Frequently Asked Questions - F30 60 S4 Airforce

What is the difference between ducted and recirculation versions?

The ducted version expels air outside via a duct (not supplied). The recirculation version recycles air through a charcoal filter (not supplied) and releases it through the top grille.

How to install the hood above an electric hob?

The minimum distance between the hood and the cooking surface must be 50 cm for electric cooking. For gas or mixed cooking, the distance is 65 cm.

How to clean the grease filter?

The metallic grease filter must be cleaned once a month. Use a non-aggressive detergent by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature, short cycle. Any discoloration does not affect its efficiency.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The active charcoal filter must be replaced every 6 months under normal use. It is neither washable nor recyclable.

What to do if the LED lighting no longer works?

The LED lamps must be replaced by the technical support service as replacement of the complete unit is necessary.

How to completely switch off the motor?

To turn off the motor, press the active speed button (1, 2, 3 or 4) again until it returns to its initial position.

Can I use the hood with gas cooking?

Yes, but ensure a minimum distance of 65 cm and provide adequate room ventilation. Never flambé food under the hood.

Can the hood be installed on a plasterboard wall?

No, fixing on a wall that cannot support the weight (e.g. plasterboard) is not recommended. The wall must be solid.

How to reduce the energy consumption of the hood?

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

What to do if the power cable is damaged?

The damaged cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, its technical service, or a qualified person to avoid any hazard.

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 flambe 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.

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 65~cm 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 30mA differential. The mains voltage must be the same as that on the label inside the hood. The hood has a 1250mm 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 3mm (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.
