Do install the hood at the correct height, allowing at least the minimum distance above a cooking appliance (see page 5). Fan Speed The right slider enables you to select the fan speed. Your Cooker Hood has three speeds to give you the correct extraction level to suit your cooking conditions. Position 1 should be selected when simmering or when using only one pan. Position 2 should be selected for normal cooking up to four pans. Position 3 should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours. Simply slide the selector to the required setting. Work Top Illumination The left slider (ON/OFF) enables you to switch on the worktop illumination. DON’T Don’t use the hood without the grease filter. Don’t leave a naked flame under the hood. Don’t leave cooker/hob hotplates ‘On’ when not covered, as the fan motor of this cooker hood incorporates a thermal cut-out device which will operate if the hood overheats. The fan motor will take approximately 20 minutes to automatically reset at which point the hood will resume normal functions. NEVER do flambe cooking beneath this cooker hood. NEVER leave frying pans or deep fat fryers unattended during use, overheated fat/oil may catch fire. Caring for your Cooker Hood Before doing any cleaning or replacing the filters or light bulb, always ensure that the electricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched ‘OFF’. Filters and their replacement: THE METAL GREASE FILTERS The grease filters are fitted to absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the appliance clean inside. The metal filters must be cleaned frequently, at least once every thirty days of normal use. The filters should be handwashed in hot soapy water. Alternatively they could be washed in a dishwasher. After cleaning the filters, dry thoroughly before reinstalling. IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire hazard if the grease filter is not cleaned when necessary and according to these instructions. TO REMOVE THE GREASE FILTERS Release the catches on the filter (Fig.6), then the filter can be removed. Fig.6 THE CARBON FILTER (2 pieces) ( Recirculation Model only...) The carbon filter absorbs odours arising from the cooking. In use, the filter will slowly become saturated and gradually less effective. The filter will normally require changing every four months, depending on the amount and type of cooking. NOTE: The carbon filter must never be washed. TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS 1. Remove the grease filters. 2. Place one filter on each side so that they cover the grates protecting the rotor on the motor. 3. Turn the centre handle (Fig.7) clockwise until filters are fixed in position. 4. Refit the grease filters. Fig.7 TO REPLACE THE CARBON FILTERS 1. Remove the grease filters. 2. Turn the centre handle (Fig.7) anti- clockwise until the filters are released. 3. Fit new carbon filters as above. 4. Refit grease filters. Caring for your Cooker Hood Cleaning: For your own safety and in the interest of hygiene your Cooker Hood needs to be kept clean. A build up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard. Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning, particularly around the control panel area. The metal casing and grille assembly should be cleaned at least once a month to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth, wrung out in warm water and dry with a clean soft cloth. Wear protective gloves. You can use mild non-abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a small area of the Cooker Hood not noticeable in normal use. NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. How to replace the light: Should the light fail to work,switch ‘Off’the mains supply to the Hood. First, remove the grease filters. Remove the lamp cover and first check the bulb is screwed securely into the lamp holder then switch ‘On’ at the mains supply. If the light still fails to work do not worry, it will not affect the working of your hood. Obtain a replacement 40 Watt max (E14). Switch ‘Off’the mains supply. Unscrew the old bulb anti-clockwise to remove and replace with the new bulb turning clockwise until secure. Refit the lamp cover and the grease filters then switch back ‘On’ at the mains supply. NOTE: When changing the bulb, an identical replacement must be fitted to ensure the safe operation of the hood. Troubleshooting. First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all.
