –be
mindful of this as you
handle your appliance,
especially during

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.

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.

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.
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.
Cleaning your Cooker Hood:

8
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.
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.
Maintenance -Cleaning the Anti-grease Filters
on: Please Read this before installing & using.

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 so that it‟s in the „0‟ position).
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 halogen bulb using
only halogen spares with a G4 coupling, max. 20W.
Maintenance –Changing the Light Bulb and Carbon Filter

10
* PLEASE NOTE - Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
Replace the metal anti-grease filters.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter.
Your Cooker Hood uses CARBON FILTERS to purify the air
for the air recirculation function.
You will find two filters that 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
to zero (0).
Changing the Carbon Filters
Installing / Changing the Carbon Filter

11
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 - left).
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.

for cooking vapours with a cross-
section of at least 150 cm².
PLEASE NOTE: If there is no
discharge outlet and the hood is to
be fitted to an outside wall of the
building, make a hole in the wall
that is large enough to fit a wind
and rain-proof shutter with a cross
section of at least 150 cm² and
connect this to the outlet union of
the unit by means of a pipe.
Extraction / Air Purifier Modes of Operation
Please note: For the extraction function, you will
need to connect a 125 mm diameter outlet chimney
to the union „N‟ in Fig. 2. This pipe is not provided
with your cooker hood. See figure on left.
