Frequently Asked Questions - SOHV1920B SCHOLTES

How to clean the grease filters of the Scholtes SOHV1920B hood?

The grease filters should be cleaned when the display shows "C" or at least once a month. Use a brush, hot water, and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. They can also be washed in the dishwasher, placed vertically or loosely. After cleaning, reset the display by holding down the timer button for at least 3 seconds (hood off).

How to replace the charcoal filter of the Scholtes SOHV1920B hood?

The charcoal filter retains odors and should be replaced approximately every 120 hours of use. Depending on the model (AF 100 or AF 500), place the filter in its housing and turn it clockwise (AF 100) or press the tab and pull forward (AF 500) until it locks. Order filters from your dealer or authorized technical service.

How to replace the LED lamps of the Scholtes SOHV1920B hood?

First disconnect the power supply. Remove the aluminum filter. Remove the defective bulb by pushing it with your hand. Separate the adhesive tape around the lamps and the plate from the body. Replace with an LED lamp of the same rated power (see label). Remove the protective film from the new lamp before sticking it in place. Caution: lamps may be hot after use.

What is the minimum safety distance between the hood and the cooking surface?

The minimum distance is 65 cm above an electric cooking surface and 70 cm above a gas or fuel cooking surface. If the instructions of the cooking surface indicate a greater distance, that must be observed.

How to use the remote control of the Scholtes SOHV1920B hood?

The remote control is supplied as an optional accessory. It has buttons: on/off, speed increase and decrease, and lighting. Make sure the remote control is paired (no special procedure described, usually it works directly). The remote control allows you to control basic functions remotely.

What to do if the hood does not work at all?

Check that the hood is properly plugged in and that the plug is correctly inserted in the socket. Check the appliance circuit breaker and the main circuit breaker in your home. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a professional.

Why is my hood noisy or has poor performance?

Check the diameter of the extraction duct (minimum 120 mm). Make sure the metal filters are clean and the charcoal filters are recent (if in recirculation mode). Insufficient kitchen ventilation may also reduce performance. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to activate the decorative LEDs on the chimney?

The decorative LEDs on the chimney are activated by pressing and holding (more than 3 seconds) the lighting button on the control panel. A short press controls the main lighting.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without an external outlet?

Yes. In recirculation mode, fumes pass through active charcoal filters, then the purified air is returned to the kitchen via the outlet grilles. Make sure the grilles are clear. Charcoal filters are necessary in this mode and must be installed.

What to do if an error code is displayed?

If the display shows "C", it means the grease filters need to be cleaned. Clean them and reset the display by holding down the timer button for at least 3 seconds (hood off). No other error code is mentioned in the manual.

By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.
   Refer to the rating plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.
