Frequently Asked Questions - KC90AX SMEG

How do I install the Smeg KC90AX range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above an electric hob and 75 cm above a gas hob. Follow the included manual for ducting or recirculation setup.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every 2 months or more frequently if used heavily. It can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Dry before reinstalling.

How do I replace the activated carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, replace the activated carbon filter every 6-12 months. It is located behind the grease filter. Simply remove the old one and insert a new one.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can be due to incorrect installation, loose parts, or a dirty filter. Check that the hood is securely mounted and filters are clean. Normal max noise level is 67 dB.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode with an activated carbon filter. This is ideal if external ducting is not possible.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
- Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
- Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
- Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
- Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
- Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- “CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.”

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard).
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

Wall drilling and bracket fixing

Wall marking:

• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob for installation without the back panel, or at height H (H = height of the visible part of the panel) for installation with the back panel.
• Mark a point (1) on the horizontal line, 100 mm to the right of the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the two marks are levelled.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2 mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
  • Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.

Mounting the hood body

• Adjust the two screws Vr, on brackets 11a, to a minimum.
• Hook the hood canopy onto the two brackets 11a.
• Remove the metal grease filters by turning the handles provided.
