the wall to which the cabinet/canopy is to be  
fitted.  
If the hood can only be fixed to a hollow  
construction plaster or partition board  
structure, then the wall must be sufficiently  
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the  
mounting brackets.  
To avoid the risk of accidents when fitting the  
canopy and chimney to the wall please read  
and follow the installation instructions.  
THERMAL CUT-OUT:  
The fan motor of this appliance incorporates a  
thermal cut-out device which will operate if  
the hood is installed below the minimum  
recommended heights listed above, or if the  
motor becomes overheated. If the cut-out  
device is activated, switch off the fan motor  
and allow the hood to cool.  
The cut-out device will reset itself when the  
fan motor has cooled significantly.  
For ease of installation proceed as follows:  
1. Fix the wall brackets.  
2. Fix the canopy hood.  
3. Connect the hood to the mains supply  
ensuring that the canopy is functioning  
correctly.  
4. Select the type of installation, ie. ducting or  
recirculation.  
5. Fix the chimney stack.  
NOTE: This hood has been designed and  
approved for installation over an electric hob  
with a maximum input of 7kW or a gas hob  
with a maximum input of 10kW when fitted in  
accordance with the heights recommended  
above.  
Your Cooker Hood can be installed either  
for recirculation or extraction through an  
outside wall.  
NOTE: The hood is more efficient in the  
exhaust mode, therefore, this position  
should be selected during the warmer

being used. When the room is being  
heated, if the recycle position is selected  
heat will not be wasted.  
IMPORTANT: The exhaust air must not be  
expelled through a smoke or waste-gas  
chimney which is in use or through a shaft  
used for ventilating rooms or into the  
cavity of a cavity wall or into a cupboard  
above the cooker hood.  
If the room contains, a flued fuel burning  
appliance, such as a gas or oil fired central  
heating boiler which is not of the Balanced  
Flue’type, you should make sure that there is  
adequate air inlet into the room at all times,  
so that fumes from the boiler are not drawn  
back into the room by the Cooker Hood.

WALL FIXINGS:  
FIXING THE CANOPY HOOD:  
Lower Fixings  
1. Remove the metal filters (Fig.1 4).  
2. Hang the hood canopy on the hooks  
(Fig.1 3). Adjust the position of the hood  
using the two screws at the bottom of the  
hooks (Fig.1 5).  
1. Draw a vertical line on the wall, from the  
centre of the cooking appliance, up to the  
ceiling. Check the line is vertical using a  
spirit level.  
2. Put the template provided on the wall and  
drill two ø12mm holes (Fig.1 2)  
3. Fit two hooks in the drilled holes (Fig.1 3).  
3. Whilst the hood is positioned, mark the  
two holes (Fig.1 6).  
4. Remove the hood and drill the two holes.  
Insert the wall plugs (Fig.1 7). Return the  
hood to the hooks and fix with the two  
screws.

RECIRCULATION:  
EXTRACTION:  
Ducting Fitting:  
The chimney hood is supplied specified for  
installation in the extraction mode. To convert The chimney hood can be ducted to the out-  
to recirculation it will be necessary to obtain  
the optional pack of two carbon filters.  
In the recirculation mode, contaminated air  
enters the chimney hood and passes through  
the grease filters and carbon filters and then  
out into the kitchen through two grilles, at  
either side of the lower chimney.  
side, using either rigid or flexible ducting of  
100mm, 120mm or 150mm. the choice of  
ducting is left to the discretion of the installer,  
however, the best performance will be  
obtained by using 150mm of rigid ducting.  
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not  
be turned through very tight bends as this  
could impair the performance of the hood.  
The ducting must be manufactured from fire  
retardant material conforming to the relevant  
British Standard or DIN 4102-B1.  
To convert the chimney hood to recirculation  
proceed as follows:  
1. To fit the carbon filters, open the metal  
grease filters. Place one filter over the inlet  
grille at either end of the fan housing and  
twist into position (Fig.2).  
Where the 125mm ducting is used, it will be  
necessary to install the reduction flange and  
125 ÷ 125mm ducting collar over the air out-  
let in the top of the canopy (Fig.4).  
Fig.2  
Fig.4  
The installer should provide suitable ducting  
and sealing tape for the installation.  
The (optional) carbon filter is not required  
when the hood is installed in the ducting  
mode.  
2. Fit the recirculation spigot over the round  
outlet on top of the canopy, whilst  
pressing down on the spigot (Fig.3).  
Fig.3  
NOTE: The two venting grilles must not be  
fitted into the chimney stack until the  
chimney stack has been installed onto the  
wall above the canopy.

