4.1- Fixing the wall brackets (and splashback) Ref. to Fig. 2a-b 1-_ Draw a vertical line on the wall from the centre of the cooking appliance up to the ceiling, using a marking pen. This is to ensure the correct vertical alignment of many components.

2. Fixing the wall bracket No. 1:

à - pur the bracker L to the wall, aligning its marked centre across the vertical line, ensuring that the distance berween the centres of the holes and the cooking area is as follows :

1 - when the splashback is to be installed: d=270mm+H mm, where H is the height of the visible part

of the splashback. As the splashback can be of different heights, the correct H figure can only be obtained by measuring the actual height of the splashback to be fitted.

2 - without splashbacke d-920 mm minimum.

Note: ensure that the wall bracket (1) is levelled. The hood can be aligned or adjusted in height by rotating the adjustment screws (see below). b- mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket. 3 Fhing he wall bracket No. 2: a - Put the bracket No. 2 to the wall at about 1 - 2 mm from the ceiling or from the maximum height required, paying attention to the correct vertical alignment. b - mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket. 4 Fing he wall bracket No. 3: à - Put the wall bracker No. 3 to the wall, paying attention to the correct vertical alignment at a X distance measured as in Fig, 2 a-b, The X distance must equal the height of the U-shaped upper section $, and can vary according 10 the diflerenc heights of this section. b- Mark on the wall the centres of the two keyholes of the bracket No. 3.

5- Pilot drill all the hole positions as marked on the wall using a 8mm drill. Fix the wall brackets 1 - 2 -

6- Splashback (if available)

When the M bade Fi is to be fitted, the distance between the cooker hood and the cooking appliance will be determined by the height of the splashback. The splashback is to be ftred before positioning the canopy. IFthe splashback is to be fixed to the wall using both the upper and lower fxing points, care must be taken to ensure that the splashback if fitted at the correct height before placing in position the base cabinet and worktop. Being a rather complicated operation, the fixing of êhe splashback should be carried out by a qualifed or competent person, knowing all the final dimensions Ft fuir Fe splshback 1 be ed rough nl he upper part, proc as ollows : à - Put the splashback on the worktop as shown on Fig, 2; then hold ir against the wall ensuring that it is correctly positioned on the worktop. b - Mark on the wall the to hole positions which appear on the upper part of the splashback. €- Pilot drill the hole positions using a 8mm drill and fix the splashback using the 8mm rawl plugs and screws supplied.

4 - The installer should ensure chat the lower part of the splashback is adequately fixed.

4.2- Fitting the canopy (Fig. 3). 1 = Rotate halfway the no screws R positioned on the hanging lugs of the canopy.

2- Hook the canopy on to the wall bracket 1 ensuring that the two lugs of the bracket are fitted on the

Keyhole Éxing points of the canopy and push down as allowed by the adjustment screws R. 3 = The canopy can be aligned or adjusted in height using the ro adjustment screws R.

44- Ducting or Recirculation fitting.

a - The cooker hood can be ducted to the outside using either a rigid or a flexible duct of 100 or 120 mm diameter. The choice should be made by the installer. b - The ducting spigor supplied has an air outler of 100 mm diameter. To adapr to 120 mm diameter cut along the slotted line as shown on Fig, 4, using a proper knife. €- Remove the no screws on top of the canopy and secure the spigot (Fig. 5) fit the spigor À on the recrangular air outlet on the top of the canopy and secure the spigor ro the canopy using the two screws. 4 Connect (Fig. 5) the rigid/flexible duct to both the ducting spigor À and to the wall outet using suitable clamps (not supplied). The installer should ensure that the ducting material is available. e- If the hood is provided with the charcoal filter fitted, the filter should be removed (see part 2, paragraph 3 3.2b) 2-_ Recirculation fiting: a - When the hood is installed in the recirculation mode, the air is recirculated into the kitchen chrough the vo venring grilles locared on both sides of the lower U-shaped section. The vo grilles can be positioned at rw different heights (Fig, 6 and 7). b - Lower position (Fig. 6): Fit the recirculation spigoc F to the rectangular outlet on top ofthe canopy and push it down ensuring thac the four lugs are fitted into the hole. €- Upper position (Fig. 7): Fit the additional spigo P to the rectangular outlet on top ofthe canopy and push it down ensuring char the four lugs fi into the holes. Then fit the recireulaton spigot F on che additional spigot P. d- Fit the charcoal filter inside the canopy see part 2, paragraph 3 3.3b. NOTE - Do nor fr the no venting grilles co the chimney stack: the grilles are ro be ftted only when the chimney stack has been positioned. 4.5- Fitting the telescopic chimney stack (Fig. 8). The chimney stack is formed using the no U-shaped sections and i is adjustable for différent eight. 1 = To ft the upper section $ first widen the no sides of the secrion slightly so that they can be camped co the wall brackets 2 and 3 and then ensure that they are correctly B-stened. The upper section is fixed 10 the wall bracker 2 with its upper corners. Secure the upper section to the bracket 2 using ro screus provided with the fxing kit.

