IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special
local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing
appliance recycling services.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy
and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin .

Please note:

• Under no circumstances should the extractor be

connected to any gas ventilation system, flue system or
hot air ducting system.

• Do not vent the extractor into an attic or loft space.

• Only install the extractor in rooms with adequate

ventilation. Remember that the extractor is powerful and
whatever air is extracted needs to be replaced.

• Do not tile the extractor in. It should be removable for

service or maintenance.

• Do not use silicone sealant to secure the extractor to the

wall.

• You must be able to isolate the extractor from the mains

electrical supply after installation.

4

• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this

appliance.

• The performance of your extractor will vary depending

on a number of factors, such as supply voltage and
cleanliness of the filters.

Note:

For best performance, you should switch on the extractor 15 minutes
before starting to cook and leave it to run for approximately 15
minutes after the end of cooking.

To switch the extractor on:

• Touch the “Plus” key (D) to start the extractor running at the lowest

speed.

Setting the extractor speed when it is running:

The extractor may run at a choice of 4 speeds, indicated by the
“Speed indicator” lights (C) on the control panel.

• To increase the speed touch the “Plus” key (D). The speed will

increase by one increment for each touch of this key.

• To decrease the speed touch the “Minus” key (B). The speed will

decrease by one increment for each touch of this key.

Energy saving functions:

To help save energy:

• After 5 minutes of running at the 4th (highest) speed the motor

automatically reduces to the 2nd speed.

• After 7 minutes of running at the 3rd speed the motor automatically

reduces to the 2nd speed.

To switch the extractor o:

• Touch the “Minus” key (B) several times to turn the extractor to its

lowest speed setting, then once more to turn it o.

To switch the light on or o:

• Touch the “Light” key (A).

6

The timer function:

The timer function sets the extractor to switch itself o after ten
minutes have passed. This is ideal when you leave the kitchen after
cooking as the extractor can be left to clear the air then switch o to
save power, without you disturbing your meal to switch it o.

• To set this function, touch the “Timer” key “E”. The “Speed

indicator” will start to flash to show this function has been activated.

• To cancel this function, press either the “Plus” or “Minus” button (D)

or (B).

Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Cleaning

You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner
(including Cif) will scratch the surface.
You can clean your extractor eectively by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean
cloth, for example the CDA E-Cloth.

Cleaning the grease filters

The grease filters should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
The grease filters may be removed then cleaned with hot soapy
water. You can also wash the grease filters in a dishwasher, ensuring
that you place them in an upright position to prevent damage from
other items in the dishwasher.

7

Please note:

Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher may lead to discolouration.
This is normal and does not constitute a
fault with the appliance.

To remove the aluminium grease
filters for cleaning

• With the electricity supply still switched on, touch the “Plus” key

once to lower the moving panel and start the motor at its lowest
speed.

• Switch o the electricity supply to the extractor.

• Pull the lower edge of the filter panel toward you slightly to release

it from its lower retaining magnets (Fig. 2).

• Slide the filter panel to the right to release its upper locating tabs in

their slots (Fig. 2).

• Carefully lower the filter panel from the extractor.

• The grease filters may be removed from the filter panel (for

cleaning) by first sliding the black plastic locating pillars aside: This
releases the filters so they can be slid out.

To re-fit the aluminium grease filter after cleaning

• With the electricity supply still switched o, reverse the removal

process to fit the filters into the filter panel, then the panel to the
extractor.

• Switch the electricity supply to the extractor back on.

• Touch the “Plus” key once to start the motor at its lowest speed.

• Touch the “Minus” key once to stop the motor and retract the

moving panel back to its rest position.

Changing the charcoal filters (re-circulating only)

To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the
charcoal filters every four to six months, depending on use.

To attach the charcoal filters:

• Remove the grease filter panel as described above.

• Position the charcoal filters in the slots at the rear of the filter panel.

• Replace the grease filter panel as described above.

IMPORTANT: Steam cleaners must not be used to clean this
appliance.

If your extractor is not working:

1. Check that the mains supply has not been switched o.

2. Check that the fuse in the spur has not blown.

If the speed drops without you touching a button:

This is likely to be the energy saving feature described above: The
fan speed automatically reduces from the higher speeds after a pre­set running time, to save power.

The LED Lamps

The LED lamps are long-life items that are not designed to be
replaced by the user. In the unlikely event of a lamp failure, contact
CDA Customer Care for assistance.

