If Cooker hood Does Not Operate ................................................................................................................... 11
There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the cooker hood
is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
The cooker hood works with
1. Air Extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.
The non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted on the exhaust socket of
the motor unit.
Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the
outside, cannot get back into the room again.
The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off.
When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours
to be ducted away.
2. Air Recirculation
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filters and then by a carbon filter. The
cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through the recirculation vents in
the top of the cooker hood chimney.
• Carbon filters are available as an optional extra.
• Before using the cooker hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the
carbon filters are in place. See “Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Your cooker hood has 3 levels of extraction. Depending on the cooking and frying steam, you should run the
cooker hood with "1" low, "2" medium or "3" high speed. To run the cooker hood, slide the motor speed selector
to the desired extraction speed on the front panel.
Slide the Motor speed selector to "0" to turn the unit off.
Hob Lighting
Your cooker hood has 2 lamps and 1 switch to control the illumination. Slide the Lamp switch to the ON position
(
) to switch the lamps on.
• Do not flambé under the cooker hood.
• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains power supply. Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the isolator, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected.
• The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
• All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using a little washing-up liquid applied with a damp soft
sponge or cloth.
Only use a damp cloth as water could get into the unit and cause damage.
• Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use:
• cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,
• abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as
pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents as these
will damage the surface material.
Grease Filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
1. To take out the grease filter, press the plastic
catch.
2. Pull aluminium filter downwards.
To avoid damaging the filters or
the hob below, make sure you hold
the filters securely at all times when
handling them.

Cleaning the Grease Filters by Hand
• Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not
use “neat” washing up liquid.
Do not use:
• cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
• powder cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
