Frequently Asked Questions - Balzac Klarstein

What is the minimum distance between the range hood and the cooktop?

The hood should be installed at a distance of 65 to 75 cm above the cooking surface. This height ensures efficient extraction while complying with safety instructions.

How do I install the activated carbon filter?

To install the activated carbon filter, first remove the grease filter by pressing its catch. Then place the activated carbon filter over the fan and turn it clockwise. Repeat on the other side and make sure the filter is securely tightened. The suction power may decrease slightly.

How do I use Boost mode?

Press the + button to activate Boost mode. The buzzer sounds, the indicator lights up, and the display shows b. If no other speed is selected within 5 minutes, the hood automatically returns to high speed.

How do I set the automatic shut-off timer?

Hold down the + and - buttons simultaneously. The display blinks and a 5-minute countdown starts. After 5 minutes, the light and motor turn off automatically and a humming sound is heard.

How do I clean the grease filters?

First unplug the hood. Clean the grease filters monthly with water and a little dish soap, then let them air-dry. Regular cleaning prevents fire hazards and maintains suction efficiency.

How do I replace the LED bulbs?

Remove the grease filter, disconnect the lighting cables behind the filter, then take out the sockets using a screwdriver. Replace the bulb with an identical LED: 1.5 W, DC 12 V, Ø 68 mm. For any intervention, contact a professional if necessary.

What should I do if the motor does not start but the lighting works?

First check that the air vent is not blocked. If the problem persists, the capacitor or motor may be defective. Contact a professional to have the capacitor or motor replaced.

Why does the hood vibrate?

Vibrations can be caused by a damaged rotor blade, a poorly secured motor, or a loose housing. Inspect these parts and tighten the fasteners or replace the blade if necessary.

What is the maximum airflow and noise level of the hood?

The maximum airflow in Boost mode is 604.6 m³/h. In normal operation, it ranges from 284.6 to 484.1 m³/h. The noise level is between 47 and 60 dB(A) depending on the selected speed.

What safety precautions should be taken for extraction when a fireplace or boiler is present?

Never use the hood simultaneously with a room air-dependent fireplace without sufficient fresh air supply. The room depressurization must not exceed 4 Pa. Have the installation checked by a chimney sweep or specialist.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Thank you for purchasing this cooker hood. Please read the instruction manual carefully before you use the cooker hood, and keep it in a safe place.
• The installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Before you use the cooker hood, make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the cooker hood are exactly the same as the voltage and the frequency in your home.
• The manufacturer and the agent will not bear any responsibility for the damage caused by inappropriate installation and usage.
  • Children under the age of 8 must not use the cooker hood.
• The appliance is not intended for commercial use, but only for household and similar environments.
• The cooker hood and its filter mesh should be cleaned regularly in order to keep it in good working order.
  • Before cleaning, switch the power off at the main supply.
• Clean the cooker hood according to the instruction manual and keep the cooker hood from the danger of burning.
  • Prohibit putting the cooker hood by fire.
• If the appliance does not function normally, contact the manufacturer or a specialist company.
• This device may be only used by children 8 years old or older and persons with limited physical, sensory and mental capabilities and / or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they have been instructed in use of the device by a responsible person who understands the associated risks.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels, the room must be adequately ventilated.
• Do not flambé under the range hood. Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

Important hints on installation

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
  • Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

WARNING

Risk of poisoning from exhaust gases sucked back. Never operate the device in extraction mode simultaneously with an open flue appliance when there is not adequate airflow guaranteed.

Open flue combustion equipment (for example, gas, oil, wood or coal-fired heaters, tankless water heaters, water heaters) pulls combustion air from the room and runs it through an exhaust pipe or chimney to the outside. In the extraction mode, indoor air is removed from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms - without sufficient air intake this creates a vacuum. Toxic gases from the chimney or extraction flue can thereby be sucked back into the living spaces.

• Always ensure that a sufficient supply of fresh air is guaranteed and that the air can circulate.
• An air supply / extractor box alone does not ensure compliance with the limit value.

Safe operation is only possible when the negative pressure in the room where the appliance is located does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air required for combustion can flow through openings that are not closable, for example in doors, windows, in conjunction with an air supply / extractor box or through other technical measures. In any case, consult a qualified chimney sweep who can assess the entire ventilation of your house and propose appropriate measures for adequate ventilation.

If the hood is used exclusively in the recirculation mode, unrestricted operation is possible.

Important note on disassembly of the device

• Disassembly is similar to installation/assembly in reverse order.
  • Take a second person to help you during disassembly to avoid injuries.

INSTALLATION

Assembly of the V-flap

If the cooker hood does not have a pre-assembled V-flap, install the parts as follows:

1 Install the first half (2) in the housing (6).
2 The pin (3) should be facing upwards.
3 Insert the axle (4) into the holes (5) on the housing.
4 Repeat all steps for the second half of the flap.

Preparation

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as below picture by means of an extraction duct (enamel, aluminium, flexible pipe or inflammable material with an interior diameter of 150 mm).

• Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
• The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65\~75 cm above the cooking plane for best effect.

Installation (Vent inside)

If you do not have an outlet to the outside, exhaust pipe is not required and the installation is similar to the one show in section "Installation (Vent outside)".

Important Information for the Installation of Exhaust Air Ducts

The following rules must be strictly observed to ensure optimum air extraction. Failure to follow these instructions will reduce performance and increase the noise level of the cooker hood.

• Lay the exhaust pipe as short and straight as possible.
• Do not use a smaller exhaust duct and do not confine it.
• If flexible ducts are used, the duct must always be mounted tightly in order to minimise pressure loss.
• All installation work may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or a qualified person.
• Do not connect the exhaust duct of the cooker hood to an existing ventilation system used for another appliance, such as a chimney.
• The angle of the exhaust pipe bend should not be less than 120° . Align the pipe horizontally. Alternatively, the duct should go up from the starting point and be led to an outer wall.
• After installation, make sure that the cooker hood is level to prevent grease from accumulating on one side.
• Make sure that the exhaust duct selected for the installation complies with the relevant standards and is fire-resistant.

Installation (Vent outside)

Note: When the range hood and appliance supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must be not exceed 4 Pa ( 4 × 10^-5 Bar).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Turn off the cooker hood before cleaning and maintenance and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. The exterior surfaces are susceptible to scratches and stains. Therefore, do not use abrasive cleaners and wipe away any alkaline or acidic residue (lemon juice, vinegar) immediately after cleaning.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to ensure a long service life. Use stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe along the grain of the stainless steel to prevent scratching.

Control Panel

The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild dishwashing detergent. Before cleaning, make sure the cloth is clean and well wrung. Use a dry, soft cloth to remove excess moisture after cleaning.

Monthly Cleaning for Grease Filter

Clean the filter every month can prevent any risk of fire. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, so the filter is directly affecting the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue (potential flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it with household cleaning detergent.

NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• During cooking, make sure that there is sufficient air supply so that the cooker hood can operate efficiently and with low operating noise.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. Use the intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• If large amounts of steam are produced during cooking, select a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already dispersed in the kitchen, the cooker hood must be operated longer.
• Switch off the cooker hood when you no longer need it.
• Switch off the lighting when you no longer need it.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals and replace it if necessary to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
  • Always put the lid on when cooking to reduce cooking steam and condensation.
