Electrolux EFC70710 Cooker Hood fan/light not working

Hello,
My son has an Electrolux EFC70710 Cooker Hood with extractor fan and neither the fan nor light are working. Before he pays for an engineer I thought it would be worth checking if the fuse may have blown. The problem is, I have no idea where the fuse is. There is an isolator switch for rhe hood-is the fuse likely to be inside the switch? If not, any other ideas?
Thanks very much,
E

Probably the first place I'd look.0

Is it like this? If so, the fuse is held in by the small screw. If the fuse has blown, there will be a reason, so it is likely that you/he will need to call a white goods engineer or local electrician.

Sure you haven't accidentally turned off a switch that is inside the kitchen cupboards?Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0

Thanks to all.
Finally discovered that there was a conventional 3 pin plug and socket behind the stainless steel 'chimney', which I dismantled. Fit a new 3 amp fuse and fan worked! Bulbs not working and when I inspected one, I could see the glass part had come away from the holder. Possibly that's what caused fuse to blow? I think the other bulb had gone a while back and just not been changed.
Thanks again for replies.
