Frequently Asked Questions - IHT 6.5 C M IX INDESIT

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

For a gas hob, the minimum distance is 65 cm. For an electric hob, it is 55 cm. Always check your hob's manual.

How to clean the grease filter of the Indesit IHT 6.5 C M IX hood?

The grease filter must be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a mild detergent, or in the dishwasher on a low temperature and short cycle. To remove it, pull the spring handle.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter should be replaced every 20 months approximately, depending on usage. This filter cannot be washed or regenerated. To change it, press the two front levers to unclip it.

How to replace a bulb of the hood?

Disconnect the hood from the mains and remove the grease filters. If they are halogen bulbs, pry with a small screwdriver to remove the cover, then replace with a bulb of the same specifications (25 W, G9 base). For LED models, contact the assistance service.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check there is no power outage and that a speed has been selected. Also check the circuit breaker. If nothing works, unplug the hood for 5 seconds then plug it back in. If the problem persists, contact the assistance service.

The hood is not sucking well, what to check?

Check that the selected speed is suitable for the amount of smoke. Make sure the kitchen is adequately ventilated. If your hood is in recirculation version, the charcoal filter may be saturated. In extraction version, check that the duct is not blocked.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, it is strictly forbidden to use the hood without the grease filter properly installed. This could damage the motor and create a fire hazard.

How to install the hood in recirculation mode?

For the recirculation version, you must install an activated charcoal filter kit (sold separately). Follow the provided installation instructions. The exhaust duct must not be used; the air is expelled back into the room after filtration.

What periodic maintenance is recommended?

Regularly clean the inside and outside of the hood with a cloth moistened with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products. The grease filter is cleaned once a month, and the charcoal filter is replaced every 20 months.

Does the hood have a power plug?

If the hood is supplied with a plug, connect it to an accessible socket that complies with standards. Otherwise, a bipolar switch must be installed to ensure total disconnection. The connection must be carried out by a professional.

General safety information

- The distance between the cookware support surface on top of the cooking appliance and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least:

65 cm if the hood is installed over a gas cooktop
55 cm if the hood is installed over an electric cooktop.

If the installation instruction manual for the gas cooking appliance specifies a greater distance, this measurement should be taken into account.

- The cooker hood comes with anchor plugs which are suitable for use with most walls/ceilings.

However, you must contact a qualified technician to check the suitability of the materials in relation to the type of wall/ceiling, which must be strong enough to support the weight of the unit.

- Caution! Do not hook the unit up to its electrical power supply until the installation has been completed.

• Before cleaning or servicing the unit, disconnect it from the mains by pulling the power plug or disconnecting the main circuit breaker.
• Always wear work gloves when installing and servicing the unit.
• It is not intended for use by children or persons with sensory or mental disability and lack of experience or familiarity, except under the supervision or instruction of a person responsible for their safety.
• Make sure children do not play with the unit.
• Never operate the unit without its grease filter installed!
• NEVER use the hood as a support, unless expressly instructed to do so.
• The room must be adequately ventilated if the hood is used at the same time with other equipment burning gas or other fuels.
• Extracted air must not be conveyed into a duct used for exhausting combustion fumes from gas or other fuel-fired equipment.
• Observe all regulations in relation to air extraction.

• NEVER cook food with an open flame under the hood; open flames will damage the filters and may cause fires. Never do this.
  • Always supervise frying to make sure the heated oil does not catch fire.

IT

The installation procedure is illustrated in the first pages of this manual.

The installation must be done by a qualified technician.

Electrical hook up

The mains voltage must match that given on the ratings label inside the hood itself. If the hood has a power plug, connect the hood to an easily accessible regulatory power socket. If it does not (direct connection to the mains), or the socket is not easily accessible, install a two-pole regulatory switch to enable total disconnection from the mains in case of category III overvoltage, as required by the installation regulations.

Caution! Always check that the mains cable is hooked up properly and check that it operates correctly before reconnecting the hood to the mains.

Air exhaust (for ducted units)

Connect the hood to a duct and wall exhaust hole of a diameter equal to that of the air outlet flange. Using a smaller diameter tube and exhaust hole reduces the extraction capacity of the hood and also increases its running noise. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of doing so.

! Use the shortest duct required to achieve the purpose.
! Use a duct with as few bends as possible
! Avoid suddenly changing the diameter of the duct.
! The duct must have as smooth an inner surface as possible.
! The duct must be made of regulatory material.
! Do not connect the hood to flues carrying combustion fumes from other equipment (boilers, TBOXs, stoves, etc.).
! Observe the instructions of the competent authorities in relation to the air exhaust. The air being exhausted may not be exhausted into a wall cavity unless the cavity in question is specifically intended for this purpose.
! Equip the room with air intakes to prevent the hood creating suction pressure in the interior (this must not exceed 0.04 mbar).
! The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of failure to observe these instructions.

Filter or ducted?

! Your hood is supplied as a ducted unit.

If you wish to use it as a filter unit, you must install the proper ACCESSORY KIT.

Note: If supplied with the hood, the accessory active charcoal filter unit may already be installed.

Instructions for transforming the hood from the ducted to the filter version are given in this manual (see "Filter version").

Ducted version

GB

The hood purifies the air and expels it outdoors via an exhaust duct (dia. 150mm) connected to its outlet flange.

The diameter of the exhaust tube must be equal to that of the outlet flange.

Caution! The exhaust duct is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

When routed horizontally, the tube must be angled slightly upwards (around 10^ ) to enable the air to be conveyed outdoors more easily. If the hood is fitted with charcoal filters, they must first be removed.

Filter version

The hood purifies the air and returns it to the room. This version of the hood requires installation of an accessory active charcoal filter unit.

This version requires an air deflector, a reduction adapter and the charcoal filter/s. The top tube must have its air outlet slots uppermost.

First cleaning

• Remove the protective film
• Clean with a damp sponge and a little neutral soap
• Rinse off with a damp cloth
• Dry with a soft cloth; if the hood is stainless steel, dry along the metal's grain

Periodic cleaning

The hood must be cleaned frequently (at least as often as you service the grease filter), inside and out. Use a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent with lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive or corrosive products.

Warning: Failure to observe the hood cleaning and filter cleaning/replacement instructions can result in fires. Follow the instructions carefully. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to the motor or fires caused by incorrect care or failure to follow the above instructions.

Servicing the grease filter (A)

The grease filter retains the particles of grease produced during cooking; it must be cleaned at least once a month with a non-aggressive detergent, either by hand or with a low temperature, short dishwasher cycle.

To extract the grease filter, pull the spring loaded handle.

If washed in a dishwasher, the metal filter may change colour, but this does not affect its performance.

Servicing the charcoal filter (B)

The charcoal filter retains unpleasant cooking odours. The filter saturates after a variable time, depending on the type of cooking and how often the grease filter is cleaned. The cartridge must be replaced at least once every twenty months.

This filter can NOT be washed or regenerated
