Installation

• Any installation work must be undertaken by a

qualified electrician or competent person.

• This hood must be installed in accordance with
the installation instructions and all
measurements adhered to.

• If the cooker hood is installed for use above a
gas appliance then the provision for ventilation
must be in accordance with the Gas Safety
Code of Practice BS.6172, BS.5440 and
BS.6891 (natural gas) and BS.5482 (LP gas)
1994, the Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by
the Dept. of the Environment, the Building
Standards (Scotland) (Consolidated)
Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.

• The fan motor of the cooker hood incorporates
a cut-out device, which will operate if the cooker
hood is installed below the minimum height
recommended in the Technical Information
section, or if the motor becomes overheated.
If the cut-out device is activated, switch off the
motor and allow the hood to cool. The cut-out
device will reset itself when the fan motor has
cooled.

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

• When installed between adjoining wall cabinets,

central heating boiler then its flue must be of
the room sealed or balanced flue type.

• If other types of flue or appliances are fitted
ensure that there is an adequate supply of air
to the room.

• When the hood is used in conjunction with
appliances supplied with energy other than
electricity, the negative pressure in the room
must not exceed 0.04mbar to prevent fumes
being drawn back into the room by the hood.

• The ducting system for this appliance must not
be connected to any existing ventilation system
which is being used for any other purpose.

• Do not install above a cooker with a high level
grill.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

S36_29

S36_30

G1 G1

Before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning
isolate the cooker hood from
the mains supply.

Metal grease filters

It is necessary to wash these filters at least every two
months with warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added. Their compact size means that
they can be washed in the dishwasher.
Replace the metal grease filters by removing the filter
retaining clips (see below).

Carbon filters

The carbon filters have to be replaced when they are
saturated, they cannot be cleaned and reused. They
should be replaced after approximately 4 months, or
sooner if the hood is used intensively.
To replace the carbon filters, remove the grease filters
and then the carbon filters push inwards on the two
retaining clips (G1) and disengage the security fixing
and remove.

Light

The light consists of 2 x 20W halogen spotlights.
To replace the lights, remove the two screws that lock
the metal ring in place.
Take the spotlight out of the holder by pulling gently.
When replacing, ensure that the screws are firmly
inserted back in place.

The cooker hood must be kept
clean, a build up of grease or fat
can be a fire hazard.

S36_31

External Cleaning

Any fat deposits should be removed regularly, at least
every two months. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive
cleaning products.

To clean the outside of the cooker hood, use a cloth
dipped in lukewarm water to which a small amount of
washing up liquid has been added.

The inside of the appliance should be cleaned with a
soft cloth or brush dipped in warm soapy water.
