How to install the COUNTRY LONDRA FCL 602 hood?

Follow the drilling and fixing instructions provided. Draw a vertical line at the center of the area, a horizontal line at least 650 mm above the cooking surface. Mark the drilling points according to the width of the hood (X mm). Drill, insert dowels and fix the brackets. Hang the hood body, then mount the chimney and fix it with the screws provided.

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

The minimum safety distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm.

How to clean the metallic grease filters?

The metallic grease filters are dishwasher safe. Remove them by pushing backward and pulling downward. Wash them approximately every 2 months without bending. Let them dry before reassembling, handle visible.

When and how to replace the activated carbon filter?

The activated carbon filter is not washable. It must be replaced at least every 4 months, or more often in case of intensive use. Remove the metallic filters, then the saturated carbon filters by unclipping (A). Mount the new ones (B) and reassemble the metallic filters.

How to replace a hood bulb?

Unplug the hood. Remove the metallic grease filters. Unscrew the 40 W incandescent bulbs and replace them with identical bulbs. Reassemble the filters.

The hood is noisy, what to do?

Check that the filters are clean and properly installed. Make sure the air outlet is not obstructed. If the noise persists, contact after-sales service.

Why is the hood not suctioning well?

Check that the grease filters are not clogged. Clean them or replace the carbon filters if necessary. Ensure that the distance to the cooking surface is correct and that the air outlet is not blocked.

How to install the hood in recirculation (filter) version?

For the filter version, drill a 125 mm hole in the shelf above the hood. Insert the reduction flange on the outlet, connect a 120 mm hose to the hole. Fix the oriented grid on the recirculated air outlet. Make sure the activated carbon filters are in place.

Can I use the hood with a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure the room has sufficient ventilation. Never leave intense open flames under the hood. Adjust the flames to avoid any lateral overflow.

• 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 .
• 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.

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.
• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use.

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.
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
