Frequently Asked Questions - Sofia 60 Klarstein

What is the recommended installation height for the Sofia 60 hood?

The minimum distance between the hood and the cooking surface must be at least 717 mm. The ideal height is between 1270 and 1560 mm above the hob.

How to clean the grease filter?

The metal grease filter should be cleaned every 2 months. It is dishwasher-safe. Remove it by pressing backwards and pulling, then clean without bending. Dry it completely before reinstalling.

How often should the carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter (optional) must be replaced every 4 months. It cannot be cleaned and is not reusable.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, if you install activated carbon filters (not supplied), the hood can operate in recirculation mode, i.e., without an extraction duct to the outside.

What to do if the motor does not start but the lighting works?

This often indicates a blocked fan blade. Check and remove any obstruction. If the problem persists, the capacitor or motor may be damaged and require repair.

What type of bulb to use to replace the lighting?

Use a standard LED bulb with a maximum power of 1.5 W. To access the lighting module, remove the grease filter and unscrew the front panel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Thank you for purchasing this cooker hood. Please read the instruction manual carefully before you use the cooker hood, and keep it in a safe place.
• The installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Before you use the cooker hood, make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the cooker hood are exactly the same as the voltage and the frequency in your home.
• The manufacturer and the agent will not bear any responsibility for the damage caused by inappropriate installation and usage.
  • Children under the age of 8 must not use the cooker hood.
• The appliance is not intended for commercial use, but only for household and similar environments.
• The cooker hood and its filter mesh should be cleaned regularly in order to keep it in good working order.
  • Before cleaning, switch the power off at the main supply.
• Clean the cooker hood according to the instruction manual and keep the cooker hood from the danger of burning.
  • Prohibit putting the cooker hood by fire.
• If the appliance does not function normally, contact the manufacturer or a specialist company.
• This device may be only used by children 8 years old or older and persons with limited physical, sensory and mental capabilities and / or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they have been instructed in use of the device by a responsible person who understands the associated risks.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels, the room must be adequately ventilated.
• Do not flambé under the range hood. Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

Important hints on installation

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
  • Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

Important notes about the extraction mode

WARNING

Risk of poisoning from exhaust gases sucked back. Never operate the device in extraction mode simultaneously with an open flue appliance when there is not adequate airflow guaranteed.

Open fl ue combustion equipment (for example, gas, oil, wood or coal-fi red heaters, tankless water heaters, water heaters) pulls combustion air from the room and runs it through an exhaust pipe or chimney to the outside. In the extraction mode, indoor air is removed from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms - without sufficient air intake this creates a vacuum. Toxic gases from the chimney or extraction fl ue can thereby be sucked back into the living spaces.

• Always ensure that a sufficient supply of fresh air is guaranteed and that the air can circulate.
• An air supply / extractor box alone does not ensure compliance with the limit value.

Safe operation is only possible when the negative pressure in the room where the appliance is located does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air required for combustion can flow through openings that are not closable, for example in doors, windows, in conjunction with an air supply / extractor box or through other technical measures. In any case, consult a qualified chimney sweep who can assess the entire ventilation of your house and propose appropriate measures for adequate ventilation.

If the hood is used exclusively in the recirculation mode, unrestricted operation is possible.

Important note on disassembly of the device

• Disassembly is similar to installation/assembly in reverse order.
  • Take a second person to help you during disassembly to avoid injuries.

NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• During cooking, make sure that there is sufficient air supply so that the cooker hood can operate efficiently and with low operating noise.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. Use the intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• If large amounts of steam are produced during cooking, select a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already dispersed in the kitchen, the cooker hood must be operated longer.
• Switch off the cooker hood when you no longer need it.
• Switch off the lighting when you no longer need it.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals and replace it if necessary to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
  • Always put the lid on when cooking to reduce cooking steam and condensation.
