Frequently Asked Questions - F203 Airforce

How to clean the metal grease filters?

The grease filters should be cleaned once a month. They can be washed by hand with a mild detergent or in a dishwasher on a short cycle at low temperature. Washing in a dishwasher may cause discoloration, but the filtering performance remains unchanged.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter must be replaced every 6 months under normal use. This filter is neither washable nor recyclable. The FC indicator flashes after 120 hours of operation to signal replacement.

How to activate the timer on the Airforce F203 hood?

To activate the timer, press the E button (timer) or touch the selected speed key again. The timer activates for 5 minutes. A blinking dot is displayed. After 5 minutes, the hood automatically turns off.

What to do if the FG or FC indicators flash?

The FG indicator flashes after 40 hours of operation: clean the grease filter. The FC indicator flashes after 120 hours: replace the charcoal filter. After maintenance, press the F button (reset filters) for at least 5 seconds to reset the indicator.

What minimum distance must be observed between the hood and the cooking hob?

The minimum distance is 50 cm for fully electric cooking and 65 cm for gas or mixed cooking. Always follow the hob manufacturer's instructions if a greater distance is specified.

How to install the hood in recirculation mode (filter version)?

If external extraction is impossible, use the hood in recirculation mode. Install an activated charcoal filter (not supplied) and the fumes will be recycled and evacuated through the top grille G. Make sure the hood is set to recirculation mode.

What to do if the LED lighting stops working?

The lights are integrated LEDs. In case of malfunction, contact technical support to replace the entire lighting group. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How to use the heat sensor (automatic function)?

To activate automatic mode, touch the 1 and 2 keys simultaneously (or C and D depending on model). The speed LEDs flash in sequence. After about 30 seconds, the temperature sensor automatically adjusts the suction speed. An A is displayed. To return to manual mode, press the B key.

Why does the hood automatically turn off?

The hood has a safety auto shut-off: if no key is pressed for 4 hours, it turns off. Additionally, for models with airflow above 650 m³/h, the last speed is timed and automatically returns to the previous speed after 7 minutes.

Can I use the hood without a charcoal filter in extraction mode?

Yes, in extraction mode (external evacuation), the charcoal filter is not necessary. Use only the metal grease filters. The charcoal filter is only for recirculation mode.

The appliance should not be used by children under 8 years of age and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or have received instructions regarding the safe use of the appliance and are aware of the possible risks. Children must not play with the appliance. Any intended cleaning and maintenance by the user should not be carried out by children unless supervised. The hood should never be used without without the grid properly fitted! Never use the hood without the grill properly fitted!

The accessible components can overheat when the cooktop is in use.

Air must not be released into a duct used to release discharge fumes produced by gas or other fuel combustion appliances. There must always be adequate ventilation of the premises when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as other appliances that use gas or other fuel. It is strictly forbidden to flambé food under the hood. Use of open flames can damage the filters and can cause fires, therefore they must be avoided in all cases. Frying must be carried out under supervision to avoid the oil overheating and catching fire. For technical and safety measures to implement for fume discharge, strictly comply

with the regulations of the competent local authorities.

This appliance conforms to European Directive 2002/96/EC, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Please dispose of this product correctly in the interest of health and the environment.

The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the product, indicates that this appliance may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. If the power cable is damaged you should, in the interest of safety, contact the manufacturer or the manufacturer's technical assistance service to request a replacement, or ask someone who is similarly qualified.

We cannot accept liability for any faults, detriment or fire damage to the appliance due to non-compliance with the manual's instructions.

You should affix the hood to a wall of sufficient weight-bearing capacity, so not to one made of plasterboard.

The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 50~cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 65cm for gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only. Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in case maintenance is ever required.

Ensure there is an electricity mains access point near the hood and that the system has a 30mA differential switch. The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage on the characteristics label inside the hood. The hood is equipped with an electricity cable measuring 1250mm long with or without a plug: if with a plug, connect the hood to a socket compliant with standards in force placed in an accessible zone. If without (connect directly to the mains), apply a device that ensures omnipolar disconnection from the mains, with an opening distance of the contacts that allows complete disconnection of category III overvoltage.

If the cooking top is in use, the cooker hood must always operate.

(2) After the hood has been operating for 120 hours, the "FC" or "C" symbol on the display will begin to flash, indicating the need to clean the active carbon filters.

Automatic Sensor: tapping both "C" and "D" keys at the same time will activate the "Automatic Sensor" function. This function, indicated with an "A" on the display, automatically sets the hood at the best extraction speed, depending on the cooking going on. To return to manual operation, press "C" or "D" button.

Maintenance

Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

Cleaning

The hood must be cleaned frequently both inside (apart from the area behind the grease filter) and outside. Use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents. Never use products containing abrasives.

Warning

Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.

Anti-grease Filter

must be cleaned once a month, with non-abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low temperature and short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

Charcoal Filter - (only for filter version)

The active charcoal filters F are not washable nor regenerative. It should be changed every 6 months in normal use. The active charcoal filters capture unpleasant cooking odours.
