Frequently Asked Questions - UHPM 6.3F CS X INDESIT

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month using non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a low temperature and short cycle.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

Remove the grease filters first. Fit the charcoal filters over the motor, aligning the pins with the slots, then turn clockwise to lock. Reverse to remove. Replace at least every four months.

What type of light bulb does the hood use?

The hood uses 2 x 28W halogen bulbs with an E14 base. Replace only with the same type.

Can the hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes, but it requires the installation of an accessory kit with activated charcoal filters. The hood comes ready for ducting mode.

What is the minimum distance between the hob and the hood?

The minimum distance is 50 cm for electric cookers and 70 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Follow the hob manufacturer's instructions if greater.

How do I clean the hood exterior?

Clean with a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent only. Do not use abrasive products, tools, or alcohol.

What should I do if the hood stops working?

Check that the power is connected, a speed is selected, and the omnipolar switch hasn't tripped. Disconnect for 5 seconds and reconnect. If still not working, contact Technical Service.

Is the charcoal filter washable?

No, the charcoal filter cannot be washed or regenerated. It must be replaced when saturated, at least every four months.

Can I use a smaller diameter duct?

No, using a smaller duct reduces suction performance and increases noise. Use the recommended diameter (150/125/120 mm) with minimal bends.

What safety precautions should I take during installation?

Do not connect to mains until installation is complete. Ensure the wall is strong enough. Use supplied screws. Verify local regulations for fume discharge.

Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.

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.

! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.

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.

Attention! 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.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! 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.

Maintenance of the charcoal filter

It absorbs unpleasant odours 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. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Remove the grease filters.

Fit the charcoalfilters over the motor.

Align the pins R on the cowl with the slots S, then turn the filter clockwise until it locks in place.

Reverse the above procedure to remove the charcoal filters.

Refit the grease filters.
