• 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.

four recesses on the extractor hood, as
shown, using the M8 bolts supplied.

Step 3

extractor hood as shown.

• Slide the top chimney duct ( the one
with the louvers) into the lower chim­ney duct.

Step 4

• Remove the grease filters and lift the
extractor hood assembly and slot it into
the top extension adaptor.

• Adjust to a suitable height.

(minimum 750mm above the cooking
surface).

Optional Carbon pad filters.

• Carbon pad filters assist in removing any

unwanted cooking odours from the at­mosphere.

• If your installation ducts filtered air to the

outside, the carbon pad filters are not re­quired.

• Should you require them, factory ap-

proved, carbon pad filters and installation
kits may be purchased from your nearest

Maintenance and cleaning.

Important:
Before cleaning any part of the hood,
switch the power off at the mains.

Cleaning the metal grease filters.

• In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),

the metal grease filters must be cleaned
every 8 to 10 weeks.

• The filters may washed in a dish-

washer, however they may discolour
slightly.

• When hand cleaning the filters, soak

them in hot, soapy water to loosen the
grease.

• Brush with a stiff nylon brush.

• Rinse clean and allow to air dry before

re-fitting.

• If cleaning is not carried out in accor-

dance with the instructions, the accu­mulated grease could, over time, be­come a fire risk.

General cleaning.

Stainless steel is not adversely affected by
normal household use but because of its
reputation for durability, it is sometimes
assumed to be indestructible, and therefore
subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care
should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal
use’.

Cleaning materials.
Do use:

• A moist lint free soft cloth or synthetic

sponge.

• Soap, or mild liquid detergent.

• A mild window cleaner.

• Diluted ammonia in warm water.

• A nylon bristle brush.

• Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless

steel”.

Do not use:

• A steam cleaner.

• Acid, alcohol, soda, chloride or spirit

based cleaners.

• Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.

• Metallic scourers, steel wool, metal

scrapers, or plastic scouring pads.

• Wire brushes or emery paper.

• So called “silver cleaners”.

Cleaning procedure

• Frequent cleaning is recommended

rather than an occasional aggressive
clean.

• Routine cleaning will preserve the cor-

rosion resistance and the appearance of
the stainless steel for many years.

• Clean the stainless steel as often as nec-

essary (i.e. when it is noticeably dull or
dirty) and use the simplest cleaning
method that will effectively do the job.

• Use clean water, or a mild detergent so-

lution applied with a soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse well and wipe dry.

• Always wipe in the direction of the

brushed texture on the stainless steel.

• Periodically apply a fine film of dedi-

cated stainless steel cleaner or baby oil
to the canopy of the extractor hood to
add lustre and sparkle to the steel.

Owner’s responsibility.

NOTE: Since the following are not fac­tory faults, they are the owner’s respon­sibility.

• Damage to exterior finish.

• Breakage of glass and other compo-

nents.

• Replacement of the light bulbs.

• Damage through improper use or instal-

lation.

Problem check.

Before calling a service technician to as­sist with a problem please check:

• The main distribution board. See if a

circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has
blown.

• The wall socket.

• Have the filters been cleaned?

• Is the chimney blocked?

Remember that you may be charged for a
service call even during the warranty pe­riod if the fault is due to or caused by any
of the above.

Service.

• If you have followed the instructions

and still have a problem, contact the
nearest Defy Service Centre.

• (See list at right of page).

Other areas are serviced by over 200

authorised service agents.

Consult the nearest regional service

centre for details.
