exhaust air.
If the hood is installed for use above a gas
appliance then the provision for ventilation
must be in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations 1994 No.1886
and the relevant building regulations. Details
are contained in the following British Standard
Codes of Practise BS.6172 BS.5440 and
BS.6891 Current Edition.
The fan motor of this cooker hood incorporates
a thermal cut-out device which will operate if
the cooker hood is installed below the
minimum height recommended in this booklet,
or if the motor becomes overheated. If the
cut-out device is acti-vated, switch off the fan

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Care should be taken when unpacking the
cooker hood to ensure that the fixing kit,
ducting spigot, blanking plate and literature
pack are retained with the hood.
The fixing kit comprises:
1- Wall/Suspended fixing template.
2- Wall fixing brackets.
4- Plastic rawl plugs.
4- Wall/Suspended fixing screws.
2- Shakeproof washers.
2- Security nuts.
POSITIONING
When installed above an electric cooking
appliance the minimum distance between the
surface of the hob elements and the lower
grille of the cooker hood must be 65cm (25 1/
2").
When installed above a gas cooking appliance
the minimum distance between the surface of
the hob pan supports and the lower grille of
the cooker hood must be 70cm (27 1/2").
However, if you are installing above a
Tricity Bendix hob the minimum distance
between the surface of the hob elements/
pan supports and the lower grille of the
cooker hood may be reduced to 60cm (23
5/8”)
When installed above a cooking appliance with
a high level grill the minimum distance between
the upper surface of the grill and the lower
grille of the cooker hood must be 45cm (17 3/
4").
The distance between the underside of
adjoining wall cabinets and the worktop must
not be less than 40cm (15 3/4").
WALL FITTING
The cooker hood may be fitted to any rigid
vertical surface. All the fittings supplied are to
be found in a polythene bag inside the carton.
IMPORTANT: Before installation check the wall
to which the cooker hood is to be fitted for
electric cables, water pipes or gas pipes before
drilling.
If it is necessary to fix the hood to a hollow construction plaster or partition board structure
then it must be sufficiently reinforced to be quite
rigid in the area of the cooker hood mounting
brackets. The hood must not be fitted using the
key hole fixing points but with the special
brackets supplied.
Use the paper template provided to mark the
hole positions on the wall for the bracket fixing
screws.
Check the hole distances are correct with a
tape measure as stated on the template.
At this stage it is important to allow 15mm (1/
2") clear space above the cooker hood to
enable it to be hooked onto the brackets and
for subsequent removal for decorating or
servicing.
When drilling the holes for the wall fixing
brackets care must be taken to ensure that
they are quite level as there is minimal vertical
height adjustment of the fixing brackets.
The brackets should be fitted with the round
end at the bottom using the plastic rawl plugs
and screws provided.
If the brackets are to be fitted to a hollow
plaster or partition board structure then the
plastic rawl plugs provided should not be used.
Once the brackets are secured lift the hood
squarely to the wall slightly higher than the
brackets and lower the cooker hood until the
cooker hood locates onto the two brackets.
Ensure that the cooker hood is correctly
located before letting go.
Access to the two wall levelling screws and
the security fixing system will require the
removal of the lower inlet grille that supports
the grease mat filter.
To remove the lower grille press inwardly on
the two slide catches located towards either
side of the grille near the front and the grille
will open from the front. The grille pivots at
the rear. Slide the right edge of the grille
forward until it clears the guide and then
unhook the left hinge pin.
Care should be taken to fully support the grille
when removing it from the guides.
The two wall levelling screws will be visible
toward either end of the back panel, visible
when the grille has been removed. Turn the
screws clockwise to lift the front edge of the
hood and use a spirit level to check the hood
is positioned at right angles to the wall before
fitting the security system.
The wall brackets have two studs and when
the cooker hood is hung onto the brackets
the studs project through the two holes above
the levelling screws.
When the hood is level fit the two shakeproof
washers and nuts supplied to fully secure the
cooker hood.

INSTALLATION Cont’d OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WALL CABINET FITTING
Before fitting the cooker hood beneath any
type of wall cabinet ensure it is firmly fixed to
the wall in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions.
Use the paper template provided to mark the
hole positions on the underside of the cabinet.
When marking the underside of the cabinet
the front edge of the template must be aligned
with the front edge of the cabinet carcase.
Check the distances of the holes are correct
with a tape measure as stated on the template.
The four holes are 5mm (1/4") dia.
A pad saw or similar cutter will be required to
cut the circular hole for the ducting spigot if it
is to be used.
Insert the fixing screws through the holes from
inside the cabinet. Supporting the cooker hood
tighten each screw about half way to ensure
that the cooker hood is correctly positioned
before fully tightening the screws.
DUCTING FITTING
If the hood is to be ducted to the outside then
the blanking plate supplied must be fitted in
the aperture that will not be used.
Fit the ducting spigot into the selected aperture
and make an air tight connection.
To fit the ducting spigot and blanking plate align
the inter-locking lugs on the fitting with the
recesses in the aperture and insert turning
clockwise to lock the spigot and blanking plate
into position.
The ducting used must be 100mm (4")
diameter and be manufactured from fire
retardent material conforming to the relevant
British Standard or DIN 4102-B1.
The cooker hood functions are controlled by
two slide switches and a change-over slider
control. The two slide switches, which are
located on the right hand side in the front
fascia panel, control the fan speed and
worktop illumination.
The change-over slider control is located inside
the hood behind the inlet grille immediately in
front of the lamp assembly.
Ensure the hood is in, or wired in and the
power supply is switched on.
The switch marked with the lamp symbol and
numbered 0-1 controls the worktop lighting.
Position -1 indicates the light is operating.
The switch marked with the fan symbol and
numbered 0-1-2-3 controls the fan speed, -1
Low, -2 Normal and -3 Boost.
Position -1 Should be selected when
simmering or when using one pan.
Position -2 Should be selected for normal
cooking up to four pans.
Position -3 Should be selected when frying
or cooking food with strong odour.
In the recirculation position, slider towards the
charcoal filter, air enters the cooker hood,
passes through the grease and charcoal filter
and out through the holes in front of the casing
top panel.
To convert the hood from extraction to
recircula-tion open the metal inlet grille and
slide the change-over control to the right.
Remove the thumb screw from the motor
support. Take the charcoal filter and place it
over the motor support and secure by passing
the thumb screw through the hole in the filter
and into the captivated nut in the centre of
the motor support.
In the ducting position, slider away from the
charcoal filter, the air passes through the
grease filter and out through ducting to the
atmosphere. When the ducting position is
selected, the charcoal filter is not required.
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not
be turned through very tight bends as this
could impair the performance of the hood. (The
maximum length of ducting including one 90
bend should be 3 metres, to be reduced by 1
metre for each 90 degree bend installed in
the duct run).
When the ducting mode is selected the
charcoal filter is not required.
NOTE: The hood is more effective when used
in the extraction (ducting) mode, therefore this
position should be selected during the warmer
o
months of the year when no room heating is
required. When the room is being heated if the
recirculation position is selected heat will not
be wasted.
To obtain the best performance it is advisable
to switch on the hood a few minutes before
you start cooking and leave it running for
approximately 15 minutes after finishing.
