Frequently Asked Questions - LAM2804 Lamona

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the grease filters by pushing the latch and lowering them. Wash with warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Clean every 3 months or sooner depending on usage.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

Replace the carbon filter every 3 months or when you notice a drop in performance. Carbon filters are only required for recirculation mode. Use replacement part LAM2003.

What should I do if the fan stops working but the lights work?

The motor thermal cut-out may have tripped. Switch off the cooker hood and allow it to cool down; the fuse will auto reset. Also check and clean the grease filters.

Can I use the cooker hood without filters?

No, never operate the cooker hood without the grease filters installed. They prevent grease buildup and reduce fire risk. Carbon filters are optional and only needed for recirculation.

How do I install the cooker hood?

Ensure a minimum distance of 650 mm above the hob. The hood can be installed in ducting mode (vented outside) or recirculation mode (with carbon filter). Follow the step-by-step installation instructions in the manual, and ensure electrical safety by using a double pole switch.

Why is there condensation on the hood?

Condensation occurs when steam from cooking meets the cold metal surfaces. This is normal and not a fault. Using lids on pans can help reduce steam and condensation.

What type of lamps does the hood use?

The hood uses a 1 x 2 W LED lamp with a color temperature of 6500 K. Lamp replacement should only be carried out by an authorized service agent.

How do I register the guarantee?

What should I do if the hood doesn't operate at all?

First, check the fuse box for a tripped circuit or blown fuse. Ensure all power connections are secure. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service agent.

Can I use the hood with a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure there is adequate ventilation in the room. Maintain a minimum distance of 650 mm from the gas hob pan support to the hood. Never flambé under the hood.

Warning and Safety information

Please read these instructions. The manufacturer is not responsible if an incorrect installation and use causes injuries and/or damage. Always keep the instructions with the cooker hood for future reference.

Before using the cooker hood

• Make sure that you have removed all packaging, wrappings, stickers and films from the cooker hood
- It is recommended that you clean the cooker hood's surface before using for the first time.

Metal surfaces of the cooker hood condensation

When cooking with pans using a large water content, large quantities of vapour and steam can be produced very quickly. This steam may condense onto the cold metallic surfaces of the cooker hood and even the splash back area if tiled, glazed etc. (This is not a fault with either the hob or cooker hood if correctly installed.)

The amount of this condensation on any particular surface will depend on many factors including the ambient temperature in the kitchen, the related ambient temperature of the metal surfaces, the general ventilation within the kitchen, the type of food being cooked and duration. Using lids on pans can help reduce the amount of steam being released and subsequent condensation.

Waste Electrical and Electronic ipment (WEEE)

This product bears classification symbol for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This product has been manufactured with high quality parts and materials which can be reused and are suitable for recycling. Do not dispose of the waste product with normal domestic and other wastes at the end of its service life. Take it to the collection centre for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Please consult your local authorities to learn about these collection centres.

This appliance complies with all relevant safety standards.

Danger of toxic fumes

Care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the same room or same area of the house at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.

If there is insufficient air, an under pressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn back into the room.

Sufficient ventilation must be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents.

If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room, the above restrictions do not apply.

2. Installation

Methods of extraction

The very best method of clearing the kitchen of unwanted odours is by connecting the appliance to an exhaust duct and venting to the outside atmosphere via the ceiling or an exterior wall. (Suitable ducting kits may be purchased from your local Howdens depot or online.) You do not need carbon filters when using the external ducting mode.

Extraction via exhaust ducting (vented outside)

Extraction via recirculation (vented internally)

Ducting mode.

(No carbon filters required).

Ducting kits supplied separately.

Never use the hood in areas where devices with exhaust pipes connected to the outside are already operating unless perfect ventilation can be guaranteed.

There must be adequate ventilation in the room when the cooker hood is used at the same time as an appliance burning gas or other fuels.

- Connect the external ducting kit to the outlet of the cooker hood.

Carbon filters are not required if the poker hood is to be ducted out.

Tips for ducting optimal air extraction:

• Keep duct work short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or diameter of the duct.
• Keep ductwork taught to minimise pressure loss.

Recirculation mode.

(Carbon filter required).

For extraction via recirculation, install carbon filters.

These can be ordered separately from your local Howdens depot or online.

Ensure power is switched off to the cooker and before installing/changing the carbon r(s).

See Care and Maintenance Section for carbon filter installation.

Part identification

On opening the packaging, remove and identify each component part.

Carefully place each part on a clean, scratch free surface.

Do not scratch the finished surfaces of the component parts.

Main hood body

Upper chimney

Lower chimney

4x 30mm Round head screw

2x 40mm Countersunk screw

4x 8mm Round head screw

6x Rawl plug

Cable grid

This instruction must be strictly adhered to. Failure to comply could result in overheating and serious damage to your appliance. It is recommended that the installation is carried out by two people.

Before drilling or chiselling the wall or ceiling, check for pipes and power cables.

- If ducting externally, ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with a maximum number of 3 bends to permit the smoothest airflow. (Maximum length 3 metres). Ducted air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electricity. (eg. gas boilers, wood burners, open fires).

- Ensure the requirements of the local authorities are adhered to concerning the discharge of exhaust air.

- Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the cooker hood is used in the same room as appliances supplied with energy other than electricity.

- Never duct into a hot air flow such as a central heating duct. (Reducer included in the Howdens ducting kits.)

For extraction via recirculation, fit the cable grid to prevent the power cable dropping into the motor cavity.

⚠️ We strongly advise that all exterior outlets be fitted with a non return v-flap or louvred slatting.

(Illustrations show generic applications, other installations are similar.)

① Minimum distance above hob.
