Frequently Asked Questions - KDC61XE3 SMEG

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

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm. If the gas cooktop instructions specify a greater distance, that must be respected.

How to clean the grease filters?

The grease filters should be cleaned every 2 months (or more often with heavy use). They are dishwasher-safe or can be washed by hand with a mild detergent.

When to replace the activated carbon filter?

The activated carbon filter is neither washable nor regenerable. It should be replaced approximately every 4 months of operation, or more often with heavy use.

How to replace the hood light bulb?

The bulb is a 4 W lamp with E14 socket and 220-240 V voltage. First unplug the appliance, then replace the defective bulb with a new one of the same specifications.

Can the hood be used with gas appliances?

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

What are the controls of the hood?

The hood has four buttons: L for lighting, V1 (1st speed), V2 (2nd speed), and V3 (3rd speed). Press to turn on/off or change speed.

Can the hood be installed in recirculation mode?

Yes, by using an activated carbon filter (not supplied). The hood can operate in extraction mode (external duct) or recirculation mode (charcoal filter).

What type of power cord is required?

The hood must be connected to a grounded power outlet complying with standards. A damaged cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized technician.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. Avoid products containing alcohol or silicone. For stainless steel, follow the satin lines with a non-abrasive product.

What to do in case of malfunction?

First check the power supply and filters. If the problem persists, contact authorized after-sales service SMEG. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

For your own safety and to ensure proper operation of the appliance, please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Keep these instructions together with the appliance, even if it is sold or transferred to third parties. It is important that users know all the appliance's operating and safety characteristics.

The cables must be connected by a trained technician.

• The manufacturer shall not be considered responsible for any injury or damage caused by improper installation or use.
• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the suction hood is 650 mm (some models may be fitted at a lower height; please see the paragraph relating to working dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a distance greater than the one indicated, this must be taken into account.
• Check that the mains power supply corresponds to the one indicated on the data plate affixed inside the hood.

• The cut-out devices must be installed in the fixed system according to wiring system regulations.

• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply is adequately earthed.

• Connect the hood to the flue using a pipe with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. The fumes must travel the shortest distance possible.
• All the air venting regulations must be complied with.
• Do not connect the ducting hood to flues that also carry combustion fumes (e.g. boilers, chimneys, etc.).
• If the hood is used in combination with non electric appliances (e.g. gas appliances), a sufficient level of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room to prevent any exhaust backflow. If the kitchen hood is used in combination with appliances that are not electrically powered, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to avoid any risk of the fumes being sucked back into the room by the hood.
• The air must not be extracted through a flue that is also used as an exhaust flue for fumes from gas or other fuel powered combustion devices.
• If it is damaged, the power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a service technician.
• Connect the plug to a socket that complies with current regulations and is in an accessible position.

- As regards the technical and safety measures to be taken for exhausting of fumes, it is important that the regulations set by local authorities be complied with scrupulously.

CAUTION: remove the protective films before installing the hood.

- Only use screws and hardware of a sort suitable for the hood.

CAUTION: failure to install the screws or fixing devices as described in these instructions may mean there is a risk of electric shocks.
