Frequently Asked Questions - HE428 WHIRLPOOL
How do I install the Whirlpool HE428 range hood?
Installation requires a secure wall mounting above your cooker. Ensure the height from the hob to the bottom of the hood is between 65 and 75 cm for electric hobs and 75-85 cm for gas. Use the template provided in the manual, fix the bracket, and hang the hood. Connect the ducting to a 150 mm pipe or install a charcoal filter for recirculation. Always turn off the power before installation. Seek professional help if unsure.
How often should I clean the grease filters?
The aluminium grease filters should be cleaned every two months or more frequently with heavy use. Remove them, wash by hand or in the dishwasher at a low temperature, and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. A clogged filter reduces efficiency and poses a fire hazard.
Can the range hood operate in recirculation mode?
Yes, if you cannot vent outside. Fit an active charcoal filter (available as an accessory) on each motor, then the air will be purified and recirculated into the kitchen. Remember to replace the charcoal filter regularly, usually every 3 to 6 months depending on usage.
How do I replace the light bulbs?
First switch off the hood and disconnect it from the mains. Gently pull the bulb holder or twist the halogen bulbs counter-clockwise to remove them. Use the same type and wattage (e.g. 20 W) and avoid touching the glass with bare hands, because oil reduces lamp life. Reassemble in reverse order.
What should I do if the motor does not start?
Check the power supply and mains fuse. Ensure the hood is plugged in and the socket is live. Inspect the wiring connections and the control buttons. If the thermal cut-out has tripped, wait for the motor to cool down. If it still fails, contact a qualified technician.
How to adjust the speed control?
The hood has three speed buttons: low, medium and high. Press the button to select the desired air extraction rate. Use the high speed for strong odours and steam, and low speed for quiet operation during normal cooking. A light switch is separate for the lamps.
How to clean the stainless steel surface?
Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the brushed metal finish. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents, as they damage the protective coating. Dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Is it safe to use the hood without a charcoal filter?
Yes, in ducted mode the charcoal filter is not necessary and could even reduce airflow. However, in recirculation mode you must install a charcoal filter; otherwise, odours and grease will simply blow back into the kitchen.
How do I know when the charcoal filter needs replacing?
Unlike grease filters, charcoal filters cannot be washed or reused. They need replacement when cooking odours become noticeable again, typically every 3 to 6 months with normal use. Some models have an electronic saturation reminder, the manual may indicate this.
Can I connect the hood to a common duct?
It is possible, but the ducting must be smooth and as short as possible to maximise extraction. Use rigid metal pipes rather than flexible ones. Avoid connecting to a flue or ventilation shaft used by other appliances, as this can cause back flow of fumes. Consult a professional if in doubt.
