the extraction mode.  
Page 4  
 
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Recycling Mode (Filtered)  
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in  
the recycling mode with the charcoal filter fitted.  
In the recycling mode the contaminated air  
enters the cooker hood through the grease  
filters and the charcoal filters to be purified and  
out into the kitchen through the grilles in  
chimney stack.  
Extraction Mode (Ducting)  
In the extraction mode the contaminated air  
enters the cooker hood and passes through the  
grease filters and out through the ducting into  
the atmosphere.  
To obtain the best performance when cooking it  
is advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a  
few minutes before you start cooking and leave  
it running for about 15 minutes after finishing.  
When used in the extraction mode the  
charcoal filters are not required.  
Never do flambé cooking under this  
cooker hood.  
Never leave frying pans unattended  
during use as overheated fats and oils  
can catch fire.  
Do not leave naked flames under the  
cooker hood.  
Ensure heating areas on your hob are  
covered with pots and pans when  
using the hob and cooker hood  
simultaneously.  
Page 5  
 
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Before carrying out any cleaning or  
maintenance isolate the cooker hood  
from the mains supply.  
The cooker hood must be kept clean,  
as a build up of fat or grease can be a  
fire hazard.  
External Cleaning  
Wipe over the cooker hood frequently with a  
cloth wrung out in warm soapy water using a  
mild detergent.  
Never use scouring pads or abrasive  
cleaners.  
Never use excessive amounts of water  
when cleaning particularly around the  
control panel.  
Metal Grease Filters  
The grease filters absorb grease and dust  
during cooking to help keep the cooker hood  
clean inside.  
Cleaning  
The filters must be washed once every  
month, using a normal household  
detergent; their compact dimension also  
enables them to be washed in a  
dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before  
replacing.  
Removing and replacing the filters  
Remove the filters one at a time, press  
against the metal actuator to release the  
spring catch as illustrated. When  
replacing, ensure that the handles face  
outwards.  
Charcoal Filter  
In the recirculation mode the charcoal filter  
absorbs smells and unwanted odours.  
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or  
regenerated, and must be replaced  
approximately every 4 months, or more  
frequently if the hood is subjected to heavy  
usage.  
Replacing the charcoal filter  
First remove the metal grease filters.  
Remove the saturated charcoal filter by  
releasing the fixing hooks as illustrated.  
Page 6  
 
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Position the new charcoal filter in the  
position marked and while holding the  
filter replace the fixing hooks as  
illustrated.  
This appliance can be a possible fire  
hazard if the grease and charcoal filters  
are not cleaned and replaced as  
recommended.  
Changing the Spot Lamps  
Remove the two screws fixing the lighting  
support.

pulling the lamp downwards.  
Replace the spot lamp by inserting the  
two pins at the base of the lamp into the  
holes in holder and pushing into position.  
Replace the lighting support, ensuring it is  
located correctly and fix back into position  
using the two screws.  
If one of the spot lamps has failed to function  
check that the lamp is fully seated into the lamp  
holder. If lamp failure has occurred then it  
should be replaced with a 12V 20W M262  
halogen spot lamp.  
Replacement filters and lamps can be  
obtained from your local Service Force  
Centre.

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD  
Extraction (Ducted)  
The cooker hood is more effective when  
installed in the extraction mode (ducted to the  
outside).  
Venting kits may be purchased through your  
retailer or DIY store or using the enclosed form,  
and must be evacuated through an outside vent  
of 125 (5ins) or 150mm (6ins).  
The ducting used must be manufactured from  
fire retardent material conforming to the  
relevant British Standard or DIN 4102-B1.  
ø 150  
ø 120  
When the cooker hood is ducted to the  
9
outside the charcoal filter must be removed.  
Fitting the Ducting  
Fit the 150mm (6ins) ducting to the  
spigot on top of the hood body as  
illustrated.  
When using 125mm (5ins) ducting fit  
item 9 and 10 on to the spigot on the top  
of the hood body as illustrated.  
For the best performance use the shortest  
possible run of ducting and we  
recommend the use of rigid pipe in  
preference to flexible hose as this will  
improve the flow of air while reducing  
turbulence, which causes causes noise  
and a loss of performance.  
If the room where the cooker hood is to be  
used contains a fuel burning appliance  
such as a central heating boiler, then its  
flue must be 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.  
The cooker ducting when fitted in the  
evacuation mode must never be  
connected to central heating flues,  
radiators or water heaters.  
Recirculation Mode  
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in  
the recirculation mode, with the charcoal filter  
fitted.  
In the recirculation mode contaminated air is  
passed through the charcoal filter to be purified  
and recirculated into the kitchen through the grille  
outlets on either side of the chimney.
