allow the cooker hood to cool. The cut-out device
will reset itself when the fan motor has cooled
significantly.
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify
this product in any way.

wall cabinets must not overhang the hob.
• If the room where the 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

YOUR APPLIANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The cooker hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not
extract steam.
To obtain the best performance it is advisable
to switch on the hood a few minutes before
you start cooking and leave it running for
approximately 15 minutes after finishing.
Cooker Hood Controls
The cooker hood functions are controlled by
two slide switches, located centrally in the
front edge of the metal grille panel.

To Operate

The appliance can be installed to recirculate
or extract contaminated air. The cooker hood
is more effective when used in the extraction
mode.
Extraction
In the extraction mode the contaminated air
enters the cooker hood, passes through the
grease filter and out through the ducting to the
atmosphere.
Recirculation
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is
passed through the charcoal filters to be
purified and recirculated into the kitchen
through a recirculation grille. Ensure the
charcoal filters are in position.
When the ducting mode is selected the
charcoal filters are not required.
Never do flambé cooking under this cooker
hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended during use
as over-heated fats and oils can catch fire.
Do not leave naked flames under the cooker
hood.
Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered
with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean, as a
build up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.
The external surfaces of the hood should be
cleaned regularly. Wipe the cooker hood
frequently with warm soapy water using a mild
detergent. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning
the hood.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filters absorb the odours from
cooking. They will slowly become saturated
and gradually less effective.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, we
recommend they are replaced every 3-6
months or more often if the hood is used for
more than 3 hours per day.
To Remove/Replace the Charcoal
Filters
1. Remove the lower grille, supporting the grille
with one hand and draw down on the two grey
handles (located on each side of the grille).
2. The charcoal filters are handed and should be
fitted one at a time.
3. Insert one end of the filter into the slots in the
fan housing then lower the other end until the
tab engages the slot in the casing.