2- The lower section I of the chimney stack can be fixed in a similar way between the wall brackets 1

and 3 and the wall, paying atten-tion to fr the lower part of the section into the recess of the canopy (see close-up). Then fx the lower section I ro the wall bracker Lusing the eo remaining self apping screws. NOTE - The upper S and lower I sections are fixed to the wall bracket in the middle 3 chrough a spring and the connection is made by pushing both sections vigorously towrard the centre. 3 Ficthe two vencing grilles, one to either side of the chimney stack. The gilles are marked with ro arrows and should be fited so that one arrow is pointing upwards and the other forward away from the wall. When the hood is to be used in the recirculation mode ensure that both grilles fit properly to the recirculation spigot F (Fig, 9).

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragr. 3 of the Installation instructions are strictly observed. Moreover pay special attention to the following warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood. 1.1- The grease filters and the charcoal filter should be cleaned or replaced as recommended by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (over 4 hours per day). 1.2- When using a gas hob in conjunction with the cooker hood, never leave the burners uncovered while the hood is in use; when removing the pans either turn the hob off or keep the flame to a minimum if it is only for a few minutes and under supervision. 1.3- Alvays ensure that the flame does not overflow from under the pans; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration of heat.

14- Do not use the appliance in any incorrect way: this hood has been designed only to reduce the

smells of cooking in the kitchen.

2.11- The cooker hood functions are located in a concealed control panel on the right hand side of the canopy, behind the front trim. To gain access to the control panel apply slighe pressure to che control panel back and release. To relocate the control panel in its concealed position just push it back upwards. 2.2- The cooker hood can be operated as follows (Fig, 11): = the switch L, marked with the lamp symbol, controls the worktop illumination; - the switch M, marked with the fan symbol, controls che power to the fan motor (0-1); - the switch V, marked 1-2-3, controls the fan speed: - position 1: low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan; the noise level is kept to the minimum. - position 2: medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking, This speed offers the best ratio between air capacity and noise level. - position 3: top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours, even for a long period.

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease flters and to the charcoal filter when the hood is used in the recirculation mode. 3.1- Metal grease filters. a- Cleaning The metal grease filters should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and can be cleaned in à dichwasher or by hand using mild detergent or liquid soap. b= Replacement: The metal grease filter panels are easily removed, one at a time, by applying sight inward pressure to the actuators to release the securing bolts. Care should be taken to support the filter with one hand while releasing the securing bolts with the other hand (Fig. 13). The filter panels should be refitted with bolt side facing downwards.

3.2- Thin synthetic filter. On certain models the meral grense fiers are replaced with a lower grille panel containing a paper filter with saturation indicators. a- Cleaning The paper fier visible through the perforared meral grease filter tray cannot be wached and should be replaced when the white areas between the violet dots turn brown. Replacement: To remove the filer for subsequent replacement first open the meta grille panel (Fig. 14a) ro the stop position. To remove the metal grille panel side the righe hand side of the panel forward until the ingé pin comes away from the recess in the side casing (Fig, 14b). The filter i easily removed from che grille by pushing the wire clips co one side and removing (Fig. 140). Replace the lter making sure chat the saturarion indicarors Ace downwards. Replace by reversing the operation ensuring that che lower grill is securely Aisrened to the side casing. 3.3- Charcoal filter. a- In the recycling mode the charcoal filter absorbs smells and odours. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced ar least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is used consistently. b- To replace the charcoal filter first remove the metal grease filters (or metal grille) and then unscrew the two thumb screws located on each side of the charcoal filter. 3.4- Worktop illumination. À 15W flourescent strip lamp ensures the illumination of the worktop. To replace the strip lamp operate as follows (Fig. 12): a- Remove the plastic cover T near the control box. The glass strip is kept in its position by the retaining lugs Z. = Move the glass ar towards the control box une che opposite end is fee (arrow 1). Pull che glass strip dighly down (arrow 2) and then move it back the opposite direction (arrow 3) until the glass strip can be removed. The strip lamp can be removed by rotating, he amp à quarter turn. Replace by reversing the operations. On cerrain models the illumination of the workop is ensured by 2 lamps of 40 W(E 14). 3.5- Cleaning. The metal work, both inside and outside, should be cleaned regularly by using mild household detergents or liquid soap. Care should be taken nor to use abrasive cleaning materials, especially when cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
