Installing your Cooker Hood  
Your new Cooker Hood can be installed either  
for recirculation or extraction through an  
outside wall.  
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  
it running approximately 15 minutes after  
finishing.  
Installation:  
These distances, between hobs and grease  
filter must be observed.  
Minimum 65cm  
Minimum 75cm  
over an electric hob.  
over a gas hob.  
Minimum 40-45cm over a high level grill/  
top oven.  
See page 7.  
Installation for Extraction:  
Fig.3  
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  
This method is recommended if at all possible.  
Fumes and grease laden air are drawn into the  
underside of the hood and expelled out.  
The air can be expelled either upwards

of the conveyor until index C is visible  
(Fig.2a).  
Ducting will be required if the Cooker Hood is  
mounted away from the outside vent.  
To connect the pipe, fit the coupling ring  
(Fig.3 C) in the selected outlet. Use the cover  
(Fig.3 D) to close the unused outlet.  
To set deflector ready for recirculation,  
slide the control towards the inside of the  
conveyor (Fig.2b). Pull the plastic tongue  
that blocks the index C outwards, to make  
the insertion of the deflector easier. Fit the  
supplied cover on the upper outlet hole.  
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.  
Fig.2  
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  
drawn back into the room by the Cooker  
Hood.  
Fig.2a  
Fig.2b  
NOTE: All installations must comply with  
local authorities and building regulation  
requirements for the discharge of exhaust  
air into the atmosphere.  
Extraction  
Recirculation

Installing your Cooker Hood  
Top Extraction (Fig.4)  
Fig.4  
If the exhaust air is being drawn upwards, a  
pipe with a diameter of 100mm is necessary  
and the blanking plate must be fitted in the  
rear outlet. To check that the hood is set up  
for extraction, open the grille panel and make  
sure that the conversion lever on the unit is in  
the exhausting position.  
Rear Extraction (Fig.5)  
Fig.5  
If the air is to be drawn off to the rear, a pipe  
with a diameter of 100mm is necessary and  
the blanking plate should be fitted in the top  
outlet.  
Ducting:  
In order to obtain satisfactory air extraction,  
long ducts should not be used. 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.

Installing your Cooker Hood  
Wall Vent Kit:  
For connecting the hood either directly  
Fig.7  
through a wall or in conjunction with a duct-  
ing pipe, we recommend the use of a Wall  
Vent Kit. A 3m extension pipe is also available.  
Both of these are 100mm diameter and 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.  
MOUNTING  
Mounting Height:  
Your Cooker Hood is suitable for wall  
mounting or fixing to the underside of a wall  
cupboard. In either case the underneath of  
the hood should be 65cm above an electric  
hob,  
75cm above a gas hob, 40-45cm 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.  
Fixing to the wall:  
Fig.8  
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.  
Fit the template to the wall.  
Make four 8mm diameter holes in the wall,  
(2 on Fig.8 H and 1 on either of the points  
Fig.8 I).  
The cut-out device will reset itself when the  
fan motor has cooled significantly.  
Fit four 8mm wall plugs  
Fit two 5mm diameter x 45mm long screws  
on H. Do not tighten completely.  
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.  
Now hang the hood (holes H), tighten the two  
screws and fit the screws in hole I from inside  
the hood.  
A template is enclosed for both wall and  
under-cupboard fixing.  
Fixing to the cabinet:  
Ensure that the cabinet is securely fixed to the  
wall, use 4 screws supplied and proceed as  
follows:  
Make holes at the bottom of the cabinet using  
the template supplied. Fit the four 4.2 x  
35mm screws supplied, in the holes, from  
inside the cabinet (Fig.7).

Caring for your Cooker Hood  
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil-  
Fig.11  
ters or light bulb, always ensure that the elec-  
tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched  
‘OFF.  
Filters and their replacement:  
THE GREASE FILTER -  
Your Cooker Hood is fitted with a grease filter  
which absorbs grease, dust etc. and helps to  
keep the appliance clean inside. Gradually the  
filter will become saturated and should be  
replaced every 2 months  
4. Replace the retaining clips.  
5. Close the grille panel.  
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 four months, depending on  
the amount and type of cooking you have  
done.  
IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire  
hazard if the grease filter is not replaced  
when necessary and according to these  
instructions.  
Replacement grease filters are available from  
your nearest retailer or our Genuine Parts and  
Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back  
cover).  
See page 5 (Figs. 1 and 2) to set your Cooker  
Hood to the recirculation option.  
RELEASING THE GRILLE PANEL -

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’  
the mains supply.  
If the light fails to work do not worry, it will  
not affect the working of your hood. Obtain a  
replacement 40 watt (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.  
NOTE: When changing the bulb, an  
identical replacement must be fitted to  
ensure the safe operation of the hood.
