Frequently Asked Questions - SHD60FLIGNE SIGNATURE
How to install the SHD60FLIGNE hood?
Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Drill 5 holes of 8 mm in the wall to fix the wall bracket. Connect the exhaust duct (diameter 150 mm) to the hood. Hang the hood on the bracket, then mount the chimney respecting a distance of 65 to 75 cm between the hood and the cooking surface. Ensure the hood is unplugged before any handling.
How to clean the grease filters?
Remove the filters by pulling them downwards after unlocking. Soak them in hot water (40-50°C) with a degreasing detergent for 3 minutes, then gently brush with a soft brush. Do not use abrasive detergents. Rinse and dry before replacing.
When should the carbon filter be replaced?
The carbon filter should be replaced after approximately 120 hours of use. It cannot be washed or recycled. To change it, first remove the grease filter, then unscrew the carbon filter by turning counterclockwise. Install the new filter by turning clockwise.
How to replace the LED lighting?
The LED lighting is replaceable only by a professional. If the lamp is damaged, contact an authorized service. The lamp uses a 1.5 W LED source, DC 12 V, ILCOS code DSR-1.5/65-S-64. Do not attempt to replace it yourself.
What to do if the hood does not work?
First check that the hood is properly plugged in and that the voltage matches. Make sure the speed button is correctly set. If the hood stops during operation, the safety device may have been triggered: turn off the hood, wait a few minutes, then turn it on again. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
Is the hood extracting less than before?
Several possible causes: the grease filters are dirty (clean them), the carbon filter is worn (replace it), the exhaust duct is blocked (check the pipes), or the hood is installed too high. Also ensure the room is well ventilated during use.
Can the hood be used without an exhaust duct?
Yes, in recirculation mode, an activated carbon filter must be installed. In this mode, the air is filtered and then returned to the room. Make sure the carbon filter is in good condition and replaced regularly.
How to use the timer?
The timer activates only when the motor and light are on. Press the Timer button; the time is set to 5 minutes. You can repeat the operation to add minutes. Once the time is up, the hood and light turn off automatically. If you change the speed, the duration is recalculated.
What distance should be maintained between the hood and the stove?
For a gas cooktop: minimum 750 mm. For electric cooktops: minimum 650 mm. Respecting these distances is essential for safety and hood efficiency.
How to maintain the hood to extend its lifespan?
Clean the grease filters regularly (every 2 to 4 weeks depending on use). Replace the carbon filter after 120 hours. Clean the exterior of the hood with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. Always unplug the hood before maintenance. Avoid flambéing food under the hood.
