Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials, which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!

Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible.

Ensure that electrical current is

switched off to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out

by a suitably qualified engineer or

electrician. Domestic repairs or

attempted repairs will void the

warranty.

The warranty of this appliance is not transferable to another party, i.e.: when another person or persons moves into a property where the appliance is already installed. However if the home is of a new build and has been installed as part of the new home then the warranty is valid by the home builder and a valid receipt should be obtained from them up on completion of sale.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials that, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of your

old appliance with your household

waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling center and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to personal injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, please read these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. They contain important information on the safety, installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and ensure that all users are familiar with the contents. Pass them on to any future owner of the appliance.

Correct usage

This appliance is intended for domestic use only.

Luxair cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper or incorrect use of the appliance. Warranty is not valid if installed in the following locations. Pubs. Clubs. Restaurants or cafes. Schools. Business restaurants or buildings or used for commercial gain.

Technical safety

Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure

that the connection details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply; otherwise the appliance could get damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any

doubt.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system that complies with local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly tested, and where there is in any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Installation, maintenance and

repair work may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorized work.

Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the electricity supply when: – It is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug withdrawn,

– The fuse from the fused spur

connection unit is withdrawn, – The mains fuse is withdrawn, or

– The screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

Do not connect the appliance

to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.

danger of overheating). In countries where there are 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. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Never use an open flame

beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame under the cooker hood. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard. When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. The burner should be switched off before

taking a pan off the hob, even for brief periods.

Regulate the flames so that they do not extend beyond the base of the pan. If flames are not covered by a pan excessive heat can build up in the cooker hood with the risk of damage to the motor unit. 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 fire.

Do not use the cooker hood without the grease filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.

The grease filter should be

regularly cleaned. A saturated filter is a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care”. For further information.

Do not use a steam-cleaner to

clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never use spray cleaners directly around the controls or buttons, this could also cause damage to the internal circuit board.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

This appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions it is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away, and do not allow them to play with it or use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Please be aware that on appliances with halogen lighting, the lamps will get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after switching off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the lamps at all times. For instructions on changing bulbs, please refer to maintenance sector in this booklet.

Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation. Dispose of or recycle all packaging safely as soon as possible.

Installation

The distance between the top of the cooker/hob and the bottom of the cooker hood canopy must measure at least 365 mm, unless a greater distance is specified by Luxair.

If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel

stoves.

All ducting, pipe work and fittings must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the Luxair web site or from local builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be

connected to a chimney or vent flue, which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting, which ventilates rooms with fireplaces. If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, seek advice.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the 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-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow 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, with or without an external motor, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed and from neighboring rooms. If there is insufficient air, an Under pressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.

In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an under pressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets, which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice-versa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient 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 "Corgi" installer, must be sought.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Warning and Safety instruction

Important: To avoid the danger of toxic fumes please observe the Warning and Safety instructions. This is especially crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance, which relies on air from the same room. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.

– All ducting, pipe work and fittings

must be of non-flammable materials.

– The exhaust ducting should be as

short and straight as possible.

– To ensure efficient air extraction, the

diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 125 mm.

If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is used, the noise level of the cooker hood will increase and extraction will be less efficient.

Never reduce the diameter of the ducting, e.g. where narrower ducting has already been installed.

– Only use wide radius bends. Tight

bends reduce the air throughput of the cooker hood.

– Only use smooth pipes or flexible

hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection.

– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into

a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.

Warning: Luxair will not exchange or repair damaged hoods caused by incorrect ducting being fitted, the minimum ducting must not be smaller than 125mm. never use ducting previously installed from your last extractor unit.

Warning Ducted out hoods

Please take notice of the following

All Luxair cooker hoods must be fitted with 125mm-150mm ducting, this must not be reduced in any way for the entire length of its run, it must also not exceed 3.5mtrs in length from the top of the motor housing connection to the outside vent plate (applies to all wall mounted and island models).

125 or 150 mm ducting

Ducting must be fitted to the out-side of the reducer collar and secured with a zip fastener, also the ducting must be aluminium and conform to fire regulations. Kits can be purchased

The minimum height setting measuring from the underside of the extractor, to the top of the gas hob is 750mm And 650mm on electric hobs, please note that when using a hob larger than 60cm please set the minimum height to 750mm.

Warning: Luxair will not cover the warranty if you have installed the cooker hood on either, 100mm ducting, or an old or existing ducting used by a previous appliance.

