when lee doherty renovated his new home, he used some of the worlds finest hotels as his inspiration
Words Emma Chappel PhotographY Robert Sanderson
hrough his jet-setting job, Lee Doherty has stayed in some of the most luxurious hotels in the world, and has come to appreciate good interior design. I love the look of the Delano in Miami, the Bulgari in Milan and Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons in Oxfordshire, he says. So when I set about renovating my home in Bath, I used them all as inspiration. Lee first visited this Georgian city in the early 1980s. It was a cold, but nevertheless beautiful day, and I immediately thought, This place is absolutely stunning, he recalls. The architecture, the green spaces, the bars and restaurants were all so appealing, and Ive wanted to live here ever since. This apartment is Lees second property in Bath his first had proved far too small for entertaining, which prompted him to start house-hunting. When I saw this place, its hillside location was easily the most striking thing about it, Lee says. Indeed, the large sitting and dining rooms offered panoramas across the city, but the interior was far from captivating. It was traditional and dated, he continues, but I decided that, done properly, the apartment could be a wonderful home, and it certainly offered all the space I needed for dinner parties, so I bought it. The propertys period look was something Lee wanted to preserve, but he was also keen to bring the decor up to date. He had a concept of how his new home should feel but knew he needed help, and it was another hotel, this time right on his doorstep, that would guide him to it. Id been to the Queensberry Hotel in Bath for lunch, says Lee. Its smart yet relaxed schemes were just what I was going for. Lee got in touch with the designer responsible for the look, Claire Collins, and together they worked out the colour palettes and other visual details, with Lee moving out as the builders moved in. Next, the walls

between the kitchen, dining and sitting rooms were knocked through, and the apartment was rewired and replumbed, ready for a new kitchen and bathroom suite to be installed. Because the living spaces were now quite open-plan, I didnt really want the kitchen units to look too utilitarian, with handles and knobs everywhere, Lee explains. I was after a sleek look, albeit on a budget. Unusually, the extractor fan was the first item he settled on, and the rest of the kitchen evolved around that. I love its angled shape, says Lee. I was sick of banging my head on my last one, which protruded at a 90-degree angle from the wall. Claires design for the fireplace in the dining room sums up Lees brief of a modern twist on a traditional theme, as does the furniture that Lee has carefully hand-picked. For example, a contemporary L-shaped sofa joins the Arts and Crafts-style armchair and walnut drinks cabinet in the sitting room. The cabinet belonged to my nan, says Lee. It had stood next to a window for 40 years and was parched white. When Nan passed away, her house was cleared and the cabinet was thrown into a skip. I rescued it and had it restored by a French polisher. When it came to colour, Lee was guided by a simple philosophy. I wanted something quite light but with a degree of warmth, he says. A natural stone tone was selected for the walls throughout the apartment, with a paler, off-white shade used for the woodwork, window shutters and the ceilings. Even the bathroom adheres to this neutral scheme, its swirling marble tiles and wallmounted taps chosen to recreate the look of the magnificent en suites at the Bulgari. But this was also the room that saw Lees ongoing problems with his builders coming to a head. They were great at knocking things down, but getting them to work to a decent standard was a constant battle, remembers Lee. When they messed up all the tiling in the bathroom, it was the final straw and I had to ask them to leave. When theyd gone, the first time I flushed the toilet it overflowed theyd managed to block the u-bend with debris. Left with a snagging list that ran to eight pages, Lee brought in a new team of craftsmen to finish the job. Despite everything, Im delighted with the final result, he says. Thanks to Claire, Ive achieved what I set out to do combine traditional elements with a modern feel. Its an elegant home to come back to, and while I still spend a lot of time in hotels, this is my favourite suite in the world. BH

Safety warnings

For the user
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. Always cover heating elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames. Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under careful control. The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating. The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty. It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire. Never carry out any flamb cooking under the hood. Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker). It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

For the installer

When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose. Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier. When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 300 mm gas cookers 300 mm coal and oil cookers 400 mm min. The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms. The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed. 54
The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant authorities. When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole. National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room. Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood. If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspectors office. Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood. If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the aforementioned measures. When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation: short and straight outlet hose keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve. keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole). Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Description of the Appliance
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a filtering function by fitting one charcoal filter. You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local AEG Service Force Centre).

