three switches located to the right on the
underside of the hood immediately in front of the
metal grease filters.
Worktop Lighting
The switch (L) marked with the lamp symbol
operates the worktop lighting.
L 0 - OFF

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
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning 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.

7
Charcoal Filters
In the recirculation mode the charcoal filters
absorb smells and unwanted odours.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, we
recommend they should be replaced
approximately every three months or more often
if the hood is used for more than three hours per
day.
To Remove/Replace the
Charcoal Filters
1. First remove the metal grease filters.
2. Rotate the charcoal filter anti-clockwise
(B) and remove.
3. To replace the charcoal filters, remove
the metal grease filters.
4. Place the filter over the inlet grille at
either end of the fan housing and rotate
clockwise (A) into position.
This appliance can be a possible fire
hazard if the grease and charcoal filters
are not cleaned and replaced as
recommended.
Changing the Light Bulb
1. First remove the metal grease filters.
2. The light bulbs can be reached from
inside the canopy.
3. Rotate the light bulb anti-clockwise to
unscrew.
4. To replace the light bulb insert a
replacement into the holder then rotate
the bulb clockwise into position. Ensure
you take care not to overtighten the
bulb.
If the light bulb fails to function check that the
bulb is fully screwed into the holder. If bulb
failure has occurred then it should be replaced
with a 220-240 Volt 40W clear globe shaped
bulb with a small E14 screw thread.
Replacement filters and light bulbs can be
obtained from your local Service Force Centre.

D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm clearance
Hob
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 Specifications.
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.
Fitting the Wall Brackets
1. Draw a vertical line on the wall from the
centre of the cooking appliance up to the
ceiling, using a spirit level and marking pen.
This is to ensure the correct vertical
alignment of the appliance.
2. Drow a horizontal line trough the vertical at
190mm .Mark the centre positions for the
bracket fixing screw(4) at 107mm either side
of the vertical line.(screw not supplied)
Ensure that the distance between the
lowest point of the hood and the cooking
appliance beneath meet the clearance
requirements quoted above.
3 Draw a horizontal line through the vertical
at 270mm. Mark the centre positions for
the lower bracket fixing screws (1) at
110mm either side of the vertical line (screws
not supplied).
4. Draw a horizontal line through the vertical
at 45mm from the ceiling or from the
maximum height of the chimney. Mark the
centre positions for the upper bracket
fixing screws (2) at 80mm either of the
vertical line (screws not supplied).

13
4. Draw a horizontal line through the vertical line
at X. Xis a distance between the centre of the
top and bottom fixing holes on the upper
chimney stack. Mark the centre positions for
the middle bracket fixing screws (3) at 95mm
either of the vertical line (screws not supplied).
5. Drill the holes for the fixing screws using an
8mm masonary drill and fix the wall brackets
using the plastic rawl plugs and 44mm screws
(not supplied). Ensure the lower bracket (1)
is fitted with the lugs at the bottom.
Note: If the hood is to be installed onto a hollow
construction or plaster or partition board
wall then special fixing screws will be
required (not supplied).
Fitting the Canopy Hood
1. Hook the canopy (C), onto the wall fixing
brackets (4)ensuring the security fixing screws
align with the holes in the centre of the back
panel of the cooker hood as illustrated.
2. Fit the two regulation screws of 4M x 25
(supplied) into the keyholes of the wall
brackets.
3. the canopy can be aligned or adjusted in
height by using the two adjustement screws.

Venting
The hood is more effective when used in the
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).
Venting kits may be purchased through your
retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an
outside vent of 125mm (5”).
The 120-125mm collar should be fitted onto the
ducting spigot to suit UK diameter ducting, and
held in position by a jubilee clip (not supplied)
used to secure the flexible hose.
Where flexible duting is fitted the length should be
no more than:
3 metres with one 90º bend, or
2metres with two 90º bends.
Bends of more than 90º will reduce the efficency
of the hood and reduce airflow.
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 filters must be removed.
Recirculation
If you are using the hood for recirculation, ensure
the charcoal filters are in position following the
instructions contained in the section “To Remove/
Replace the Charcoal Filters”.
Note: When the hood is used in the
recirculation mode ensure that the
plate (T) has been fixed into the lower
chimney section. If not, fit the plate as
illustrated opposite using two of the
self tapping screws provided in the
fixing kit.

15
Fitting the Chimney Stack
The chimney stack consists of two sections.
1. Fit the upper section (S) first. Expand the
chimney slightly to allow it to be fitted over
the brackets (1) and (2), and then secure
the chimney stack to bracket (2) using two
self tapping screws provided in the fitting
kit.
2. Fit the lower chimney section (I) by
expanding the chimney slightly to allow it
to be fitted over the brackets (1), and the
upper chimney section and bracket (3).
3. Ensure the bottom edge of the chimney
stack is fitted correctly into the recess
around the top of the canopy, and secured
using the two self tapping screws as
illustrated in the close-up above.
Note: The upper (S) and lower (I) chimney stack
sections are fixed to the middle wall
bracket (3) by the natural force of the
metal, and the over lapping of the
sections by vigorously pushing against the
centre of the chimney.
