Frequently Asked Questions - New Moon Airforce

How to pair the remote control with the Airforce New Moon hood?

Cut off power to the hood for at least 10 seconds, then restore power. Within the first 5 seconds, press the lighting key T4 until the lights turn on. Within the next 5 seconds, press the motor key T2 and release when the lights turn off. Wait about 10 seconds before using the hood normally.

How to change the transmission code of the remote control?

Press the plus (T1) and minus (T3) keys simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. The code will be changed, then you must perform the pairing procedure.

How often should the grease filter be cleaned?

The metal grease filter must be cleaned once a month, by hand with a non-abrasive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature on a short cycle.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter is neither washable nor recyclable. Under normal use, replace it every 6 months to ensure good odor absorption.

What to do if the LED lighting stops working?

The LED bulbs are integrated and cannot be changed individually. Contact technical support to replace the entire lighting assembly.

What minimum distance should be maintained between the hood and the hob?

For fully electric cooking, 50 cm; for gas or mixed cooking, 65 cm. Also follow the hob manufacturer's recommendations if they are higher.

Can I use the hood in recirculation version without external ducting?

Yes, install an activated charcoal filter (optional) to recirculate fumes and vapors, which will be expelled through the top grille.

Is the Airforce New Moon hood suitable for recessed installation or on plasterboard?

No, fixing on a plasterboard wall or recessing into a cabinet is not recommended. The wall must be able to support the weight of the hood.

What to do in case of a power failure or malfunction?

First check the 30 mA residual current circuit breaker. If the problem persists, cut off power for a few seconds then restore it. If the remote control no longer responds, perform the pairing procedure.

How to reduce the energy consumption of the hood?

Use the lowest speed suitable for your cooking, do not run the hood for more than 15 minutes after turning off the hob, and turn off the lighting when leaving the cooking area.

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.

The hood must not be connected to the flues of other appliances that run on gas or other fuels. When the hood is used at the same time as other appliances that run on gas or other fuels, provision must be made for an adequate supply of air. No food must be cooked flambé underneath the hood. The use of an unprotected flame could cause damage to the filters and could cause fires, so should be avoided. When frying food, never leave the pan unattended because the cooking oil could flare up. Please comply with the technical and safety provisions set forth by your local competent authorities regarding the ventilation of hoods.

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.

Check also the drawings on the initial pages with the alphabetical and numerical references in the explanatory text. Closely follow the instructions in this manual. 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.

The cooker hood is provided with an upper air exit B for discharging fumes externally for models including chimney flue C (Suction Version A- exhaust pipe not supplied). If cooking fumes and vapours cannot be externally discharged, the cooker hood can be used in the recirculating version F: the installation of 1 active charcoal filter F allows the recirculation of fumes and vapours through the upper grid G.

Make sure that there is a power socket near the hood and that the system has a 30 mA differential. The mains voltage must be the same as that on the label inside the hood. The hood has a 1250 mm power cable with or without plug: if it does have a plug, connect the hood to an accessible approved socket; or if it does not (connection direct to the mains), fit an approved bipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of no less than 3 mm (accessible). This installation and electrical connection must be executed by a qualified technician.

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

Product performance test carried out in accordance with standard (EU) No 65/2014-Ref: IEC 61591

Maximum performance is achieved by placing the mobile panels, if any, in the open position.

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 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.

Replacing lightbulbs

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

Led Light

If the lighting group LED does not work, please contact the technical service center in order to replace the whole group.

Reducing environmental impact:

To reduce energy consumption, we recommend you always use the lowest suction speed among those suitable for the cooking mode currently active, avoid leaving the appliance running for more than 15 minutes after burner shutdown and switch off the lights if you leave the cooking area.
