Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g.
Warning and Safety instructions The grease filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care". Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. Safety with children The appliance is only intended for use by adults who have read these instructions.
Warning and Safety instructions Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Warning and Safety instructions One of the following technical measures may be necessary to ensure safe operation. – If the only way of ensuring adequate ventilation is via an open window, a window contact switch should be fitted to ensure that the cooker hood can only operate when the window is opened sufficiently. A window contact switch kit is available from good builders' merchants. Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.
Modes of operation The cooker hood works with . . . air extraction: The air is drawn in and cleaned by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter, and then directed outside. If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again. The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off.

Cleaning and care Important for appliances with aluminium housing: Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from. Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on for too long. Remove any soiling straight away. Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.
Cleaning and care To remove the stainless steel outer filter Cleaning the grease filter and the outer filter by hand ^ Clean the grease filter and the outer filter with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not use "neat" washing up liquid. Do not use: – cleaning agents containing descaling agents, ^ To remove the outer filter pull down on the quick-release catches. When doing this, hold the filter securely so that it does not fall on the hob surface below.
Cleaning and care ^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry for a while on an absorbent surface before putting them back in place. To replace the stainless steel outer filter ^ When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. ^ After cleaning the filters, press the grease filter control for approx. 3 seconds to reset the operating hours counter. The indicator lamp will go out.
Cleaning and care Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filter.

Installation Dismantling Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room to avoid the danger of toxic fumes building up.
Connection for air extraction Important: To avoid the danger of toxic fumes please observe the Warning and Safety instructions. This is especially crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance which relies on air from the same room. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary. – Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre.
Connection for air extraction Important: Silencer If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc. where there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas, the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated. Condensate trap (optional accessory) To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer can be fitted in the ducting system.
Electrical connection be provided for all poles. All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