Extractor version

In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring. Fig. 1. In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole. Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/ 125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier. reduction flange coupling ring

Filter Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen. You will need an original AEG charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See Special Accessories). Fix the deflector using 2 screws 3.5x9.5 mm. Fig. 2. Fig. 2 Deflector

Control Panel

Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking, you will then get an under pressure in the kitchen. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The hood operation can be controlled via the control ball or with the remote control (the remote control is a special accessory and is ordered separately). Every change (changing speed, switching on the lights, etc.) is recognizable from the variation of light emitted by the control ball and by an acoustic signal. The control ball is located below on the right side of the cooker hood. The control ball is also a light signal : No signal : The hood is switched off. Static green light : Hood is switched on at power level 1 (minimum). Static orange light : Hood is switched on at power level 2 (medium). Static red light : Hood is switched on at power level 3 (maximum). Flashing red light : Hood is switched on at intensive power level (timed at 5 minutes) Flashing green light : Indicates the grease filter saturation - clean the grease filter Flashing orange light : Indicates the charcoal filter saturation - clean or replace the charcoal filter. Attention! The control ball flashes orange to indicate the saturation of the charcoal filter even if the hood is used in the extractor version and no charcoal filter is fitted. In this case, perform the signal reset operation as follows: select the intensive speed (the control ball lights up with a red flashing light), depress again and hold depressed for about 3 seconds until an audible signal indicates the reset has taken place. 57
Switching on the hood - Fig. 3
The control ball is a balancer switch. Depressing the control ball repeatedly towards the bottom, switches on the hood and you may select the motor level desired, depressing once again the hood switches off.

Led signal for grease filter
The LED signal flickers (flickering green light) when the grease filter requires cleaning, occurs at about 40 operating hours. Ensure that the indicator light is checked each time the hood is used.
Led signal for charcoal filter
The LED signal flickers (flickering orange light) when the charcoal filter requires cleaning, occurs at about 160 operating hours. Ensure that the indicator light is checked each time the hood is used.
Re-setting the saturation signal
After cleaning or replacing the filter, select the intensive speed (the control ball lights up with a red flashing light), depress again and hold depressed for about 3 seconds until an audible signal indicates the reset has taken place.

Maintenance and care

The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning the hood

Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products. Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid. Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders. Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents. It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Metal grease filter

The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal recycling function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks. To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels Extract which conceal the grease filter.

Removing the front panels:
Extract the small panel, rotate upwards and unhook. Repeat the operation for all the small panels. Fig. 4. Unhook Bild 3

Removing the metal grease filter
Pull the handle downards, then extract the filter.Fig. 5.

Handle

Hand washing Soak grease filter(s) for about one hour in hot water with a greaseFig. 5 loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. Dishwasher Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes). After having re-installed the grease filter, remount the front panels following the instructions for removal in reverse. The narrower front panel is to be mounted at the highest position.

Charcoal filter

The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function. To do this you will need an original AEG charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65 C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a temperature of maximum 100C. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced. Fitting Fit the charcoal filter on the rear side of the grease filter, fix it with two metal wires. Fig. 6. To remove proceed in the charcoal filter reverse order. Always specify the hood metal wires model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the registration plate located on the inside of the unit. The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local AEG Service Force Centre. Fig. 6 grease filter

Warning

Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow these instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Changing the light bulb

Disconnect the cooker hood from the main supply. Remove the lamp, use a screw driver as a lever. Fig. 7. Remove the connector. Replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type. Refit the connector. If the light does not come on, make sure the bulb has been inserted correctly before contacting your local Service Force Centre.