Installing your Cooker Hood  
Fitting the Chimney Stack:  
To fit the upper chimney section, first expand  
the chimnet slightly to allow it to be fitted  
over the wall brackets. Then secure the upper  
section using the four self tapping screws  
provided.  
The lower chimney section should be located  
following instructions on page 6, ensuring  
that the lugs in the base of the chimney are  
seated into the two recesses on either side of  
the canopy (Fig.5).  
Fig.5  
ATTENTION: Should the lower chimney  
section subsequently be removed, the two  
securing lugs in the top canopy must be  
released.  
Once the chimney stack has been installed, fit  
the two venting grilles into the apertures  
located on either side of the lower chimney  
stack. The grilles are marked with two arrows  
and should be fitted with one arrow pointing  
upwards and the other towards the front.  
When used in the recirculation mode, ensure  
the grilles are properly secured to the  
recirculation spigot.

Caring for your Cooker Hood  
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the  
filters or light bulb, always ensure that the  
electricity supply to the Cooker Hood is  
switched OFF.  
THE CARBON FILTER (2 pieces) -  
(Recirculation Model only...)  
The carbon filter absorbs odours arising from  
the cooking. In use, the filter will slowly  
become saturated and gradually less effective.  
The filter will normally require changing every  
four months, depending on the amount and  
type of cooking.  
Filters and their replacement:  
THE METAL GREASE FILTERS -  
The grease filters are fitted to absorb grease  
and dust during cooking to help keep the  
appliance clean inside.  
NOTE: The carbon filter must never be  
washed.  
The metal filters must be cleaned frequently,  
at least once every thirty days of normal use.  
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -  
1. Remove the grease filters.  
2. Place one filter on each side so that they  
cover the grates protecting the rotor on  
the motor.  
The filters should be handwashed in hot  
soapy water. Alternatively they could be  
washed in a dishwasher.  
3. Turn the centre handle (Fig.7) clockwise  
until filters are fixed in position.  
After cleaning the filters, dry thoroughly  
before reinstalling.  
Fig.7  
IMPORTANT:There could be a possible fire  
hazard if the grease filter is not cleaned  
when necessary and according to these  
instructions.  
TO REMOVE THE GREASE FILTERS -  
Release the catches on the filter (Fig.6), then  
the filter can be removed.  
The 900mm wide model has three metal  
filters.  
4. Refit the grease filters.  
Before refitting the filters ensure that they are  
perfectly dry.  
TO REPLACE THE CARBON FILTERS -  
1. Remove the grease filters.  
2. Turn the centre handle (Fig.7) anti-  
clockwise until the filters are released.  
3. Fit new carbon filters as above.  
4. Refit grease filters.

Caring for your Cooker Hood  
Cleaning:  
For your own safety and in the interest of  
hygiene your Cooker Hood needs to be kept  
clean. A build up of grease or fat from  
cooking could cause a fire hazard.  
Never use excessive amounts of water when  
cleaning, particularly around the control panel  
area.  
The metal casing and grille assembly should  
be cleaned at least once a month to keep it  
looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth,  
wrung out in warm water and dry with a clean  
soft cloth. Wear protective gloves.  
You can use mild non-abrasive cleaners but  
always read the manufacturers instructions  
first. Always test their suitability on a small  
area of the Cooker Hood not noticeable in  
normal use.  
NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or  
abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the  
surface.  
How to replace the light:  
Should the light fail to work, switch Off’the  
mains supply to the Hood.  
First, remove the grease filters.  
Remove the lamp cover and first check the  
bulb is screwed securely into the lamp holder  
then switch On’ at the mains supply.  
If the light still fails to work do not worry, it  
will not affect the working of your hood.  
Obtain a replacement 40 Watt max (E14).  
Switch Off’the mains supply. Unscrew the old  
bulb anti-clockwise to remove and replace  
with the new bulb turning clockwise until  
secure.  
Refit the lamp cover nd the grease filters and  
switch back On’at the mains supply.  
NOTE: When changing the bulb, an  
identical replacement must be fitted to  
ensure the safe operation of the hood.
