Frequently Asked Questions - AKM9004 INVENTUM

How do I install the INVENTUM AKM9004 range hood?

Install the hood under a cabinet or on the wall, ensuring proper ducting or recirculation setup. Follow the manual for exact distances (min. 65 cm above gas hob, 50 cm above electric hob). Use the included mounting kit.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every month by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Let it dry completely before reinserting.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, but you need to purchase a charcoal filter (not included). Install it behind the grease filter. Replace it every 3-6 months.

What do I do if the hood is noisy?

Check if the ducting is blocked or if the filter is clogged. Ensure the hood is securely mounted. If noise persists, contact support.

How do I replace the light bulb?

Disconnect power. Remove the lamp cover (if any). Replace with a bulb of the same type and wattage (e.g., 40W halogen or LED). Reassemble.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The AKM9004 can extract up to approximately 600 m³/h. This may vary based on duct length and installation conditions.

Does the hood work without ducting?

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 through a CMV system.
• 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.
