OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. The appliance can be installed to recirculate or extract contaminated air.

Control Panel

The hood can be switched on pushing directly onto the requested speed without ???rstly having

to select 0/1 button.

S1

To Operate

Select the required fan speed and light if required.

Recirculation

In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters the cooker hood through the grease ??? lters. The air is cleaned by passing through the charcoal ??? lters before being passed back into the kitchen through the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.

Extraction

In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters the cooker hood passing through the grease ??? lters and is passed 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 ??? nishing.

When used in the ducting mode the charcoal ??? lters are not required. Never do ??? amb?? cooking under this cooker hood.

Never leave frying pans unattended during use, as over-heated fats and oils can catch ??? re. Do not leave naked ??? ames under the cooker hood.

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

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

Clearance Height

The cooker hood is designed to be ??? tted 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 Speci- ??? cations.

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

A clearance height of 650mm (25 1/2 ???) is required when installed above a built-in electric hob, or 700mm (27 1/2 ???) when installed above a built-in gas hob.

A clearance height of 685mm (27???) is required when installed above a slot-in electric cooker, or 787mm

(30 1/2 ???) when installed above a slot-in gas cooker.

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.

The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it should be installed at the distances quoted for the appropriate heat source.

This appliance can be used in either extraction mode (ducting) or recycling mode (??? ltering).

The hood is supplied suitable for recirculation with the charcoal ??? lters ??? tted.

When used in the extraction mode (ducting) the charcoal filters are not required and must be removed and destroyed.

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD

Fitting the Hood Body

Before starting to ??? x the hood body, tighten the two screws Vr located on the top of the hood body.

Hook the hood body onto the two screws item 12a (not supplied).

Fully tighten the screws item 12a.

Using a screw driver and spirit level, adjust the screws item Vr until the hood body is level.

Extraction

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

Venting kits may be purchased through your retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted to an outside vent of ??125mm (5???) or ??150mm (6???).

The ducting used must be manufactured from ??? re retardent material conforming to the relevant British Standard or DIN 4102-B1.

When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside the charcoal ??? lter must be removed.

Recirculation

The cooker hood is supplied speci??? ed for use in the recirculation mode, with the charcoal ??? lter ??? tted.

In the recirculation mode contaminated air is passed through the charcoal ??? lter to be puri??? ed and recirculated into the kitchen through the grille outlets on either side of the chimney.

To assemble the recirculation duct, place the recirculation outlet connection item 15 into the support item 7.3.

Insert the extension ducts item 14.1 into either side of the recirculation outlet item 15 ensuring the connections are vertically and horizontally aligned with the outlets in the chimney.

Connect the recirculation oulet item 15 to the outlet on top of the hood body using either a piece of ??125mm or ??150mm ??? exible or rigid pipe.

Rigid pipe is strongly recommended and should be used where possible as this will ensure the best performance while lowering noise.

The charcoal ??? lter is not required in this mode and should be removed.

Ducting

The ducting used must be ??150mm (6ins), or ??125mm (5ins) in diameter.

If possible duct through the wall immediately above the hood body.

For the best performance use the shortest possible duct run and the minimum number of bends. Where ??? exible ducting is ??? tted it should not be turned through very tight bends as this may impair the performance of the hood.

It is recommenmded a maximum length of 3 metres, to be installed, to be reduced 1 metre for each 90o bend installed in the ducting run.

If the distance is greater than 3 metres the ef???cency of the hood could be impaired.

The diameter of the ducting spigot on the top of the hood body item 1 is ??150mm (6???).

When using ??125mm (5???) ducting it will be necessary to install the ducting adapter item 9 to the ??150mm (6???) outlet on the top of the hood body and the ??120mm to 125mm ducting collar item 10 (supplied).

If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler, then its ???ue must be of the room sealed or balanced ???ue type.

If other types of ???ue or appliances are ??? tted ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to the room.

The cooker ducting (extraction mode) must never be connected to central heating ???ues, radiators or water heaters etc.

Electrical Connection and Working

Test

Before ??? tting the chimney to the canopy make the electrical connection as described in the section titled ???ELECTRICAL CONNECTION???.

When the electrical connection has been made, test the three speed fan and worktop illumination.

Fitting the Chimney Stack

The chimney consists of two sections.

The lower chimney measures 740mm and the upper chimney (with the recirculation grilles on either side) measures 465mm. The overall installed measurement is min. 870 - max 1200mm.

UPPER CHIMNEY

To ??? t the upper chimney section item 2.1 expand the chimney slightly to allow it to be ??? tted over the brackets item 7.2.1 as illustrated.

When installed in the recirculation mode ensure that the recirculation ducting outlet extension pieces item 14.1 align correctly with the outlet grilles in the chimney.

Secure the sides of the chimney to the brackets using the four screws item 12c (2.9x9.5mm) provided, as illustrated.

LOWER CHIMNEY

To ??? t the lower chimney section item 2.2 expand the chimney slightly to allow it to be ??? tted over the upper chimney item 2.1 and the hood body item 1 as illustrated.

Secure the sides of the chimney to the hood body using the two screws item 12c (2.9x9.5mm) provided, as illustrated.
