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.
