Frequently Asked Questions - HDMC9800LB HOOVER

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without carbon filters?

No, recirculation mode requires activated carbon filters to purify the air and reduce odors. If you use the hood in recirculation mode without these filters, the air will not be filtered and odors will remain in the kitchen.

How to clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be washed every 2 months maximum, by hand with a neutral non-abrasive liquid detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. After several washes, the color may change; this is normal.

When should I replace the activated carbon filter?

Non-regenerable activated carbon filters must be replaced every 4 months maximum. Regenerable (washable) filters should be washed every 2 months and replaced every 3 years or if the pad is damaged.

How to reset the filter saturation alarm?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, turn on the hood and press button B (speed decrease) for about 3 seconds. The letter 'E' appears on the display to confirm reset, then switch off the hood.

Can I install the hood above a gas hob?

Yes, but a safety distance of at least 45 cm must be maintained between the lowest point of the hood and the hob. Also ensure the room is well ventilated if using the hood and a gas appliance simultaneously.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

First check that the plug is fully inserted into the socket. If the problem persists, check the fuse (3A) and the circuit breaker. If everything seems normal, contact technical support. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How to change a halogen lamp?

To change a halogen lamp, pry the glass cover out of its slots to remove it. Replace the lamp with one of the same type. Caution: do not touch the lamp with bare hands; use a cloth or gloves.

Can I control the hood with a remote control?

Yes, according to the manual, it is possible to control the appliance with a remote control provided as an accessory. It allows you to control the same functions as the panel buttons.

What is the intensive function for?

The intensive function (4th speed) activates maximum suction for 6 minutes, useful for quickly removing strong odors or steam. After this time, the hood automatically returns to the previous speed. You can deactivate the function before 6 minutes by pressing button B.

Where is the serial number?

The serial number (16 characters starting with the number 3) is on the rating plate inside the hood, as well as on the warranty certificate. It is necessary to contact technical support.

GENERALITÀ

• Commandes (Fig.12):

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside - Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

• Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.
• This device must be connected to the supply network through either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected by 3A fuse.

2. Warning!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.

• Electric Connection:

Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:
- If the symbol ☐ appears on the plate, it means that no earth connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow the instructions concerning insulation class II.
- If the symbol ☐OES NOT appear on the plate, follow the instructions concerning insulation class I.

Insulation class II

• The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.
• The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral.

Insulation class I

This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to an efficient earthing system.

- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral

YELLOW/GREEN = Earth.

The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected to the terminal by the earth symbol 🌐

When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the load required and it must comply with current legislation.

- If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance between the same and the lower part of the hood must be at least 45 cm. If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other

appliances generated by other than an electrical source.

- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.

- We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.

Adjust the width of the support bracket of the top connector (Fig. 8). Then fix it to the ceiling so that it is on the same axis as the hood using screws A and observing the distance from the ceiling shown in (Fig. 8). Slide the top connector inside the lower duct and place this on the body (Fig. 9).

- Secure the lower decorative chimney to the hood using the supplied screws H (Fig.9B).

Pull out the top duct as far as the bracket and secure it using screws B (Fig. 8).

To transform the hood from a ducting version into a filtering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the installation instructions.

- Filter hood:

Please note:

-In order to transform the hood from EXTRACTOR HOOD into FILTER HOOD the active carbon filters must be ordered at your distributor as accessory.

We have 3 different types of Kit, one with non-regenerable active carbon filters (Fig.10B) and the other one with regenerable active charcoal filters (washable) (Fig.10C - Fig.10D).

- Depending on the model one owns, the CIRCULAR active carbon filters must be applied to the suction unit located inside the hood, centring them and rotating them by 90 degrees until they snap into place (Fig.10B), to replace them perform the operation in reverse order.

- For WASHABLE regenerable activated carbon filters (Fig.10C), follow the assembly instructions contained in the KIT.

- For the WASHABLE CIRCULAR regenerable active carbon filters (Fig.10D), remove the pad and follow the instructions in the USE AND MAINTENANCE paragraph, "regenerable active carbon filters".

USE AND MAINTENANCE

- We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.

- The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease

particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.

- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.

- The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.

- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.

- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65^ C (the washing cycle must be complete without dishware). Remove excess water without damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a maximum temperature of 100^ C. To keep the regenerable charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.

- Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are completely dry.

- Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

- The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.

- If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount of time.

- Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.

- Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.11A):

To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane C using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

- Replacing LED lamps (Fig.11B):

If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.

- Commands (Fig.12):

NOTE: with this command it is also possible to control the appliance using a remote control, to be requested as an accessory.

A Button = Switches the hood on/off. The equipment switches on at the 1st speed.

B Button = Decreases motor speed.

C Display = Shows the selected motor speed and timer activation/intense speed/filter warning.

D Button = Increases motor speed.

Pressing the 4th speed button engages the intense function for 6 minutes, then the equipment goes back to working at the speed at which it was activated. During this function, the number 4 flashes on the display.

- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 6 minutes, press the B button.

Attention! Some models only work up to the 3rd speed and, therefore, do not have the intense function.

E Button = Pressing this button activates the Timer function even with any of the 1-2-3 speeds engaged (except the Intense function speed). When the Timer function is active, the set speed must flash on the display when the timer is activated.

After 15 minutes, at the end of the countdown, the hood switches off (motor and any lights remain on).

If the intense speed is engaged, the Timer cannot be activated.

- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 15 minutes, press the E button.

F Button = Switches the lights on/off.

- Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:

- After 30 h of operation, when the C display flashes, alternating the working speed with the letter F (i.e. 2 and F), this means that you need to wash the anti grease filters.

- After 120 h of operation, when the C display flashes, alternating the working speed with the letters C/F (i.e. 2 and C/F), this means that you need to wash or replace the charcoal filters.

- Once you have repositioned the clean filter, you need to reset the electronic memory with the hood on, pressing the B button for about 3 seconds.

After that time, the letter E appears on the display (reset confirmed) and the hood switches off.

- Mechanical controls (Fig.13): the symbols are as follows:

A= LIGHT / ON-OFF key

B= OFF /FIRST SPEED key

C= SECOND SPEED key

D = THIRD SPEED key

If the hood is shut off at first, second or third speed, when it is turned back on, it will start at the same speed it was in when switched off.
