• The extractor hood fan extracts the

kitchen vapours and passes them through
the grease filters.

• The grease filter absorbs the solid parti-

cles in the cooking vapours, keeping the
kitchen almost free of grease.

Never operate the extractor hood without

•

a grease filter.

• Never leave cooking fat or oil unat-

tended. Overheated fat or oil can easily
catch fire.

• Do not flambé food directly under the ex-

tractor hood. The flames pose the risk of
the grease filter catching fire. (see page 7
under maintenance and cleaning)

• Restrictions apply to the use of the ex-

tractor hood over a solid fuel or gas
stove. (See Preparing for installation on
page 3).

• Switch off the power at the mains in the

event of a fault or when cleaning the ex­tractor hood

• Do not touch any part of the light fittings

while they are in us e as they get very hot
and could cause severe burns.

Before use.

Before using your new extractor hood for
the first time, please read this manual care­fully. It contains important information con­cerning your personal safety as well as on
the use and care of the extractor hood.

• Remove all packaging (except the protec-

tive film on the two chimney sections)
and dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly manner.

• If the extractor hood is damaged in any

way, do not use it. Report the damage to
your dealer, who will take the necessary
corrective action. (Refer to Owner’s re­sponsibility on page 8 of this manual).

Safety advice.

• This extractor hood complies with all

relevant safety regulations.

•

The extractor hood is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons with­out supervision.

Electrical connection.

• The extractor hood uses a 220-

250V/50Hz power supply.

• If the mains power cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a qualified electri­cian.

• The power cord is located in the chimney

area. Should you require an installation
with no visible wiring, a 15 amp earthed
plug socket should be accessible in the
ceiling above the extractor hood. (A
qualified electrician should provide this
facility).

• The extractor hood must be earthed.

The manufacturer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any dam­age due to incorrect electrical connec­tion.

• This extractor hood may not be used

with a battery inverter power supply.

Preparing for installation.

2 Venting air to the outside.

• The extractor hood has the ability to:

• Recirculate the filtered air back into

the kitchen. Use this method where you
cannot vent though the ceiling

• Or to vent the filtered air through the

ceiling and to the outside.

• Decide on which option best suits you

before commencing with the installa­tion.

1 Recirculating filtered air.

• The extractor hood filters out solid par-

ticles before the air is recirculated, via
the vents on the side of the upper
chimney, into the kitchen.

• Care must be taken during installation

not to obstruct these vents.

• No ducting is required for this type of

installation.

When discharging the air into a ventila­tion shaft or directly through the wall
into the open , please take note of the fol­lowing:

• Exhaust air fro m the extractor hood
must not be directed into a flue or
chimney which is used for exhaust­ing the fumes or smoke from other
appliances burning gas or fuels.

• Please ensure that regulations con­cerning the discharge of exhaust air
have been fulfilled. (SABS IEC
60335-2-31).

For optimum extrac to r ho od eff ici ency u se a
short, smooth, round air exhaust pipe with
as few bends as possible A 150mm diameter
exhaust pipe is recommended. Long box
section, narrowed or bent pipes will hinder
performan ce an d in cr ease noise levels.

• Connecting a 150 mm diameter pipe:

Mount the pipe direct ly onto the air outlet
on the extractor hood.

• Connecting a 125 mm or 100mm di-

ameter pipe: Attach a reducing connec-

tor (available from a specialist retailer) to
the air pipe and then attach to the ex­haust-air duct.
