The performance of your extractor will vary depending on a number of factors. These include: type of extraction, length of ducting, room volume, ventilation available and cleanliness of the filters.
Using your extractor
For best performance, you should switch on the extractor 15 minutes before starting to cook and leave it to run for approximately 15 minutes after the end of cooking.

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 microfibre cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise 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 outwards on the filter as shown in Fig. 2. When you have released it at the front, 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 discolouration.
This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)
To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the
charcoal filter every four to six months, depending on use.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters as described on the previous page.
To attach the charcoal filter
Offer up the charcoal filter as shown in Fig. 3 so that the magnetic pins are
facing upwards one to the rear and one to either side. The filter will be held
in place by magnetic force. Finally replace the grease filters.
LED lighting
The light bulbs in this extractor are high efficiency LEDs and are not user replaceable. The lighting is for use during cooking and not for general room illumination Extended use of the lighting with reduce the lifespan of the bulbs.
In the event of a problem with the lighting, please contact CDA Customer Care.
Contact details are on page 9.
Mains electricity connection
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY BY A 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 coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead for the appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals connecting to the fuse spur, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal marked E (Earth) or coloured GREEN and YELLOW
- The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) or coloured BLACK.
- The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live), or coloured RED.
Note: Use a 3A Fuse.
Assembly and electrical connection should be carried out by specialised
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:
112W
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:
- Check that the mains supply has not been switched off.
- Check that the fuse in the spur has not blown.

Mounting your extractor
When the extractor is to be installed above an Amica hob, the minimum distance between the hob and the extractor must exceed 550mm.
If the instructions provided with another
brand of gas hob state that the required distance between the hob and the
extractor must be greater than 550mm, 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.
- Gas: 750mm recommended
Electric: 650mm recommended
Note: The height should be measured from the top of the burners.

F|

IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE GAS HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND THE EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm.
The width of any hob must not be greater than the width of the extractor installed above it.
Ducting and ventilation
For best performance and lowest noise output we recommend the use of 150mm ducting. 125mm ducting may be used but this will reduce performance and increase the noise of the extractor.
Wherever possible use the rigid circular pipe which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina style ducting. The lengths of ducting without performance being affected are as follows:
- 4 metres with 1 x 90° bend
- 3 metres with 2 x 90° bends
- 2 metres with 3 x 90° bends
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. Please ensure that there is no power being supplied to the appliance whilst you do this.
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this type of product. However, special care should be taken around the rear of the appliance as these areas are not designed nor intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges that could cause injury. Always wear adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Note:
- We recommend that you seek the help of another individual when installing this product
- The fixings supplied are suitable for most installations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the fixings are suitable for the ceiling type in the property
- Please cover any hob or surface below the area in which the extractor is to be installed, so that no damage befalls it
- Tools required
- Mark out wall as required, see Fig 4.
- Drill holes

THE USE OF LONGER SCREWS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL WIRING WHICH WILL
NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
