The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black.

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 qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size ie. 0.75mm2 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.

Grease Filters (see Fig.2) These must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dish-washer, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle (f). Carbon Filters (see Figs.2 and 3) It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The active carbon filter must NEVER be washed. The active carbon filter should be changed every 4 months in normal use. Mounting and replacing the Carbon filters: a. Disconnect the hood from the electricity. b. Remove the grease filters (Fig. 2). c. If Carbon filters have not been previously installed, place one active carbon filter on each side so that they cover the grates protecting the rotor on the motor. Then turn the centre handle in the clockwise direction (Fig. 3) to lock the filters in place. d. If the Carbon filters have already been installed (covering the grates protecting the rotor on the motor) and need to be replaced, turn the central handle in the counter-clockwise direction until the Carbon filters are unlocked. e. Refit the the metal grease filters. Replacing Lamps (see Fig.4) Firstly, if the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings. If they still don not work they are easy to replace. Replacement bulbs are available from Hotpoint Genuine Parts and Accessories (see Key Contacts, back page). Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you do not touch them with your hands. Access the light compartment: extract the guard by levering it off with a small screwdriver or similar tool (fig. 4). Make sure that the lamps have cooled before replacing them. Replace the burnt out light bulb. Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).

If you do not have any, you can use a neutral soap. • DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents using ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products. WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic standards of cleaning and replacement of the filters could cause a fire risk...
