DO
Do take extra care when frying.
Do keep the heating areas on your hob
covered over with pots and pans etc.
when using the hob and Cooker Hood
simultaneously.
Do make sure that there is an adequate air
inlet into the room if you are using the
hood to vent externally and have a boiler
or fire in the room, so that fumes are not
drawn back from the flue.
Do install the hood at the correct height,
allowing at least the minimum distance
above a cooking appliance (see page 6).
Do replace the grease filter when the
coloured indicators cover the filter.
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 (see page 6).
NEVER
do flambé cooking beneath this
cooker hood.
NEVER
leave frying pans or deep fat fryers
unattended during use, overheated
fat/oil may catch fire.
Make sure that the Cooker Hood is wired in
and the power supply is switched on.
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 simmer-
ing 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
There is a separate selector for the light. This
selector controls the worktop illumination.
Position 1 indicates the illumination is
operating.
To obtain the best performance it is advisable
to switch on the hood a few minutes before
you start cooking and leave it running for
approximately 15 minutes after finishing.
