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 650 mm.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• 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.

INSTALLATION
Wall drilling and bracket fixing
Wall marking:
• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre
of the area in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob for installation without the back panel, or at
height H (height of the visible part of the panel) for installation with the back panel (see diagram
above).
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2 mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the
centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper
chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 as shown 120mm from the vertical reference line and 175mm above the
horizontal reference line.
• Mark the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Repeat this operation on the other side.
Rear Panel (optional)
The rear panel must be fitted before fixing the hood body and if it is to be fixed at both top and
bottom, must be fitted at the correct height prior to installing the bases. As this operation is rather
complex, it should be carried out either by the kitchen installer or a qualified person who knows
the final dimensions of the units.
For fixing at the top only, proceed as follows:
• Rest the back panel on the base, inserting the lower plate between the upper surface and the wall,
centring it on the vertical reference line.
• Mark the centres of the two holes in the upper plate.
• Drill ø 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
• Insert the wall plugs 11 in the holes.
• Fix the brackets using the 12a screws supplied.
• Fix the back panel (where present) using the 12a screws supplied.

Connections
DUCTED VERSION AIR EXHAUST SYSTEM
When installing the ducted version, connect the hood to the chimney using either a flexible or rigid

insert the reducer flange 9 on the hood body
outlet.
• Fix the pipe in position using sufficient pipe
clamps (not supplied).
• Remove any activated charcoal filters.
Side air exhaust on ducted version (connection

onto the air exhaust outlet.
• Insert the deflector 16 into the air exhaust fitting
15 to close off the unused outlet.

extension piece 14, ensuring that the free end
matches up with the required opening in the
chimney.
• Remove any activated charcoal filters.

Chimney assembly
Upper chimney section
• Slightly widen the two sides of the upper
chimney and hook them behind the brackets
7.2.1, making sure that they are properly
housed.
• Secure the sides to the brackets using the 4
screws 12e supplied.
Lower chimney section
• Insert the lower chimney fixing bush 17 in the
top of the hood body and rotate it 90° clockwise
as far as it will go.
• Slightly widen the two sides of the chimney and
hook them between the upper chimney section
and the wall, making sure that they are properly
housed.
• Secure the sides of the bottom section to the
bushes provided using the 2 screws 12e
supplied.
• When installing the recirculation version, fit the
directional grills 8a-8b in their housing so that
the directional symbols are at the top and
towards the front of the hood. Ensure that they
are inserted correctly in the outlet connection
piece 15.

Electrical Connection
WARNING: This appliance MUST be earthed. Connect to a 230 - 240V A.C. Supply only.
• Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible
wall socket which is adjacent to and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance and capable of
electrical isolation.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a
suitable plug as outlined below.
Note: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly
disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the
obvious consequent danger.
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below, to a three pin plug of not less than 13
amp capacity. If a B.S.1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3amp fuse which is approved
to B.S.1362.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
GREEN and YELLOW - EARTH
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
3amp FUSE
CORD CLAMP
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:- The wire which is green and
yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the
plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the
mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, DO NOT use 2-pin socket outlets,
if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a
2
qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size ie. 0.75mm
cross sectional area and temperature rating of 85°C eg. heat resisting PVC.
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3amp ASTA approved fuse to B.S.1362 must
be fitted.
Note: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover
the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse
cover can be obtained from your local Electrical Retailer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
