Frequently Asked Questions - PHBS9.8CLTDK HOTPOINT

How do I install the Hotpoint PHBS9.8CLTDK range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified person. Ensure the hood is at least 65 cm above electric hobs and 75 cm above gas hobs. Fix the hood to the wall or cabinet using the supplied brackets. For ducted mode, connect the exhaust duct to the outlet. For recirculating mode, install the charcoal filter.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter every month or more frequently with heavy use. Remove the filter and wash it by hand with mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Allow to dry completely before reinserting.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter is used for recirculating mode. Replace it every 3-6 months depending on usage. Remove the grease filter first, then slide out the old charcoal filter and insert a new one (model specific). Ensure it locks into place.

Can the LED lights be replaced?

Yes, the LED bulbs are replaceable. Turn off the power, remove the light cover, and carefully pull out the old LED. Insert a new LED of the same type (1.5W, GU10 base). Ensure proper alignment before reinstalling the cover.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can increase due to dirty filters, loose installation, or blocked ductwork. Clean the grease filter regularly and ensure the hood is securely mounted. Check the duct for obstructions. If noise persists, contact service.

How do I switch between ducted and recirculating mode?

To switch, first remove the grease filter. For ducted mode, ensure the exhaust outlet is connected to a duct leading outside. For recirculating, install a charcoal filter in the designated slot and close the outlet with the supplied plastic cover. Refer to the manual for your specific model.

What does the intensive speed do?

The intensive speed (boost) runs the motor at maximum power for a short period (usually 5-10 minutes) to quickly remove strong odors or steam. After the cycle, it returns to the previous speed. Use sparingly to save energy.

My remote control is not working. What should I do?

First, check the batteries in the remote and replace if needed. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the hood. If the hood has a pairing mode, re-pair the remote following the manual. If still not working, the remote may need replacement.

What is the recommended height above the cooktop?

For optimal performance and safety, install the hood at a height of 65-75 cm above electric hobs and 75-85 cm above gas hobs. Adjust within this range based on your ceiling height and personal comfort.

How do I reset the filter cleaning indicator?

After cleaning the grease filter, press and hold the reset button (usually labeled 'R' or a similar icon) for about 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Some models reset automatically after a certain runtime.

WARNING!

Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

If the cable is not fitted with a plug, connect the wires according to the following table:

Mains voltage and frequency

Refer to the rating indicated on the plate inside of the hood

Wire connection

Replacing the power cable

The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

AIR VENT

FILTERING OR DUCTING ?

Your cooker hood is designed to be used only in filtering version.

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

The filtering system provides a High Performance activated charcoal filter

Note: due to its technical characteristics, it is not possible to use the hood in the extraction mode

Important! To proceed with the installation it is necessary to use a tube of flexible type

Filter version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

CONTROLS

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

To select hood functions, simply touch the controls:

T1. Button ON/OFF suction motor

T2. Button to select medium suction speed (power)

T3. Button to select high and intensive suction speed (power)

Press once to select high suction speed (power) (LED T3 on);

Press again to select intensive suction speed (power) (LED T3 flashing).

Note: The intensive suction (power) speed lasts for approximately 5 minutes, then the high suction speed (power) is set automatically.

T4. Automatic shutdown button (Timer) and saturation indicator for charcoal filter:

Automatic shutdown:

Press this button to set the automatic shutdown of the active suction speed (power):

Silent suction speed (power): 20 minutes

Medium suction speed (power): 15 minutes

High suction speed (power): 10 minutes

Saturation indicator charcoal filter

When flashing, perform maintenance of the charcoal filter, if installed, then keep the button T1 pressed for a long time to stop the flashing.

T5. Button to select 'silent' suction speed (power) and saturation indicator for grease filter

Note: when flashing, perform maintenance of the grease filter; then keep the button T1 pressed for a long time to stop the flashing.

T6. Button ON/OFF lighting

T2+T3+T4 flashing: automatic operation under high temperature conditions (see relevant paragraph)

Activation of the charcoal filter saturation indicator

This indicator is normally deactivated. To activate it, proceed as follows:

With the hood off, press and keep pressed simultaneously T2 and T3: T3 starts flashing first, then T2 as well, to indicate successful activation.

Deactivation of charcoal filter saturation LED: repeat the operation described above; T3 and T2 start flashing, then only T3 to indicate successful deactivation.

Automatic operation under high temperature conditions

The hood is equipped with a sensor which detects the temperature. When this becomes too high, the sensor automatically turns on the medium suction speed (power). The hood turns off as soon as the temperature detected by the sensor is lowered significantly.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Maintenance of the anti-grease filters

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

This filter has better performance than a standard filter due to coupling between a metal filter made entirely of steel, and a filter with several layers of metal mesh.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Maintenance of the charcoal filter It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.

The saturation of the charcoal filter happens after a more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter.

In any case, you need to replace the cartridge at least every 5 years.

It CANNOT be washed or regenerated

To obtain excellent suction performance, the filter is larger than the standard filters and is installed on a support above the hood.

Fitting or replacing the carbon filter

1. Disconnect the hood from the mains.

2. Insert the cylindrical filter inside the support.

3. Secure the filter with the screws and plates provided with the appliance.

Proceed in reverse order to remove.

Replacing lamps

The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology.

The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times longer than the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.

To replace lights, contact authorised spare part center.
