Frequently Asked Questions - CTS9CEX CANDY

What is the ideal height to install the hood?

The hood should be placed at a distance between 65 and 75 cm above the cooking surface for best results.

How to clean the grease filters?

The grease filters should be cleaned every month with a household cleaner. Use a soft damp cloth and avoid abrasive products. A dirty filter poses a fire hazard.

How often should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter must be replaced at least once a year, depending on the frequency of use of the hood. It is only necessary in recirculation mode.

What to do if the hood vibrates heavily?

First check if the turbine is stuck or if the motor is loose. If the problem persists, turn off the appliance and call a professional. Ensure the unit is properly fixed to the support.

How to replace the hood light bulb?

Remove the glass panel, disconnect the connection, remove the bulb + socket + cable assembly. Replace it with an identical assembly (LED max 1.5 W). It is not possible to replace only the bulb.

Can the hood be used without external exhaust?

Yes, in recirculation mode. In this case, install activated carbon filters (not supplied) to absorb odors. The exhaust duct is not required.

How to activate the booster function?

On models with configuration 3, press the speed plus (⊕) button until reaching maximum speed, then press the same button again to activate the booster. The hood operates at full power for 5 minutes then returns to normal speed.

Why won't the hood turn on?

First check the power cord and socket. If the light is on but the fan does not turn, the turbine may be stuck. Contact a professional if the problem persists.

Can the hood be installed above a barbecue or rotisserie?

No, this hood is intended for household use only and should not be used for barbecues, rotisseries or other similar activities.

Where to find the serial number of the appliance?

The serial number (16 digits starting with 3) is found on the warranty certificate or directly on the appliance. It is required to contact customer service.

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning switch the unit off and pull out the plug.

I. Regular Cleaning

Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean the unit.

II. Monthly Cleaning for Grease Filter

ESSENTIAL: Clean the filter every month to prevent any risk of fire.

The filter collects grease, smoke, and dust... so the filter directly affects the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate the filter. Clean it with household cleaning detergent.

III. Annual Cleaning for Activated Carbon Filter

Apply SOLELY to units installed as a recirculation unit (not vented to the outside). This filter traps odors and must be replaced at least once a year

depending on how frequently the cooker hood is used.

IV. Changing a Light Bulb

Remove the screws on the glass, take off the hood glass. Find the bulb that requires replacement; it is located in the light fixture inside the exposed section of the canopy.

Disconnect the light wiring point and remove the bulb holders and wiring from the hood. Important: It is not possible to replace the bulbs individually; it will be necessary to obtain the bulbs, bulb holders, and wiring as a complete part. (LED light: MAX 1.5W)

Fit the replacement bulbs, bulb holders, and wiring in the same manner as the originals. Then reconnect the light wiring point.

Refit the hood glass and fasten the glass screws. Make sure the screws are fully tightened.
