Frequently Asked Questions - DAK6036CN ELECTROLUX

How to install the Electrolux DAK6036CN hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. The hood is fixed to the wall using the supplied dowels. Ensure a minimum distance of 65 cm between the hood and an electric hob, or 75 cm for a gas hob. Make sure the evacuation complies with local standards.

How to clean the grease filter of the hood?

The metal grease filter is washable. Remove it and wash it in the dishwasher at 65°C or by hand with hot water and detergent. Put it back once dry. It is recommended to clean it every 2 months.

Is a charcoal filter needed for recirculation?

Yes, if the hood is used in recirculation mode, an activated charcoal filter is necessary to absorb odors. This filter is not included and must be purchased separately. It should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on use.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

Check that the hood is plugged in and the fuse is not blown. Make sure the filters are properly engaged because the safety cuts off the power if the grease filter is not in place. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to set the delayed shut-off timer?

Press the Timer button (clock symbol) to activate automatic shut-off after 5 minutes. You can extend by pressing again. The hood will turn off automatically after the set time.

What is the lighting power of the LEDs?

The hood is equipped with 2 LEDs of 3 W each, providing efficient and economical lighting. They are not user-replaceable; call a technician in case of failure.

The hood is noisy, is this normal?

A noise level up to 65 dB(A) at maximum speed is normal. If the noise is excessive, check that the filters are properly in place and that nothing is blocking the duct. A whistling sound may indicate a poorly fixed duct.

How to switch between extraction and recirculation mode?

In extraction mode, the evacuation duct must be connected to the outside. In recirculation mode, you need to install a charcoal filter and block the air outlet. The selector is physical; consult the manual for the exact position.

Where to find spare parts for the hood?

Spare parts (motor, bulbs, filters, controls) are available from Electrolux customer service or authorized dealers. Use the model number DAK6036CN to order.

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the Reset button (often the speed button for 5 seconds) until the indicator turns off. Consult the manual for the exact model.
