Frequently Asked Questions - KH 17129-4 E AMICA

How to install the KH 17129-4 E range hood?

Installation must be carried out by a professional. Mount the hood on the wall above the cooktop, maintaining a minimum distance of 65 cm for an electric stove and 75 cm for a gas stove. Connect the exhaust duct (diameter 150 mm) or install a carbon filter for recirculation mode.

How to clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher (low temperature cycle) or by hand with hot water and detergent. Let them dry before reinstalling. Clean them every 2 months or more often with heavy use.

How to replace the carbon filter?

The carbon filter is located behind the grease filter. Unclip the old one and insert the new one (ref. F005). It should be replaced approximately every 6 months. Do not wash or regenerate the carbon filter.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

Check that the hood is plugged in and the fuse is not tripped. If the lighting does not work, replace the LED bulbs (ref. LED001). If the motor does not start, contact customer service.

The hood makes an abnormal noise, what to do?

Excessive noise may be due to a clogged filter or blocked exhaust duct. Clean the filters and check the duct. If the noise persists, the motor may be defective: call a technician.

How to use the hood in recirculation mode?

For use without external evacuation, install an active carbon filter (sold separately). The carbon filter purifies the air before recirculating it into the room. Be sure to change the filter regularly.

What is the safety distance between the hood and the cooktop?

For an electric stove, the minimum distance is 65 cm; for a gas stove, 75 cm. Respect these distances to avoid fire risk and ensure good suction.

How to adjust the suction speed?

The hood has 3 speeds: use speed 1 for gentle cooking, speed 2 for normal cooking, and speed 3 for strong odors or steam. Operate the push buttons on the control panel.

Can the hood be used without the grease filter?

No, the grease filter is mandatory to protect the motor from greasy residues. Use without filter may damage the hood and void the warranty.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts are available from Amica customer service or on the official website. Common references: grease filter (ref. F100), carbon filter (ref. F005), LED bulb (ref. LED001). Consult the manual for more details.

NOTES ON SAFETY

• Before using the appliance, please carefully read this manual!
• The appliance is designed for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to follow instructions in this manual.
• Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.
• Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The length of the duct (usually a pipe of ∅ 120 or 150 mm) should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in absorption mode.
• Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
• The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
• Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the

wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

• For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).
• Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.

- When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, because overheated fat can ignite.

- Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the filter or repair work.

- Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flammable.

- Ensure adequate ventilation (air flow) if other equipment such as liquid fuel stoves or heaters are operated in the room in addition the cooker hood. When the cooker hood is simultaneously operated with burning appliances requiring adequate fresh air from the room to work properly, their safe operation is possible if under pressure around these appliances is a maximum of 0.004 mbar (this does not apply when the cooker hood is used as an odour filter)

- Do not lean on the hood.

- The hood should be cleaned regularly both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, following the indications concerning maintenance provided in this manual)..Failure to adhere to the rules concerning cleaning the hood and replacing filters results in a fire risk.

- If the power cord is damaged it should be replaced by a specialised service centre.

- Ensure that it is possible to disconnect the ap-

pliance from the mains by removing the plug or switching off the bi-polar switch.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical, mental or sensory handicaps, or by persons inexperienced or unfamiliar with the appliance, unless under supervision or in accordance with the instructions as communicated to them by persons responsible for their safety.

Other important information concerning the operation of the hood

Operation in air circulation / odour filter mode. In this mode, the filtered air returns to the room through the outlets. Install activated charcoal filter in this setting. It is recommended to install the air guide (available depending on the model, mainly in chimney cooker hoods).

Air extraction operation: When cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is discharged outside through an extraction duct. Remove activated charcoal filter in this setting. The cooker hood is connected to the air outlet opening using a rigid or flexible extraction duct with a diameter of 150 or 120 mm, and the appropriate clamps, which must be purchased at a hardware store. The appliance should be installed by a qualified installer.

Fan speed: Lowest and medium fan speed is used in normal conditions and less intense odours, while the highest speed is used only when cooking odours are very intense, such as during frying or grilling.

Note (applies to universal hoods only): Due to the design of universal hoods you need to manually change the mode of operation. See Figure 8 for instructions on how to change the mode.

Note (only applies to telescopic and in-built kitchen hoods): Furniture and telescopic cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require installation of the exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be directed to the room as it will discharge filtered air.

Note: Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour absorber mode

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the appliance will ensure trouble-free operation of the cooker hood and extend its life. Especially make sure that the grease filter and activated charcoal filter are replaced according to manufacturer's recommendations.
