Frequently Asked Questions - KH 17285 S AMICA

What is the recommended mounting height for the KH 17285 S hood?

The mounting height above an electric hob is indicated on the technical data sheet. Generally, it is at least 65 cm. For gas hobs, respect the distance specified by the hob manufacturer if it is greater.

How to clean the grease filter?

The grease filter must be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it in the dishwasher or manually with a mild detergent. After several washes, the aluminium colour may change, which is normal.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter is neither washable nor reusable. It must be replaced every 3 to 4 months, or more often with heavy use. It is only used in recirculation mode.

Can the hood operate in extraction and recirculation modes?

Yes, the hood can operate in extraction mode (air expelled outside via a duct) or recirculation mode (filtered air returned to the room). For recirculation, you must install a charcoal filter and an air deflector (depending on model).

How to change the hood's bulb?

Use LED/halogen bulbs or modules identical to the originals. Replacement is illustrated in the manual (figure 7). If the diagram is not present, contact an approved service.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

First check that the appliance is plugged in and that power is present. Make sure the power cord is not damaged. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.

Is it safe to fry under the hood?

Yes, but under constant supervision. Very hot fats can ignite. Never leave an open flame without a container and set a small flame.

Why is the hood noisy?

Normal noise is due to the motor and airflow. If the noise becomes excessive, check that the filters are not clogged and that the exhaust duct is not obstructed. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Can the hood be used without the grease filter?

No, this is forbidden. The grease filter protects the motor and reduces fire risk. Always use the hood with the filter in place.

How to request a repair under warranty?

Contact the after-sales service whose details are on the warranty card. Have the appliance serial number ready (on the rating plate). Repairs must be carried out by an approved technician.

NOTES ON SAFETY

• Before using the appliance, please carefully read this manual!
• The appliance is designed for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to follow instructions in this manual.
• Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.
• Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The length of the duct (usually a pipe of ∅ 120 or 150 mm) should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in absorption mode.
• Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
• The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
• Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the

wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

• For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).
• Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.
• When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, because overheated fat can ignite.
• Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the filter or repair work.
• Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flammable.
• Ensure adequate ventilation (air flow) if other equipment such as liquid fuel stoves or heaters are operated in the room in addition the cooker hood. When the cooker hood is simultaneously operated with burning appliances requiring adequate fresh air from the room to work properly, their safe operation is possible if under pressure around these appliances is a maximum of 0.004 mbar (this does not apply when the cooker hood is used as an odour filter)
• Do not lean on the hood.
• The hood should be cleaned regularly both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, following the indications concerning maintenance provided in this manual)..Failure to adhere to the rules concerning cleaning the hood and replacing filters results in a fire risk.
• If the power cord is damaged it should be replaced by a specialised service centre.
• Ensure that it is possible to disconnect the ap-

pliance from the mains by removing the plug or switching off the bi-polar switch.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical, mental or sensory handicaps, or by persons inexperienced or unfamiliar with the appliance, unless under supervision or in accordance with the instructions as communicated to them by persons responsible for their safety.
• Particular attention should be paid not to allow unaccompanied children to use the appliance.
• Make sure voltage indicated on the nameplate corresponds to the local mains supply voltage.
• Before use, extend and straighten the power cord.
• Packaging materials (bags, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc.) should be kept away from children during unpacking.
• Before connecting the hood to the mains power supply always check that the power cord is properly installed and is not trapped by the appliance. Do not connect the appliance to the mains until assembly is complete.
• Do not operate your kitchen hood without the aluminium grease filters.
• It is strictly forbidden to cook dishes under on an open flame (flambé) under your kitchen hood.
• Always strictly adhere to regulations issued by the competent local authorities regarding the technical and safety requirements for fume extraction.
• Failing to tighten bolts and fasteners in accordance with these instructions may endanger life and health.
• Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour absorber mode
• WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

The control panel is equipped with buttons (isostat switch).

To turn on the kitchen hood, press one of the button to select the desired speed:

1- Low speed. Use this speed when cooking a little food with hardly any fumes.
2- Medium speed. Use this speed when cooking multiple dishes at the same time with moderate amount of fumes.
3- High speed. Use this speed when frying or grilling, with large amount of fumes.
4- Turn off the appliance

Press 🙏 to turn the lighting on/off. The lighting operates independently of hood fan.

Other important information concerning the operation of the hood

Operation in air circulation / odour filter mode. In this mode, the filtered air returns to the room through the outlets. Install activated charcoal filter in this setting. It is recommended to install the air guide (available depending on the model, mainly in chimney cooker hoods).

Air extraction operation: When cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is discharged outside through an extraction duct. Remove activated charcoal filter in this setting. The cooker hood is connected to the air outlet opening using a rigid or flexible extraction duct with a diameter of 150 or 120 mm, and the appropriate clamps, which must be purchased at a hardware store. The appliance should be installed by a qualified installer.

Fan speed: Lowest and medium fan speed is used in normal conditions and less intense odours, while the highest speed is used only when cooking odours are very intense, such as during frying or grilling.

Note (applies to universal hoods only): Due to the design of universal hoods you need to manually change the mode of operation. See Figure 8 for instructions on how to change the mode.

Note (only applies to telescopic and in-built kitchen hoods): Furniture and telescopic cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require installation of the exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be directed to the room as it will discharge filtered air.

Note: Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour absorber mode

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the appliance will ensure trouble-free operation of the cooker hood and extend its life. Especially make sure that the grease filter and activated charcoal filter are replaced according to manufacturer's recommendations.
