Frequently Asked Questions - BS38-60 ABPH PKM

What are the minimum distances between the hob and the hood?

For ceramic-glass hobs, the minimum distance is 65 cm; for gas cookers, 75 cm; for coal/oil/wood stoves, 85 cm. Always follow the instructions for your specific hob.

How do I install the one-way valve?

If not pre-installed, install the one-way valve by inserting the two flap parts (a and b) into the housing of the exhaust air outlet. Ensure the axle pins point upward and the flaps move freely without jamming.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the grease filters by pressing the locking button on the handle. Clean them manually in warm water (up to 30°C) with a soft brush, or in a dishwasher on a normal programme (up to 30°C). Dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Clean every 2-3 weeks depending on usage.

How do I install and replace the carbon filters?

Carbon filters are optional for recirculation mode. To install, lift the glass cover, remove the grease filter, place the carbon filter on the motor and turn it clockwise until tight. Repeat on the other side. Replace every 3-6 months. Carbon filters are not included; order type CF150.

How do I change the LED light?

The LED light must be replaced by a qualified professional. Disconnect power, remove the grease filter, locate the junction box, disconnect the terminal, press the spring clips inward, and push the LED module downward. Replace with the same type: DBS-2/65-H-120/33, 2.0 W, rectangular 120x33 mm.

What should I do if the hood doesn't work?

Check if the plug is connected, the socket has power, the fuse is on, and the voltage matches. If the motor doesn't run but the light works, the ventilation damper may be blocked or the motor defective. For other issues, refer to the troubleshooting table in the manual.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode. In this mode, no exhaust hose is needed; the air is filtered through grease filters and optionally carbon filters to remove odors. Carbon filters must be installed and replaced regularly.

How can I reduce operating noise?

Ensure the exhaust duct is as short and straight as possible, with a diameter of at least 120 mm. Check that filters are clean and not clogged. For extraction mode, avoid obstructions in the air duct. In recirculation mode, replace carbon filters on time.

What is the warranty period?

The appliance has a 24-month guarantee from the date of purchase, covering material and fabrication defects. It does not cover damage from improper use, installation, or normal wear of consumables like bulbs and filters.

Where can I order spare parts or carbon filters?
