Frequently Asked Questions - AD546BE1 BRANDT

How to install the hood?

Draw a horizontal line at at least 70 cm from the hob. Drill the holes according to the templates, insert wall plugs and screw in the fixing screws. Hang the hood, adjust the level and tighten the screws. Connect the extraction duct or install the charcoal filter for recirculation.

What is the minimum distance between the hob and the hood?

The minimum distance is 70 cm. If the instructions for your hob specify a larger distance, that must be respected.

How to change the bulb?

Disconnect the hood from power (unplug or turn off circuit breaker). Remove the metal filters, unscrew the used E14-40W bulb and replace it. Screw it back and replace the filters.

How to clean the metal filters?

Remove the filters and clean them with household detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry. They can also be washed in the dishwasher in an upright position. Avoid abrasive products.

How often should the charcoal filter be changed?

The activated carbon filter should be replaced at least once a year, depending on usage. The filter reference is indicated on the rating plate inside the hood.

Can I use the hood without the metal filters?

No, the hood must not be operated without the metal filters. They are essential for retaining grease and avoiding fire hazards.

What is the recommended extraction duct diameter?

The minimum diameter is 125 mm (adapter supplied). For optimal performance, a diameter of 150 mm is recommended. Limit the number of bends and the length of the duct.

How to switch from extraction mode to recirculation mode?

If switching to recirculation mode, you must install an activated carbon filter and use the plastic deflector supplied instead of the non-return flap. Follow the chimney assembly instructions for recirculation.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

Check the power supply (socket, circuit breaker) and the fuse (10 or 16 A). If the lighting does not work, the bulb may be burnt out. If the problem persists, contact an approved specialist.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts are available from BRANDT approved distributors. To order, provide the complete device reference (type and serial number) on the rating plate inside the hood.

In the case of a kitchen heated by a device connected to a chimney (for example a stove) the "recycling" version of the hood should be installed. Do not use the hood without metal filters.

Suitable ventilation should be ensured for the room when the suction hood is used at the same time as appliances using gas or another combustible fuel.

Installing your hood?

If you possess an outlet to the exterior: fig. 4

Your hood can be connected to this using a flue (minimum ∅ 125 mm, enamelled, made from aluminium, flexible or made from a non-flammable material). If your flue is below 125 mm in diameter, you must obligatorily use the "recycling" mode.

If you do not possess an outlet to the exterior: fig. 5

All of our appliances can be used in recycling mode.

In this case, you should add an active carbon filter which will keep in odours.

Assembling your hood

The hood must be installed in conformity with the applicable regulations concerning the ventilation of premises. In France, these regulations are detailed in DTU 61.1 from the CSTB. In particular, the evacuated air must not channelled into a duct used to evacuate fumes from appliances using gas or combustible fuels. Disused ducts may only be used after approval from a potent specialist.

The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the hood must be 70 cm. If the instructions for the hob installed under the hood specify a distance of more than 70 cm, this requirement must be respected.

• Attach the adhesive foam joint inside the upper register of the lining (fig. 3-A)
• Draw a horizontal line 70 cm minimum from the cooktop.
• Draw a vertical line on the wall running from the ceiling to the lower edge of the hood.
• Place the mounting hole template against the wall (fig. 2).
• Drill the 6 holes. Insert the 6 wall plugs.
• Screw up the top two screws of the hood, but not completely - allow them to protrude by 5 mm.
• Remove the metal filter.
• Attach the suction hood to the two screws (fig. 3-B).
• Screw up the two screws at the bottom.

Adjust the level of your hood before fully tightening up all four screws.

Connecting up your hood

This appliance is delivered with a H 05 VVF power cable with 2 conductors of 0.75 mm2 (neutral, live). This must be connected to the 220-240 V single phase mains network via a CEI 60083 card plug which must remain accessible following installation. We will not be in the event of an accident arising following incorrect installation. The for your installation must be 10 or 16A. If the power cable is damaged, he after sales service department in order to avoid danger.

Assembling the chimney

Hood to be used with external evacuation : fig. 4 and 8

• Attach the metal chimney bracket to the wall, also placing this against the ceiling (fig. 6).
• Assemble the back flow valve at the motor outlet (fig. A). This back flow valve permits blocking of airflow from outside.
• In the case of a flue with a diameter of 125 mm, use the adapter supplied (fig. 8/fig. B).
  If your exterior duct is below 125 mm, you must obligatorily connect your hood in recycling mode
• Prepare your telescopic chimney taking care to block off the vents (fig. 8).
  Fit the chimneys into one another as far as they will go.
• Fit the upper part to the metal bracket.
• Adjust the length of the telescopic chimney by bringing down the lower part and fitting it to the top of the hood.

To ensure optimal use of your device, we advise that you connect a flue with diameter of 150 mm (not supplied). Limit the number of angles and bends as far as possible, and keep the length of the flue to a minimum. In the event that the hood will be functioning using exterior evacuation, you should ensure a sufficient inlet of fresh air to avoid a pressure deficiency in the room.

Hood to be used in "recycling" mode: fig. 5 and 9

• Fit the plastic smoke deflector to the wall also placing this against the ceiling.
  Take care to centre the deflector vis-à-vis the vertical line drawn on the wall (fig. 7).
• Prepare your chimney taking care to place the vents toward the top to ensure that they are visible (fig. 9).
• Fit the upper part to the plastic deflector.
• Adjust the length of the telescopic chimney by bringing down the lower part and fitting it into the top of the hood.

Changing the lamp ?

Before carrying out any work, the power supply to the hood must be turned off, either by unplugging it or by using the circuit breaker switch.

1. Remove metal filters (fig. 10).
2. Unscrew then change the E14-40W bulb (fig. 11).
3. Replace the metal filters.

Cleaning your hood ?

The power supply to the hood must be turned off either by removing the plug or by using the circuit breaker switch before you remove the metal filters. After cleaning, the metal filters must be refitted in conformity with the instructions.

	FILTER CARTRIDGE	ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
	Remove the protective film before using the filter cartridge for the first time.	For hoods installed in "recycling" mode.
MAINTENANCE	VITAL EVERY MONTHTo avoid all risks of fire.	VITAL EVERY YEARTo avoid all risks of fire.
WHY?	This filter traps fatty vapours and dust. This component plays an important part in ensuring the effectiveness of your hood.	This filter traps odours and must be changed at least once a year depending on your level of use.
HOW?	Use a commercial household cleaning product then rinse abundantly and dry. This cleaning can be carried out in your dishwasher in the vertical position (ensure that the cartridge never comes into contact with dirty crockery or silver tableware).	You should order these filters from your dealer (quoting the reference shown on the ID plate located inside the hood) and note the date the filter was changed.

Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive products or excessively stiff brushes.

To clean the body and the lighting port, you should use only commercial household cleaning products diluted in water and then rinse using clean water, drying with a soft cloth.

Dismantling the filter cartridge (fig. 10)

Assembling the carbon filter (fig. 12)

1. Remove the cartridges.
2. Place the carbon filter on the cartridge, on the inner side of the hood.
3. Fit the 2 fastener clips.
4. Repeat this operation on all of the cartridges.
