OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
This cooker hood is designed to extract  
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not  
extract steam.  
Cooker Hood Controls  
The cooker hood functions are controlled by  
three slider switches which are located in a  
fold away control box on the right hand side.  
Automatic Microswitch  
The microswitch overrides the controls, and  
switches off the hood when the visor is closed.  
When the visor is opened the hood will  
resume the function of previous setting.

The appliance can be installed to recirculate  
or extract contaminated air. However, the  
cooker hood is more effective in the extraction  
mode.  
Recirculation  
The contaminated air is cleaned by passing  
through the filters and then back into the  
kitchen.  
Extraction  
The contaminated air enters the hood passing  
through the grease filter and out through the  
ducting to the atmosphere.  
When the ducting position is selected  
the charcoal filter is not required.  
Never do flambé cooking under this  
cooker hood.  
Never leave frying pans unattended during use  
as over-heated fats and oils can catch fire.  
Do not leave naked flames under the  
cooker hood.  
Ensure the visor is open when using the  
hob even if the fan on the hood is not  
switched on.  
Ensure heating areas on your hob are  
covered with pots and pans when using  
the hob and cooker hood simultaneously.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
This appliance must be earthed.  
Electrical Requirements  
This appliance is fitted with a 3 core mains  
cable and must be permanently connected to  
the electricity supply via a double-pole switch  
having 3mm minimum contact gap on each  
pole. A Switched Fuse Connection Unit to  
BS.1363 Part 4, fitted with a 3A fuse, is a

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD  
Please ensure that when the appliance is  
installed it is easily accessible to an  
engineer in the event of a breakdown.  
All installations must comply with the  
local authorities requirements for the  
discharge of exhaust air.  
Incorrect installation may affect the  
safety of this cooker hood.  
Installation Requirements  
Before installation check the wall to  
which the cooker hood is to be fitted for  
electric cables, water pipes or gas.  
Ducting  
The ducting must be fire retardant 125mm (5ins)  
in diameter and the length should be nomore than:  
3 metres with one 900 bend  
2 metres with two 900 bends  
Bends of more than 900 will reduce the  
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.  
Clearance Height  
The cooker hood is designed to be fitted 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 Specifications.  
If the output of the appliance below the  
cooker hood exceeds the maximum outputs  
quoted, please refer to the cooker  
manufacturer’s installation instructions.

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.  
C: Slot-in Electric Cooker: 685mm minimum clearance  
D: Slot-in Gas Cooker: 787mm minimum clearance  
This cooker hood must not be installed  
above a cooking appliance with a high  
level grill.  
Unpacking  
Before unpacking the cooker hood position the  
carton with the arrows pointing upwards as  
illustrated on the carton.  
Positioning  
This cooker hood is designed to be fitted into  
a cabinet which should have a minimum  
depth 28 cm and width 60 cm.  
Venting  
The hood is more effective when used in the  
extraction setting (ducted to the outside).  
Venting kits maybe purchased through  
your retailer or DIY store, and must be ducted  
to an outside vent of 100mm (4”) minimum.  
The ducting used must be manufactured  
from fire retardant material which should  
conform to the relevant British Standard  
or DIN4102-B1.  
When the hood is ducted externally the  
charcoal filter must be removed and the slider  
control must be in the ducting position.  
12  
 
Insert the ducting spigot into the aperture on  
the top of the cooker hood casing.  
Fitting the Wall Cabinet  
If it is necessary to fix the kitchen cabinet to a  
hollow construction plaster or partition board  
structure then it must be sufficiently reinforced  
to be strong enough to support the weight of  
the cooker hood.  
Wall Cabinet Preparation  
Position the cooker hood upside down,  
ensuring the cooker hood is supported. Open  
the visor and remove the two metal grease  
filter cassettes (see maintenance and cleaning  
section).  
Mark the position for the cut-out for the cooker  
hood on the underside of the kitchen cabinet.  
The cut-out should measure, lenght 503 mm by  
depth 162 mm.  
Mark the position for the cut-out for the  
ducting on the top of the kitchen cabinet  
ensuring that the centre of the hole aligns  
with the centre of the ducting spigot.  
A pad saw or similar cutter will be required to  
cut the rectangular hole for the cooker hood  
and the circular hole for the ducting spigot.  
Before inserting the cooker hood inside the  
cabinet ensure a hole has been provided to  
route the mains cable.  
Securing the cooker hood to the wall  
K
1.  
cabinet  
Insert the upper casing of the cooker hood  
through the hole from the underside of the  
cabinet ensuring that the butterfly bracket  
screws have been loosened sufficiently to  
allow the wings to be folded back.  
2.  
3.  
Tighten the butterfly bracket screws, by  
rotating the screws clockwise.  
If further alignment of the cooker hood is  
required the lower section of the casing  
can be adjusted horizontally, backwards  
and forwards.  
13  
 
KTo adjust the lower casing  
1.  
Pull out the visor.  
2.  
Loosen the two screws immediately in front  
and behind the butterfly bracket screws.  
3.  
Once the screws have been loosened the  
lower section of the hood can be moved  
backward and forward.  
This will allow the alignment of the decor trim  
with the wall cabinet above.  
Care should be taken when carrying out  
the above operation not to loosen the  
screws too far, and to ensure that the  
casing is supported at all times.  
Fitting the Control Panel  
The control panel support should be located  
on the right hand side in the channel on the  
underside of the hood.  
Using the screws provided secure the control  
box support into the pre-drilled hole.  
Clearance Height  
The cooker hood can be concealed behind a  
decor panel by removing the factory fitted front  
strip and fitting a length of lighting pelmet.  
KTo remove the front strip  
1.  
Open the visor.  
2.  
Remove the three screws from the reverse  
side.  
3.  
4.  
Drill the new front strip ensuring the holes  
are aligned correctly.  
Fix the new front strip with the screws  
provided.
