To Operate
Select the required fan speed and light if required.
Recirculation
In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood through the grease filters. The air is
cleaned by passing through the charcoal filters
before being passed back into the kitchen through
the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.
Extraction
In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease filters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after finishing.
When used in the ducting mode the charcoal
filters are not required.
Never do flambé cooking under this cooker
hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended during use,
as over-heated fats and oils can catch fire.
Do not leave naked flames under the cooker
hood.
Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered
with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.

6
Before carrying out any maintenance or clea-
ning isolate the cooker hood from the mains
supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean, as a build
up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm
soapy water using a mild detergent.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Metal Grease Filters
The grease filters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside,
and should be cleaned approximately once every
month or more often if the hood is used for more
than 3 hours a day.
Remove the metal grease filters
one at a time by:
Releasing the catches on the filters, the
filters can be removed.
The metal grease filters should be washed, by
hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher. Allow
to dry completely before replacing.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Clearance Height
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking
appliance at the clearance heights stated, providing the
maximum output of the appliance beneath does not
exceed the maximums quoted in the Technical Speci-
fications.
If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood
exceeds the maximum outputs quoted, please refer to
the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions.
A clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”) is required when
installed above a built-in electric hob, or 700mm (27 1/2
”) when installed above a built-in gas hob.
A clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required when
installed above a slot-in electric cooker, or 787mm
(30 1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas cooker.
When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the wall
cabinets must not overhang the hob and the distance
between the underside of the cabinet and the worktop
must be 450mm. If the height of the wall cabinet is less
than 450mm, a gap of 50mm must be maintained either
side of the hob.
This cooker hood must not be installed above a
cooking appliance with a high level grill.
The hood can be installed above these heights but
for optimum performance it should be installed at the
distances quoted for the appropriate heat source.
This appliance can be used in either extraction mode
(ducting) or recycling mode (filtering).
The hood is supplied suitable for recirculation with the
charcoal filters fitted.
When used in the extraction mode (ducting) the charcoal
filters are not required and must be removed and
destroyed.
INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

13
Fitting the Wall Brackets
• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the
ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area
in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob for
installation without the back panel, or at height H
(H=height of the visible part of the panel) for instal-
lation with the back panel.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2
mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the centre
(notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the
bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm
below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney
section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the
vertical line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the
bracket.
• Place bracket 7.1 as shown 95 mm from the verti-
cal reference line and 210 mm above the horizontal
reference line.
• Mark the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Repeat this operation on the other side.
REAR PANEL (OPTIONAL)
The Rear Panel must be fitted before fixing the hood body
and, if it is to be fixed at both top and bottom, must be
fitted at the correct height prior to installing the bases.
As this operation is rather complex, it should be carried
out either by the kitchen installer or a qualified person
who knows the final dimensions of the units.
For fixing at the top only, proceed as follows:
• Rest the back panel on the base, inserting the lower
plate between the upper surface and the wall, centring
it on the vertical reference line.
• Mark the centres of the two holes in the upper plate.
• Drill ø 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
• Insert the wall plugs (not supplied) in the holes.
• Fix the brackets using the screws (not supplied).
• Fix the back panel (where present) using the screws
(not supplied).
Note: If the hood is to be installed onto a hollow con-
struction or plaster or partition board wall then special
fixing screws will be required (not supplied).
Fitting the Canopy Hood
• Screw the two screws item 12d supplied onto the
brackets 7.1.
• Hook the hood body onto the bracket 7.1, centring
it around the vertical line.
• Use the adjusting screws item 12d underneath the
hood to level the hood body

Extraction (Ducted)
The cooker hood is more effective when installed in the
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your retailer
or DIY store or using the enclosed form, and must be
evacuated through an outside vent of ø125 (5ins) or
ø150mm (6ins).
The ducting used must be manufactured from fire
retardent material conforming to the relevant British
Standard or DIN 4102-B1.
When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside the
charcoal filter must be removed.
Fitting the Ducting
• Fit the ø150mm (6ins) ducting to the spigot on
top of the hood body as illustrated.
• When using ø125mm (5ins) ducting fit item 9
and 10 on to the spigot on the top of the hood
body as illustrated.
• For the best performance use the shortest
possible run of ducting and we recommend the
use of rigid pipe in preference to flexible hose
as this will improve the flow of air while reducing
turbulence, which causes causes noise and a
loss of performance.
• 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 be of
the room sealed or balanced flue type.
• If other types of flue or appliances are fitted
ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to
the room.
• The cooker ducting when fitted in the
evacuation mode must never be connected to
central heating flues, radiators or water heaters.
Recirculation Mode
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in the
recirculation mode, with the charcoal filter fitted.
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is passed
through the charcoal filter to be purified and recirculated
into the kitchen through the grille outlets on either side
of the chimney.
• Push fit the air outlet connector item 15 onto onto
the air outlet.
• Ensure the activated charcoal filter has been fitted.
