Frequently Asked Questions - AHWE87BK AIRLUX

What is the minimum distance between the hob and the hood?

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm. However, check the instructions for your gas hob, as they may specify a greater distance.

How to install the hood in extraction mode?

Use a rigid or flexible tube of 150 mm or 120 mm. For 120 mm, insert the reduction flange on the nozzle with flap. Fix the tube with suitable clamps. Remove the activated carbon filters if present.

How to install the hood in recirculation mode?

Mount the connector extensions on the connector, place it in the support bracket and fix it. Connect the connector to the hood outlet with a 150 mm tube. Ensure the activated carbon filters are present.

What is the cleaning frequency of the grease filters?

Wash the self-supporting metal filters in the dishwasher approximately every 2 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Allow them to dry before reassembling.

How to replace the activated carbon filter?

First remove the grease filters. Unclip the used activated carbon filter and replace it with a new one. It is neither washable nor reusable and must be changed every 4 months.

Do the accessible parts of the hood become hot?

Yes, caution: accessible parts may become very hot when used with cooking appliances. Supervise children and do not touch during or after use.

Can I use the hood with a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure sufficient room ventilation. The maximum depression must not exceed 0.04 mbar. Never allow open flames to escape around the sides of pans.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Have the cord replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service agent to avoid any hazard.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. Always disconnect the hood before cleaning.

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 120mm . 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 flambe 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.
