Description.
• The extractor hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and passes them through
the grease filter.
• 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 either in
the ceiling above the extractor hood or on
the wall behind the chimney area.
(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 may not be used with a
battery inverter power supply.

Preparing for installation.
The extractor hood has the ability to either recirculate the filtered air back into
the kitchen, or to vent the filtered air
through an outside wall.
Decide on which option best suits you before commencing with the installation.
• The extractor hood is intended to be
mounted onto a flat perpendicular kitchen
wall capable of supporting the weight of
the hood. (approximately 26 kg.)
Tools required for installation:
• An electric drill.
• A 3.5 mm dia. steel drill bit.
• 8mm and 5mm dia. masonry drill bits
• A star screw driver (Posi bit 2).
• A ratchet with a 10mm socket and a
100mm extension.
• A tape measure, masking tape and a
pencil.

Care must be taken during installation not
to obstruct these vents.
No ducting is required for this type of installation.
Venting air to the outside.
When discharging the air into a ventilation shaft or directly through the wall
into the open , please take note of the following:
• Exhaust air from the extractor hood
must not be directed into a flue or
chimney which is used for exhausting
the fumes or smoke from 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 extractor hood efficiency use
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
performance and increase noise levels.
• Connecting a 150 mm diameter pipe:
Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet
on the extractor hood.
Re-circulating filtered air.
The extractor hood filters out solid particles
before the air is re-circulated, via the vents
on the side of the upper chimney, into the
kitchen.

ets push the 5mm wall plugs through
the bracket holes and then insert the
plugs together with the brackets into
the wall holes and fasten securely.
• Push the larger wall plugs into the hood
mounting holes ensuring that they are
flush with the surface.
• Partially screw two 6mm screws into
the wall plugs leaving them to protrude
about 10mm.
• Take the template card and separate the
ceiling mounting template from the hood
mounting template by cutting along the
indicated line.
• Using masking tape, stick the ceiling
mounting template to the wall directly
below the ceiling and centered on the

Operation.
• Select the fan speed you require.
• Push button 3 for high extraction level,
2 for medium and 1 for low. The fan indicator light will glow and the fan will
operate at the selected setting.
• To switch off the fan, push the fan off
button marked 0.
• If required, you may illuminate the
cooking area by switching the hood
lights on.
• Leave the hood running for a short pe-
riod after the cooking has been completed to clear any smoke and odours.
Replacing the light bulbs.
• Switch off the electricity supply.
• If the bulb has recently failed, it
might still be very hot. Allow the glass
cover to cool before attempting to remove the bulb.
• Hold the glass cover and unclip the re-
taining ring by inserting a finger nail
along the outer edge and pulling down.
• Be careful not to let the glass cover fall.
• Replace the light bulb with a commer-
cially available OSRAM 12V 20W

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.
