Frequently Asked Questions - PLUS430 KKT Kolbe

What are the recommended installation heights for the PLUS430 range hood?
For glass-ceramic or electric hobs, the recommended distance is 65-70 cm. For gas hobs, it is 70 cm. For solid fuel cooktops (coal/oil/wood), the distance must be at least 85 cm.
Can I use the PLUS430 in recirculation mode?
Yes, the PLUS430 can be used in recirculation mode. For odour removal, you must install the supplied activated carbon filter (type K113). No external exhaust duct is required.
How do I clean the metal grease filter?
The 2-part metal grease filter should be cleaned every 2-3 weeks. You can either soak it in hot water with detergent for about 1 hour and scrub gently, or place it in the dishwasher at 55-65°C. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting.
How often should I replace the activated carbon filter?
The activated carbon filter cannot be washed and must be replaced every 3-12 months, depending on usage frequency. Only use a type K113 replacement.
What should I do if the hood is not extracting properly?
Check for clogged filters (clean grease filter, replace carbon filter), blocked airways, insufficient fresh air supply in exhaust mode, or obstructions near the exhaust slots in recirculation mode. Ensure the installation height is correct (65-70 cm).
How do I replace the LED lighting?
Only a qualified person should replace the LED lamp. Disconnect power, allow lamp to cool, then remove the old lamp from its holder and unplug it. Insert a new 4 W, 110-240V, type L14 lamp and plug it in, then refit the holder.
Is it safe to use the hood without the grease filter?
Never operate the hood without the metal grease filter in place. Grease deposits inside the appliance can ignite when heated, causing a fire hazard. Always ensure the filter is properly installed.
What does the non-return valve do and when should it be installed?
The non-return valve prevents backflow of outside air into the kitchen. It must be installed in the exhaust air outlet of the hood body when used in exhaust air mode, unless the building's exhaust system already has one.
Can I install the PLUS430 myself?
Installation should be performed by a suitably qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The appliance is heavy and requires secure mounting. Incorrect installation can lead to electric shock, fire, or the hood falling.
What are the power levels suitable for?
Level 1: simmering or low vapour. Level 2: most cooking with medium vapour. Level 3: high vapour development (e.g., frying or boiling). Adjust as needed for optimal performance.

2. Operating Principle and Use of the Appliance

2.1 Intended use and functional principle

Your cooker hood draws off fumes and odours produced during cooking and creates fresh room air.

The appliance can be used in both exhaust air and recirculation mode.

The air is sucked in by a radial fan, blown through the exhaust outlet of the bonnet body and, depending on the operating mode used and the corresponding installation, passed on (see the following sections and "Installation...").

Particles of grease and dirt, fumes and, to a certain extent, moisture are absorbed by the metal grease filter; however, additional ventilation may be necessary, especially in recirculation mode.

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Intended use and functional principle - 1

CAUTION! Health risks and risk of damage!

Moisture remaining in living spaces can lead to harmful mould growth and damage to surfaces! Do not rely entirely on the extractor fan's suction power to ensure sufficient air exchange during and after cooking!

For odour control in recirculation mode, the supplied activated carbon filter is additionally installed (see relevant sections under "Installation..." and "Cleaning...").

2.2 Operating modes

Exhaust air mode

In the version with exhaust air to the outside, the air drawn in is freed from grease and fumes by the metal grease filter and led outdoors through an exhaust air duct.

A backflow or inflow of outside air is prevented by a non-return valve.

For exhaust air operation, the preconditions mentioned in the installation chapter must be fulfilled and the corresponding instructions must be followed exactly!

If implementation is not possible as described, use the extractor fan only in recirculation mode!

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Exhaust air mode - 1

WARNING! Danger to life!

If the cooker hood and room air-dependent fireplaces or appliances are operated at the same time, insufficient supply air can cause a negative pressure, which draws smoke and toxic combustion gases back into the living spaces!

In this case there is a danger to life!

Inadequate installation can additionally result in fire and health risks as well as operational malfunctions!

For exhaust air operation, observe and follow the corresponding notes and instructions in the installation chapter exactly!

