Installing your Cooker Hood
Your new Cooker Hood can be installed either
for recirculation or extraction through an
outside wall.
NOTE: The hood is more efficient in the
exhaust mode, therefore this position
should be selected during the warmer
months of the year when no heating is
being used. When the room is being
heated, if the recirculation position is
selected heat will not be wasted.
To obtain the best performance it is
advisable to switch on the hood a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave
it running approximately 15 minutes after
finishing.
Installation:
These distances, between hobs and grease
filter must be observed.
Minimum 65cm
Minimum 75cm
over an electric hob.
over a gas hob.
Minimum 40-45cm over a high level grill/
top oven.
See page 7.
Installation for Extraction:
Fig.3
Installation for Recirculation:
If it is not possible to exhaust to the outside,
the hood can be used to filter and recirculate
the air (Fig.1).
Fig.1
This method is recommended if at all possible.
Fumes and grease laden air are drawn into the
underside of the hood and expelled out.
The air can be expelled either upwards
through a ventilating shaft (Fig.3 A) or directly
through the wall to the outside (Fig.3 B).
Ducting will be required if the Cooker Hood is
mounted away from the outside vent.
-
-
To set deflector ready for extraction, slide
the conversion control towards the outside
of the conveyor until index C is visible
(Fig.2a).
To set deflector ready for recirculation,
slide the control towards the inside of the
conveyor (Fig.2b). Pull the plastic tongue
that blocks the index C outwards, to make
the insertion of the deflector easier. Fit the
supplied cover on the upper outlet hole.
To connect the pipe, fit the coupling ring
(Fig.3 C) in the selected outlet. Use the cover
(Fig.3 D) to close the unused outlet.
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.
Fig.2
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.
Fig.2a
Fig.2b
NOTE: All installations must comply with
local authorities and building regulation
requirements for the discharge of exhaust
air into the atmosphere.

Installing your Cooker Hood
Top Extraction (Fig.4)
Fig.4
If the exhaust air is being drawn upwards, a
pipe with a diameter of 100mm is necessary
and the blanking plate must be fitted in the
rear outlet. To check that the hood is set up
for extraction, open the grille panel and make
sure that the conversion lever on the unit is in
the exhausting position.
Rear Extraction (Fig.5)
Fig.5
If the air is to be drawn off to the rear, a pipe
with a diameter of 100mm is necessary and
the blanking plate should be fitted in the top
outlet.
Ducting:
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction,
long ducts should not be used. Pipes with a
minimum internal diameter of 100mm and
with as smooth an inner wall as possible are
recommended. The ducting MUST be
manufactured from a fire retardant material.

MOUNTING
Mounting Height:
Your Cooker Hood is suitable for wall
mounting or fixing to the underside of a wall
cupboard. In either case the underneath of
the hood should be 65cm above an electric
hob,
75cm above a gas hob, 40-45cm above a high
level grill/top oven.
For the best results, the hood should be
mounted as near as possible to the minimum
recommended height.
Fixing to the wall:
Fig.8
WARNING: 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 over-
heated. 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.
Fit the template to the wall.
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.
Make four 8mm diameter holes in the wall,
(2 on Fig.8 H and 1 on either of the points
Fig.8 I).

Caring for your Cooker Hood
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil-
Fig.11
ters or light bulb, always ensure that the elec-
tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched
‘OFF’.
Filters and their replacement:
THE GREASE FILTER -
Your Cooker Hood is fitted with a grease filter
which absorbs grease, dust etc. and helps to
keep the appliance clean inside. Gradually the
filter will become saturated with grease and
when this happens the visual indicator stripes
will start to be seen through the filter grille.
When the stripes are clearly visible from out-
side the Hood - the grease filter must be
replaced.
4. Replace the retaining clips.
5. Close the grille panel.
THE CARBON FILTER -
(Recirculation only)
The activated carbon filter absorbs odours
arising from the cooking. In use, the filter will
slowly become saturated and gradually less
effective. The filter will normally require
changing every four months, depending on
the amount and type of cooking you have
done.
IMPORTANT:There could be a possible fire
hazard if the grease filter is not replaced
when necessary and according to these
instructions.
Replacement grease filters are available from
your nearest retailer or our Genuine Parts and
Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back
cover).
See page 5 (Figs. 1 and 2) to set your Cooker
Hood to the recirculation option.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector should be fixed to ensure the air
flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or
marking the rear wall (Fig.12) .
RELEASING THE GRILLE PANEL -
To open the grille
panel press the

Caring for your Cooker Hood
Cleaning:
The exterior of the Cooker Hood should be
cleaned regularly 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.
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the
surface.
How to replace the light:
Should the light fail to work, switch ‘Off’the
mains supply to the Hood.
Open the grille and check the bulb is screwed
securely into the bulb holder then switch ‘On’
the mains supply.
If the light fails to work do not worry, it will
not affect the working of your hood. Obtain a
replacement 40 watt (E14) bulb. Switch ‘Off’
the mains supply. Unscrew the old bulb anti-
clockwise to remove and replace with the
new bulb turning clockwise until secure. Refit
the filter grille and switch back ‘On’at the
mains.
NOTE: When changing the bulb, an
identical replacement must be fitted to
ensure the safe operation of the hood.
