SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never let children operate the cooker hood. • The cooker hood is for domestic use only. • Clean the cooker hood according to the instruction manual. There is a risk of fire, if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions. • Please check that the power supply cord is not damaged.
A damaged power supply cord must be
replaced by qualified service personnel only. • Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the room when the cooker hood is used at the same time as another appliance that is ucing gas or another fuel type. • Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled. • Do not Flambé under the cooker hood. • This cooker hood is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the cooker hood by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliance. Electrical Shock Hazard Only plug this unit into a properly earthed outlet. If in doubt, seek advice from a suitably-qualified electrician.

Installation • Always adhere to the minimum safety distance between the top of the cooker / hob and the under-side of the cooker hood, namely:
•
650mm for electric hobs and cookers
•
750mm for gas hobs and cookers
• Always ensure the hood is fitted in accordance with the safety distances recommended by the hob manufacturer in their installation manuals. • It is prohibited to fit a cooker hood over a solid fuel stove. • All materials used in the fitment of this product must be non-flammable. • This appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use. • Professional advice should be sought if ducting this appliance into a chimney or vent flue which is no longer in use. • This appliance should not be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces. • Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled. • This appliance should be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with the relevant safety regulations. • Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the voltage and frequency details on the rating plate are consistent with the source of supply. • Always disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
This appliance has been produced in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Misuse of this product may lead to personal injury and / or damage to property. Please read these instructions carefully before using this appliance for the first time and keep them in a safe place for future reference.

Operation (Extraction Mode Only) • Care should be taken if operating the cooker hood at the same time, and in the same vicinity, as other heating appliances which depend on air for their operation. This may include such appliances as wood, oil, gas or coal-fired boilers and heaters, gas ovens, hobs and cookers, and continuous flow or other water heaters. • The cooker hood, when used in extraction mode, will draw air from neighbouring rooms in addition to the room in which it is fitted. • If there is insufficient air in these rooms, an under-pressure will occur and the heating appliance may be starved of oxygen and combustion may not occur. • In addition, harmful gases from the heating appliance may be drawn from the chimney / ducting back into the room with potentially fatal consequences. • To ensure safe operation, an under-pressure of 0.04mbar (4pa) is the maximum permissible in the room. • Adequate ventilation can be maintained by: o The use of air inlets by means of windows, doors and external wall vents o Ensuring none of the ventilation openings are blocked o Using either the cooker hood or heating appliance in isolation • It is advisable to use a window contact switch if relying on an open window as the sole source of ventilation. In this case, the cooker hood will not operate unless the window is opened sufficiently. These can be obtained from all good builders merchants. • Any doubts or concerns should be raised with a suitably qualified and competent person or, in the case of a gas appliance, with a Corgi registered installer.

Fitting and Replacing the Active Carbon Filter (recirculating air) If the cooker hood is used in re-circulation mode, an activated charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the aluminium grease filters. These charcoal filters (not supplied) are designed to absorb cooking odours and are located in the canopy above the grease filters.
The charcoal filters are not washable and should be replaced when they no longer absorb kitchen odours effectively. Under normal use, this would be approximately every 4 months, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with normal household waste.
Before fitting or replacing charcoal filters, the grease filters must first be removed (see previous section).
Active Carbon Filters (not provided) To fit the carbon filters, position them in place and rotate in direction B as shown below. For those models fitted with round carbon filters, the filters are removed by placing one hand on the filter and rotating it towards the front of the hood (A).
The carbon filter can now be removed. Ensure the
aluminium grease filter is replaced once complete.
Fig 2: removing and fitting carbon filter.

INSTALLATION Carefully mark the cooker hood position on the wall. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 650mm to 750mm above the hob.
2
MOUNTING THE COOKER HOOD Drill three 8mm holes to accommodate the bracket (fig 1, pg4). Screw and tighten the bracket onto the wall with screws & raw plugs provided. Lift the cooker hood into place and slot firmly into the grooves on the bracket.

3
FITTING THE EXHAUST DUCT
4 DUCT FITTING
Attach and secure the exhaust duct to the cooker hood vent.
Carefully slide down the chimney section over the duct.
Adjust the height by raising the top chimney section with the vent slots up inside the bottom chimney. Secure the top chimney section with mounting bracket and screws provided. 9
Aluminium Grease Filters The re-usable aluminium grease filter supplied with this appliance should be cleaned every 3 – 4 weeks to avoid a build-up of grease.
• To remove the grease filter, push the filter button until it is released. • To clean the filter, place it into a bowl of warm soapy water and soak for about 2 – 3 minutes. • Clean the mesh with a soft brush. • Do not apply too much pressure as the mesh is delicate and will damage easily. • Do not use a corrosive detergent. • Whilst the filters are removed, clean off any residual grease from the housing unit to avoid the risk of fire. • After cleaning, leave the filters to dry before replacing them on the appliance. • When replacing the grease filters, ensure that the locking mechanism is facing down.
Please note:
The aluminium filters may alter in colour after several washes. This is quite normal and is not a cause for customer concern.
Grease Filters can also be washed in the dishwasher but they will alter slightly in colour which will not affect their effectiveness.

MAINTENANCE Before cleaning, switch off the unit and unplug from the mains.
Regular Cleaning Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a household cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean any parts of the cooker hood.
Aluminium Grease Filter It is essential for the efficient working of the cooker hood to clean the grease filter regularly. We recommend that this should be done once a month. It is best to use a household detergent or clean the filter in the dishwasher. Please refer to more detailed instructions under ‘’Aluminium Grease Filters’’, pg. 10.
Active Carbon Filters Active Carbon Filters are only required if the hood is installed in recirculation mode, i.e. not vented to the outside.
The active carbon filter traps odours and must be replaced regularly depending on the
usage of the cooker hood.
We recommend at least once a year for low use and every 3 months for
frequent and heavy use. Please note that active carbon filters cannot be washed or cleaned otherwise they need to be replaced.
