Frequently Asked Questions - TGU90BK Technika

How do I install the Technika TGU90BK range hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted securely to the wall at the recommended height above the cooktop (65-75 cm for electric, 75-85 cm for gas). Connect the ducting for external extraction or install carbon filters for recirculation. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage. Remove the filter and wash it with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Allow it to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the TGU90BK can be used in recirculation mode with an optional carbon filter. This mode filters the air and returns it to the kitchen. The carbon filter should be replaced every 3-6 months.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 650 m³/h in boost mode. Regular speeds are 3 levels with lower airflow.

How do I replace the LED lights?

The hood uses 2 x 1.5 W LED lights. To replace, remove the lamp cover (usually snapped or screwed), disconnect the old light, and connect the new one. Ensure the power is off before handling.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can be due to loose parts, a dirty filter, or improper installation. Check that the hood is securely mounted and filters are clean. If noise persists, contact customer support.

What should I do if the hood doesn't turn on?

First, check the power supply and ensure the plug is connected. Check the circuit breaker. If it still doesn't work, the motor or control board may be faulty. Contact a technician.

Does the hood come with a remote control?

No, the TGU90BK is controlled via push buttons on the front panel. There is no remote control included.

Can I extend the ducting?

Yes, but the duct length should not exceed 3 meters for optimal performance. Use smooth, rigid ducting with a diameter of 150 mm to minimize airflow resistance.

How do I activate the auto shut-off timer?

Press and hold the timer button (if available) until the indicator lights up. The hood will run for 15 minutes and then automatically turn off. Refer to the manual for specific model features.

Safety Precautions

Take care when the Range Hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on natural ventilation as the Range Hood removes air from the room, which a burner or fireplace may need for combustion.

Provide adequate ventilation for safe operation of the Range Hood. Follow any local laws that apply to external air evacuation.

Before connecting to the electricity network:

Look at the data plate (located inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the available power supply and the power outlet is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

If the appliance is used intensively for a long period of time, you may need to opening a window to improve airflow.

WARNINGS!

- Do not check the status of the filters while the Range Hood is operating.

- Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after use.

- CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

- Do not flambé under the Range Hood.

- Avoid free flame, as it is damaging to the filters and can cause fire hazard.

- Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- There shall be adequate ventilation in the room when the Range Hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

- There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

- WARNING: DO NOT penetrate any screws into the range hood as this may result in electrical hazards.

- WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

WARNINGS!

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• The minimum distance between the cooktop hob and the lowest part of the range hood shall be at least 60cm. If the instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
• Regulation concerning the discharge of air has to be fulfilled.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHING THE ABOVE WARNINGS.

Use and Care

Cleaning your rangehood

The proper function of the rangehood requires regular maintenance operations.

The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.

In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a minimum of every 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:

• Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
• The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.

The aluminum panels may alter in color after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.

Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.

Keep motor and other parts free from water as this will cause damage to the appliance.

Removing the anti grease filters:

1. Open the hinged glass panel
2. Slide the plastic filter handle inwards and pull the filter down.

To refit the filters

1. Angle the tabs on the filter into slots at one end.
2. Slide plastic filter handle inwards and push the filter into place.
3. Close the hinged glass panel.
