Frequently Asked Questions - IHPC 9.4 AM X INDESIT

How to install the Indesit IHPC 9.4 AM X hood ?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Respect the minimum distance above the hob: 55 cm for an electric cooker, 65 cm for a gas or mixed cooker. Use the supplied fixings and an exhaust duct of the appropriate diameter (15 cm preferred). The hood can be used in extractor version (external discharge) or recirculating version (recycling with charcoal kit).

How to clean the grease filters of the hood ?

The metal grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash them by hand with a non-aggressive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. Pull the spring handle to remove them. Note: dishwasher washing may discolour the filter but does not affect its performance.

When and how to change the charcoal filter ?

The charcoal filter must be replaced every 4 months at most, or sooner if odours persist. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated. To change it, turn the circular filter counterclockwise to remove it, then install the new one by turning clockwise.

How to replace the halogen lamps ?

First unplug the hood. Wait for the lamps to cool down. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to unclip the protective cover. Replace the bulb with a halogen 12 V - 20 W max - G4 (suitable for open lighting). Close the cover by snapping it back into place. Do not touch the bulb with bare hands.

What to do if the hood does not work ?

First check the power supply (power outage?). Make sure a speed has been selected. If the hood switches off during operation, check the circuit breaker. Unplug for 5 seconds then plug back in. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to switch from extractor to recirculating version ?

To use the hood in recirculating version (recycling), you must install an activated charcoal filter kit (sold separately). Remove the grease filter, install the circular charcoal filters on each side around the motors, then refit the grease filter. The hood is supplied ready for the extractor version.

The hood makes noise, is this normal ?

A certain noise level is normal, especially at high speed. To reduce noise, use the maximum diameter exhaust duct (15 cm) and as few bends as possible. If the noise is abnormal, check that the duct is not blocked and that the filters are clean.

Can I use the hood without a grease filter ?

No, never. The hood must never be used without the grease filter correctly fitted. This could damage the hood and create a fire risk. The grease filters must be in place at all times.

What to do if the hood is not sucking well ?

First check the selected speed (increase if necessary). Make sure the kitchen is sufficiently ventilated. If you are in recirculating version, the charcoal filter may be saturated. Also check that the exhaust duct is not blocked or too long.

How to maintain the hood daily ?

Clean the exterior of the hood with a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. Never use abrasive products, alcohol or metal tools. The grease filters should be cleaned monthly. Replace the charcoal filter every 4 months. Unplug the hood before any maintenance.
