Frequently Asked Questions - WAH 65 LM X WHIRLPOOL

How to install the Whirlpool WAH 65 LM X hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Keep a minimum distance of 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm for a gas hob. Use the provided wall plugs and fix securely to the wall. Ensure the exhaust duct is properly connected.

How to clean the grease filters?

The aluminum grease filters can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent. Let them dry completely before reinstalling. Clean them at least once a month.

Is a charcoal filter needed for recirculation?

Yes, if you use the hood in recirculation mode (without external exhaust), you must install an activated charcoal filter. This filter neutralizes odors and should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on use.

How to set the automatic shut-off timer?

Press the timer button (clock) to activate the delayed shut-off. The hood stops after 15 minutes by default. You can extend in increments of 15 minutes up to 60 minutes.

Why is the hood making noise?

Noise can come from unstable installation, clogged filters, or the motor. Check that the hood is securely fixed and filters are clean. If noise persists, contact after-sales service.

How to replace the LED bulb?

Disconnect the hood. Remove the lighting cover by pressing the clips. Replace the LED bulb (type G4, 1.5 W max). Replace the cover and reconnect. If the LED is integrated, contact a professional.

What to do if the touch buttons do not respond?

Make sure your hands are clean and dry. Clean the touch surface with a soft cloth. If the problem persists, restart the hood by turning off the power for 10 seconds. Contact customer service if necessary.

How to use the intensive mode?

The intensive (boost) mode increases the suction power to maximum for 5 minutes. Press the 'Boost' button (often represented by a star). It automatically deactivates after 5 minutes.

What is the ideal installation height?

For an electric hob, install the hood at 65 cm above the cooktop. For gas, allow 75 cm. These distances ensure optimal suction and avoid overheating risks.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts (filters, bulbs, motor) are available at authorized Whirlpool retailers or on the brand's official website. Use the model reference WAH 65 LM X to order.

- Do not make electrical or mechanical changes on the product or on the exhaust pipes. • Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the product from the mains power supply by removing the plug or turning off the mains switch. • For all installation and maintenance operations, always wear work gloves. • The product can be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience or the necessary knowledge, as long as they are properly supervised or have been instructed on how to safely use the device and understand the inherent dangers. • Children must be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the product. • Cleaning and maintenance must never be performed by children unless they are properly supervised. • The room must have sufficient ventilation when the product is used at the same time as other appliances burning gas or other fuels. • The product must be cleaned frequently both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH); always follow the instructions given in the maintenance manual. • Failure to comply with the rules indicated for cleaning the product and replacing/cleaning the filters may result in the risk of fire. • It is strictly forbidden to cook food on the flame under the product. • WARNING: • When the hob is on, the accessible parts of the product may become hot. • Do not connect the product to the electrical power supply until the installation is complete. • The regulations laid down by local authorities must be strictly followed with regard to the technical and safety measures to adopt for fume extraction. • The extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion products. • Do not use or leave the product without appropriately installed lamps, as this may result in the risk of electric shock. • The product must NEVER be used without the grille correctly fitted. • The product must NEVER be used as a support surface unless expressly indicated.

• Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
• Use only the fastening screws supplied with the product for its installation, or if not supplied, purchase the correct type of screws. Use screws of the right length, as indicated in the installation guide.
• Please note! Failure to install screws and fasteners in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
• To replace the lamp, only use the lamp indicated in the maintenance/lighting system section of this manual. Using a naked flame may damage the filters and cause a fire hazard, and must therefore be avoided under all circumstances.

Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire. In case of doubt, contact the authorised service centre or similar qualified personnel.

Please note! Do not use with a programmer, timer, separate remote control or any other device that activates automatically.

The minimum distance between the container support surface on the cooker and the lower part of the hood must be at least equal to 50 cm (not less than 65 cm only for Australia and New Zealand) in case of electric cookers and to 65 cm in case of gas or mixed cookers.

If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, take it into account.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage indicated on the rating plate located inside the hood. If equipped with a plug, connect the hood to a wall socket that complies with current standards located in an area that can be accessed even after installation. If it does not feature a plug (direct connection to the mains) or the plug is not located in an accessible area, even after installation, apply a standard double pole switch that ensures complete disconnection from the mains in category III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with the installation rules.

- Please note! Before reconnecting the circuit to the mains power supply and making sure that it is working correctly, always check that the power cable is correctly installed.

Do not use extension cords, power strips or adapters.

Replacing the power cable

The hood features a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, contact the Service Centre for a replacement.

AIR OUTLET

(for suction versions)

Connect the hood to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange).

The use of pipes and outlet holes in the wall with a smaller diameter will reduce the extraction performance and drastically increase the noise level.

All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.

! Use a ducting pipe with the shortest length necessary.

! Use a ducting pipe with the least number of bends possible (maximum bend angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the ducting pipe diameter.

! The company shall not be held responsible if these regulations are not complied with.

FILTRATION OR SUCTION?

! Your hood is ready to be used in the suction version.

To use the hood in the filtration version, the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.

Check, on the first pages of this manual, whether the ACCESSORY KIT is already supplied or needs to be purchased separately.

Note: If supplied, in some cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may already be installed on the hood.

Information on how to convert the hood from the suction version to the filtration version is already contained in this manual.

Extraction version

Vapours are evacuated outside through an exhaust pipe attached to the connecting flange.

ATTENTION

The evacuation pipe is not supplied and must be purchased.

The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the diameter of the connecting ring.

If the hood features one or more carbon filters, they must be removed.

Filtration version

The suctioned air will be degreased and deodorised before it is sent back into the room. To use the hood in this version, it is necessary to install an additional activated carbon filter system.

CONTROLS

The hood is equipped with a control panel with a suction speed control and a light control to light up the hob.

a. ON/OFF light switch b. Speed 1/OFF switch c. 2-speed selection d. 3-speed selection

MAINTENANCE

- Cleaning: For cleaning, simply use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents. Do not use cleaning tools or instruments.

• Anti-Grease Filter: It must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system - if any - indicates the need for it), with non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in a dishwasher at a low temperature and on a short cycle.

When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.

- The Anti-Grease Filter traps the grease particles produced during cooking. When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.

Carbon filter (for filter version only): The cartridge must be replaced at least every four months. It CANNOT be washed or regenerated. As indicated in the drawings section: remove the anti-grease filters, apply a carbon filter on each side and attach it to the product. Put the anti-grease filters back in place.

Illumination

• The lighting system is based on LED technology. LEDs provide optimal illumination, last up to 10 times longer than conventional lamps and save 90% of electricity.
• Lamp Replacement: Disconnect the product from the electrical power supply. Please note! Before touching the lamps, make sure they have cooled. For the type of lamp to use, see the indications in the drawings section.
