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 700 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.
700mm
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 been
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
Assembly Instructions
The accessories required for the installation of the
hood can be found inside the packaging. The hood
is convertible and can therefore be installed for use
in either the OUTDOOR VENTING mode or the
AIR RECIRCULATION mode. If the hood is used
in the OUTDOOR VENTING mode, connect
opening ‘N’ (Fig.1) to an exhaust duct connected
directly to the outside and which is 150cm2
minimum in cross-section. The lowest part of the
hood should be at least 70cm from the hob.
• IN NO CASE WHATSOEVER SHOULD THE
HOOD BE CONNECTED TO EXHAUST
DUCTS FROM OTHER APPLIANCES
THAT RUN ON ENERGY SOURCES OTHER
THAN ELECTRICITY (water heaters, boilers,
stoves etc.). The hood must not be placed above
stoves with a top radiant hob.
• There are 3 main types of supports for
anchoring a hood onto a wall. As a rule each
hood has tow main anchoring points, one at either
side on the back of the hood.
1ST TYPE OF SUPPORT
• This support is assembled onto the hood and allows for the adjustment of the hood both vertically
(screw L, Fig.2) and horizontally (screw F, Fig.2). For the installation, L-shaped hooks must be
fastened to the wall (see E, Fig.2).
2ND TYPE OF SUPPORT
This support is already assembled on the cooker
hood and only allows vertical adjustment, by
turning the screw situated on the high part of the
hood (see Side b). L-shaped hooks must be fastened
to the wall for installation.

INSTALLATION
Assembly Instructions
Fig.3
3RD TYPE OF SUPPORT
• This support (see E above) is supplied with the cooker hood (generally in two pieces) and should
be fastened to the wall by means of two wall plugs.
• In this case, some slots have been made on the back of the hood onto which these supports should
be hooked (see above).
To adjust the position of the hood, the support fixing screws should be loosened and the height of the
hood should be adjusted. The aforementioned 3 types of support are not sufficient to guarantee that
the hood is firmly anchored... you will also need to install one of the following:
ANTI-TIPPING BRACKET - (refer to Fig.2) This type of accessory (two pieces generally provided)
should be assembled onto the top part of the cooker hood and then fastened to the wall (D). Slots (B)
on the bracket allow for partial adjustment of the inclination of the hood.
ANTI-TIPPING SCREW - (refer to Fig.3) This anti-tipping device foresees that the hood is
fastened directly to the wall by means of one or more screws provided, using the holes on the back
panel of the hood (P).
ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS
• Locate the position of the holes to drill on the
wall for fastening screws and hooks.
• Remove the metal grease filters.
• Place the hood in its desired position, mark the
exact points on the wall where holes must be
drilled.
• Move the hood and follow above instructions
to anchor it to the wall according to the type of
support.
• Hook the hood on.
• Now proceed with the anti-tipping connections,
using the special bracket or screws (see above).

INSTALLATION
MOTOR CONNECTION
• There are two types of motor connections where
the main difference is the diameter of the steam
and odour outlet:
- 120mm diameter
- 150mm diameter
• If the motor connection (N, Fig.1) does not come
already fitted, it should be fastened to the top
of the hood using screws provided. Then connect
it to the steam and odour exhaust duct by means
of a pipe of a suitable diameter.
CHIMNEY DUCT ASSEMBLY
• Take the two chimney ducts A and B (Fig.5)
and rest the lower part of duct A on top of the
hood.
• Fasten duct A to the hood using screws K
(Fig.3), provided.
• Raise the mobile part B until it reaches the
ceiling, making sure it is perpendicular with the
hood.
• Fasten it with the screws M (Fig.5), provided.

INSTALLATION
Electrical Connection
• The hood is intended for a fixed permanent
installation. For the mains voltage and frequency
information, consult the rating plate situated
inside the hood. The power supply cable (type
H05VV-F 3x0.75mm2) connected to the hoods
terminals marked ‘L’ (mains), ‘N’ (neutral) and
fastened by means of the cable clamp. It must
be connected to a suitable and accessible fixed
power point by qualified personnel following
all laws in force, providing for an omnipolar
switch above the electrical connection with a
minimum contact opening of 3mm.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
injury or damage resulting from incorrect
installation and use.

CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning your cooker hood or carry out any
maintenance, switch the omnipolar switch to
OFF to disconnect the hood from the electricity
supply.
CLEANING METAL GREASE FILTERS
The filters must be cleaned every 2 months of
operation, or more frequently with heavy usage,
and can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Remove the filters one at a time by pushing
them towards the back and pulling down at the
same time.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them.
Allow them to dry thoroughly before refitting.
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the
handle is visible on the outside.
NOTE: After every 30 hours of use, the microprocessor which is the heart of the system, indicates
with a flashing letter ‘A’ on the display that the metal grease filters should be cleaned. Cleaning the
filters reduces the fire risk and improves the performance and efficiency of your cooker hood.
Clean the metal grease filters, following instructions in the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section.
After cleaning cancel the warning message as follows:
• Switch off the hood.
• Press and hold Key 2 for more than 5 seconds.
When the key is pressed the letter ‘A’ will
appear on the display, after the 5 seconds the
letter disappears and the microprocessor starts
a new 30 hour count down to the next warning
message.

CARE AND CLEANING
REPLACING THE ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (RECIRCULATION VERSION)
The filter is not washable and must be replaced
(see NOTE below).
• Remove the metal grease filters.
• Remove the saturated activated carbon filters
‘O’ Fig. 15, by turning them clockwise and
then removing them from the guide pegs on the
outdoor venting assembly.
• Dispose of the carbon filters.
• Fit the new filters making sure that the holes fit
well around the guide pegs of the outdoor venting
assembly. Turn them anti-clockwise until you
hear them click into position.
• Replace the metal grease filters.
NOTE: If the hood is used in the recirculation version with carbon filters to purify exhaust fumes,
the microprocessor which is the heart of the system, must first be ‘informed’ that it is managing a
cooker hood in recirculation mode. To do this:
• Switch off the hood.
• Press and hold Key 4 for more than 5 seconds.
When the key is pressed ‘-’ will appear on the
display (indicating that the hood is not using
the carbon filter). After the 5 seconds this
becomes a ‘C’ on the display (indicating that
the hood is using the carbon filter).
When set to using carbon filters, every 120 hours, the microprocessor will indicate with a flashing
‘C’ on the display that the carbon filters need to be replaced.
After replacing the carbon filters, cancel the warning message as follows:
• Switch off the hood.
• Press and hold Key 3 for more than 5 seconds.
When the key is pressed the letter ‘C’ will
appear on the display, after the 5 seconds the
letter disappears and the microprocessor starts
a new 120 hour count down to the next warning
message.

CARE AND CLEANING
LIGHT REPLACEMENT
The hood can be provided with different types of
lamps: incandescent, halogen and neon lamps.
• Incandescent lamps (Fig.6): lamps with E14
cap, 40W power and 230V voltage, generally
olive shaped.
To replace them, remove the grease filters,
unscrew the faulty lamp and screw in the new
one, replace the grease filters. If using an
electronic bulb, use only those with an E14
coupling, max. 11W.
• Halogen lamps (Figs.7 & 8): Fig.7 illustrates
the type of lamps with E14 cap, 50W power
and 230V voltage. To replace them, follow
instructions given above for incandescent lamps.
Fig.8 illustrates the type of lamps with G4 cap,
20W power and 12V voltage.
To replace them, use a screwdriver to remove
the glass support ring A (Fig.9), then remove
the protection glass B. Pull out the used bulb
and replace it with the new one. Replace the
protection glass B fastening it in place with
support ring A. If using a 12V dichroic halogen
(Fig.8a) lamp, use only those with a GU5.3
coupling max. 20W.
• Neon lamps (Fig.10): neon lamps can come
with a ‘mignon’ G5 cap (8W or 13W power and
288mm or 516mm long) or a normal G13 cap,
(15W or 23W power and 437mm or 970mm
long). To replace them, remove the metal grease
filters, detach the neon, rotating it 90 degrees
and pull it out of its housing. Fit the new neon
light then replace the metal grease filters.
• Starter Replacement: for all types of neon
lamps, use a 220-240V / 4-80W Starter (Fig.11).
CLEANING
• Clean with a sponge soaked in warm water and
a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is among
other things a good disinfectant. If you do not
have any, you can use a neutral soap.
• Clean steel parts by rubbing in the direction of
the surface finish.
• DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or
detergents using ammonia.
• NEVER use solvent based products.
Failure to carry out the basic standards of cleaning and replacement of the filters could cause a fire
risk. Therefore you must observe these instructions.
