Frequently Asked Questions - PHPN6.5 FLMX HOTPOINT

How do I install the Hotpoint PHPN6.5 FLMX range hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at least 65 cm above gas hobs and 50 cm above electric hobs. Follow the user manual for precise measurements and ducting connections.

How do I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher using a mild detergent. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 2-3 months or more frequently if cooking heavily.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

The carbon filter should be replaced every 4-6 months depending on usage. It is not washable and must be purchased separately.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can increase if the motor is obstructed or the filter is clogged. Check the grease filter and clean it. Ensure the ducting is not blocked. Normal noise levels range from 45-62 dB depending on speed.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, if you cannot vent outside, the hood can be used in recirculation mode. You will need to install an activated carbon filter (sold separately) to absorb odors.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

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

L : brown

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

(for the suction versions)

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.

FILTERING OR DUCTING ?

! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version. To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed. Check on the first pages of this manual if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished or must be bought separately. Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may be installed on the hood. Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering version is present in this manual.

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

CAUTION!

The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

CAUTION!

If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

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.

T1. ON/OFF light switch
T2. Speed 1/OFF switch
T3. 2-speed selection
T4. 3-speed selection

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. 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 occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.

In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Circular charcoal filter

Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the motor impeller, then turn clockwise.

For the disassembly, turn counter-clockwise.

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.

For replacement, contact the technical service.
