Your Appliance

Operating Instructions

The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen; it will not extract steam. The appliance can be installed for recirculation or extraction of contaminated air.

Cooker Hood Controls

The hood functions are controlled by three slide switches located on the right underside of the hood, in front of the metal grease filter.

• Worktop Lighting: Switch marked with a lamp symbol. (L: 0 - Off, 1 - On)
• Fan Control: (M: Fan ON/OFF control: 0 - Off, 1 - On)
• Fan Speed Control: (V: 1 - Low, 2 - Normal, 3 - Boost)

To Operate

Select the required fan speed and light if needed.

Recirculation

The air is cleaned by passing through the filters and then returned to the kitchen.

Extraction

Contaminated air enters the hood, passes through the grease filter, and exits via the ducting to the atmosphere. For best performance, switch on the hood a few minutes before cooking and leave it running for approximately 15 minutes after finishing.

When used in ducting mode, 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 might 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.

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 filter absorbs grease and dust during cooking. It should be cleaned approximately once every month, or more often if the hood is used for more than 3 hours a day.

To Remove/Replace the Metal Grease Filters:

• Remove the metal grease filters one at a time by releasing the catches on the filters.

The metal grease filters should be washed by hand in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before replacing.

Charcoal Filters

In recirculation mode, charcoal filters absorb smells and unwanted odours. They cannot be cleaned and 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. Twist the charcoal filter anti-clockwise and remove.
3. To replace the charcoal filters, remove the metal grease filters.
4. Place one filter over the inlet grille at either end of the fan housing and twist into position.

⚠️ This appliance can be a fire hazard if the grease and charcoal filters are not cleaned and replaced as recommended.

Changing the Light Bulb

1. Loosen and remove the screws and brackets retaining the glass cover.
2. Lever out the brackets and slide the glass cover to the right.
3. When the cover has cleared the left hand lugs, lower the left hand edge while sliding the cover to the left.

If the light bulb fails to function, check that it is fully screwed into the holder. If bulb failure has occurred, replace it with a 220-240 Volt 40 W clear cylindrical shape bulb with a small E14 screw thread.

Replacement filters and light bulbs can be obtained from your local Service Force Centre.

Something Not Working (Troubleshooting)

If, after following these instructions carefully, your cooker hood fails to work properly, please carry out the following checks:

If after all these checks, the fault persists, contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and serial number. Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-guarantee service calls.

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made, as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.

• Rawl plugs.
• Fixing screws.
• 120-125mm ducting collar.

Clearance Height

The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking appliance at the stated clearance heights to ensure maximum output. If the appliance below has higher outputs, refer to its manufacturer's installation instructions.

• Minimum clearance height of 650mm (25.5") above a built-in electric hob.
• Minimum clearance height of 700mm (27.5") above a built-in gas hob.
• Minimum clearance height of 685mm (27") above a slot-in electric cooker.
• Minimum clearance height of 787mm (30.5") above a slot-in gas cooker.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a hob with clearance heights labeled A, B, C, D, and minimum distances (e.g., 450mm). A table lists these clearances:

When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets must not overhang the hob. The distance between the underside of the cabinet and the worktop must be 450mm. If the wall cabinet height is less than 450mm, a 50mm gap 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, to ensure correct vertical alignment.
2. Mark the centre positions Y for the wall bracket keyhole fixing screws (item 1, lower fixing bracket) at 100mm either side of the vertical line. Ensure the distance between the lowest point of the hood and the cooking appliance meets the clearance requirements.
3. Draw a horizontal line 15mm from the ceiling. Place one of the two upper brackets (item 2) over this line, ensure it is level, and mark the centres for the keyhole fixing screws 55mm either side of the vertical line.
4. Draw a horizontal line for the second upper brackets (item 2) at X, where X is the distance between the centre of the top and bottom fixing holes on the upper chimney section. Ensure this line is level.
5. Place the second bracket (item 2) over this line and mark the centres for the keyhole fixing screws 55mm either side of the vertical line.
6. Drill the holes for the wall bracket fixing screws using an 8mm drill and fix the wall brackets (items 1 and 2) using the provided rawl plugs and screws.

Note: If the hood is to be installed onto a hollow construction or plaster/partition board wall, special fixings (not supplied) will be required.

Fitting the Canopy Hood

1. Hook the canopy hood (C) into the wall fixing brackets, ensuring the security fixing screws align with the holes in the centre of the back panel.
2. Insert the two M4 x 25mm canopy adjustment screws into the wall brackets from the underside of the hood.
3. The canopy can be aligned and adjusted in height using these two adjustment screws (W).
4. Before fitting the chimney, make the electrical connection as described in the section titled "ELECTRICAL CONNECTION".
5. When the electrical connection has been made, test the worktop lighting and the three-speed fan.

Venting

The hood is more effective when used in extraction mode (ducted to the outside). Venting kits can be purchased from retailers and must be ducted to an outside vent of 150mm (5ins) or 125mm (5ins). Best performance is achieved using the largest diameter ducting available.

Where flexible ducting is fitted, the length should be no more than:

• 3 metres with one 90° bend
• 2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and airflow.

⚠️ The ducting used must be manufactured from fire-retardant material conforming to the relevant British Standard or DIN 4102-B1.

When the hood is ducted to the outside, the charcoal filters must be removed.

Recirculation

If using the hood for recirculation, ensure the charcoal filters are in position, following the instructions in the "To Remove/Replace the Charcoal Filters" section.

Fitting the Chimney Stack

The chimney stack consists of two sections.

1. Fit the upper section (S) first. Expand the chimney slightly to fit over the wall brackets, then secure the upper section using the 4 self-tapping screws provided.
2. Fit the lower chimney section (I) as above, ensuring the base of the chimney fits correctly into the recess around the top of the canopy.
3. When the chimney stack is installed, fit the two venting grilles into the apertures on either side of the lower chimney stack. The grilles are marked with two arrows and should be fitted with one arrow pointing upwards and the other towards the front.

Note: When the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode, ensure the grilles are properly secured to the recirculation spigot (R).
