Important safety information
It is most important that this guide should be retained with the

leave the appliance, always ensure that this guide is supplied
with the cooker hood in order that the new owner can get to
know the functionality and the relevant warnings.
These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety.
You MUST read them carefully before installation or use. If you
are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John
Lewis branch from which you purchased the cooker hood.
To avoid accidents to property or people it is important to
follow the instructions given. Failure to do so removes any
liability from John Lewis.
Warnings
• Any installation work must be undertaken by a qualifi ed
electrician or competent person.
• This is a class II electrical appliance and therefore no
earthing cable is required.
• If the cooker hood is installed for use above a gas appliance,
the provision for ventilation must be in accordance with the

a fuel burning appliance (such as a gas or oil fi red central
heating boiler), the boiler’s fl ue must be a room sealed or
balanced fl ue type. Alternatively, you should make sure that
there is adequate air inlet into the room at all times so that
fumes from the boiler are not drawn back into the room by
the cooker hood.

connected to an existing ventilation system which is being
used for any other purpose.

Care, cleaning and servicing
Note: Switch off and unplug the cooker hood before carrying
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Care and cleaning
Clean the interior and exterior casing using a cloth with water
and mild (neutral) detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or scouring pads when
cleaning the cooker hood as this may damage the stainless
steel fi nish.
Cleaning and replacing fi lters
This cooker hood is supplied with aluminium fi lters.
Aluminium fi lters
Aluminium fi lters are designed to absorb grease and dust
during cooking. They should be removed and cleaned at least
once every two months, or more often if you regularly fry
food.
The fi lters may discolour after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean they have to be replaced.
To clean the aluminium fi lters:
1 Remove aluminium fi lter (A).
2 Wash the fi lter in warm, soapy water.
3 Replace the fi lter in the cooker hood.
Charcoal fi lters (not supplied)
Charcoal fi lters are designed to absorb grease, dust and
unwanted odours during cooking. They are only required
when the cooker hood is used for recirculating (i.e. when it is
not ducted out).
Non-regenerable charcoal fi lters must be replaced at least
every four months.
To replace the charcoal fi lters:
1 Remove the aluminium panel (A).
2 Pull the fi lter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Replace the fi lter. The lugs in the plastic housing will hold
the fi lters in place.
4 Close the aluminium panel.
Replacement fi lters can be obtained from www.johnlewis.com.

Preparation for installation
The cooker hood must be mounted so that the minimum
distance between the fi lters and the gas or electric hob is
65cm.
The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be
connected to an existing ventilation system which is being used
for any other purpose.
We recommend an air exhaust tube which is the same
diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a two-part air
exhaust tube is used, the upper part must be placed outside
the lower part.
If installing this cooker hood between adjoining wall cabinets,
the wall cabinets must not overhang the hob.
Before beginning installation, remove the fi lters (see page 8).
This will make the unit easier to handle during installation.
Installing the cooker hood
1 Drill holes (A) 235mm apart to allow you to fi x the cooker
hood to the wall.
2 Fix the cooker hood to the wall and align it horizontally.
3 Adjust the width of the support bracket for the upper fl ue
and insert screws to attach it to the wall.
4 Connect the fl ange (C) to the air exhaust hole.
