Frequently Asked Questions - FHEE26A9S-5 Technika

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the aluminium grease filters at least every 2 months to prevent fire hazard. Wash them by hand in warm water with mild detergent or in the dishwasher on a hot cycle without detergent. Allow to dry completely before reinstalling.

Can the range hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the range hood can be used in recirculation mode with an optional carbon filter kit (not included). The manual primarily describes ducted installation, but recirculation is possible with appropriate accessories.

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

The minimum distance is 600 mm for electric cooktops and 650 mm for gas cooktops, as per the manual. Always check local regulations and the hob manufacturer's instructions.

How do I replace the LED lamps?

LED lamps are replaceable and can be removed by unplugging the connector. Contact Glen Dimplex Spare Parts for replacement lamps. Do not touch the lamps during or immediately after use as they may be hot.

Why does the motor turn off after a few minutes?

This may be due to the high-temperature safety device activating. Ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated and the hood is installed at the correct distance from the cooktop (minimum 600 mm). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I install the range hood myself?

Installation should be carried out by a qualified person to ensure electrical safety and proper mounting. The manual includes detailed instructions for wall fixing and flue assembly. Incorrect installation may void the warranty.

What is the warranty period for this Technika range hood?

For domestic use, the warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase. For commercial use, only 90 days. The warranty covers electrical and mechanical breakdowns but excludes consumables like bulbs and filters.

How do I use the timer function?

Press the timer button (D); the symbol will flash. The fan and lights will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. You can adjust fan speed during the timer countdown.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting air properly?

Check that the aluminium grease filters are clean and not clogged. Ensure the ductwork is not blocked and the butterfly valve is open. If the motor runs but no air flows, contact service as the valve may be jammed.

Is it safe to use the range hood with a gas stove?

Yes, but ensure adequate ventilation in the room. The range hood must not be used simultaneously with open fireplaces or gas appliances that rely on natural ventilation, as it can cause backflow of combustion gases. If in doubt, have a competent person test the flue gas appliances after installation.

Safety Precautions

Take care when the Range Hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on natural ventilation as the Range Hood removes air from the room, which a burner or fireplace may need for combustion.

Provide adequate ventilation for safe operation of the Range Hood. Follow any local laws that apply to external air evacuation.

Before connecting to the electricity network:

Look at the data plate (located inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the available power supply and the power outlet is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

If the appliance is used intensively for a long period of time, you may need to opening a window to improve airflow.

WARNINGS!

- Do not check the status of the filters while the Range Hood is operating.

- Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after use.

- CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

- Do not flambé under the Range Hood.

- Avoid free flame, as it is damaging to the filters and can cause fire hazard.

- Constantly check food frying, overheated oil may become a fire hazard.

- Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- There shall be adequate ventilation in the room when the Range Hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Use and Care

Cleaning your rangehood

The proper function of the rangehood requires regular maintenance operations.

The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.

In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a minimum of every 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:

- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.

- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher on a hot wash with no detergent.

The aluminum panels may alter in color after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.

Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.

Keep motor and other parts free from water as this will cause damage to the appliance.
