Safety

• The appliance must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Improper installation may result in injury or damage, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
• The electrical safety of this appliance is guaranteed only if it is connected to a properly earthed system which complies with the electrical safety standards in force. If you cannot verify that this fundamental safety requirement is in place, consult a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for an appliance which has not been correctly earthed.
• Check that the voltage (230 Volts AC) printed on the rating label at the back of the Cooker hood corresponds to the mains voltage in your home. If in doubt call a qualified electrician.

• Never replace the power supply cable yourself. Damaged cables must only be replaced by an authorised service centre.

• Adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extension leads must not be used.
  • To avoid electrical shock, never touch the Cooker hood or plug with wet hands.

• Ventilation outlets on the Cooker hood should never be covered, as obstructions may cause overheating or fire.
  • Always disconnect the plug from the mains supply before cleaning the Cooker hood or carrying out maintenance work.
• Do not flambé under the Cooker hood as this may cause a fire hazard.
• Avoid leaving a gas hob on when there is no pan on the stove.

WARNING!

It is hazardous for anyone other than authorised service personnel to carry out Servicing or repairs which involves the removal of covers.

To avoid the risk of an electric shock do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

Disposal

Old appliances still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. Up to date information concerning options for disposing of your old appliance and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

Introducing Your New Cooker Hood

Before use

Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Matsui Cooker hood. The Cooker hood is for indoor, domestic use only. WARNING- Please be careful when unpacking and installing this appliance as sheet metal can cause injury if not handled with care.

Install Your New Cooker Hood

Installation and electrical wiring must be carried out by a qualified engineer to ensure all applicable codes and standards are followed. Before installing check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate is suitable for your home.

Location

The Cooker hood is designed to be a permanent fixture in the home, therefore needs to be located in a place that the lowest part of the hood will be set at least 70cm above the hob. The Cooker hood will need to be positioned with adequate ventilation directly over the cooker. The air that is discharged from the Cooker hood should NOT be filtered into a flue that is used for other appliances that use gas or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air MUST be fulfilled.

IMPORTANT: The Cooker hood flue MUST not be connected to a previously installed appliance i.e. water heaters, boilers or cooker. The Cooker hood MUST have a separate flue and MUST NOT be installed above a cooker with eye-level grills.

IMPORTANT: Easy access to the electrical socket must be maintained to ensure that you can carry out simple maintenance.

Before plugging in YOU MUST Check that you have a socket, which is compatible with the Cooker hood. If not see the section called ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS on page 6.

Installation

Before beginning any installation work ensure the mains power has been turned off.

Ducting

1 Using a Phillips screwdriver fix the ducting hose connector onto the air outlet of the hood.

2 Connect the hose to the air duct. Use the adaptor provided to connect to a 125mm hose.

3 The ducting can pass through your wall. Alternatively if your kitchen has a soffit, then the ducting can be positioned to run horizontally through an outside wall directly to a wall cap. NOTE: A soffit is the underside of the roof overhang, normally wood or plastic.

Stencil

Use the stencil provided to help position the hood onto the wall directly below the ducting. NOTE: Take extreme care when drilling holes into your wall to avoid hidden electrical wiring.

1 With the stencil positioned on the wall, drill 4 holes onto the back wall. Push 4 raw plugs into the drill holes and then first screw in the top 2 screws.

2 Fix the hood onto the wall by positioning the upper 2 screws through the key holes on the back of the hood.

3 Attach the lower part of the hood by removing the filter panels to gain access to the lower screw holes.

Attaching the Chimney flue wall bracket

1 Using the wall bracket as a template, drill 2 holes into the wall and push raw plugs into the drill holes.
2 Place the wall bracket over the raw plugs and screw into position.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning will help to maintain the effectiveness of your Cooker hood.

1 Switch off and unplug the Cooker hood before cleaning.
2 Clean the outside of the Cooker hood with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.

NOTE: Do not use solvents or abrasives as this may damage the Cooker hood.

Cleaning the filters

To ensure the filters do not become a fire hazard we recommend they are washed every 3 months. Do not check the filter panels whilst the Cooker hood is in use.

1 Before cleaning the filters always switch off and disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Remove the filter panels by holding down the buttons on each panel and lifting towards you. They can then be taken out of the cooker hood.

3 Wash each filter in warm water and a mild detergent, leave to soak and drain. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing into the Cooker hood.
4 Place the bottom of each panel into the back of the Cooker hood and raise the top to click into position.

NOTE: The filter panels are also dishwasher proof. The filter panels may alter in colour slightly after several washes, this is not a fault.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Changing the internal light

Allow the Cooker hood to cool for at least 30 minutes after use before changing the light bulb.

1 Before carrying out the bulb replacement always switch off and disconnect the electrical supply.
2 Remove the removable filters by holding down the buttons on each panel and lifting towards you. They can then be taken out of the Cooker hood.
3 Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it in an anti-clockwise direction.
4 Replace with a new bulb (maximum 40w) by screwing it in a clockwise direction. Make sure that it is secure in the bulb holder (your cooker hood is fitted with 2x 40w bulbs).

5 Replace the filters.

The Cooker hood is not working

• Check it is plugged in and switched on.
• Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown.
• Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working.
