Before you think about fixing, give careful consideration to the power
connection. It is vital that the supply cable should be well shielded from
your grill, hob or oven. If it isn’t, heat from any one of these sources may
damage the cable insulation and give rise to a fire risk. Under no
circumstances should the exposed power supply cable come within
70cm of a direct source of heat, Ideally it should be channeled into the
wall, well out of harm’s way.
In order to protect your appliance and minimise the risk of fire, don’t
barbecue food directly under the extractor. Similarly, do not prepare
flambé dishes immediately under the extractor. Your extractor is
designed to draw gases up and away from your hob. This means that
exposed flames may behave unpredictably in the vicinity of the
appliance while it is switch on. When frying take particular care to
prevent the oil from catching fire and never leave unattended.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, ensure
your extractor is disconnected from the power source.
GENERAL CLEANING: Regular and thorough maintenance guarantee
will provide long lasting operation.
Wipe the external surface of the appliance regularly using warm water
and a mild detergent, never use products containing abrasive.
Particular care must be paid to the grease filtering panels which must be
periodically cleaned in relation to use (at least once every two months)
1. Extraction Via Ducting (fig.1)
The very best method of cleaning the kitchen of unwanted odours is
by connecting the appliance to an exhaust duct and venting to the
outside atmosphere via an exterior wall (suitable ducting kits may be
purchased from the store where you buy your extractor.) Ducting
your extractor negates the need for charcoal filters.(Fig.1)
Remember: Before drilling or chiseling the wall, check for pipes and
power cables.
1. Ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and
with minimum of bends to permit smooth airflow. (Maximum
length 3M)
