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 recirculation: . . . air extraction: (requires a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data") The air is drawn in through the vapour plates, cleaned by the grease filter and 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 in the exhaust socket in the motor unit.

To check the percentage of time set already used: Afterwards, the charcoal filter operating hours counter must be reset. ^ Press the On/Off control to switch the fan on.
Cleaning and care Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that: – it is switched off at the isolator or at the wall socket and the plug removed, or – the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). – abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
Cleaning and care Vapour plates and grease filter The vapour plates and the re-useable metal grease filter remove solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc) preventing soiling of the cooker hood. The vapour plates and grease filter should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of fat. An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard. ^ First, remove the vapour plate in the middle.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filter by hand ^ Clean the 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 side vapour plates, hold on the side, pull out of the holder at the bottom (1), then slide towards the middle and pull downwards (2). ^ See the notes under "Housing" for how to clean the vapour plates.
Cleaning and care When removing the filter for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. ^ Replace the grease filter. ^ Replace the vapour plates. First, slide the side vapour plates in at the top, push sideways into place, and click into place at the bottom. ^ Fit the middle vapour plate into the slots at the top (1), then click into place at the bottom (2).
Cleaning and care Glass surfaces ^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass. – Avoid oven sprays. 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. This is designed to absorb cooking odours. It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filter.
Cleaning and care When fitting for the first time: ^ Activate the operating hours counter (see "Operation"). Always replace the charcoal filter immediately if – the indicator lamp for the charcoal filter lights up, or – if it is no longer effective in absorbing kitchen odours. It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. ^ After fitting the new charcoal filter, press the charcoal filter touch control for approx.

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 book. This is particularly crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on air from the same room, as this could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
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 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. (optional accessory for ...EXT models only) Condensate trap (optional accessory) To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, ...
Electrical connection All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
