OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
This cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant  
odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.  
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.  
Cooker Hood Controls  
V1. Push to engage the low speed, for use with one  
burner or simmering.  
V2. Push to engage the medium speed, for normal  
cooking up to four pans.  
V3. Push to engage the high speed, for use when  
frying or cooking foods with strong odours.  
L.  
Push to switch on the worktop illumination lamps.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
This cooker hood can be used to recirculate or extract  
contaminated air.  
Recirculation  
The cooker hood is supplied specified for use in the  
recirculation mode with the charcoal filter fitted.  
The contaminated air is cleaned by passing through the  
filters and then back into the kitchen.  
The activated charcoal filter absorbs odours arising from  
cooking. In use it will slowly become saturated in grease  
and less effective. The filter normally requires changing  
after at least every three months or more frequently if  
the hood is used for more than three hours per day.  
Extraction  
The contamined air enters the cooker hood passing  
through the grease filter and out through the ducting into  
the atmosphere.  
When used in the extraction mode the charcoal filter is  
not required and must be removed.  
Never do flambé cooking under this  
cooker hood.  
Take extra care when frying and never  
leave frying pans unattended during  
use, as over-heated fats and oils can  
catch fire.  
R
W
Do not leave naked flames under the  
cooker hood.  
Ensure the hood is switched on  
before using the hob.  
Ensure heating areas on your hob are  
covered with pots and pans when using  
the hob and cooker hood  
W
R
simultaneously.  
Ensure not to damage the charcoal filter  
when cleaning or replacing as the activated  
charcoal inside is saturated with grease,  
which will stain if it comes into contact  
with clothing or furnishings.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Before carrying out any maintenance or  
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the  
mains supply.  
The cooker hood must be kept clean, a build  
up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.  
External Cleaning  
The metal casing, grille and chimney should be cleaned  
at least once a month to keep it looking like new. Wipe  
over the hood with a soft cloth wrung out in mild  
soapy water and than dry thoroughly.  
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they  
may scratch or damage the surfaces.  
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning  
the hood.  
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.  
Never use excessive amounts of water when  
cleaning particularly around the control panel.  
Metal Grease Filter  
The metal grease filter should be cleaned at least every  
month. The filter may be washed by hand using mild  
soapy water, or can be machine washed in a  
dishwasher.  
To Remove the Grease Filter  
Remove the metal grease filter cassette by pushing  
inwardly on the two steel handles; replace, making sure  
the handle has sprung back into position and is  
completely visible.  
Charcoal Filter  
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned, it should be  
replaced approximately every three months or more often  
if the hood is used for more than three hours per day.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
To Remove the Charcoal Filter  
Push inwardly on the two retaining clips to disengage  
the security fixing and remove.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING  
If, having followed these instructions carefully, your cooker hood fails to work properly please carry out  
the following checks.  
Symptom  
Solution  
The cooker hood will not start  
Check the hood is connected to the electricity supply.  
Check that the fan speed control is set to 1, 2 or 3.  
The cooker hood is not working effectively  
The fan speed is set high enough for the task.  
The grease filter is clean.  
The kitchen is adequately vented to allow the entry  
of fresh air.  
If set up for recirculation, check that the charcoal  
filter is still effective.  
If set up for extraction, check that the ducting and  
outlets are not blocked.  
The cooker hood has switched off during  
operation  
The safety cut-out device has been tripped.  
Turn off the hob and then wait for the device to reset.  
If after all these checks, the problem persists,  
contact your local Service Force Centre,  
quoting the model and serial number.

Drilling the shelves  
a)  
Using the template provided, and taking hole B  
as a point of reference, drill the shelves along the  
central axis to allow the passage of the chimney.  
The chimney must be inserted into the shelves  
before it is fixed to the hood canopy (Fig. 13).  
When installing the ducting version with the air  
outlet directed upwards, if the ducting fan unit is  
positioned below the line of the shelves it will be  
necessary to drill a suitable hole in the top shelf  
only, to allow the air ducting pipe to pass through  
(Fig. 14).  
b)  
Direction and position of the ducting fan  
unit  
a)  
The hood is normally supplied with the air outlet  
directed towards the wall (Fig. 3), if it is to be  
installed with the air outlet directed to the right or  
left (Fig. 4a-4b), it will be necessary to change  
the direction of the ducting fan unit.  
-
-
-
Unscrew the screws U (Fig. 15).  
Turn the ducting fan unit 60° to the left or right.  
Replace the screws.
