Installing your Cooker Hood  
Your new Cooker Hood can be installed either  
for recirculation or extraction through an  
outside wall. (All fitting supplied)  
Installation for Extraction:  
This method is recommended if at all possible.  
Fumes and grease laden air are drawn into the  
underside of the hood and expelled outside  
the kitchen. The air can be expelled either  
upwards through a ventilating shaft (Fig.2) or  
directly through a wall to the outside (Fig.3).  
Ducting will be required if the Cooker Hood is  
mounted away from the outside vent.  
Installation for Recirculation:  
If it is not possible to exhaust to the outside,  
the hood can be used to filter and recirculate  
the air (Fig.1).  
Fig.1  
Fig.3  
Fig.2  
Your hood can be fitted with a carbon filter  
(optional extra) to remove odours (for fitting,  
see page 11).  
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.  
The carbon (charcoal) filter can then be fitted.  
NOTE: The hood is more efficient in the  
exhaust mode, therefore this position  
should be selected during the warmer  
months of the year when no heating is  
being used. When the room is being  
heated, if the recirculation position is  
selected heat will not be wasted.  
To obtain the best performance it is  
advisable to switch on the hood a few  
minutes before you start cooking and leave drawn back into the room by the Cooker  
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

Hood.  
NOTE: All installations must comply with  
local authorities and building regulation  
requirements for the discharge of exhaust  
air into the atmosphere.

Connect the ducting material onto the flange:  
blank off the aperture which is not required.  
The charcoal filter is not required when the  
hood is installed in the ducting cycle.  
To remove the grille turn the locks (Fig.5 B)  
and pull the grille out and downwards.  
Fig.5  
Ducting:  
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction,  
long ducts should not be used. Exhaust pipes  
with as smooth an inner wall as possible are  
recommended. The ducting MUST be  
manufactured from a fire retardant material.  
Wall Vent Kit:  
For connecting the Hood either directly  
through a wall or in conjunction with a  
ducting pipe, we recommend the use of a  
Wall Vent Kit. A 3m extension pipe is also  
available. These may be obtained from your  
nearest retailer or the Genuine Parts and  
Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back  
cover) and must be used where there is a  
cavity wall. Specific installation instructions  
are included with the Wall Vent Kit.  
NOTE: The Wall Vent Kit has a diameter of  
100mm.

MOUNTING  
Mounting between cabinets on the Wall:  
Your Cooker Hood is designed to fit between  
two wall cupboards 600mm apart and to take  
a door panel measuring 400mm (min) to

Mounting Height:  
The bottom of the hood should be no less  
than 650mm above an electric hob,  
750mm above a gas hob or mixed fuel cooker, between the cupboards and drill the holes  
400-450mm above a high level grill/top oven.  
For the best results, the hood should be  
mounted as near as possible to the minimum  
recommended height.  
indicated.

WARNING: 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 over-  
heated. 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 Place the wall plugs provided into the drilled

In cases where the wall plugs provided are  
not suitable for the type of wall ie. plaster  
board or cavity, appropriate fittings should be  
obtained.  
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.

Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil-  
ters or light bulb, always ensure that the elec-  
tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched  
‘OFF.  
THE CARBON FILTER -  
(Recirculation only)  
The activated 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 six months, depending on the  
amount and type of cooking you have done.  
Filters and their replacement:

Caring for your Cooker Hood  
Cleaning:  
The exterior of the Cooker Hood should be  
cleaned regularly 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 manufacturer’s 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.  
Open the grille and check the bulb is screwed  
securely into the bulb holder then switch ‘On’  
at the mains supply and at the hood ‘ON/OFF’  
control.  
If the light fails to work do not worry, it will  
not affect the working of your hood.  
Obtain a replacement 40 watt SES Clear (E14)  
bulb. 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 filter grille and switch  
back ‘On’ at the mains supply.
