Frequently Asked Questions - KHU60EB PKM

How to install the PKM KHU60EB hood?

Installation can be done on the wall or under a cabinet. For wall installation, drill 8 mm holes, insert the wall plugs and fix the hood with the provided screws. For under cabinet installation, drill six 4 mm holes in the bottom of the cabinet, fix the hood with six screws, and connect the air outlet with an exhaust hose. Imperatively follow the minimum distances relative to the hob.

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

The minimum distance depends on the type of hob: 65 cm for a ceramic or vitroceramic hob, 75 cm for a gas cooker, and 85 cm for a coal, oil or wood cooker. These distances are imperative to avoid any risk of fire.

How to clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned about once a month. You can wash it by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at 30°C. Avoid abrasive or corrosive detergents. Let it dry well before putting it back.

How often to change the carbon filter?

The activated carbon filter (model CF 130) should be changed every 3 to 6 months depending on use. It cannot be cleaned or recycled. A used filter reduces the efficiency of the hood in recirculation mode.

What to do if the hood does not work at all?

First check that the plug is properly connected and that the socket is powered. Test the socket with another device. Also check the circuit fuse. If the problem persists, contact a qualified professional.

How to change the LED bulb of the hood?

First unplug the appliance. Pull the front part of the hood to access the bulb. Push the bulb from the inside and remove the wire from the terminal. Replace with an identical LED bulb (2 W). Do not touch the bulb with bare hands.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without a carbon filter?

No, the carbon filter is essential in recirculation mode to neutralize odors. Without it, the extracted air will not be filtered and the hood will not work correctly. This filter is optional and sold separately.

What are the possible installation modes?

The hood can be installed in two ways: on the wall (option 1) or under a kitchen cabinet (option 2). Both methods require drilling and using the provided screws and wall plugs. The instruction manual details each step.

How to activate extraction mode?

For extraction mode, install the non-return flap on the air outlet, connect an exhaust hose (diameter 120/150 mm) and lead it outside. If you have a carbon filter, remove it before using this mode.

How to unblock the ventilation flap?

If the motor does not work but the light comes on, the ventilation flap may be blocked. Unplug the appliance, then manually unblock the flap by turning it. If the problem persists, the motor may be faulty and must be replaced.
