Frequently Asked Questions - CC61EP250 Coldex

How do I install the range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted securely at least 65 cm above gas cooktops or 50 cm above electric cooktops. Connect the exhaust duct to the outlet (150 mm diameter).

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every month with warm water and mild detergent, or in the dishwasher. This maintains optimal airflow and performance.

Do I need to replace the charcoal filter?

If the hood is used in recirculation mode, replace the charcoal filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage. A saturated filter reduces odor removal efficiency.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can be caused by loose installation, blocked ducts, or dirty filters. Check that the hood is securely mounted, the duct is unobstructed, and clean the grease filter. Normal noise level is up to 65 dB(A).

How do I change the LED light?

The LED lights are built-in and should be replaced by a qualified technician. If the light fails, contact Coldex service for replacement LED modules.

Can I use the hood without an exhaust duct?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode. You need to install a charcoal filter (not included) to filter odors before air is recirculated into the room.

What is the maximum airflow?

The maximum airflow is 650 m³/h at highest speed. This is sufficient for medium-sized kitchens. For best performance, use the shortest and straightest duct possible.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning or replacing filters, press and hold the speed button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This resets the filter saturation reminder.

What should I do if the motor stops working?

Check the power cord and circuit breaker. If the problem persists, the motor may have triggered a thermal protection feature. Let it cool down for 30 minutes and restart. If still not working, contact service.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts like filters, LED bulbs, and motors are available through authorized Coldex service centers. Check the manual for part numbers or visit our website for replacement parts.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire
• 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.
