This document provides instructions for the TH60SS Cooker Hood, covering its installation, operation, maintenance, and technical specifications.

Function Description

The TH60SS Cooker Hood is designed to extract air from the kitchen to remove odours and maintain an optimum level of air quality. It also provides illumination for the cooking area. The appliance can be installed in two ways: ducted option or recirculation option. In the ducted option, air is extracted and vented outside, while in the recirculation option, air is filtered and returned to the kitchen.

Ventilation Requirements:

When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10⁻⁵ bar).
The room must have adequate ventilation if an extractor hood is used simultaneously with appliances that run on gas or other fuels.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Usage Features

The cooker hood is designed for domestic use only. Switching On/Off:

The appliance is switched on at the switched fused connection unit.
Lamp Switch: "O" for Lamp off, "I" for Lamp on.
Motor Switch: "O" for Motor off, "I" for Motor speed low, "II" for Motor speed high.
For best results, it is recommended to leave the cooker hood on for 15 minutes after cooking.

The bulb may be hot; allow 10 minutes for it to cool before replacement.
Turn to remove the bulb. (Specific instructions for removal are shown visually in the manual).

Filter Maintenance:

Aluminium Filters (Grease Filters):
- Clean thoroughly once a month or whenever the display pilot light lights up (if fitted) to avoid fires.
- Remove filters and soak in hot water and detergent for an hour.
- If using a dishwasher, position filters vertically to improve the cleaning process.
Active Charcoal Filters (for Recirculation Mode):
- Replace every 3 months.
- Model Number for Carbon Filter: 02825263 (UK & IE).
- Ordering Hotline: 0344 800 1128 (UK), 014475261 (IE).
Note: Increase filter cleaning/replacement frequency if the hood is used for more than 2 hours a day. Always use genuine filters from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting table for common issues:

Excessive vibration: Check if installed properly, fan blade damaged, or fan motor not fixed tightly.
Light on, but motor does not work: Fan blade jammed or motor damaged.
Both light and motor do not work: Light bulb blown or power connection loose.
Suction performance reduced: Speed too low, distance to hob too great, aluminium grease filter dirty, top vent obstructed, or optional vent kit twisted.
Works normally but cooking smells linger: Charcoal filter not fitted in recirculation mode or charcoal filter is full of grease.

Environmental Protection:

Dispose of packing material carefully.
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Recycle where facilities exist.
