GENERAL INFORMATION
This cooker hood is suitable for
recirculation or extraction. The air may be
recirculated through the charcoal filler and
out through the ducts in the front of the
hood, (which are visible when the visor is
in the operating position) into the room or
extracted out through the rear exhaust
flange into ducting to the outside.
IMPORTANT
When installed the hood must be
positioned at least 65cm (25.5ins) above
the hotplate of a cooking appliance.
This hood should not be fitted above a
cooking appliance with a high level grill
without contacting the manufacturer of the
cooking appliance for specific instructions
since it is probable that the hood will
affect the performance of the grill.
DIMENSIONS
This hood is available in 60cm (23 5/8")
wide, by 45cm (17 3/4") high. The depth
is adjustable from 27cm (10 5/8") up to
36cm (14 1/8"), excluding the decor panel
thickness.
WARNING
If 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 room sealed or
balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliance are
fitted ensure that there is an adequate
supply of air to the room.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
This hood should be connected via a
suitable double pole switch or by a
13Amp (BS 1363) plug to the supply
within 1 metre (39 3/8").
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this cooker hood may not
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green and
yellow must be connected to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter
<E> or by the symbol ^ or coloured
Green or Green/yellow.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be
connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter <N> or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured Brown must
be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter <L> or

INSTALLATION
Wall Fitting
The hood may be fixed to any rigid
vertical surface. If it is necessary to fix the
unit to a hollow construction plaster or
partition board structure then it must be
sufficientlyreinforced to be quite rigid in
the area of the hood mountings.
Use the paper template provided on the
wall for bracket fixing screws. Check the
distances of the holes are correct with a
measure as stated on the template.
At this stage it is important to allow
15mm (1/2”) clear space above the hood
to enable it to be hooked onto the brackets
and for any subsequent removal for
cleaning or servicing.
When drilling the holes for the wall fixing
screws care must be taken to ensure that
they are quite level as there is only
minimal vertical adjustment of the fixing
brackets.
The brackets should be fixed with the
round end at the bottom.
Once the brackets are secured the hood
can be hooked on.
Access to the wall levelling screws is from
above the hood. These are located in the
two extension arms at either side of the
hood which fit over the wall brackets to
support the hood. Turn these screws until
the hood is positioned at right angles to
the wall cabinet carcase, then fit four
screws through the plastic counter sunk
plugs into the adjoining wall cabinet side
panels to fully secure the hood.
The hood should be secured to the
adjoining cabinets at each side of the hood
using the 4 x 12mm (1/2") round headed
screws provided. The screws holes are
located at each side of the casing, behind
the grille at the bottom of the guide.
Adjust the lower spacer panel at the rear
of the hood to lose off the gap.
Ducting Fitting
If the hood is to be ducted to the outside
the selector on the diffuser must be set in
Position 1. A charcoal filter is not required
when ducting.
The ducting used must be 100mm (4”)
diameter and where flexible ducting is
fitted it should not be turned through very
tight bends as this may impair the
performance of the hood.
Fitting The Decor Panel
To fit the decor panel on to the hood will
require the removal of the complete visor
assembly from the hood. To remove the
visor pull open the visor into the operating
position press downwards on the visor
release catch, located on the left hand side
of the casing behind the visor, to allow
the visor to be removed.
The dimensions of the decor panel to be
fitted should be 59,6cm (23 1/2") wide by
45cm (17 3/4”) high (minimum).
Use the paper template provided to mark
the holes on the reverse side of the decor
panel for fixing the screws. Ensure that the
template is aligned with the top edge of
the decor panel. Should a decor panel with
a measurement greater than 45cm (17
3/4") in height be fitted, failure to align
the top edge of the template with the top
edge of the decor panel will prevent the
visor opening when installed. Measure
before drilling to check that the distances
of the holes as stated on the template are
correct as the template could have altered
due to exposure to dampness after
manufacture.

INSTALLATION cont
To refit the visor, relocate the guides at
the top of the visor into the tracks at the
top front comers in the hood casing.
Lower the bottom edge of the visor until
the lower guides align with the lower
tracks, push in the visor until an audible
click is heard. The visor may now be
opened and closed in its normal function.
IMPORTANT
Should the decor panel not be fitted as
advised it could affect the opening of the
facia panel.

HOW TO USE
Operating Instructions
The cooker hood functions are controlled
by three slide switches, an automatic
microswitch and selector slide lever.
The three slide switches which are located
on the right hand side beneath the facia
panel control fan speed and work surface
illumination.
The switch marks with the fan symbol
and the 0-1 controls the power supply to
the fan. This should be used in
conjunction with the switch marked l-2>3
which controls the fan speed.
Position 1 should be selected when
simmering or when using only one pan.
Position 2 should be selected for normal
cooking, up to four pans.
Position 3 should be selected when frying
or cooking foods with strong odours.
The switch marked with the symbol inl¬
and 0-1 controls the power to the worktop
illumination.
The concealed microswitch acts as an
overide and will switch the hood off,
whatever selection is made with the slider
switches when the facia panel is closed.
When the panel is pulled open the hood
will resume working at its previous setting.
The changeover slide lever for selecting
recycling or exhaust mode is situated on
the diffuser behind the air inlet grille. To
open the grille press inwards on the two
slide catch fastners located in either side
of the lighting diffuser. The grille can be
lowered into an intermediate position, and
can be removed by moving the grille
through a 45 degree angle, away from the
hood. The inlet grille can be removed
while the door panel is in the operating
position. The charcoal filters should be
located onto the mounting in the centre of
the fan cover. In the recycling mode, air
passes through the grease filter and
charcoal and out through the ducts located
in the casing above the decor panel.
In the ducting mode, air passes through
the grease filter and out dirough the
ducting into the atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance it is
advisable to switch on the hood a few
minutes before commencing cooking and
leave it running for approximately 15
minutes are finishing.
Worktop Illumination
If the lamps fail to function at any time
first check they are fully screwed into the
holders. When changing the lamp, an
identical replacement must be fitted to
ensure safe working of the hood.
Replacement lamps are tulip shaped, clear
glass 240V 40W, small Edison E14 screw
thread.
