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 8
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 9 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 hood 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 16 to 26 kg depending on the model).
Tools required for installation:
• An electric drill.
• A 3.5 mm diam. steel drill bit.
• 8mm and 5mm diam. masonry drill bits
• A star screw driver (Posi 2).
• A ratchet with a 10mm socket and a
100mm extension.
• A tape measure, masking tape and a pen-
cil.

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 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 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.
Recirculating filtered air.
The extractor hood filters out solid particles
before the air is recirculated, via the vents
on the side of the upper chimney, into the
kitchen.

• Connecting a 125 mm or 100mm diameter pipe: Attach a reducing connec-
tor (available from a specialist retailer)
to the air pipe and then attach to the exhaust-air duct.
