Great care should be taken when
~
using the cooker hood at the same time
and in the same room or area of the
house as another heating appliance
which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood
or coal-fired boilers and heaters,

keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.
When used in extraction mode, with or
without an external motor fitted, the
appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from
neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an
underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen,
impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of
the chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the cooker
hood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure of
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which must not be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the cooker hood can
only be switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice versa.
A ventilation brick alone is not generally
sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.
,The overall ventilation condition
of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice
of a competent builder or, for gas, a
qualified gas fitter (Corgi registered
in the UK) must be sought.
If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.

Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.
The stainless steel outer filter and the
re-usable metal grease filter remove
solid particles from the kitchen vapours
(grease, dust, etc), preventing soiling of
the cooker hood.
Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling is left on for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.
The stainless steel outer filter and
grease filter should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a built-up of grease, but always
clean them immediately if the grease
filter indicator light comes on.
Do not use:
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
Both the outer filter and the grease filter
should be cleaned.
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays.

Safety distance between hob and
cooker hood (S)
– When deciding on the safety
distance between the hob and
cooker hood, please note that a
distance of 650 mm above electric
cookers/hobs may be preferable to
give more working space under the
hood.
The following minimum safety
distance must be maintained
between the top of the cooker/hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
unless a greater distance is
specified by the manufacturer of the
cooker or hob:
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. The
person should have sufficient space
to work comfortably at the hob, and
also be able to reach the hood
controls with ease.

Installation
Dismantling
Before installation, it is important to
read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
"Appliance dimensions" and the
"Warning and Safety instructions" at
the beginning of this booklet.
This is particularly crucial when
using the cooker hood at the same
time as a heating appliance that
relies on oxygen from the same
room to avoid the danger of toxic
fumes building up.
Should the appliance need to be
dismantled, follow the installation
instructions in reverse order as
described on the Installation sheet.
A lever is supplied to assist with the
removal of the tower.
Installation instructions
See enclosed Installation sheet for
instructions on how to install this
appliance.

Connection for air extraction
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.
Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
– When using an external motor, make
sure that the exhaust ducting is
sufficiently rigid. The external motor
can cause an underpressure which
could result in the exhaust ducting
distorting.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area must not be
smaller than the cross-sectional area
of the exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting should not be
kinked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
– Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the cooker hood.

Connection for air extraction
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into Condensate trap
the open air, the installation of a
(optional accessory)
telescopic wall vent or roof vent is
recommended.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Important.
In addition to insulating the exhaust
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur. Condensate traps
are available for C 125 mm or
problem of condensation will need to
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will
need to be suitably insulated.
C 150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection. The arrow on the
housing indicates the direction of
air-flow.
Cooker hoods designed for use with an
external motor (...EXT models) have an
integrated condensate trap.

Silencer
...with air extraction:
(optional accessory)
The silencer not only reduces noise
from the fan, but also sounds from
outside (e.g. traffic noise).
For this reason the silencer must be
positioned as close as possible to where
the ducting leaves the building a.
...air extraction with external motor:
To minimise noise from the motor in
the kitchen, the silencer should be
positioned in front of the external
motor b if possible, or if the ducting is
long, then in the ducting above the
cooker hood itself c.
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer can be
fitted in the ducting system...
In the case of an external motor placed
inside the house, fitting a silencer
behind the external motor d reduces
the noise of the motor outside the
house.
In all modes of operation, the most
effective noise reductions are
achieved if two silencers are fitted
one behind the other in the system.
