Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the DHD120XE1 can be used in recirculation mode with an optional charcoal filter (sold separately). This filter needs to be replaced every 4-6 months depending on usage.

How do I replace the LED lights?

LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to replace them yourself as they require disassembly.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting properly?

Check if the grease filter is clean and the charcoal filter (if installed) is not saturated. Ensure the duct is not blocked and the motor is running at the correct speed. If problem persists, contact service.

What is the noise level of the hood?

The noise level ranges from 42 dB(A) at minimum speed to 65 dB(A) at maximum speed, ensuring quiet operation.

EN 1 / NOTICES TO THE USER

Attention Keep this u

Keep this user guide with your appliance. If the appliance is ever sold or transferred to another person, ensure that the new owner receives the user guide. Please become familiar with these recommendations before installing and using your oven. They were written for your safety and the safety of others.

• SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

—This oven was designed for use by private persons in their homes.

—This appliance is to be used by adults. Make sure that children do not touch it and that they do not treat it as a toy. Make sure that they do not touch the appliance's control panel.

—When you receive the appliance, unpack or have it unpacked immediately. Give it an overall general inspection. Make note of any concerns or reservations on the delivery slip and make sure to keep a copy of this form.

-Your appliance is intended for standard household use. Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for any other purpose than that for which it was designed.

—Do not modify or attempt to modify any of the characteristics of this appliance. This would be dangerous to your safety.

—Repairs must only be carried out by an approved specialist.

— Always unplug the hood before cleaning it or performing other maintenance acts.

- Provide adequate ventilation for the room in the case of simultaneous use of the hood and other appliances powered by an energy source other than electricity. This will prevent the hood from aspirating the combustion gases.

- You should never "flambé" dishes under the hood or operate gas rings under the hood without placing cookware on them (the flames sucked up into the hood can damage the appliance).

- When frying food under the appliance, you must carefully monitor the preparation at all times.

Oils and grease brought to very high temperatures can catch fire.

-Respect the recommended frequency of cleanings and filter replacements. The accumulation of grease deposits may cause a fire.

—The hood should never be used over a combustible fuel burning stove (wood, coal, etc.).

—Never use steam or high-pressure devices to clean your appliance (requirement imposed by electrical safety).

- With a view to constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to modify their technical, functional or aesthetic characteristics, making any changes to their features considered necessary or desirable in view of technical progress.

—In order to easily locate the reference information for your appliance, we recommend that you note these data on the "After-Sales Service Department and Customer Relations" page.

(This page also explains to you where to find this information on your appliance.)

Warning In the case

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

Suitable ventilation should be provided in the room when the hood is used at the same time as appliances operated by gas or another combustible fuel.

• ASSEMBLING THE HOOD

Warning The hood

The hood must be installed in compliance with all applicable regulations concerning the ventilation of premises. In France these regulations are described in DTU 61.1 from the CSTB. In particular, the evacuated air should never be conveyed to a duct used to evacuate smoke from appliances that use gas or other combustible fuels. Unused ducts may only be used after approval from a competent 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.

• Draw a horizontal line 70 cm minimum from the cook top (fig. 1).
  – Draw a vertical line (B/fig. 1) on the wall that is centred over the cook top and that extends from the horizontal line drawn in the previous step (A) to the ceiling.
• Cut the drilling template by following the dotted lines to obtain two parts, C1 and C2 (fig. 1).
• Place the C2 template (fig. 1) on the wall, superimposing the line that represents the hood's axis over vertical line B (fig. 1) drawn in a previous step.
• Place the C1 template (fig. 1) against the wall flush with the ceiling.
• Drill the six holes. Insert the 6 wall plugs.

For the DHD120XE model, follow the additional instructions (figure 2) on the following page.

- Screw in the top two screws for the hood (D/fig. 1), leaving 5mm sticking out from the wall.

Tip

Adjust the level of your hood before

fully tightening up the four D and E screws.

EN 2 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

For the DHD120XE model only:

• Draw a horizontal line (F/fig. 2) through the two previously drilled holes (G).
• Drill the two additional holes (H/fig. 2) located on the line (F) at a distance of 35~cm from the initial holes (G).
• Insert the two additional wall plugs.
• Screw in the top two screws for the hood (D/fig. 1), leaving 5mm sticking out from the wall.

- Hang the suction hood on the two screws (fig. 3).

- Remove the filter cartridges (J/fig. 4). - Screw in the two bottom screws (E/fig. 4).

For the DHD120XE model only:

• ASSEMBLING THE VENTILATION SHAFT

• Outdoor evacuation

• Using the two screws (fig. 1), attach the metal chimney bracket against the wall, flush with the ceiling for support.
• Mount the back-flow valve near the motor outlet (fig. 2). This back-flow valve makes it possible to block the entry of air from the outside.
• If a 125 mm flue is being installed, use the adapter provided (fig. 3).

If the diameter of your exterior flue is less than 125 mm, you must connect your hood in recycling mode.

- Slide the end of the flue over the motor outlet (fig. 4).

- Prepare your telescoping ventilation shaft, taking care not to block the vents (fig. 4).

Fit the ventilation shafts into one another as far as they will go.

• Attach the upper portion of the chimney (B/fig. 4 on the metal chimney bracket (A/fig. 4) using the two screws (G/fig. 4).
• Adjust the length of the telescoping chimney by bringing down the lower part and fitting it into the top of the hood.
