Frequently Asked Questions - 3CFT-MINI TILE FAGOR

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

The minimum distance is 40 cm for an electric hob and 65 cm for a gas or mixed hob. If the cooking appliance instructions specify a greater distance, that takes precedence.

How to clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month with a non-aggressive detergent, by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature and quick cycle. Dishwashing may discolor the filter without affecting its performance.

How to maintain the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter can be cleaned every two months with hot water and a suitable detergent or in a dishwasher at 65°C. After washing, remove excess water and dry the pad in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. Replace the pad every 3 years or if damaged.

How to replace the hood bulb?

First unplug the appliance. Make sure the bulb is cool. Remove the protective cover with a small flat-head screwdriver. Replace the bulb with a halogen G4 12V 20W max without touching the bulb with your hands. Close the cover by snapping it back on.

Can I use the hood in suction version with external extraction?

Yes, if you have an exhaust duct. You then need to install a connection ring on the upper outlet B and remove the charcoal filter. The hood is delivered ready for the filtering version, but can be converted.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

First check that the plug is connected and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the light doesn't work, check that the bulb is correctly inserted. For persistent problems, contact customer service.

How often should I clean the hood?

Clean the exterior and interior of the hood at least once a month, at the same time as the grease filter. Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Never use alcohol or abrasive products.

Can children use the hood?

No, the appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced capabilities without supervision. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

How to install the hood correctly?

Before installation, check the dimensions and sturdiness of the wall. Use the provided drilling template to drill 3 holes of ∅8 mm, fix the support bracket with dowels, then hang the hood. Make the electrical connection and ensure the filters are in place.

What to do in case of non-compliance with safety instructions?

Failure to follow cleaning and maintenance instructions may result in a fire risk. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damages caused by improper use.

Use

The hood has been made for use in the internal recirculating filtering version.

Cooking fumes and steam are aspirated inside the hood, filtered and cleaned, passing through the fat filter/s and the carbon filter/s that MUST be supplied with the hood.

The hood is supplied in the FILTERING version and is used without an extracted fumes discharger conduit.

Fumes and steam are recycled through the F deflector.

If you intend using the product in the SUCTION version, it is necessary to have an evacuation conduit going from the upper B exit to the extraction hole towards the exterior.

In this case a connection ring has to be installed on the B extraction hole and the carbon filter removed.

A telescopic flue is available (as an accessory).

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels 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. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar 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 lo 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.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off.
• 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.