Cutting Down Chimney Sections

Luxair recommend that the following procedure be carried out by a qualified and competent person, cutting the extended chimney sections requires care and should only be attempted by a competent or qualified person.

Warning:

Luxair cannot be held liable for damage caused by carelessness when modifying the chimney sections; any modification damage caused by modifying this appliance is purely at your own risk. Your statuary rights are not affected

100mm

It is recommended that the maximum you can cut from the chimney sections is 200mm, this would be done as diagram above on all wall mounted hoods, taking 100mm from the top section and 100mm from the bottom section using Sharpe tin snips. Or electric snipers.

100mm

When cutting down chimney sections on Island hoods it is recommended that the hood is taken to a professional metal fabricator, they often have laser cutting equipment that can make the job easier, however if you attempt the job directly then electric tin nibblers should do the job. Follow instructions opposite.

housing are not obstructed by fallen

Please note that extra noise levels can be a problem when the hood is mounted onto a stud or partition wall, the hollowness of these type of walls echo the sound thus increase noise levels.

Before You Call Us (Non Ducted)

If your cooker hood is not ducted to

an outside wall and you are

experiencing vibration, then please

check the following.

The above chimney section must be

used when it is not possible to

section has not been used then

contact the person who installed

your hood and correct the problem.

Please note that in conjunction with

Please Note: When using charcoal filters the extraction rate will be 1/3 less than ducted out hoods.

Before You Call Us (poor Extraction)

Poor extraction is caused by a

number of reasons, below are some

tips and hints to help eliminate such

problems.

Ducting can cause poor extraction if,

the ducting is run too far, over the

recommended 3.5mtrs. 5.5 mtrs on

island hoods

this can also add to vibration if the

vertical lift is higher than 2.5mtrs, air

becomes heavy and caused a down

fall or return, thus

Causing the motor to reverse and

vibrate.

If your ducting has too many bends

Pleas note:

Luxair install motors as stadered 650

cbm ph motors, in most domestic

installations this is suffice, however

we will provide at an extra cost a

higher exraction motor of 850 cmtr if

you require a higher extraction rate.

or elbows this can also cause poor

extraction rates, please note that

every time you use an elbow or bend

in the ducting run, you will lose up to

a third 1/3 of its extraction rate per

elbow. Try to avoid too many bends.

This will not include the cost of

installation and will be charged as an

extra. For advise please call our

sales advise team on further

information.

Before You Call Us (poor Extraction)

Turn the hood on at speed 1, Take an

A4 piece of paper and place it flat on

your hand, then offer it up to the

metal grease filters, place the paper

Up against the filters and remove

your hand, the paper should stay in

place, if it does not then you need to

check the ducting or call the person

who installed the hood.

Never install Luxair hoods with

ducting smaller than 125mm, if you

are replacing an existing extractor,

never use the old ducting system

previously installed, they are more

often than not only 100mm in size

and cold be damaged your new

Cleaning And Care

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that:

– it is switched off at the wall socket

and the plug withdrawn, or

– the fuse is withdrawn from the

fused spur connection unit, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable).

General notes

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 Luxair E-Cloth, or wit h w arm wa ter a nd a lit t le washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

• Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

–

– Abrasive cleaning agents e.g.

powder cleaners or cream cleaners, and abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material.

Important for appliances with stainless steel housing

(This information does not apply to the controls).

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned

using the Luxair E-Cloth, or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel such as baby oil or olive oil can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and apply sparingly with an even pressure in the direction of the "grain".

Controls

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.

Do not use:

– Cleaning agents containing soda,

acids, chlorides or solvents,

The controls may suffer discoloration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove soiling straight away.

Never spray cleaning products directly at the control or switch panels.

Please observe the General notes on cleaning.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Glass surfaces

Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass.

Avoid oven sprays.

To avoid damaging the filter or the hob below, make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.

To remove the Grease Filter.

Pull the plate down towards you at the top, push the bottom slightly to the right and pull forwards to remove (see illustration).

Cleaning the grease filter by hand

• Clean the filter 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,

– Alkaline cleaning agents (with a pH

value higher than 7), such as powder cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive all-purpose cleaning agents,

– Oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher

• Place the filter with the short side

upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65° programme using a mild Dishwasher detergent; ensuring the

spray arm is not obstructed. Avoid alkaline dishwasher detergents (with a pH value higher than 7).

Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discoloration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.

• After cleaning, leave the filter to dry

for a while on an absorbent surface

before putting it back in place.
