Frequently Asked Questions - DEF6550.0E Küppersbusch

How to clean the grease filter?

The metallic grease filter must be cleaned once a month. You can wash it by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. To remove it, pull the spring handle.

When to replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter must be replaced every 4 months maximum. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated. This filter is only needed in recirculation mode.

How to replace the LED bulb?

First unplug the appliance. Wait for the lamps to cool. Fully open the drawer, remove the suction grid, then replace the defective bulb with an LED bulb of 2.5 W max, E14 base.

What minimum distance should be kept between the hood and the hob?

For an electric hob, the minimum distance is 43 cm. For a gas or mixed hob, it is 65 cm. If the cooker's manual specifies a greater distance, follow that.

How to activate recirculation mode with charcoal filter?

To use the hood in recirculation mode, install the charcoal filter (not supplied) and follow the saturation indicator activation procedure: hood off, press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously until LEDs L1 and L2 flash. To deactivate, repeat the operation.

What do the flashing of LEDs L3 and L4 mean?

If LEDs L3 and L4 flash alternately, it indicates the grease filter is saturated and needs cleaning. If they flash simultaneously, it indicates saturation of the charcoal filter (if activated). After maintenance, press button 2 until they turn off.

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning the grease filter or replacing the charcoal filter, press button 2 (OFF/decrease button) until the LEDs turn off.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, never use the hood without the grease filter properly installed, as this could damage the motor and increase the risk of fire.

How to activate the timer?

Press the ON/OFF Timer button (button 2) to activate the timer. The duration depends on the selected speed: 20 min (speed 1), 15 min (speed 2), 10 min (speed 3), 5 min (intensive speed). The speed LED flashes to indicate the timer is active.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

First check that the appliance is plugged in and the power supply is active. Then check that the bulbs are correctly installed. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Extraction version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

CAUTION!

The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

CAUTION!

If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

Filtration version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 43cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

WARNING!

Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls and/or lateral wall units check that there is sufficient space to install the hood and that access to the command panel is easy.

Operation

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

Note: The activated charcoal filter saturation is normally disabled and is enabled only if the hood is used in the filtering version (with charcoal filter installed).

In order to activate it, proceed as follows:

- Switch off the hood

- Keep pressed simultaneously buttons 3 and 4, until the LEDs L1 and L2 flash briefly.

Repeat the operation to disable; only LED L1 flashes briefly.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Grease filter

Fig. 3-12

Traps cooking grease particles.

The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 10

It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.

The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.

In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months.

The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Replacing lamps

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

Extract the drawer completely.

Remove the suction gril to access the lamp area.

Replace the damaged lamp.

Use E14 2,5W max LED lamps only. For more details, check enclosed leaflet "ILCOS D" (alfanumeric position "1e").

If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
