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 or Cooker Hood
switch (especially if you are using a gas
hob).
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.
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 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.
The Cooker Hood functions are controlled by
two slide switches located on the right hand
side behind the visor.
Fan Speed
The top slider enables you to select the fan
speed.
Position 1, should be selected when
simmering or using only one pan.
Position 2 for normal cooking, up to four pans.
Position 3 when frying or cooking foods with
strong odours.
Work Top Illumination
The lower slider (ON/OFF) enables you to
switch on the work top illumination.
The concealed microswitch acts as an override
and will switch the Hood ‘OFF’ when the visor
panel is closed. When the visor panel is
opened the hood will resume working at its
previous setting.
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.