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - WARNING! Danger to life! - 1

natural_image Diagram of a house with directional arrows and airflow indicators, no text or symbols present

Recirculation mode

In the recirculation version, the air drawn in is cleaned of grease and fumes by the metal grease filter and returned to the room.

The connection to an exhaust air duct is not required during installation.

To remove odours from the pre-filtered air, the supplied activated carbon filter should be installed (see relevant section of the installation instructions).

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Recirculation mode - 1

Operation with active carbon filter

The carbon filter removes odour particles produced during cooking from the air already pre-filtered by the grease filter.

For optimum odour absorption, follow the recommendations for use of the cooker hood.

Note that the air flow rate may be reduced and the noise level increased when operating with an additional carbon filter.

If the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode, the amount of room air remains unchanged and there is no negative pressure in the room.

Simultaneous operation of a room-air dependent fireplace or appliances is harmless.

5.1 Efficient use of the cooker hood

Your appliance complies with the latest standards and its energy consumption has already been optimised to a large extent technically.

However, please also observe the following instructions, in order to optimise the effective performance of the cooker hood and keep its energy consumption as low as possible:

  • For efficient and trouble-free operation, always ensure sufficient supply air and avoid draughts.
    Note: Supply air from above and opposite the cooking area generally increases efficiency.
  • Switch on the appliance early to create a stable air circulation and to avoid the distribution of cooking vapours in the room even before switching on.
  • Also ensure stable air circulation during operation.
    For example, avoid turbulence of cooking vapours due to air blasts, draughts or similar.
  • Always adjust the power level to the amount of cooking vapours produced so that they can be completely removed.
  • However, for recirculation operation, note that a slow air flow better ensures the time needed for odour absorption.
  • If possible, use a lid for your cookware to keep cooking fumes low and thus avoid increased power demand and condensation.
  • Leave the cooker hood running on a low power setting after cooking, until the room air has been cleared of any remaining steams and odours.
  • As soon as the cooker hood is no longer needed, switch it off.
  • Switch off the lighting when it is not needed.
  • Clean or change the filters at the recommended intervals to avoid build-up of impurities, increased energy consumption and functional impairment.

Risk of electric shock, injury and risk of damage!!

Incorrect installation may result in hazards and the appliance may be unstable and fall down, which can cause damage!

Follow all instructions in this manual carefully and ensure that the appliance is mounted securely and safely!

We recommend that the appliance is installed by suitably qualified personnel!

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - WARNING! - 1

CAUTION!

Risk of injury!

Some parts of the unit can be sharp-edged! Protect yourself accordingly when handling the appliance, e.g. with work gloves!

- For installation, all applicable regulations, including the instructions, dimensions and spacing regulations in this manual, must be observed and complied with!

Requirements according to the operating modes

The installation requirements with regard to the structural conditions depend on the desired operating mode.

The appliance can be used in one of the following operating modes:

  • Recirculation mode with return of the exhaust air into the room through the exhaust air openings in the shaft (1)
  • Exhaust air operation with air ducting to the outside through an air duct or a permanently installed exhaust air pipe (2)

Please also refer to the corresponding sections under "Functionality ..."!

Diagram illustrating two mechanical or structural configurations with house symbols and directional arrows, labeled 1 and 2.

Notes for recirculation mode

If you use the appliance as a recirculation hood, no special structural measures or requirements are necessary.

However, please note the following:

  • Before commissioning, fit the activated carbon filter on the fan motor as described in the corresponding section under "Cleaning ...".
    Note: Be aware that the carbon filter serves to bind odours and supplements the metal grease filter, but does not replace it! Never use the appliance without the metal grease filter in place to avoid the risk of fire, damage and malfunctions as a result of grease deposits!
  • If possible, make sure that there are no nearby boundaries, such as furniture or niche walls, at the height of the lateral exhaust air slots in the shaft to ensure that the exhaust air can be directed back into the room unhindered. Otherwise, the exhaust air could be deflected downwards / back to the extractor, which could result in poor extraction performance. If side barriers are unavoidable, you can try to block the backflow by closing the side niche below the exhaust air openings with heat-resistant material.

The exhaust air hose supplied is not required for recirculation mode.

Requirements for exhaust air operation

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Requirements for exhaust air operation - 1

WARNING! Danger to life!

