Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Cleaning

  • You should use a non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
  • You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth, for example, a microfiber cloth.

Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimize the risk of fire. At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. To remove the grease filter, push in the button on the handle and then pull down on the filter at the front as shown in figure 2. When you have released it at the front, then you can pull the filter out completely. After rinsing and drying, reassemble the grease filter to the hood by reversing the removal process.

Please note: Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discoloration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.

Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating mode only) To ensure the best performance of your extractor, you should replace the charcoal filter every four to six months, depending on use.

To attach the charcoal filters:

  • Remove the grease filter as described above.
  • Slide the charcoal filters into their locations on the motor casing as in this photo. Two filters are required, one to go at each end of the motor.
  • Finally, replace the grease filter.

The LED Lighting: In case of malfunction of the illumination system contact the technical service.

Replaceable (LED only) light source by a professional

Mains electricity connection

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY BYA COMPETENT PERSON, USING FIXED WIRING VIA A DOUBLE POLE SWITCHED FUSE SPUR OUTLET AND PROTECTED BY A 3A FUSE.

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with the I.E.T. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead of this appliance are colored in accordance with the following code:

  • Green& Yellow
  • Earth Blue
  • Neutral Brown= Live

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals Connecting to the fuse spur, proceed as follows:

  • The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked E (Earth) or colored green.
  • The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) or colored black.
  • The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live) or colored red.

Note: Use a 3A Fuse
Assembly and electrical connection should be carried out by specialized personnel. When installing this product we recommend you seek the help of another individual.

Electrical Information

  • Mains electrical voltage: 230 – 240Vac
  • Total rated power consumption: 127W

Troubleshooting

Please note
Your extractor is equipped with a motor protection device that will switch off the motor to prevent damage from overheating. This may happen during cooking when most or all of the zones/burners are being used simultaneously, or if your extractor is installed incorrectly, lower than the recommended height. This is normal, and the extractor will work again once the motor has cooled sufficiently.

If your extractor is not working

  1. Check that the mains supply has not been switched off.
  2. Check that the fuse in the spur has not blown.

Mounting your Extractor

When the extractor is to be installed above an electric hob, the minimum distance between the hob and extractor must exceed 600mm for ceramic and solid plate hobs and 550mm for induction Hobs. When the extractor is to be installed above a gas hob, the minimum distance between the hob and extractor must exceed 650mm. If the instructions provided with your gas hob state that the required distance between the hob and extractor must be greater than 650mm, then that is the distance that should be observed; this is a legal requirement and may lead to your hob being disconnected from the gas supply and the installation being reported under RIDDOR.

Note: The height should be measured from the top of the burners.

IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 650mm.

The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor installed above it

Installation

The metal casing of this appliance has been coated with a preservative to protect it during transport and storage. This should be removed during installation by using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always follow the instructions given with the cleaner being used.

Ducting and Ventilation
For best performance and lowest noise output, we recommend the use of 125mm ducting. 100mm ducting may be used but this will reduce performance and increase the noise of the extractor.The ducting used should be rigid circular pipe and must be manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS 476 or DIN are as follows:

  • 4 metres with 1 x 90° bend.
  • 3 metres with 2 x 90° bends.
  • 2 metres with 3 x 90° bends.

Longer ducting can be used but the performance of the extractor will likely be reduced.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: ONLY USE THE SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE EXTRACTOR TO MOUNT THE DUCTING ADAPTOR. THE USE OF LONGER SCREWS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL WIRING WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
