RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

Using your new Cooker Hood is very simple. Nevertheless, to get the best results it is important
that you read this manual thoroughly before installing and using your appliance for the first time.

INSTALLATION

• All installation and repairs should be carried out by a qualified
technician in accordance to regulations in force.

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting
from incorrect or improper installation.

• After having removed the packaging, check the condition of the
appliance, if in any doubt, do not use and contact Hotpoint Service
(see Key Contacts, back page).

• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the extractor
hood is 650 mm.

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.

• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply
guarantees adequate earthing.

• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum
diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying
combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).

• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances
(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation
must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of
exhaust gas. The kitchen must have a suitable vent to the outside
of the building, so that clear fresh air can circulate through the
kitchen.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use
to eliminate kitchen smells.

• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has ben
designed.

• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in
operation.

• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan
only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.

• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use:
overheated oil can burst into flames.

• When frying, never leave the pan unattended.

• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed
in its correct use.

650 mm min.

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off and unplug the appliance from the mains supply before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

• Clean regularly (see Care and Cleaning section), build up of dirt
and grease could cause a fire hazard.

Electrical Connection

WARNING: This appliance MUST be earthed. Connect to a 230 - 240V A.C. Supply only.

• Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible
wall socket which is adjacent to and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance and capable of
electrical isolation.

Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a
suitable plug as outlined below.

Note: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly
disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the

obvious consequent danger.

IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED

The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below, to a three pin plug of not less than 13
amp capacity. If a B.S.1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3amp fuse which is approved
to B.S.1362.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with
the following code:

GREEN and YELLOW - EARTH

BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE

CORD CLAMP 3amp FUSE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:- The wire which is green and
yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the
plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the
mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, DO NOT use 2-pin socket outlets,

if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a
qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size ie. 0.75mm
cross sectional area and temperature rating of 85°C eg. heat resisting PVC.

IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED

In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3amp ASTA approved fuse to B.S.1362 must
be fitted.
Note: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover
the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse
cover can be obtained from your local Electrical Retailer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
