Frequently Asked Questions - Diva BL/F/55 Turbo air

What minimum distance should I keep between the hood and my hob?

For an electric hob, the minimum distance is 40 cm. For a gas or mixed hob, it is 65 cm. Always check the instructions of your cooking appliance.

How to install the hood in external evacuation version?

Connect an exhaust duct (not supplied) to the flange located above the hood. The diameter of the duct must match that of the flange. Remove the carbon filter if present. The duct should be as short and smooth as possible, with a minimum number of bends.

How to use the hood in recirculation version?

Install an activated carbon filter (purchased separately) behind the grease filter. The extracted air will be degreased and deodorized before being returned to the room through the top grille.

How to clean the metal grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month. You can wash it by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. Note: washing in the dishwasher may discolor the filter without affecting its performance.

How to maintain the activated carbon filter?

Every two months, clean the filter with hot water and a suitable detergent or in the dishwasher at 65°C. Remove excess water, then dry the pad in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. Replace the pad every 3 years.

How to replace the halogen lamps?

Unplug the hood and ensure the lamps are cool. Remove the protective cover with a small screwdriver. Replace the lamp with a halogen lamp 12 V - 20 W max (G4) without touching it with your hands. Replace the cover.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

First check that the lamps are correctly inserted in their housing. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, never use the hood without the grease filter (and the grille) properly mounted. This presents a fire risk and damages the motor.

How to clean the hood panel?

The panel should be cleaned at the same frequency as the grease filter. Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or abrasive products. To remove the panel, pull downwards and pivot upwards.

Does the hood make noise?

The noise level depends on the selected suction power. To reduce noise, use the minimum speed under normal conditions. A poorly installed exhaust duct or excessive bends can increase noise.

The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited.

The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all circumstances.

Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil does not overheat and ignite.

Accessible parts of the hood may become hot when used with cooking appliance.

With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow

the regulations provided by the local authorities.

The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH).

This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance instructions provided in this manual). Failure to follow the instructions provided in this user guide regarding the cleaning of the hood and filters will lead to the risk of fires.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 40cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with

standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and mount it.

To remove see also the relative paragraphs.

- Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the filtering version.

- Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

- If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.

- In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).

- Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls and/or lateral wall units check that there is sufficient space to install the hood and that access to the command panel is easy.

Operation

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

Maintenance

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
