Frequently Asked Questions - C 762 TEKA

How do I install the Teka C 762 kitchen hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above the cooking surface for electric hobs and 75 cm for gas hobs. Use the provided bracket and follow the installation manual. For ducted mode, connect to an external vent; for recirculating mode, install the carbon filters.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters should be cleaned every month or when the filter saturation indicator (if available) lights up. They can be washed in the dishwasher with a mild detergent. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.

How do I replace the carbon filter?

Carbon filters are used in recirculating mode. They cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6 months or more often if the hood is used heavily. To replace, remove the grease filter, slide out the old carbon filter, and insert the new one. Ensure it locks into place.

Why is my Teka C 762 hood making noise?

Noise can come from loose parts, dirty filters, or improper installation. Check that the hood is securely mounted. Clean the grease filters, as a clogged filter can cause increased noise. If the noise persists, contact customer support.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, the Teka C 762 can be used in recirculating mode. You will need to install carbon filters (available separately) to purify the air before releasing it back into the kitchen. The hood comes with a recirculation kit.

How do I control the hood speeds?

The hood has 3 speeds plus a boost function. Press the speed button to cycle through settings (low, medium, high). The boost function runs at maximum power for a limited time to quickly remove strong odors. Use the timer button to set an automatic shut-off.

What type of light bulb does the hood use?

The Teka C 762 uses LED lights (2 x 3 W). These are energy-efficient and long-lasting. To replace, gently pry the light cover and pull out the old LED module. Insert the new one, ensuring it clicks into place. Use only genuine Teka replacement parts.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning or replacing filters, the filter alarm indicator (if present) needs to be reset. With the hood off, press and hold the speed button for 3-5 seconds until the indicator turns off or flashes. Refer to the user manual for exact instructions.

What are the dimensions of the Teka C 762?

The hood is 90 cm wide, 50 cm deep, and has a height range of 60-110 cm (including chimney). The telescopic chimney can be adjusted to fit different ceiling heights. Weight is approximately 15 kg.

Is the Teka C 762 suitable for island installation?

This model is designed for wall-mounted installation. For island installation, you would need a specific island hood kit or a different model. Check your ceiling structure and consult a professional.

Two achieve better extraction, we recommend switching on the extractor a few minutes before starting to cook (3 - 5 minutes) so that the air flow is continuous and stable when extracting the fumes.

Likewise, keep the extractor switched on for a few minutes when cooking is complete to allow all fumes and odours to be expelled.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance activities, ensure that the extractor is disconnected from the mains.

To carry out cleaning and maintenance, follow the safety instructions indicated on Page 15.

Filter cleaning

To withdraw the filters from their locations release the anchoring points. Clean the filter, either by putting it in the dishwasher (see notes) or leaving it standing in hot water to simplify the removal of grease or, if wished, by means of special sprays (protecting the non metallic parts). Once clean, leave it to dry,

Notes: cleaning in the dishwasher with aggressive detergents may blacken the surface of metallic parts, without this affecting its gas retaining properties.

N.B. The filter must be cleaned at least once a month depending on how often the extractor is used. It must be remembered that grease is deposited in the extractor when cooking, whether it is switched on or not.

Cleaning of the extractor body

The use of warm (40°C approx.) soapy water is recommended. A cloth moistened in this water is used for cleaning the extractor, paying special attention to the grids. Afterwards, dry using a lint-free cloth.

Note: Never use metallic scouring pads or abrasive products that could damage the surface.

Do not use scrapers with metallic surfaces such as knives, scissors etc.

Activated charcoal filter

To install the charcoal filter, disassemble the lid, locate the filter in the position provided and reassemble the lid.

The carbon filter lasts from three to six months depending on the particular conditions of use.

The activated carbon filter can neither be washed nor regenerated. Once it is exhausted, it must be changed.

To replace exhausted filters with new ones, withdraw the old one in the reverse order to that of installation.

Changing Bulbs

Remove the filter support to access the bulbs. Take care to disconnect the hood from the mains beforehand and that the bulbs to be replaced are not hot.

The maximum bulb power is 40 W.

Installation

To fix the extractor to the kitchen unit the pattern on page 20 is used.

The lower part of the extractor must be located at a minimum height of 60 cm above the hob for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas cookers. If the instructions of a gas cooker indicate a greater distance these must be observed.

The extractor must be connected to a wall socket with an effective earth.

When the extractor is working at the same time as other non-electrical cooking equipment, the outlet air pressure must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10 ⁶ bar).

To achieve optimum performance the length of the outlet hose should not exceed 4 meters, or include more than two 90° angles (elbows).

Although venting to the outside is recommended, activated carbon filters may be used, which allow the gas to be returned to the kitchen through the outlet pipe.

To evacuate via the upper part, an external evacuation conduit is needed and the evacuation lever to be located in the "E" position. The small (anti-return) outlet

hose is located, ensuring that the remaining outlets are duly plugged. To allow recirculation through the active carbon the evacuation lever is located in the "I" position, ensuring that the upper opening is plugged. Then the activated carbon filter is located in the inlet mouth.
