Frequently Asked Questions - Ticino TURBOAIR

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

For electric hobs, the minimum distance is 50 cm. For gas or mixed hobs, it is 70 cm. Always follow the instructions of the hob manufacturer.

How to clean the grease filter?

The metal grease filter is cleaned once a month with a non-aggressive detergent, by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperature and quick cycle. Dishwashing may discolor the filter but does not affect its performance.

When should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter must be replaced at most every 4 months, especially to maintain deodorizing efficiency. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated.

How to replace the hood bulb?

Unplug the hood. Wait for lamps to cool. Depending on model, remove the lamp cover with a flat screwdriver. Replace with a lamp of the same type: 40W max (E14) or halogen 12V 20W (G4). Do not touch bulbs with hands.

Can I use the hood without a filter?

No, the hood must never be used without the grease filter properly installed. This presents a fire risk and damages the appliance.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. You must then install an activated carbon filter (sold separately). The degreased and deodorized air is blown back into the room.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

First check that the bulbs are correctly inserted into their sockets. If they are defective, replace them with bulbs of the same type. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Is it possible to install the hood yourself?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician to ensure electrical safety and the stability of the hood. Walls/ceilings must support its weight.

How to avoid fire risks?

Never flambé food under the hood, avoid open flames, monitor deep-frying, and clean the hood and filters regularly (at least once a month) to prevent grease buildup.

What does the recycling symbol on the appliance mean?

The symbol indicates that the appliance must not be disposed of with household waste. It must be taken to a collection center for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 70cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Mounting

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Operation

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

Maintenance

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.

Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Grease filter
