The maximum length of ducting, including  
one 90˚ bend should be 3 metres, to be  
reduced by 1 metre for each 90˚ bend  
installed in the duct run.  
The guarantee is only applicable if the hood  
has been installed in accordance with the  
installation instructions detailed in this book.  
The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any  
damage or injury caused as a result of not  
following the instructions contained in the  
following text.  
Where flexible ducting is fitted it should not  
be turned through very tight bends as this  
could impair the performance of the hood.

SAFETY WARNINGS: THIS COOKER HOOD IS  
DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY.  
When used in the extraction mode the Cooker  
Hood ducting must not be connected to a  
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from  
a central heating flue or water heating flue.  
NOTE: All installations must comply with  
local authorities and building regulation  
requirements for the discharge of exhaust  
air into the atmosphere.  
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.  
Your new Cooker Hood can be used in the  
following ways:  
-
-
External exhausting model  
Recycling model  
These distances between hobs and grease  
filter must be observed.  
Minimum 600mm - over an electric hob.  
Minimum 700mm - over a gas or mixed fuel  
hob.  
Minimum 400-450mm - over a high level grill.  
Use  
Suggestions for the Installation and use:  
The hood may be used in two ways:  
-
The horizontal sections of the pipe must be - External exhausting version  
slanted slightly upwards (about 10%) to  
ensure an easy flow of air outwards.  
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.  
- Internal recycle version.  
-
External exhausting version.  
This method is recommended if at all possible.  
The air is conveyed out through a pipe which  
is connected to the outlet hole A (fig. 1) by  
means of a coupling flange B (fig. 1).  
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be  
equal to that of the coupling flange.  
Attention! the hood is supplied with a grease  
filter, which when absorbed with grease and  
fat can be thrown away.  
Ducting:  
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction,  
long ducts should not be used. Exhaust pipes  
with a minimum internal diameter of 100mm  
and with as smooth an inner wall as possible  
are recommended. The ducting MUST be  
manufactured from a fire retardant material.  
Internal recycle version.  
The air is purified through an active carbon  
filter and returned to the room.

Installing your Cooker Hood  
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.  
Mounting beneath cabinets on the Wall:  
Before fitting the hood beneath any type of  
wall cabinet/canopy housing, ensure it is  
firmly fixed to the wall in accordance with the  
manufacturer’s instructions. Before drilling,  
care should be taken to check for electric  
cables, water pipes or gas pipes on the wall to  
which the cabinet/canopy is to be fitted.  
The hood may be fixed to any rigid vertical  
surface. If the hood can only be fixed to a  
hollow construction plaster or partition board  
MOUNTING  
Mounting Height:  
When installed above an electric cooking  
appliance the minimum distance between the structure, then the wall must be sufficiently  
surface of the hob elements and the lower  
grille of the cooker hood must be 650mm.  
When installed above a gas cooking appliance  
reinforced to be quite rigid in the area of the  
housing mounting system.

cavity of a cavity wall or into a cupboard  
above the cooker hood.  
The distance between the underside of  
adjoining wall cabinet and the worktop must  
not be less than 400mm.  
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 an 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.  
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 (Installation and use) regulations.  
Detailed recommendations are contained in  
the following British Standard Codes of  
Practice BS6172, BS5440 and BS6891 Current  
Edition.  
For secure operation and to prevent discharge  
gas from coming back in, the vacuum must  
not exceed 0.04mbr.  
This may be done by making sure the air inlet  
into the room passes through non-closing  
openings such as air recycling wall boxes,  
doors, windows or with other technical  
measures.  
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.  
THERMAL CUT-OUT:  
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  
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.  
Note: the hood is more effective when  
installed in extraction (ducting) mode.

Operating your Cooker Hood  
The Controls  
Make sure that the Cooker Hood is wired in  
and the power supply is switched on.  
Work Top Illumination  
There is a separate selector for the light. This  
selector controls the worktop illumination.  
Position 1 indicates the illumination is  
operating.  
Fan Speed  
Your Cooker Hood has three speeds to give  
you the correct extraction level to suit your  
cooking conditions.  
To obtain the best performance it is advisable  
to switch on the hood a few minutes before  
you start cooking and leave it running for  
approximately 15 minutes after finishing.  
Position 1 should be selected when simmer-  
ing or when using only one pan.  
Position 2 should be selected for normal  
cooking up to four pans.  
Position 3 should be selected when frying or  
cooking food with strong odours.  
Simply slide the selector to the required  
setting.

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 -  
(Recirculation only)  
The carbon filter is an optional extra and is to  
be fitted to the cooker hood when installed in  
the recycling mode.  
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.  
Filters and their replacement:  
THE GREASE FILTER -  
The grease filter is fitted to absorb grease and  
dust during cooking to help keep the  
appliance clean inside.  
The grease filter cannot be cleaned.  
It must not be washed.  
The grease filter should be replaced every 2  
months.  
To remove the grease filter open the metal  
inlet grille, carefully ease out the metal  
retaining wire clips. To remove the grease filter marking the rear wall. Place the new carbon  
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -

Caring for your Cooker Hood  
Cleaning:  
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the  
filters or light bulb always check that the  
electricity supply to the hood is switched  
off.  
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 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.  
Remove the grille.  
First check the bulb is screwed securely into  
the bulb holder.  
Replacement bulbs are specified 230/240  
volts 40watt clear round shape with small  
Edison (E14) screw thread cap.  
Replace the grille and switch on at the mains  
supply.  
NOTE: When changing the bulb, an  
identical replacement must be fitted to  
ensure the safe operation of the hood.
