To Operate

Select the required fan speed and light if required.

Recirculation

In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood through the grease filters. The air is
cleaned by passing through the charcoal filters
before being passed back into the kitchen through
the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.

Extraction

In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease filters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after finishing.

When used in the ducting mode the charcoal
filters are not required.

Never do flambé cooking under this cooker
hood.

Never leave frying pans unattended during
use, as over-heated fat and oil can catch fire.

Do not leave naked flames under the cooker
hood.

Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered
with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.

The cooker hood must be kept clean, as a
build up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.

External Cleaning

Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm
soapy water using a mild detergent.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning particularly around the control panel.

Metal Grease Filters

The grease filters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside,
and should be cleaned approximately once every
month or more often if the hood is used for more
than 3 hours a day.

Remove the metal grease filters
one at a time by:

Releasing the catches on the filters, the
filters can be removed.

The metal grease filters should be washed, by
hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher. Allow
to dry completely before replacing.

6

Charcoal Filters

In the recirculation mode the charcoal filters
absorb smells and unwanted odours.

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, we
recommend they should be replaced
approximately every three months or more often
if the hood is used for more than three hours per
day.

To Remove/Replace the
Charcoal Filters

1. First remove the metal grease filters.

2. Rotate the charcoal filter anti-clockwise
(B) and remove.

3. To replace the charcoal filters, remove
the metal grease filters.

4. Place the filter over the inlet grille at
either end of the fan housing and rotate
clockwise (A) into position.

This appliance can be a possible fire
hazard if the grease and charcoal filters
are not cleaned and replaced as
recommended.

Changing the Light Bulb

1. First remove the metal grease filters.

2. The light bulbs can be reached from
inside the canopy.

3. Rotate the light bulb anti-clockwise to
unscrew.

4. To replace the light bulb insert a
replacement into the holder then rotate
the bulb clockwise into position. Ensure
you take care not to overtighten the
bulb.

If the light bulb fails to function check that the
bulb is fully screwed into the holder. If bulb
failure has occurred then it should be replaced
with a 220-240 Volt 40W clear globe shaped
bulb with a small E14 screw thread.

Replacement filters and light bulbs can be
obtained from your local Service Force Centre.
