The cooker hood must be installed centrally over a cooking appliance. The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the metal grease filters on the underside of the hood must be at least 650 mm.

To install the hood proceed as follows:

1) Drill six 8 mm diameter holes at X1-X2-J and insert the plastic rawl plugs supplied as illustrated in fig. 2, ensuring the brackets are fitted as shown in the blow up. 2) Secure the two brackets C to the wall, inserting two of the screws supplied through the two holes on line X1-X2 as illustrated in fig. 2. 3) Slide the canopy down the wall to locate the key hole over the washer, then secure the canopy to the wall by inserting two of the screws supplied through the two outer holes in the rim of the canopy J1 and J2 as illustrated in fig. 3.

4) EXTRACTION OR RECIRCULATION INSTALLATION:

- EXTRACTION (DUCTED)

When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid pipe of 150 or 120 mm diameter, the choice of which is left to the installer.

• To install a 120 mm air exhaust connection, insert the reducer flange 9 on the hood body outlet. Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• Remove any activated charcoal filters.

• RECIRCULATION (FILTERED)

• When the hood is fitted in the recirculation mode the Air Outlet Connection H should be fitted as illustrated in fig. 6.
• Fit the (optional) charcoal filters by repeating the following operation on each side of the motor housing. Place the two key hole slots in the filter L and turn the filter clockwise to lock the filter in position as illustrated in fig. 7.

WARNING: It is a possible fire hazard if the metal grease filters are not cleaned and the charcoal filters replaced regularly.

Fitting The Chimney

To fit the upper chimney A, place the top edge of the chimney over the bracket C as illustrated in fig. 8 and secure the chimney using two of the 2.9mm self tapping screws provided.

The distance H in the height between the fixing holes X1 and X2 is determined by the height of the upper chimney A.

To fit the lower chimney B, apply slight force to the two rear edges to increase the width of the aperture, then sleeve the chimney B over the chimney A as illustrated in fig. 9.

USE

The cooker hood functions are controlled by a series of slider or push button switches mounted on the front of the hood and control the worktop lighting and fan motor speeds. This cooker hood will not remove steam.

1) SLIDER SWITCHES

• A switch controls the worktop lighting - ON/OFF.
• A switch controls the fan speeds - OFF/ON-1-2-3.
• The red neon lamp illuminates when the motor is switched ON.

2) PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES

• A switch controls the worktop lighting - ON/OFF.
• A button switches the motor OFF/ON at the low speed setting.
• A button switches the motor to the medium speed setting.
• A button switches the motor to the high speed setting.
• The red neon lamp illuminates when the motor is switched ON.

3) SPEED SETTINGS

• 1/Low should be selected when simmering or when using only one pan.
• 2/Medium should be selected for cooking when using up to four pans.
• 3/High should be selected when frying or cooking food with a strong odour.

MAINTENANCE

N.B. Before carrying out any kind of maintenance, cleaning or replacing lamps, disconnect the hood from the mains supply.

1. Lighting

Comprises two 40W bulbs. To replace the bulbs, proceed as follows (fig.10): Remove one of the pins at the sides of the lamp cover. Slide the glass towards the side from which the pin has been removed until the opposite edge has been freed, then pull gently downwards. Replace the bulbs and fit the glass again by repeating the above operations in reverse order.

2. Filters

• The metal grease filter should be cleaned every two months or more frequently if the hood is used consistently. It can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap. When replacing, ensure that they are dry.
• The charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced at least every 2 months or more frequently if the hood is used consistently.

3. Cleaning

When cleaning the hood, it is recommended to use a damp cloth and mild liquid household cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaning materials.

IMPORTANT: When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood, never leave the burners of the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed. It is very important to follow all instructions for cleaning the hood and filters. There could be a possible fire hazard if the filters are not replaced according to these instructions.

ATTENTION: The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage or injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation, for maintenance and replacement times of filters indicated (in order to avoid a possible risk of fire when the filters are saturated with grease).

Operating modes

Exhaust-air mode:

☐ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and conveys them through the grease filter into the atmosphere. ☐ The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the kitchen vapours. ☐ The kitchen is kept almost free of grease and odours.

If the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode at the same time as a flue-type heater (e.g. gas, oil or solid-fuel heater, instantaneous water heater, boiler), ensure that there is an adequate air supply which the heater requires for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the partial vacuum in the room in which the heater is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if the combustion air is able to flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and in conjunction with an air supply/air-intake wall box or by other technical procedures such as reciprocal interlocking.

Operating modes

If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as hobs and ovens.

Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode – with activated carbon filter.

Circulating-air mode:

☐ An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this operating mode (see Filters and maintenance). The activated carbon filter can be purchased as an optional accessory from your dealer. The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions. ☐ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours which are purified in the grease filter and activated carbon filter and then conveyed back into the kitchen. ☐ The grease filter absorbs the grease particles in the kitchen vapours. ☐ The activated carbon filter binds the odorous substances.

⚠️ If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not possible to bind the odorous substances in the cooking vapours.

⚠️ If the extractor hood is switched from exhaust-air mode to circulating-air mode, the exhaust-air opening must be sealed to prevent a hazardous situation (see optional accessories in the Instructions for use).

! Risk of grease filter catching fire due to flames.

⚠️ The hotplates must always be covered with a utensil. Restrictions apply to the use of the extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner (coal, wood, etc.). (See Installation instructions).

Gas hobs / Gas cookers

Do not use all the gas hotplates simultaneously for a prolonged period (max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the housing surfaces are touched or a risk of damage to the extractor hood. If the extractor hood is situated over a gas hob, operate the hood at maximum setting if three or more gas hotplates are operated simultaneously.

Cleaning and care

Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out the mains plug or switching off the fuse.

☐ When cleaning the grease filters, remove grease deposits from accessible parts of the housing. This prevents the risk of fire and ensures that the extractor hood continues operating at maximum efficiency. ☐ Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap solution or a mild window cleaner. ☐ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe off with a damp cloth. ☐ Do not use scouring agents or abrasive sponges. ☐ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic surfaces, as dull marks may appear.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

⚠ Clean the operating buttons with a mild soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean the operating buttons.

Stainless steel surfaces:

☐ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. ☐ Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished.

⚠ Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

☐ Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth. ☐ Do not use dry cloths. ☐ Use a mild window cleaning agent. ☐ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners. ☐ Do not use abrasive agents.
