Frequently Asked Questions - DC9101SAU LG

What is the minimum installation height for the LG DC9101SAU range hood?

The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm.

How do I clean the metal grease filters?

Remove the filters by turning the safety knobs (pull and turn). Wash them in warm soapy water, taking care not to bend them. Allow them to dry completely before refitting. They should be cleaned when the S1 LED lights up or at least every 2 months.

How often should the activated charcoal filter be replaced?

The activated charcoal filter is not washable and must be replaced when the S1 LED flashes or at least every 4 months.

How do I reset the filter saturation alarm?

Turn off the lights and motor. Press and hold button T3 for at least 3 seconds until the LEDs start flashing. This resets both the grease and charcoal filter alarms.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode. You need to install the air outlet connection (part 15) and ensure the activated charcoal filters are inserted.

What type of light bulb does the hood use?

The hood uses a 20 W halogen bulb. To replace, remove the two screws on the lighting support, pull it out, replace the bulb, and reassemble.

How do I enable the 24h changeover function?

Press and hold button T1 for approximately 5 seconds. The LED T1 will flash, indicating the function is active. It operates at 100 m³/h with a noise level of 28 dB(A).

What should I do if the hood is not working?

Check that the mains power is connected and that the two-pole switch is on. Ensure the connector of the feeding cable is correctly inserted in the socket near the fan. Also check if the thermal fuse has tripped.

Can the hood be installed over a gas cooker?

Yes, but the minimum distance of 650 mm must be maintained. For non-electrical appliances, ensure adequate aeration to prevent backflow of exhaust gases.

How do I activate the delay off timer?

Press button T2 for approximately 2 seconds. The LED will flash, and the hood will automatically shut off after 30 minutes.

INSTALLATION

The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm.
⚠️ Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
⚠ For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air.
Installation of the extractor hood over a solid-fuel burner(coal, wood, etc.) which could constitute a potential fire hazard (e.g. due to flying sparks) is only permitted if the burner is equipped with an enclosed, non-removable cover and all country-specific regulations are observed. This restriction dose not apply to gas cookers and gas hobs.
⚠️ Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for household use to eliminate kitchen smells.
⚠️ Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
⚠️ Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use.
Do not use the appliance if it is damaged in any way.
⚠️ Never operate the extractor hood without a grease filter.
Do not flambe food directly under the extractor hood.

MAINTENANCE

Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
⚠ Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period.
⚠ Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
⚠️ Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

Wall drilling and bracket fixing

Wall marking:

• Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area in which the hood will be installed.
• Draw a horizontal line at 650 mm above the hob.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown about 1-2 mm from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical reference line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Place bracket 7.2.1 on the wall as shown at X mm below the first bracket (X = height of the upper chimney section supplied), aligning the centre (notch) with the vertical line.
• Mark the wall at the centres of the holes in the bracket.
• Mark a reference point as indicated at 116 mm from the vertical reference line and 304 mm above the horizontal reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side.
• Drill 8 mm holes at all the centre points marked.
• Insert the wall plugs 11 in the holes.
  • Fix the lower bracket 7.2.1 using the 12a screws (4,2 x 44,4) supplied.
