External Cleaning

Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm
soapy water using a mild detergent.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning particularly around the control panel.

Metal Grease Filters

The grease filter absorbs grease and dust
during cooking to help keep the appliance
clean inside, and should be cleaned
approximately once every month
or more often if the hood is used for
more than 3 hours a day.

Remove the metal grease filters
one at a time by:

Releasing the catches on the filters, the filters
can now be removed.

The metal grease filters should be washed, by

providing the maximum output of the appliance
beneath does not exceed the maximums quoted in the
Technical Specifications.

If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood
exceeds the maximum outputs quoted, please refer to
the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Hob

A clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ”) is required
when installed above a built-in electric hob, or 700mm
(27 1/2 ”) when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required when
installed above a slot-in electric cooker, or 787mm (30
1/2 ”) when installed above a slot-in gas cooker.

When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the
wall cabinets must not overhang the hob and the
distance between the underside of the cabinet and the
worktop must be 450mm. If the height of the wall
cabinet is less than 450mm, a gap of 50mm must be
maintained either side of the hob.

This cooker hood must not be installed above
a cooking appliance with a high level grill.

Fitting the Wall Brackets

1. Draw a vertical line on the wall from the centre

of the cooking appliance up to the ceiling,
using a spirit level and marking pen. This is to
ensure the correct vertical alignment of the
appliance.

2. Mark the centre positions Y for the wall bracket

keyhole fixing screws item 1 (lower fixing
bracket) at 100mm either side of the vertical
line. Ensure that the distance between the
lowest point of the hood and the cooking
appliance beneath meet the clearance
requirements quoted above.

A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm clearance
D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm clearance

12

* Clearance height as specified above

3. Draw a horizontal line through the vertical line

15mm from the ceiling. Place one of the two
upper brackets (item 2) over the line. Ensure
the bracket is level and mark the centres for
the keyhole fixing screws 55mm either side of
the vertical line.

4. Draw a horizontal line through the vertical line

for the second upper brackets (item 2) at X. X
is the distance between the centre of the top
and bottom fixing holes on the upper chimney
section. Ensure the line is level.

5. Place the second bracket (item 2) over the

line, and mark the centres for the keyhole
fixing screws 55mm either side of the vertical
line.

6. Drill the holes for the wall bracket fixing screws

using an 8mm drill and fix the wall brackets
items 1 and 2 using the rawl plugs and screws
provided.

Note: If the hood is to be installed onto a hollow

construction or plaster or partition board wall
then special fixing will be required (not
supplied).

Fitting the canopy hood

1. Hook the canopy hood C, into the wall fixing

brackets ensuring the security fixing screws
align with the holes in the centre of the back
panel as illustrated.

2. Insert the two M4 x 25m canopy adjustment

screws, into the wall brackets, from the
underside of the hood.

3. The canopy can be aligned and adjusted in

height by using the two adjustment screws
(W).

4. Before fitting the chimney to the canopy make

the electrical connection as described in the
sectione titled “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION”.

5. When the electrical connection has been

made, test the worktop lighting and the three
speed fan.

13

Venting

The hood is more effective when used
in the extraction mode (ducted to the
outside).

Venting kits may be purchased through your
retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted
to an outside vent of 150mm (5ins) or 125mm
(5ins).

The best performance will be achieved by using the
largest diameter ducting available.

Where flexible ducting is fitted the length
should be no more than:

3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.

The ducting used must be manufactured from
fire retardant material conforming to the
relevant British Standard or DIN 4102-B1

When the hood is ducted to the outside the
charcoal filters must be removed.

Recirculation

If you are using the hood for recirculating,
ensure the charcoal filters are in position
following the instructions contained in the
section (To Remove/Replace the Charcoal
Filters).

14

Fitting the Chimney Stack

The chimney stack consists of two 2 sections.

1. Fit the upper section (S) first. Expand the

chimney slightly to allow it to be fitted over the
wall brackets, and then secure the upper
section using the 4 self tapping screws
provided.

2. Fit the lower chimney section (I) as above

ensuring the base of the chimney is fitted
correctly into the recess around the top of the
canopy as illustrated.

3. When the chimney stack has been installed, fit

the two venting grilles into the apertures
located on either side of the lower chimney
stack. The grilles are marked with two arrows
and should be fitted with one arrow pointing
upwards and the other towards the front.

Note: When the cooker hood is used in recirculation

mode, ensure the grilles are properly secured
to the recirculation spigot R, as illustrated.
