• When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a
pan. Switch the cooking zone o when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
• Regulate the ame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan.
• Do not allow the pans to overheat excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
• The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.
• Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may
collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
• When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended.
Never leave an open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set
the cooker hood on re.
• Do not use the cooker hood without the lters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease
and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
• The lters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated lters are a re hazard.
See "Cleaning and Maintenance".
• The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease lters until the cooker hood has cooled down.
• Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this appliance. Steam could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Technical safety
• Before installation, check the cooker hood for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous.
• Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency
details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualied electrician if in any doubt.
• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an eective earthing system complies with the current local and national safety
regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly,
and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualied
electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing
system (e.g. electric shock).
• For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used when it has been fully installed.
• Only open the housing as described in the instructions. Under no circumstances should any
other parts of the housing be opened. Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user, and can cause operational faults.
• Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by an authorised person in
accordance with the current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by
unqualied persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
• Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine original parts.
5
• During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the
mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
a) it is switched o at the isolator, or
b) the mains fuse is disconnected, or
c) it is switched o at the wall socket and the plug withdrawn, or
d) the fuse of the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). This
appliance may only be used in mobile installations if a risk assessment of the installation has been
carried out by a suitably qualied engineer.
• In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular
attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Using at the same time as other heating
appliances that depend on the air from
the same room.
WARNING:
Danger of toxic fumes.
• Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room
or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room. Such
appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-red boilers and heaters, continuous ow or other water
heaters, gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out
through a chimney or extraction ducting.
• When used in extraction mode, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed
and from neighbouring rooms.
• If there is insucient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of
oxygen, impairing combustion.
• Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with
potentially fatal consequences.
• In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given o by the heating appliances
from being drawn back into the room when the cooker hood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.
6
• Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets
which must not be blocked, in windows,
doors and outside wall vents, or by other
technical measures, such as ensuring that
the cooker hood can only be switched on
when the heating appliance is switched o
or vice versa. A ventilation brick alone is not
generally sucient to ensure safe ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into account. If in any
doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a qualified gas fitter (Gas Safe
registered in the UK) must be sought.
• If the only way of ensuring adequate ventilation is via an open window, a window contact switch
should be tted to ensure that the cooker hood can only operate when the window is opened
suciently. A window contact switch kit is available from good builders' merchants. Take care
when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed
blind or curtain. If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not
apply.
If in any doubt , the advice of a qualified builder, gas fitter (Gas Safe registered in the UK)
or electrician must be sought.

Correct Installation
• Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be
operated above the cooker/hob.
• The minimum safe distances between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker
hood given in the Installation section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob/cooker
manufacturer states that a greater safe distance is required.
• If more than one appliance is tted beneath the cooker hood, and they have dierent minimum
safe distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
• Safety regulations prohibit the tting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.
• All ducting, pipework and ttings must be of non-ammable material. These can be obtained from
builders' merchants.
• The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent ue which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with replaces.
• If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other
purposes, seek professional advice.
Accessories
• Only use genuine original spare parts and accessories with this appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these
Warning and Safety instructions.