If the cooker hood and room air-dependent fireplaces or appliances are operated at the same time, insufficient supply air may cause a negative pressure, drawing smoke and toxic combustion gases back into the living spaces!

In this case there is a danger to life!

Ensure sufficient fresh air supply, as described below!

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - WARNING! Danger to life! - 1

If you use the appliance in exhaust air mode, make sure that the following requirements are met!

If this is not the case, use the cooker hood in recirculation mode!

- For exhaust air operation, it must be ensured that sufficient fresh air flows into the room at all times while the cooker hood is in operation so that no negative pressure of more than 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar) can occur! This can be achieved e.g. by non-closable openings in doors, windows, in connection with a supply air / exhaust air wall box or by other technical measures.

A supply/exhaust air wall box alone does not guarantee compliance with the limit value!

Ask your chimney sweep to advise you on the ventilation system for the house and the appropriate ventilation measures!

The regulations issued by the local authorities must be strictly observed!

- For the exhaust air ducting, there must be an exhaust air shaft in your house intended exclusively for the cooker hood, a permanently installed exhaust air pipe or an exhaust air wall box with an outlet to the outside (for further information on the exhaust air ducting, see the following section).

- The extracted air must not be routed through any ducts through which vapours produced by the combustion of gas or other fuels are discharged! If the exhaust air is to be led into a flue or exhaust chimney that is not in use, the consent of the responsible master chimney sweep must be obtained.

- To direct the exhaust air flow of the appliance into the exhaust air duct selected for this purpose, the air outlet of the hood body must be connected with the opening of your exhaust air duct. Use the supplied exhaust air hose for this, as described in the relevant section under "Mounting...".

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - WARNING! Danger to life! - 2

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - WARNING! Danger to life! - 3

Filter use in exhaust air mode:

A carbon filter is only useful if the hood is used in re circulation mode.

Therefore, do not fit the supplied carbon filter or remove it if it is already installed.

However, never use the appliance without the metal grease filter in place to avoid the risk of fire, damage and malfunctions due to grease deposits!

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Filter use in exhaust air mode: - 1

Information on non-return valves:

Installing non-return valves in the exhaust air system prevents incorrect air flow, i.e. an unfavourable exchange of air between the room air and the returning outside air. This also prevents malfunctions of the extractor fan, such as reduced suction power.

If no such device is integrated in the exhaust air system of your kitchen, fit the two-part non-return valve supplied in the exhaust air outlet of the hood body, as described under "Mounting...".

Note: In apartment buildings with a shared air shaft, a non-return valve is required for each kitchen.

Notes on the exhaust air ducting to the air outlet

KKT Kolbe PLUS430 - Notes on the exhaust air ducting to the air outlet - 1

ATTENTION!

Risk of malfunction!

An inadequately constructed, unfavourably routed or shaped exhaust air line can significantly impair the function of the appliance! Follow the instructions in this section carefully, to avoid problems such as reduced extraction performance, noise development or increased running noise, grease deposits or condensate formation!

Make sure that the following conditions for proper exhaust air ducting up to the air outlet can be guaranteed:

  • The entire exhaust air pipe must be made of non-combustible material and must not be routed through a duct together with gas or hot air pipes or similar.
  • The exhaust air duct should have the following properties:

  • As short and straight route as possible with few bends and large radii (max. bend 120°)

  • Inner diameter or inner cross-section min. 150 mm (if applicable incl. wall box)
  • Round or rounded cross-section (e.g. round ducts or flat ducts with rounded corners)
  • Smooth surfaces on the inside
  • Even course without constrictions or blockages (e.g. fly screens, rigid blades at the air outlet)

- If the exhaust air duct is laid horizontally, a minimum gradient of 1 cm per meter or an angle of inclination of 2^ must be maintained in order to avoid the return of condensation water (see illustration).

2°

  • If the exhaust air duct is routed through unheated or cool rooms (e.g. attics), it must be insulated to prevent additional condensation.
  • An additional condensation water barrier may be necessary (available in leading DIY stores).
  • For the roof version, a double-walled roof hood with condensate drainage to the outside should be used.
  • All connections must be sealed.
  • Ensure that the non-return valve can open and close freely after the exhaust air duct has been installed.
