Frequently Asked Questions - HGD550SI AIRLUX

What is the minimum installation height of the hood above the hob?

The minimum safety distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm. For gas cookers, respect the distance indicated in the cooker's instructions if greater.

How to clean the grease filters?

Grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months (more often with heavy use). They can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with a mild detergent.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced approximately every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is used intensively.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, if you install an activated charcoal filter, the hood can operate in recirculation mode (air is filtered then returned to the room). In extraction mode, air is expelled outside via a duct.

What type of lighting does this hood use?

The hood is equipped with halogen or self-protected metal halide lamps. Use exclusively lamps of this type for replacement.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check that the hood is plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure that the filters are not clogged. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an approved professional.

Can I install the hood myself?

The electrical installation (wiring) must be carried out by a competent technician. The wall mounting can be done by a handy person, following the instructions and safety distances.

What is the required supply voltage?

Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate (usually 220-240 V). The hood is Class I, requiring earthing.

Can I use the hood simultaneously with a gas appliance?

Yes, but the room must be adequately ventilated to prevent backflow of combustion gases. The negative pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar.

How to maintain the hood?

Clean the hood with a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. Clean the filters regularly and replace the charcoal filter as recommended.

EN 1. SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety and correct operation of the appliance, read this manual carefully before installation and use. Always keep these instructions with the appliance even if you move or sell it. Users must fully know the operation and safety features of the appliance.

The wire connection has to be done by specialized technician.

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be respected.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place.
• With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging,

it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

WARNING: Before installing the Hood, remove the protective films.

- Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood.

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

4. CONTROLS

L	Light Switches the lighting system on and off.
V	Speed Sets the operating speed of the extractor:0. Motor Off.1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence of light cooking vapour.2. Medium speed, suitable for most operating conditions given the optimum treated air flow/noise level ratio.3. Maximum speed, used for eliminating the highest cooking vapour emission, including long periods.
