o Remove the hanging hook and then slide the lower chimney
section downwards, until it rests against the main body of the
cooker hood.
o Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish on the stainless steel
sections of the appliance.
o If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then you
should now fit the carbon filter. See the “Fitting the carbon filter”
section on pages 13 - 14.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be taken
out of the room via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside
wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the
air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed
through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the
kitchen via an opening in the hood.
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filter.
External ducting
o Connect the spigot 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.
o For each additional 90 degree bend that is made, the maximum
distance between the coupling and your discharge outlet is
reduced by 1 metre.
