Frequently Asked Questions - AKR 757 IX WHIRLPOOL

How to install the AKR 757 IX hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Respect minimum distances: 65 cm above an electric hob, 75 cm for a gas hob. Securely fix the wall bracket, connect the duct (if extraction mode) and plug in the power.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent. Let them dry completely before replacing them. Cleaning every 2 months is recommended.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter should be replaced every 4 to 6 months depending on usage. It is not washable. Use only original Whirlpool filters to guarantee performance.

The hood is making noise, what should I do?

Check that the hood is securely fixed to the wall and that no object obstructs the air inlet or outlet. Clean the filters as dirt build-up can increase noise. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to activate the delayed shut-off function?

Press the delayed shut-off button (clock) after selecting a speed. The hood will continue to run for 10 minutes and then turn off automatically. This function helps remove residual odors.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, you need to install an activated charcoal filter (sold separately) and an air deflector. Follow the instructions in the manual to set up recirculation mode. In this mode, the air is filtered and then returned to the room.

How to replace the LED bulb?

Unplug the hood. Remove the lighting cover (clip or screw). Disconnect the connector of the defective bulb and connect the new LED bulb (Whirlpool reference). Replace the cover and plug back in.

The remote control is not working, what should I do?

Check the batteries in the remote control. Replace them if necessary. Point the remote at the receiver on the hood. Make sure no obstacles are blocking the signal. If the problem persists, reset the appliance.

What is the warranty for the AKR 757 IX hood?

The hood comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase. Keep the receipt. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage due to improper installation or inappropriate use.

- Do not pull the power supply cable in order to unplug the appliance.

- The electrical components must no longer be accessible to the user after installation.

- Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not operate it when barefoot.

- This appliance may be used by children older than 8 years of age and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or with inadequate experience and knowledge only if they are supervised or if they have been taught how to use the appliance in conditions of safety and if they are aware of the dangers involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are supervised by adults.

- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically indicated in the manual. Defective parts must be replaced using genuine parts. All other maintenance services must be carried out by a specialized technician.

- Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

- When drilling through a wall or the ceiling, pay attention not to damage electric connections and/or pipes.

- The ventilation ducts must always discharge to the outside.

- Exhaust air must not be vented through a flue used for removal of fumes produced by appliances burning gas or other fuels, but must have a separate outlet. All national regulations governing extraction of fumes must be observed.

- If the hood is used together with other appliances operating on gas or other fuels, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar). For this reason, make sure the room is adequately ventilated.

- The Manufacturer declines any liability for improper use or incorrect setting of the controls.

- Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to correct functioning and good performance of the appliance. Frequently clean all encrustations from dirty surfaces to prevent the accumulation of grease. Regularly clean or replace the filters.

• the protection requirements of Directive "EMC" 2004/108/EC.
  Electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed if it is correctly connected to an approved earthing system.

Energy saving tips

• Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished.
• Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapour and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations.
• Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency.
• Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency.
• Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

INSTALLATION

After unpacking the appliance, check for any transport damage. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. To prevent any damage, only remove the appliance from its polystyrene foam packaging at the time of installation.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

WARNING:

this is a heavy product; the hood should only be lifted and installed by two or more people.

The minimum distance between the support of the cooking pans on top of the cooker and the bottom of the hood must not be less than 50 cm for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Before installation also check the minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker.

If the installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between cooker and hood, this distance must be observed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Make sure the power voltage specified on the appliance rating plate is the same as the mains voltage.

This information may be found on the inside of the hood, under the grease filter.

Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F 3 x 0,75 mm ² ) must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.

If the hood is fitted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place after installation. If no plug is fitted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the socket is not located in an accessible place, install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable complete isolation from the mains in case of category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with installation rules.
