Frequently Asked Questions - UIF 9.3F LB X HOTPOINT

How to clean the grease filter of my Hotpoint UIF 9.3F LB X hood?

The metal grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a non-abrasive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. To remove it, pull the spring release handle.

When should I replace the activated carbon filter?

The activated carbon filter must be replaced at most every 4 months, or when the saturation indicator (flashing LED L4) signals it. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated.

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the T1 key (motor ON/OFF). The LED L4 will turn off, indicating reset.

How to activate the charcoal filter saturation LED?

With the hood off, press T1 and T4 (silent key) simultaneously. First L1 flashes, then L2 also flashes to confirm activation. To deactivate, repeat the operation: L1 and L2 flash, then only L1 flashes.

What to do if my hood does not work?

First check that there is no power outage and that a speed is selected. If the problem persists, unplug the hood for 5 seconds then plug it back in. If it still does not work, contact technical support.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the cooking hob?

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

Can I use my hood without the filter properly mounted?

No, never use the hood without the grid or filters properly mounted. This presents a risk of electric shock and may damage the appliance.

How to replace the LED lamp of my hood?

The hood is equipped with LEDs that require replacement by technical support. Do not attempt to replace them yourself.

My hood turns off by itself, is that normal?

This may be due to a power outage or activation of the omnipolar disconnection device. Also check if the automatic high-temperature mode is activated: if the temperature drops, the hood automatically turns off.

How to install the hood in filtering version?

If you want to use the hood in filtering version (air recirculation), you need to purchase an accessory kit with activated carbon filter. Follow the manual instructions for installing the carbon filter and remove the bypass plug if present.

AIR VENT

(for the suction versions)

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.

FILTERING OR DUCTING?

! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version.

To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be

installed.

Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished or must be bought separately.

Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may be installed on the hood.

Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering version is present in this manual.

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

CAUTION!

The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

CAUTION!

If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Filter version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

CONTROLS

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

The hood is fitted with a sensor that detects the temperature. When this becomes too high, the sensor automatically activates the medium suction speed (power). The hood switches off when the temperature detected by the sensor has lowered significantly.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Perimeter aspiration panel

Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency as the ant-fats filter, using a cloth and not too concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.

Maintenance of the anti-grease filters

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
