• The fan motor of this cooker hood incorporates a cut­out device which will operate if the cooker hood is
installed below the minimum height recommended
under section ‘Clearance Height’, or if the motor
becomes overheated. If the cut-out device is
activated, switch off the fan motor and allow the
cooker hood to cool. The cut-out device will reset
itself when the fan motor has cooled significantly.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify
this product in any way.

• When installed between adjoining wall cabinets the
wall cabinets must not overhang the hob.

Child Safety

• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.

• Never leave frying pans unattended during use as
over-heated fats and oils might catch fire.

• Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.

• Do not leave naked flames under the hood.

Maintenance and Service

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant
odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

Cooker Hood Controls

The cooker hood functions are controlled by three slider
switches which are located in a fold away control box

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.

4

The appliance can be installed to recirculate or extract
contaminated air. However, the cooker hood is more
effective in the extraction mode.

Recirculation

The contaminated air is cleaned by passing through the
filters and then back into the kitchen.

Extraction

The contaminated air enters the hood passing through
the grease filter and out through the ducting to the
atmosphere.

When the ducting position is selected
the charcoal filter is not required.
Never do flambé cooking under this
cooker hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended during use
as over-heated fats and oils can catch fire.
Do not leave naked flames under the
cooker hood.

Ensure the visor is open when using the
hob even if the fan on the hood is not
switched on.

Ensure heating areas on your hob are
covered with pots and pans when using
the hob and cooker hood simultaneously.

5

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible to an engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

All installations must comply with the
local authorities requirements for the
discharge of exhaust air.

Incorrect installation may affect the
safety of this cooker hood.

Installation Requirements

Before installation check the wall to
which the cooker hood is to be fitted for
electric cables, water pipes or gas.

Ducting

The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm (5ins) in
diameter and the length should be nomore than:

3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the
hood and reduce the airflow.

Clearance Height

The cooker hood is designed to be fitted over a cooking
appliance at the clearance heights stated, providing the
maximum output of the appliance beneath does not
exceed the maximums quoted in the Technical
Specifications.

If the output of the appliance below the cooker hood
exceeds the maximum outputs quoted, please refer to
the cooker manufacturer’s installation instructions.

11

Clearance Height

A minimum clearance height of 650mm (251/2”) is
required when installed above a built-in electric hob, or
700mm (271/2”) when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A minimum clearance height of 685mm (27”) is required
when installed above a slot-in electric oven, or 787mm
(301/2”) when installed above a slot-in gas oven.

When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the wall
cabinets must not overhang the hob and the distance
between the underside of the cabinet and the worktop
must be 450mm. If the height of the wall cabinet is less
than 450mm, a gap of 50mm must be maintained either
side of the hob.

This cooker hood must not be installed above
a cooking appliance with a high level grill.

Unpacking

Before unpacking the cooker hood position the carton
with the arrows pointing upwards as illustrated on the
carton.

Positioning

This cooker hood is designed to be fitted into a cabinet
which should have a minimum depth 28 cm and width
60 cm.

Venting

The hood is more effective when used in the extraction
setting (ducted to the outside).

Venting kits maybe purchased through your retailer
or DIY store, and must be ducted to an outside vent
of 100mm (4”) minimum.

The ducting used must be manufactured
from fire retardant material which should
conform to the relevant British Standard
or DIN4102-B1.

Hob

A: Built-in Electric Hob: 650mm minimum clearance
B: Built-in Gas hob: 700mm minimum clearance
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm minimum clearance
D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm minimum clearance

When the hood is ducted externally the charcoal filter
must be removed and the slider control must be in the
ducting position.

12

Insert the ducting spigot into the aperture on the top of
the cooker hood casing.

Fitting the Wall Cabinet

If it is necessary to fix the kitchen cabinet to a hollow
construction plaster or partition board structure then it
must be sufficiently reinforced to be strong enough to
support the weight of the cooker hood.

Wall Cabinet Preparation

Position the cooker hood upside down, ensuring the
cooker hood is supported. Open the visor and remove
the two metal grease filter cassettes (see maintenance
and cleaning section).

Mark the position for the cut-out for the cooker hood on
the underside of the kitchen cabinet. The cut-out should
measure, lenght 503 mm by depth 162 mm.

Mark the position for the cut-out for the ducting on the
top of the kitchen cabinet ensuring that the centre of the
hole aligns with the centre of the ducting spigot.

A pad saw or similar cutter will be required to cut the
rectangular hole for the cooker hood and the circular
hole for the ducting spigot.

Before inserting the cooker hood inside the cabinet
ensure a hole has been provided to route the mains
cable.

Securing the cooker hood to the wall
cabinet

1. Insert the upper casing of the cooker hood

through the hole from the underside of the cabinet
ensuring that the butterfly bracket screws have
been loosened sufficiently to allow the wings to
be folded back.

2. Tighten the butterfly bracket screws, by rotating

the screws clockwise.

3. If further alignment of the cooker hood is required

the lower section of the casing can be adjusted
horizontally, backwards and forwards.

13

To adjust the lower casing

1. Pull out the visor.

2. Loosen the two screws immediately in front and

behind the butterfly bracket screws.

3. Once the screws have been loosened the lower

section of the hood can be moved backward and
forward.

This will allow the alignment of the decor trim with the
wall cabinet above.

Care should be taken when carrying out
the above operation not to loosen the
screws too far, and to ensure that the
casing is supported at all times.

Fitting the Control Panel

The control panel support should be located on the right
hand side in the channel on the underside of the hood.

Using the screws provided secure the control box support
into the pre-drilled hole.

Clearance Height

The cooker hood can be concealed behind a
decor panel by removing the factory fitted front
strip and fitting a length of lighting pelmet.

To remove the front strip

1. Open the visor.

2. Remove the three screws from the reverse side.

3. Drill the new front strip ensuring the holes are

aligned correctly.

4. Fix the new front strip with the screws provided.
