Frequently Asked Questions - HNC 9.8 ABI XHA HOTPOINT-ARISTON

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

The minimum distance is 65 cm for a gas cooktop and 55 cm for an electric cooktop. Also follow the recommendations in the cooktop manual.

How to clean the grease filter?

The metallic grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a non-aggressive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature (short cycle). Pull the spring handle to remove it.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter should be replaced approximately every 20 months, or sooner if odors persist. It cannot be washed or regenerated. To remove it, press the two front levers.

How to change the halogen bulbs?

Disconnect the hood from the power supply. Remove the grease filters, then pry with a small flathead screwdriver to remove the protector. Replace the used bulb with an identical bulb (halogen 40 W, socket G9). Close the protector until it clicks.

What to do if the filter indicator lights flash?

This indicates filter saturation. Clean or replace the concerned filters. To reset the counter, press the Booster (T5) button for 3 seconds (hood on). The lights flash 3 times then turn off.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, you need to install the active charcoal filter kit (sold separately). Consult the manual to configure the hood in recirculation mode: press T5 for 6 seconds (hood off), select recirculation mode (T3 icon lit), then confirm with T1.

The hood no longer works, what to check?

First check the power supply (outlet, circuit breaker). Ensure a speed is selected. If the hood turned off during use, unplug it for 5 seconds then plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

How to set the automatic shut-off timer?

On models with display, press the Timer (T5) button to add 5 minutes of operation. The countdown is displayed on the screen. The timer works only in manual speed (not in Boost mode).

What does the flashing of the T2 or T3 icon mean?

Flashing of T2 indicates saturation of the grease filter. Flashing of T3 indicates saturation of the odor filter (charcoal). If both are flashing, both filters are saturated. Clean or replace the corresponding elements.

What type of LED bulb should be used to replace the lighting?

The hood is equipped with standard halogen lamps. To replace with LEDs, contact technical support as modifications may be required. Use only bulbs of the same power and socket (G9).

Avvertenze

! Keep this manual for reference. If you sell, transfer or move the unit to another location, make sure to keep the manual with the product.
! Read the instructions carefully - they contain important installation, user and safety information.
! Do not tamper with the electrical or mechanical equipment of the product or its exhaust ducts.

General safety information

- The distance between the cookware support surface on top of the cooking appliance and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least:

65 cm if the hood is installed over a gas cooktop
55 cm if the hood is installed over an electric cooktop.

If the installation instruction manual for the gas cooking appliance specifies a greater distance, this measurement should be taken into account.

- The cooker hood comes with anchor plugs which are suitable for use with most walls/ceilings.

However, you must contact a qualified technician to check the suitability of the materials in relation to the type of wall/ceiling, which must be strong enough to support the weight of the unit.

- Caution! Do not hook the unit up to its electrical power supply until the installation has been completed.

• Before cleaning or servicing the unit, disconnect it from the mains by pulling the power plug or disconnecting the main circuit breaker.
  • Always wear work gloves when installing and servicing the unit.
• It is not intended for use by children or persons with sensory or mental disability and lack of experience or familiarity, except under the supervision or instruction of a person responsible for their safety.
• Make sure children do not play with the unit.
• Never operate the unit without its grease filter installed!
• NEVER use the hood as a support, unless expressly instructed to do so.
• The room must be adequately ventilated if the hood is used at the same time with other equipment burning gas or other fuels.
• Extracted air must not be conveyed into a duct used for exhausting combustion fumes from gas or other fuel-fired equipment.
• Observe all regulations in relation to air extraction.

• NEVER cook food with an open flame under the hood; open flames will damage the filters and may cause fires. Never do this.
  • Always supervise frying to make sure the heated oil does not catch fire.

• Strictly observe all local regulations in relation to the technical and safety measures to be employed in fumes extraction.

• Clean the product frequently, inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, and in observance of the maintenance instruction given in this manual).
• Failure to observe the hood cleaning and fi Iter cleaning/replacement instructions can result in fi res.
• Never use the hood without its bulbs properly installed - electrocution hazard.

Illustration of a hand installing or adjusting a grid panel with arrows indicating direction (no text or symbols present)

Technical diagram of a computer monitor with an open case and two circular ports, showing internal components and directional arrows (no text or symbols)

The installation procedure is illustrated in the first pages of this manual.

The installation must be done by a qualified technician.

Electrical hook up

The mains voltage must match that given on the ratings label inside the hood itself. If the hood has a power plug, connect the hood to an easily accessible regulatory power socket. If it does not (direct connection to the mains), or the socket is not easily accessible, install a two-pole regulatory switch to enable total disconnection from the mains in case of category III overvoltage, as required by the installation regulations.

Caution! Always check that the mains cable is hooked up properly and check that it operates correctly before reconnecting the hood to the mains.

Air exhaust (for ducted units)

Connect the hood to a duct and wall exhaust hole of a diameter equal to that of the air outlet flange. Using a smaller diameter tube and exhaust hole reduces the extraction capacity of the hood and also increases its running noise. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of doing so.

! Use the shortest duct required to achieve the purpose.
! Use a duct with as few bends as possible
! Avoid suddenly changing the diameter of the duct.
! The duct must have as smooth an inner surface as possible.
! The duct must be made of regulatory material.
! Do not connect the hood to flues carrying combustion fumes from other equipment (boilers, chimneys, stoves, etc.).
! Observe the instructions of the competent authorities in relation to the air exhaust. The air being exhausted may not be exhausted into a wall cavity unless the cavity in question is specifically intended for this purpose.
! Equip the room with air intakes to prevent the hood creating suction pressure in the interior (this must not exceed 0.04 mbar).
! The manufacturer is not liable for any consequences of failure to observe these instructions.

Filter or ducted?

! Your hood is supplied as a ducted unit.

If you wish to use it as a filter unit, you must install the proper ACCESSORY KIT.

Note: If supplied with the hood, the accessory active charcoal filter unit may already be installed.

Instructions for transforming the hood from the ducted to the filter version are given in this manual (see "Filter version").

Ducted version

The hood purifies the air and expels it outdoors via an exhaust duct (dia. 150mm) connected to its outlet fl ange. The diameter of the exhaust tube must be equal to that of the outlet fl ange.

Caution! The exhaust duct is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

When routed horizontally, the tube must be angled slightly upwards (around 10^ ) to enable the air to be conveyed outdoors more easily. If the hood is fitted with charcoal fi liters, they must fi rst be removed.

Filter version

The hood purifi es the air and returns it to the room. This version of the hood requires installation of an accessory active charcoal fi Iter unit.

This version requires an air defl ector, a reduction adapter and the charcoal filter/s. The top tube must have its air outlet slots uppermost.
