Important safety instructions This section contains safety instructions that will help you avoid risk of injury and damage. All warranties will be void if you do not follow these instructions.
Description • • The extractor hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and passes them through the grease filter. The grease filter absorbs the solid particles in the cooking vapours, keeping the kitchen almost free of grease. • • • • Before use Before using your new extractor hood for the first time, please read this manual carefully. It contains important information concerning your personal safety as well as on the use and care of the extractor hood.
Preparing for installation The extractor hood has the ability to either recirculate the filtered air back into the kitchen, or the filtered air can be circulated through a duct to the outside of the building or into the ceiling. Decide on which option best suits you before commencing with the installation. • The extractor hood is intended to be mounted onto a flat perpendicular kitchen wall capable of supporting the weight of the hood. (approx. 16 to 26 kg depending on the model).
Installation • Installation sequence; 1. Extractor unit / chimney brackets. 2. Top chimney duct. 3. Bottom chimney duct. • Carefully remove the extractor hood and the components from the packaging. • Carefully remove the protective film. • Remove the grease filters (see page 8). • Draw a fine vertical line on the wall from the rear-centre of the hob to the ceiling. • Draw another line, horizontal this time, where the bottom edge of the hood should be.

Before and after use Optional Carbon pad filters We recommend that the extractor hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the extractor hood is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the extractor hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.
Operation • • • • • • • • Select the fan speed you require. Push button ‘3’ for high extraction level. Push button ‘2’ for medium. Push button ‘1’ for low.

If required, you may illuminate the cooking area by switching the hood lights on. Leave the hood running for a short period after the cooking has been completed to clear any smoke and odours.
