Frequently Asked Questions - PHVP 8.7F LT K HOTPOINT

How do I install the Hotpoint PHVP 8.7F LT K hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above gas hobs or 50 cm above electric hobs. Use the provided template for drilling and secure the hood with screws. Connect the exhaust duct to an external outlet or use recirculation mode with a carbon filter.

How do I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Clean it monthly for optimal performance.

When should I replace the carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter every 3 to 6 months, or when you notice reduced odor absorption. The filter is not washable.

How do I change the LED lamp?

Switch off the power. Remove the lamp cover by gently prying it off. Pull out the old LED module and insert the new one (same type: 3W, 220-240V). Reattach the cover. If unsure, contact a technician.

Why is my hood making noise?

Normal operating noise is up to 65 dB. If it's louder, check for loose parts, blocked ducts, or a dirty filter. Ensure the installation is secure. If persistent, contact service.

What do the speed settings mean?

The hood has 3 speed levels plus an intensive boost. Use low speed for simmering, medium for normal cooking, high for heavy fumes, and boost for maximum extraction during frying or grilling. The boost mode runs for 10 minutes then returns to setting 3.

Can I use the hood without a duct?

Yes, if you install a carbon filter set (sold separately) to recirculate the air back into the kitchen. The hood must be set to recirculation mode by following the manual instructions.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

The hood signals when filters need cleaning/replacing. After servicing, press and hold the speed + button for 3 seconds until the alarm LED turns off. Refer to manual for exact procedure.

What dimensions are needed for a cutout?

For built-in installation, the cutout width is typically 87 cm and depth 28 cm. However, always refer to the installation template provided with the product for exact measurements.

Where can I find spare parts for my hood?

Spare parts such as grease filters, carbon filters, LED lamps, and motors are available from Hotpoint authorized dealers or online. Use the model number PHVP 8.7F LT K to order the correct parts.