Mains Electricity Connection

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
BY A COMPETENT PERSON, USING FIXED WIRING VIA A DOUBLE
POLE SWITCHED FUSED SPUR OUTLET AND PROTECTED BY A
3A FUSE.

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.T. and local regulations.

The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live

As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead for the appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals connecting to
the fused spur, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured green

and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked “E” (Earth) or
coloured green.

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal

marked “N” (Neutral) or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the

terminal marked “L” (Live) or coloured red.

Note: Use a 3A Fuse.

Assembly and electrical connection should be carried out by
specialised personnel.

When installing this product we recommend you seek the help of
another individual.

Do not mount the isolation switch behind the chimney section. It is a
requirement that you must be able to isolate the extractor from the
mains electrical supply after installation.

This appliance is intended to be connected to the mains electrical
supply by means of an isolation switch and fused spur and is intended
to be protected by a 3A fuse. The use of a 13A fuse can cause
damage to the internal wiring in the event of a fault, and may also
invalidate the warranty.

Electrical Information

Mains electrical voltage: 230Vac

Total rated power consumption: 90W

Installation

When the extractor is to be installed
above an electric hob, the minimum
distance between the hob and extractor
must exceed 650mm.

When the extractor is to be installed
above a gas hob, the minimum distance
between the hob and extractor must
exceed 650mm.

If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the required
distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than
650mm, then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a
legal requirement and may lead to your hob being disconnected from
the gas supply and the installation being reported to RIDDOR (The
height should be measured from the top of the burners).

IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE
GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND
EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm.

The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the
extractor installed above it.

Ducting and Ventilation

For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the
use of 150mm ducting. 125mm ducting may be used but this will
reduce performance and increase the noise of the extractor.

Gas: 650mm minimum

Electric: 650mm minimum

Mounting Your Extractor

IMPORTANT: To mount this extractor correctly onto a wall, free
access to both sides of the appliance is required. This extractor is
therefore unsuitable for fitting in a location where it is butting up to a
side wall, fitting or other obstruction.

To mount the extractor onto a wall:

1. Use the template supplied to mark out four fixing holes in the wall,
then drill these using a suitable drill for the type of wall:

• Two holes for the top hanging brackets.

• Two holes toward the bottom for the lower angle brackets.

Note: The size required for the holes is dependent on the wall fixings
to be used. The screws supplied are suitable for solid masonry walls
only: Dedicated fixings (with large heads) will be required for dry lined,
partition or other types of walls.

2. Insert large headed screws into the upper two mounting holes in

the wall, leaving 2 - 3mm of shank
protruding from the wall.

3. Attach both the hanging brackets to

the body of the extractor using the
smaller screws supplied (Fig. 5).

Fig. 5

13

4. Attach the lower fixing brackets
to the wall using large screws
in the lower two holes drilled
in the wall; note the correct
orientation of these brackets is
shown in fig. 6.

5. Only tighten the screws in
these lower fixing brackets
enough to hold the brackets to
the wall but still allow them to
be slid into their final position.

6. Lift the extractor body into

position and hang it with the
key-hole slots in the upper
hanging brackets over the
upper wall screws.

7. Insert screws through the

lower fixing brackets to secure
the extractor body to them
(lower left one shown in Fig. 7).

8. Mount the cover into position over the main body, ensuring that the
plug on the end of the trailing lead is plugged into the socket on
the front of the body unit (Fig. 8). Insert two screws into the holes
in the top face to secure the cover in position.

For recirculating installation:

When installing for recirculation no
chimney section is used.

1. Fit the mesh cover into the air outlet;
this simply drops into position (Fig. 9).

2. Ensure that charcoal filters are
fitted, as described in the “Care and
Maintenance” section above. These are available from CDA as an
accessory.

Fig. 9

15

For extracting installation:

When installing for extraction both of
the optional external chimney sections
are often used.

1. It is usually easiest to screw the top
mounting bracket (“A” in Fig. 11) to the
wall and/or ceiling, centrally above
the extractor outlet before assembling
any ducting.

2. Fit the outlet adaptors to the body of

the extractor (Fig 10). Adaptors for
both round and rectangular ducting
are included with the chimney.

3. Fit your choice of ducting to the

outlet and route it through the ceiling
or wall as required.

4. Make any necessary electrical connections within the chimney area.

Note: the isolation switch must not be in this area, see comment
under “Mains electricity connection” above.

5. The lower chimney section simply slots into the top of the extractor

body.

6. Slide the upper chimney section inside the lower one then mount it

to the top bracket using two self-tapping screws (Fig. 11).
