required.  
To obtain the best performance when cooking  
it is advisable to switch the chimney hood on  
for a few minutes before you start cooking  
and leave it running for about 15 minutes after  
finishing.  
RECIRCULATION  
In the recirculation mode contaminated air  
enters the chimney hood through the grease  
filter cassettes. The air is cleaned as it passes  
through the (optional) charcoal filter and is  
passed out through grilles in either side of the  
chimney stack into the kitchen.  
EXTRACTION  
In the extraction mode contaminated air  
enters the chimney hood through the grease  
filter cassettes and is passed out through  
ducting into the atmosphere.  
When used in the ducting mode  
the charcoal filter is not required.  
Never do flambé cooking under  
this chimney hood.  
When using a gas hob under this  
chimney hood never leave the  
burners uncovered while the  
hood is in use or when the pans  
have been removed.  
The grease filters and the  
charcoal filter should be cleaned  
and replaced as recommended or  
more frequently if the hood is  
used consistently over 4 hours  
per day.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while  
extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease  
filter cassettes and the charcoal filter when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.  
Before carrying out any mainte-  
nance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood  
from the mains supply.  
THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE A  
POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE GREASE  
FILTERS ARE NOT CLEANED AND THE  
CHARCOAL FILTERS REPLACED AS  
METAL GREASE FILTERS  
RECOMMENDED.  
The grease filters absorb grease and dust  
during cooking to help keep the chimney hood  
clean inside, and should be cleaned every  
month with normal usage or more frequently  
if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours  
per day.  
Replacement charcoal filters may be  
purchased by returning the enclosed order  
form, or by telephoning 01803 296155 if you  
wish to pay by credit card.  
Remove the metal grease filter  
cassettes one at a time, by pressing the  
release catch towards the rear of the hood  
as illustrated opposite. When replacing the  
filters ensure that the handle faces forwards.  
The metal grease filters can be washed in a  
dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent  
or liquid soap.  
CHARCOAL FILTER  
In the recirculation mode the activated  
charcoal filter absorbs smells and unwanted  
odours.  
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or  
regenerated and must be replaced every four  
months, or more frequently if the hood is used  
consistently over 4 hours per day.  
To replace the charcoal filter, first  
remove the metal grease filters and press  
against the plastic retaining clips to remove  
the charcoal filter as illustrated opposite.  
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves  
when removing the charcoal filter as the filter  
will be saturated in grease. Put the filter into  
a polythene bag or container so that the  
grease and dirt cannot spill onto clothing of  
furnishing.

that the two pins are correctly inserted into  
the lamp holder.  
To replace a spotlamp remove the  
snap-on lamp cover by levering it from  
under the metal ring, supporting it with  
one hand.  
Extract the Lamp from the Support.  
Replacement spotlamps are specified 12V  
20W.  
When replacing the spotlamps, make sure  
that the two pins are correctly inserted in the  
lamp holder, and then replace the glass lens  
and retaining ring.  
CLEANING  
We recommend the chimney hood is cleaned  
using a damp cloth wrung out in warm soapy  
water using a mild liquid household cleaner.  
Never use excessive amounts of  
water when cleaning, in particular  
around the control buttons.  
Never use thinners or products  
containing alcohol, as they will  
damage the painted or bright metal  
finish.

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY HOOD  
DUCTING  
The hood is more effective when used in the  
extraction mode (ducted to the outside).  
When used in the extraction mode ensure the  
ducting spigot has been correctly fitted as  
D
illustrated.  
The ducting used must be 125  
(5ins) or 150mm (6ins), flexible or  
rigid and must be manufactured  
from fire retardant material,  
produced to BS.476 or DIN.4102-  
B1. The choice should be made by  
the installer. However, we  
recommend flexible ducting should  
only be used as an accessory as  
rigid ducting will provide better  
performance while reducing noise  
levels.  
The ducting flange D should be sleeved over  
the spigot A when using 125mm (5ins)  
ducting as the European ducting spigot is  
120mm.  
Ducting kits can be obtained from Kitchen  
Specialist Distriutors, Builders Merchants and  
DIY stores.  
When the chimney hood is ducted to the  
outside the charcoal filter must be removed.
