manual abstract
If the Book is lost or damaged a copy may be obtained from: GDA LTD., Morley Way, Peterborough, PE2 9JB GB 2 RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Using your new Cooker Hood is very simple. Nevertheless, to get the best results it is important that you read this manual thoroughly before installing and using your appliance for the first time. INSTALLATION • All installation and repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance to regulations in force. • The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting from incorrect or improper installation. • After having removed the packaging, check the condition of the appliance, if in any doubt, do not use and contact Hotpoint Service (see Key Contacts, back page). • The minimum safety distance between the hob and the extractor hood is 600 mm. • Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood. • For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. • Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible. • Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.). • If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have a suitable vent to the outside of the building, so that clear fresh air can circulate through the kitchen. USE • The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells. • Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has ben designed. • Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation. • Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides. • Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames. • When frying, never leave the pan unattended. • The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use. MAINTENANCE • Switch off and unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work. • Clean regularly (see Care and Cleaning section), build up of dirt and grease could cause a fire hazard. 600mm min. GB 3 GB 4 INSTALLATION Fig.1A INSTALLATION Consult Fig.1A on page 4 of this manual, referenced in the text by alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. All liability, for any inconvenience, damage or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 60 cm from the hob top for electric cookers and 75cm for gas or mixed cookers. The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version – exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F onto the support (bracket) G. Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). The models with no extraction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external extraction device (not supplied). Preliminary information for installation of the hood: Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off. First decide which functioning version is better for you. If you decide to use the hood in ducting version we suggest you position the upper section of the chimney so that the oulet slots are not visible once installation has ended. If it is decided to use the hood in filter version BE SURE that the side with slots is up (see also 1-2-3 sequence on Fig. 1A). -Rest the extraction unit on a flat surface and thread the lower part of the hood onto it (remove the grease filters). -Make all the electrical connections between the two parts. -Fasten the hood to the extraction unit using 4 screws. -Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate installation. -Rest the drilling template against the wall: the vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall, and the bottom edge of the drilling template must correspond to the bottom edge of the hood: bear in mind that, when installation is complete, the underside of the hood must be at least 60 cm above the hob top in the case of electric cookers, and at least 75 cm above the cooker top in the cas...
