Frequently Asked Questions - DGHVP 63 LT K PRIVILEG

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the aluminum grease filters and wash them with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling. For best performance, clean every 2-3 months.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

If used in recirculation mode, replace the charcoal filter every 3-6 months depending on usage. The filter is not washable and must be replaced.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 700 m³/h, which is suitable for medium-sized kitchens.

Can I install the hood myself?

Installation requires drilling into a wall and electrical connection. If you are not experienced, we recommend a professional installer. Always follow the safety instructions in the manual.

How do I switch the hood to recirculation mode?

To use recirculation mode, you need to install a charcoal filter (sold separately). The air is then filtered and returned into the room instead of being vented outside.

What is the noise level of this hood?

The noise level ranges from about 50 dB(A) at low speed to 65 dB(A) at maximum speed.

How do I change the LED lights?

LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician if they fail. Do not attempt to replace them yourself.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is available for free download in PDF format on the website notice-facile.com. You can also find it by searching for your model number.

What is the duct diameter required for venting outside?

The duct diameter should be 120 mm. Use rigid or flexible ducting with the same diameter to ensure optimal airflow.

Does the hood come with a warranty?

Yes, the Privileg DGHVP 63 LT K hood comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

• 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.

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 55 cm for electric cookers and 70 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.

If the cable is not fitted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:

Mains voltage and frequency	Wire connection
220-240 V50-60 Hz	1/= : yellow/greenN : blueL : brown

GREASE FILTERS

The metal grease filter has an unlimited life and should be cleaned once a month by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature and with a short cycle. Cleaning in a dishwasher may cause discoloring of the grease filter, but its filtering efficiency is unaffected.

Open the extraction panel (twist upwards).

Note: the panel does not need to be removed.

Pull out the handle to remove the filter.

Wash the filter and leave it to dry, proceeding in reverse order to refit.

CARBON FILTER (filter hoods only)

It retains the unpleasant odors produced during cooking.

Change the carbon filter every 4 months

Fitting or changing the carbon filter

1. Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
2. Open the extraction panel and remove it.
3. Remove the grease filters.
4. Fit one carbon filter each side, covering both protection grilles of the motor impeller. Turn the filters clockwise to secure them to the middle pins.

Proceed in reverse order to remove.

Re-fit the grease filters and extraction panel.

REPLACING LAMPS

The hood lighting system is based on LED technology.

The LEDs provide optimal illumination, with a lifetime up to ten times longer than traditional lamps but with 90% less energy consumption.

For replacement, contact the technical service.
