GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before installation and before using the Cooker Hood for the first time read the Operating
Instructions carefully. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
2. The Cooker Hood must only be used for domestic household purposes.
3. Children should not be allowed to play with the Cooker Hood or tamper with the controls.
Please supervise its use by the elderly or the infirm.
4. Any installation work should be undertaken by a qualified electrician or a competent person.
5. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify the product in any way.
6. Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised engineer.
7. Do not fit the Cooker Hood over an appliance burning solid fuel, as this would contravene
safety regulations.
8. Do not use the Cooker Hood without the grease filter in place.
9. When the Hood is fitted for EXTERNAL EXTRACTION the ducting must NOT be connected
to a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance supplied with energy other
than electric such as a central heating flue or water heating flue. If the room in which the
Cooker Hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating
boiler then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of flue
or appliances are fitted special care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate
supply of air to the room. This is because using the Cooker Hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room (i.e. gas, oil or coal fired
heaters etc.,) extracts the air which these types of heaters need for combustion. All
installations must comply with the local authorities requirements for the discharge of exhaust
air.
10. When the Cooker Hood is connected for INTERNAL RECIRCULATION with a Charcoal
Filter fitted the Cooker Hood can be used without any ventilation restrictions.
NOTE:
Charcoal Filters cannot be washed. They must be replaced, depending upon use, every 4-
6 months.
11. Always disconnect the Cooker Hood at the mains supply before opening and removing the
grill assembly or before any type of maintenance work.
12. Do keep heated areas of the hob covered over with pots and pans when using the hob and
Cooker Hood at the same time.

EXTERNAL EXHAUSTING-GENERAL INFORMATION
This appliance is provided with two air outlets, one at the top and one at the rear (see fig.1). Either
of these two may be used depending on the limitations imposed by the existing kitchen fitments.
The appliance is normally supplied with the top outlet open and provided with a connecting ring
C (see fig.1) onto which the external exhausting venting pipe, which should have an inner diameter
of 120 mm, must be fitted (not supplied). The rear air outlet is sealed by means of a blanking plug
A (See fig.1). If is intended to use the rear outlet, instead of the top outlet, the following easy
changes must be made to the appliance:
A) Remove the blanking plug A at the rear by gently easing it out with a screwdriver.
B) Then fit the blanking plug into the top outlet hole after first removing the connecting ring C.
C) Fit the connecting ring C to the rear outlet.
CHANGING THE COOKER HOOD FROM EXTERNAL EXHAUSTING TO INTERNAL
RECIRCULATION
If it is intended to use the Cooker Hood for internal recirculation it will be necessary to obtain from
the dealer a charcoal filter which will trap odours and purify the air. (Depending on use, it will be
necessary to replace the charcoal filter every 4-6 months). The following changes now need to be
made:
A) Seal the top and rear air outlets with the blanking plugs.
B) Open and hinge down the grill G (see fig.2).
C) Move the small lever Z from position A to position F (see fig.2).
D) Place the charcoal filter on the centre of the motor support, and when firmly located turn it 90°
(
1
/4 of a turn) until the “STOP” click is heard to lock it into position. (When you need to remove
the charcoal filter turn it in the opposite direction).
INSTALLATION-EXTERNAL EXHAUSTING
A) After deciding which air outlet to use ensure other air outlet sealed - as previously instructed.
B) Fit connecting ring C (see fig. 1) to the hole and couple it to the venting pipe (which must have
an inner diameter of 120 mm).
C) Ensure that the venting pipe is inclined at least 10° upwards to assist in the fume exhaustion,
and have no more than two 90° bends in its total run.
(NOTE:- Ensure connecting ring is correctly inserted through the outlet hole and coupled to the
venting pipe).
IMPORTANT: When fitting venting kits please follow assembly instructions provided by vent kit
manufacturer.
SAFETY WARNING:
Under no circumstances should you vent the hood through that of other appliances.
INSTALLATION ON A WALL
To mount the hood on a wall use the screws with the expanding plugs supplied. These must be
fixed to the wall 35 mm. above the position finally required for the Cooker Hood (remember - 750/
650 mm. from the cooking surface to the lowest part of the hood). The hood may now be hung on
the wall inserting the screws in the rear holes Z (see fig. 1) then firmly support the hood by
screwing in through rear holes Y (see fig. 1).
INSTALLATION UNDER A CUPBOARD
A) Drill 4 holes of 6 mm diameter in the bottom of the cupboard at the positions shown (see fig.
1) and one hole of 10 mm diameter for the mains lead.
B) If the Cooker Hood is to be used for external exhausting with the air outlet at the top then a
hole of 130 mm should be cut in the cupboard to allow for the outlet pipe.
