the location where the cabinet/canopy is to
be fitted.
If the hood can only be fixed to a hollow
construction plaster or partition board
structure, then the wall must be sufficiently
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the
mounting brackets.
To avoid the risk of accidents when fitting the
canopy and chimney to the wall or ceiling
please read and follow the installation
instructions.
THERMAL CUT-OUT:
The fan motor of this appliance incorporates a
thermal cut-out device which will operate if
the hood is installed below the minimum
recommended heights listed above, or if the
motor becomes overheated. If the cut-out
device is activated, switch off the fan motor
and allow the hood to cool.
The cut-out device will reset itself when the
fan motor has cooled significantly.
For ease of installation proceed as follows:
1. Fix the wall brackets.
2. Fix the canopy hood.
3. Connect the hood to the mains supply
ensuring that the canopy is functioning
correctly.
4. Select the type of installation, ie. ducting or
recirculation.
5. Fix the chimney stack.
NOTE: This hood has been designed and
approved for installation over an electric hob
with a maximum input of 7kW or a gas hob
with a maximum input of 10kW when fitted in
accordance with the heights recommended
above.
Your Cooker Hood can be installed either
for recirculation back to the room or
extraction through an outside wall.
NOTE: The hood is more efficient in the
exhaust mode, therefore, this position

being used. When the room is being
heated, if the recycle position is selected
heat will not be wasted.
IMPORTANT: The exhaust air must not be
expelled through a smoke or waste-gas
chimney which is in use or through a shaft
used for ventilating rooms or into the
cavity of a cavity wall or into a cupboard
above the cooker hood.
If the room contains, a flued fuel burning
appliance, such as a gas or oil fired central
heating boiler which is not of the ‘Balanced
Flue’type, you should make sure that there is
adequate air inlet into the room at all times,
so that fumes from the boiler are not drawn
back into the room by the Cooker Hood.

ATTENTION: Should the lower chimney
section subsequently be removed, the two
securing lugs in the top canopy must be
released.
Once the chimney stack has been installed, fit
the two venting grilles into the apertures
located on either side of the upper chimney
stack. The grilles are marked with two arrows
and should be fitted with one arrow pointing
upwards and the other towards the front.
When used in the recirculation mode, ensure
the grilles are properly secured to the

Caring for your Cooker Hood
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the
filters or light bulb, always ensure that the
electricity supply to the Cooker Hood is
switched ‘OFF’.
Cleaning:
For your own safety and in the interest of
hygiene your Cooker Hood needs to be kept
clean. A build up of grease or fat from
cooking could cause a fire hazard.
Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning, particularly around the control panel
area.
Filters and their replacement:
THE METAL GREASE FILTER -
The grease filter is fitted to absorb grease and
dust during cooking to help keep the
appliance clean inside.
The metal casing and grille assembly should
be cleaned at least once a month to keep it
looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth,
wrung out in warm water and dry with a clean
soft cloth. Wear protective gloves.
You can use mild non-abrasive cleaners but
always read the manufacturer’s instructions
first. Always test their suitability on a small
area of the Cooker Hood not noticeable in
normal use.
The metal filter must be cleaned frequently, at
least once every thirty days of normal use.
The filter should be handwashed in hot soapy
water. Alternatively it could be washed in a
dishwasher.
After cleaning the filter, dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the
surface.
IMPORTANT:There could be a possible fire
hazard if the grease filter is not cleaned
when necessary and according to these
instructions.
How to replace the light:
Should the light fail to work, switch ‘Off’the
mains supply to the Hood.
TO REMOVE THE GREASE FILTER -
Release the catches on the filter (Fig.7 on
page 7), then the filter can be removed.
Unscrew the lamp cover (Fig.11) and first
check the bulb is screwed securely into the
lamp holder then switch ‘On’ at the mains
supply.
If the light still fails to work do not worry, it
will not affect the working of your hood.
Obtain a replacement halogen 20 Watt max
lamp.
THE CARBON FILTER -
The carbon filter absorbs odours arising from
the cooking. In use, the filter will slowly
become saturated and gradually less effective. Switch ‘Off’the mains supply. Unscrew the old
