Frequently Asked Questions - TCR90BK Technika

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

The minimum distance is 600 mm from the top of the cooking surface to the underside of the range hood. For optimum performance, Technika recommends 650–750 mm.

Can the range hood be used in recirculating mode?

This model is designed for ducted installation only. It cannot be used in recirculating mode without additional charcoal filters, which are not mentioned in the manual.

How often should the grease filters be cleaned?

Clean the aluminum grease filters at least every 2 months to prevent fire hazard and maintain performance.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the filters and soak them in a solution of warm water and neutral liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry. They can also be washed in a dishwasher.

How do I replace the LED lamps?

LED lamps are spare parts and are not repairable. They can be easily removed and replaced by unplugging the old lamp and plugging in a new one. Contact Technika Spare Parts for replacements.

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

First, check the power supply – ensure the plug is connected and the circuit breaker/safety switch is on. If the motor runs but no air flows, the butterfly valve may be jammed; contact service. If the motor turns off after a few minutes, the high temperature safety device may have activated – ensure proper ventilation and the hood is at least 600 mm from the cooktop.

Why does the motor turn off after a few minutes?

This is likely due to the high temperature safety device activating. Causes include insufficient kitchen ventilation, the hood installed too close to the cooktop (min 600 mm), or the kitchen not being adequately ventilated.

Can I install the range hood myself?

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by authorised personnel. Improper installation can cause electrical hazards. Always follow the installation instructions and local regulations.

How do I dispose of the range hood?

Do not treat it as household waste. Take it to a collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Follow local environmental regulations for disposal.

What type of light bulbs does the hood use?

The hood uses LED lamps (non-repairable). They are connected via a plug and socket; contact Technika for replacement lamps.

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.

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.
