Frequently Asked Questions - CTS6ESMX CANDY

How to install my Candy CTS6ESMX hood?

Installation must be carried out by a competent person. Maintain a distance of 65 to 75 cm between the hood and the cooking surface. Use an exhaust duct with a diameter of 150 mm, without bends greater than 90°. Make sure the hood is level and securely fixed. Disconnect the power supply before any intervention.

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

The minimum distance is 65 cm above a gas cooktop. For electric hobs, the recommended distance is 65 to 75 cm. Follow these values for optimal efficiency.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metallic grease filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Soak them for 3 minutes in soapy water, brush gently, then let them dry naturally away from sunlight. Do not wash them with the dishes.

When to replace the charcoal filter?

The activated charcoal filter must be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on cooking frequency. It is necessary in recirculation mode. Follow the manual instructions to disassemble and reassemble it.

How to replace the LED bulb?

Disconnect the power supply. Remove the grease filters. Press the side springs of the LED lamp inward to release it, then disconnect the connector. Reassemble in reverse order. Use an LED module of type ILCOS D DSR-1.5/65-S-64 (2 x 1.5 W, 12 V DC).

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

Check that the power cord is properly plugged in and that the fuses are not blown. If the light and motor do not work, reset or replace the fuses. If only the motor does not run, the speed switch may be disabled or damaged. Contact customer service if necessary.

What to do if suction is weak?

Check that the distance between the hood and the cooking surface is not too large (should be 65-75 cm). Make sure the grease filters are clean and that the exhaust duct is not blocked or too bent. Do not use an expansion pipe that is too long.

Why is oil leaking from the hood?

An oil leak may come from a poor seal of the non-return valve at the outlet or a defective gasket between the duct and the housing. Disassemble the valve and apply sealant, or seal the duct connection.

How to use the control buttons?

The five buttons are: On/Off, Light, Low speed, Medium speed, High speed (Power). Press On/Off to turn on the hood in low speed. You can operate the light and speeds independently. The Power function activates boost mode. Speeds cannot operate simultaneously.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, if you install an activated charcoal filter (optional). In this case, the air is filtered then returned to the room. The charcoal filter must be changed regularly. Note that the suction power will be slightly reduced.

INSTALLATION (VENT OUTSIDE)

MOUNTING OF THE V-FLAP

If the cooker hood does not have an assembled V-flap 1, you should mount the half-parts to its body. The images only show an example of how to mount the V-flap, because the outlet may vary according to different models and configurations.

To mount the V-flap 1 you should:

• Mount two half-parts 2 into the body 6; • the pin 3 should be top oriented;
• the axis 4 should be inserted into the holes 5 on the body;
• repeat all the operations for the 2nd half-part.

INSTALLATION

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as shown in the picture below by means of an extraction duct (enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe, or non-flammable material with an interior diameter of 150mm).

1. Before installation, turn the unit off.
2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cm above the cooking surface for best effect. See pic 1.

1. Install the hook on a suitable place once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in line. The fixed position of the inside chimney bracket is the place of the chimney. See pic 2.
2. Install the v-flap on the outlet. Then attach the converter and expansion pipe, and fix the pipe on the converter with a cable tie, see pic 3. Fix the outside chimney bracket on the outside chimney, and be sure that the inside chimney can be adjusted in height freely. Afterwards, install the expansion pipe and chimney on the cooker hood, see pic 4. Note: The expansion pipe is not included in the product.

1. Put the cooker hood on the hook. Then adjust the position and fix the body with safety screws. Note: The two safety vents are positioned on the back housing, with a diameter of 6mm. See pic 5 & 6.
2. Adjust the height of the inside chimney to the position of the inside chimney bracket and fix it with screws. See pic 7.

HINTS FOR EXHAUST DUCT INSTALLATION

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep the expansion pipe short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict the expansion pipe.
• When using the expansion pipe, always install the pipe pulled taut to minimize pressure loss.

- Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the cooker hood.

- Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

- Do not connect the ducting system of the hood to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other appliance, such as warmer tube, gas tube, hot wind tube.

- The angle of the bend of the expansion pipe should not be less than 120° ; you must direct the pipe horizontally, or, alternatively, the pipe should go up from the initial point and should be led to an outer wall.

- After the installation, make sure that the cooker hood is level to avoid grease collection at on end.

- Ensure the expansion pipe selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.
