Frequently Asked Questions - DHE1146A DE DIETRICH

What is the minimum installation height?

The minimum height between the cooking surface and the hood must be at least 650 mm. Check the specific instructions for your model as some may be installed lower.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters should be washed every 2 months in the dishwasher or by hand. Remove them by pushing them backwards and pulling downwards. Allow them to dry before replacing, with the handle facing outward.

How often should the charcoal filters be replaced?

Activated carbon filters are neither washable nor regenerable. They must be replaced every 4 months, or more often with heavy use. First remove the grease filters, then the saturated charcoal filters, and install new ones.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check that there is no power outage and that a speed has been selected. If the hood stopped during operation, check that the main power disconnect has not tripped.

How to activate the intensive mode?

Press the B button (speed increase) for 3 seconds. The hood will run at maximum speed for 10 minutes, then automatically return to the previous speed. The display will show 'H' with the bottom dot flashing.

How to replace the lighting?

The hood uses a 20 W halogen lamp. To replace it, remove the two screws fixing the lighting support, extract the used lamp, insert a new identical lamp ensuring the plugs are properly in the socket, then reassemble the support.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can be installed in recirculation mode using activated carbon filters. Ensure these filters are present and in good condition. For connection, follow the instructions in the manual. In evacuation mode, remove the charcoal filters.

What is the safety distance from flames?

Never leave open flames under the hood. Always adjust flames so they do not exceed the bottom of the pans. Monitor frying as overheated oil can ignite. Do not prepare flambéed foods under the hood.

How to adjust the hood depth?

The depth can be adjusted between 275 and 360 mm. Loosen the screws of the metal spacer and move the hood to the desired depth. Use the provided drilling template for precise alignment with cabinets.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts such as grease filters, charcoal filters, and halogen lamps are available from De Dietrich consumer service at 0892 02 88 04 or on the website www.de-dietrich.com. Also check with your usual retailer.

Important:

Before installing and using your appliance, please read this Installation and Usage

Guide carefully, as it will allow you to quickly familiarise yourself with its operation.

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 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. 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.

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.
  Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• "CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances."

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 (Fire hazard).
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
