Frequently Asked Questions - DOS 60.1 AT TEKA

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

The minimum distance is 50 cm for electric hobs and 65 cm for gas or mixed hobs. If the cooking appliance instructions specify a greater distance, it must be respected.

How to clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month. It can be washed by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and a short cycle. The dishwasher may discolor the filter but does not affect its performance.

When should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter (used only in recirculation mode) must be replaced every 4 months maximum. It cannot be washed or regenerated.

How to change the hood bulb?

First disconnect the appliance. Make sure the lamps are cold. Remove the cover with a small screwdriver, replace the defective lamp with a halogen 12V - 20W max - G4 lamp (suitable for an open lighting system). Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Close the ceiling light by snapping it back into place.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, never use the hood without the grid properly installed. The grease filter is essential to retain grease particles and prevent fire hazards.

How to install the hood in external extraction mode?

Use an extraction duct (not supplied) with a diameter equal to that of the connection flange. The duct should have a slight upward slope (about 10°) and be as smooth as possible. Avoid unnecessary bends and changes in cross-section. Remove the carbon filter if present.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

First check that the lamps are properly inserted in their housing. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service. Remember to disconnect the appliance before any handling.

Can I use the hood simultaneously with a combustion appliance?

Yes, but the room must have sufficient ventilation. The extracted air must never be discharged into a duct used for the exhaust of fumes from combustion appliances.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products or alcohol. Regular cleaning (at least once a month) is recommended to prevent fire hazards.

Is the hood compatible with an induction hob?

Yes, the hood can be used with any type of hob. Simply respect the minimum safety distance: 50 cm for electric (including induction) and 65 cm for gas.

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.

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 65cm 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.

The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

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

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 observing 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

Fig. 9-24

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 23

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.

The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.

In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Remove the grease filters.

Fit the charcoalfilters over the motor.

Align the pins R on the cowl with the slots S, then turn the filter clockwise until it locks in place.

Reverse the above procedure to remove the charcoal filters.

Refit the grease filters.
