Completing the installation If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should
now fit the two carbon filters. See the “Fitting the carbon filters” section on page 15.
The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted on the rating plate, which is placed inside the cooker hood. The appliance should now be connected to the electrical supply. See page 16 – 17 for detailed information on the electrical connection.
Use a stainless steel cleaner on the stainless steel sections of the appliance.
Refit the grease filter and then switch on the mains supply to the appliance. Check that the appliance is operating correctly by selecting each speed and switching the light bulbs on and off.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the
kitchen via an opening in the hood
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker hood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
