Frequently Asked Questions - AKO6001RVS INVENTUM

How do I install the hood properly?

Read the installation manual. The hood can be mounted on the wall or under a cupboard. Use the provided drilling template. Ensure minimum distances: 65 cm for electric/induction hob, 75 cm for gas. Connect to a duct or use recirculation mode with a carbon filter (not included).

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the metal grease filters at least once a month. You can wash them by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low temperature cycle. Make sure they are completely dry before reinstalling.

How do I replace the carbon filter?

The carbon filter (model 2KSF002, not included) should be replaced every 3 months. To replace: switch off power, remove the grease filters, attach the new carbon filter(s) to the motor, then replace the grease filters.

What type of light bulb do I need and how to change it?

Use an E14 bulb with a maximum of 28W. To change: unplug the hood, open the glass visor, remove the grease filters, unscrew the old bulb and replace with a new one, then reassemble.

The hood is noisy or not working properly. What could be wrong?

Check if the exhaust pipe is blocked or has a diameter smaller than 120 mm. Clean or replace the grease filters if clogged. If using recirculation, ensure the carbon filter is not saturated. Also check for proper air supply in the room.

Can I use the hood without a carbon filter?

Yes, if you connect the hood to an external duct (vent outside mode). The carbon filter is only needed for recirculation mode. In that case, the filter must be installed to remove odors.

What is the difference between model AKO6001 and AKO6002?

AKO6001 has one motor and a maximum flow rate of 180 m³/h, while AKO6002 has two motors and 314 m³/h. Both have similar dimensions and other features.

How do I register for the extended warranty?

Register your appliance within 45 days of purchase on www.inventum.eu to get a 5-year warranty (valid only in the Netherlands). Keep your proof of purchase.

What should I do if the motor does not start?

Check if the plug is connected properly and there is power. If using fixed wiring, ensure the circuit breaker is on. Also inspect the fuse or circuit if needed. If still not working, contact Inventum service.

Is it safe to flambé under the hood?

No, never flambé under the cooker hood. The flames can cause a fire hazard. Always use the hood with the grease filter installed and avoid open flames.

1 safety instructions

- Please read these instructions before operating the appliance and retain for future use.

- The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within the home. The appliance is suitable for extraction of air to the outside or for recirculation.

- Before plugging into a socket, check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance.

- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, as well by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless supervised.

- Life-threatening: danger of poisoning through backdrafting of combustion gasses!

- Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that consumes air from the room, unless the room is sufficiently ventilated. Cooking appliances that consume air in the room (such as equipment that heats using gas, oil, wood or coal, geysers, hot water appliances) draw the combustion air out of the room and carry these gasses outside via the outlet (eg. chimney). In combination with an activated cooker hood, air is withdrawn from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates negative pressure if there is insufficient air supply. Poisonous gasses from the chimney or outlet channel are then backdrafted into the living area. Always provide adequate ventilation!

• The maximum permitted negative pressure is 4 Pa.
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.
• In relation with electrical safety, the appliance shall not be cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
• Warning: Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is switched off before replacing the lighting or cleaning the appliance.
• Do not use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been fitted properly!

• Do not lean against the cooker hood.

• Never use the cooker hood as a working surface unless this is indicated explicitly.

• If the cooker hood is used in combination with a gas hob ensure sufficient ventilation.
• The outlet should not be connected to a flue duct used by other appliances.
• Never flambé under a cooker hood and clean the filters on time. To prevent hot fat catching fire you should only deep fry under continuous supervision.
• The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly both on the outside as well as the inside (at least 1 x a month). Insufficient cleaning or a delay in the replacement of filters can cause fire hazard.
• The grease filters can become hot during use. After cooking wait at least 30 minutes before cleaning.

3 before the first use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.

This appliance should be installed and connected to the power supply by a recognized fitter who is familiar with, and works according to the correct safety regulations.

How to install the appliance, is instructed in the installation instructions (chapter 7).

The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must correspond with the details on the rating label of the appliance.

EXTRACTION SYSTEM

This cooker hood can be connected in two ways: to a duct or as a recirculation hood. Install the cooker hood according to the instructions depending on your choice.

VENT OUTSIDE - to a duct, the cooking vapours extracted by suction are carried outside, once the grease particles have been filtered. This is the best method. Mount a flexible exhaust-air pipe on the hood and turn the air distribution lever to the correct position - VENT OUTSIDE

RECIRCULATE - as a recirculation hood, the grease particles and the smell in the extracted vapours are filtered. The air that has been sucked in is not carried outside but recirculates in the kitchen. In this case you must have a carbon filter fitted. Place the supplied lid on the back of the hood and turn the air distribution lever to the correct position - RECIRCULATE

Clean the in- and outside of the cooker hood regularly. Clean the cooker hood with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. If your model is stainless steel, clean it with a stainless steel care product. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents such as powder cleaners or cleaners that contain alcohol. Clean the controls only with a damp cloth.

Attention: failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations can cause fire risks.

GREASE FILTERS

A metal grease filter filters the fat particles in the air. Therefore the filter can get clogged, depending on the use. The metal grease filter does not have to be replaced, but should at least be cleaned once a month. You can clean it either by hand or in the dishwasher on a low temperature. Make sure the grease filters are competely dry before placing them back.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

Not cleaning the grease filters on time can cause fire risks.

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher can cause discoloration. This has no effect on the operation.

REMOVING THE GREASE FILTER

Switch off the electricity! Remove the plug from the socket. Pull the grease filter towards you and tilt it downwards at the front. Make sure you guide the grease filter with you other hand to prevent the grease filter from falling down on your cooking appliance.
