Using your cooker hood Before first use IMPORTANT: THIS PROCESS MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE THE COOKER HOOD IS USED FOR THE FIRST TIME. o You should use a good quality stainless steel cleaner on ALL of the stainless steel areas of your cooker hood, before it is used for the first time. o This will help to leave a silicone water-resistant film to protect the stainless steel surfaces.
IMPORTANT: IDEALLY YOU SHOULD SWITCH ON YOUR HOOD TEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU START TO COOK, OR AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN YOU BEGIN COOKING. YOU SHOULD ALSO RUN YOUR HOOD FOR TEN MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING. Cleaning your cooker hood IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED YOUR COOKER HOOD OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR SWITCH, SET AT THE WALL FROM THE CABLE. Cleaning o Clean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid detergent and a new damp cloth.
The grease filter o Your cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues. o This aluminium filter may become flammable if it becomes saturated with this greasy residue. o To prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be cleaned regularly. Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15 days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal washing-up detergent. o DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTER IN A DISHWASHER.
o First remove the grease filter by pulling down on the handle and then pulling it away from the cooker hood. o Soak the grease filter in hot water and washing up liquid for at least 5 minutes (or longer if the grease build up is severe). o Rinse it off thoroughly with hot water. o Repeat the process if required. o Refit the grease filter once it has dried. o Close the cover that sits over the grease filter. o IMPORTANT: Let the grease filter dry thoroughly before refitting it to the cooker hood.
Changing a light bulb IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. o Remove the grease filter described on pages 13 - 14). (as o Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure that they have cooled down. o Find the bulb that requires replacement, you will find it located in the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the canopy. o Use a screwdriver to remove the glass cover that sits over the bulb.
Fitting the carbon filters If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused by cooking. IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY. 1) Remove the grease filters. 2) Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of the motor.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found behind the grease filter.
o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows: o The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured black. o The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red. Before beginning installation o Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
o Rawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
Installing your cooker hood IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 26 NOW TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODES. o We recommend that at least two people install this hood. o Please note that the styles of cooker hood shown in the line drawings in the following pages are sometimes different to the shape of the BE600GL, BE700GL and BE900GL.
2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure A in this drawing and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure B. 3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diameter, make holes in the wall on the positions that you have marked in step 2. 4) Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled. 5) Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 10 mm out of the wall.
6) Hang the hood onto the support screws. 7) Fully tighten the support screws (A) and then screw the anchoring screws (B) through the relevant holes in the cooker hood. Tighten the anchoring screws fully into the wall.
Connecting to external ducting 8) Connect the coupling to the top of the cooker hood, and then connect a 125 mm ducting hose to the coupling (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance). o The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm². o The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet should be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend.
10) Lift chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it is perpendicular to the hood. o Mark the side measurements of both sides of chimney section (D) on the wall with a pencil and then remove chimney section (D). 11) Take the flat bracket (E) and place it between the two pencil marks that you made in step 9 o Keeping the bracket in contact with the wall, use a pencil to mark on the wall the anchoring holes that are cut out of the bracket.
12) Using an 8 mm drill bit, drill out two holes on the pencil markings that you made in step 11. Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then use a screwdriver to secure the fixing bracket to the wall. o Refit chimney section (C) to the hood and fix it onto the hood using the two screws that are supplied. o Secure the top of chimney section (C) to the flat bracket, using the screws provided. o Slide chimney section (D) inside of chimney section (C).
Completing the installation If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two carbon filters. See the “Fitting the carbon filters” section on page 16. The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted on the rating plate, which is placed inside the cooker hood. The appliance should now be connected to the electrical supply. See page 17 – 18 for detailed information on the electrical connection.
