Frequently Asked Questions - EVX90SS CDA

How do I install the CDA EVX90SS range hood?

Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above electric hobs and 75 cm above gas hobs. Fix the chimney to the wall using suitable fixings and connect the ducting to the outlet.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Grease filters should be cleaned every 2-3 months depending on usage. They can be washed by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher at low temperature.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

If the hood is used in recirculation mode, the charcoal filter should be replaced every 3-6 months. Unscrew the filter grille, remove the old filter and insert the new one.

Why is my hood noisy?

Noise can be caused by loose ducting, a blocked filter or improper installation. Check that the duct is secure and clean the filters. Normal noise levels are up to 65 dB(A).

How do I change the LED lights?

The LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. If they fail, contact CDA customer service for assistance.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode with a charcoal filter (not supplied). The air is filtered and returned into the kitchen.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 650 m³/h, ideal for medium to large sized kitchens.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning or replacing filters, press and hold the timer button for approximately 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off.

What should I do if the hood stops working?

Check the power supply, fuse or circuit breaker. If it still doesn't work, contact CDA customer service.

Is the EVX90SS compatible with a remote control?

No, this model does not include remote control. It is operated via electronic push buttons on the front panel.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

You should use a non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and leave marks on the extractor. You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.

Removing and cleaning the grease filters

To remove the grease filter push in on the button on the handle and pull it down, when the catch is released at the front it can be removed completely. The grease filters should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire, you should remove and clean the grease filters with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filters in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place them in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the grease filter by reversing the removal process. Please note: Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.

Changing the charcoal filters (if fitted)

To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the charcoal filter every four to six months, depending on use. To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters as described above. Offer up the charcoal filter so that the magnetic pins are facing upwards, one to the rear and one to either side. The filter will be held in place by magnetic force. Finally, replace the grease filters

Ducting

The extractor can be used as a recirculation device or as an extraction device, depending on your installation.

The hood is more effective when used in extraction mode (ducted to the outside). When the extractor is ducted to the outside, charcoal filters are not required. The ducting used must be 150mm (6 inches), we recommend rigid circular pipe and must be manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS476 or DIN102-B1.

Wherever possible utilise rigid circular pipe which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding concertina type ducting. The maximum length of ducting without performance being affected is as follows:

• 4 metres with 1 x 90° bend
• 3 metres with 2 x 90° bends
• 2 metres with 3 × 90^ bends

Longer ducting can be used but the performance of the extractor will be reduced.

Please note:

Ducting components and ducting kits are optional accessories and have to be ordered, they are not automatically supplied with the extractor. Use of ducting less than 150mm in diameter will affect the performance and increase the noise produced by the extractor

Recirculation

An internal air vent is required, as shown below. This ensures that the air is placed back in the kitchen after it has been filtered. The internal air vent must be a minimum of 2 metres away from the extractor

Extraction

The extractor is provided with a non-return butterfly valve which should be fitted over the vent outlet before the ducting is fitted. This prevents cold air being blown into the room from outside.

Securing the duct to the outlet

Note that the duct pipe should be secured and sealed to the vent outlet pipe/valve using appropriate ducting tape or a securing clamp.

LED lighting

In case of malfunction of the illumination system contact the technical service.
