Frequently Asked Questions - LAM2592 Lamona

What is the recommended installation height above the hob?

The recommended height is 750mm above the worktop, with a minimum of 700mm.

Can I use this hood without ducting outdoors?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode by installing charcoal filters (part HJA2906). The hood then filters and recirculates air back into the kitchen.

How often should I clean or replace the grease filters?

Grease filters should be cleaned regularly with warm water and mild detergent to maintain performance. Replace when damaged or excessively dirty.

How often should I replace the carbon filters?

Carbon filters have a limited life; replace them approximately every 6 months or when a noticeable drop in performance occurs. Order part HJA2906.

What type of lamps does the hood use and how to replace them?

The hood uses 2W 3000K warm white LED lamps (ref: DBR-2/30-H-64). Replacement should be carried out by an authorised service agent only.

The fan works but the lights won't turn on. What should I do?

Check if the power supply is intact. If the fan works but lights fail, the lamps may have reached end of life. Call an authorised service agent for replacement.

Why is the hood not extracting as efficiently as before?

Clogged filters reduce efficiency. Clean the grease filters and replace charcoal filters if used. Also ensure the ducting (if fitted) is not blocked or crushed.

What is the electrical connection requirement?

The appliance must be connected to a double pole switched fused spur outlet with at least 3mm contact separation, rated at 3A. We recommend installation by a qualified electrician.

Does the hood come with a guarantee?

Yes, a 3-year guarantee is available. Register the appliance within 90 days at www.howdens.com/appliance-registration or call 0333 010 0009 (UK).

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Genuine spare parts are available from www.lamonaspares.co.uk (UK only). The manufacturer guarantees spare parts availability for 10 years.

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on your choice of a LAMONA domestic appliance.

The user manual will help you use your product quickly and safely.

• Please read this user manual before installing and using the product.
  • Always follow the safety instructions.
• Keep this user manual within easy reach for future reference.
• Please read any other documents supplied with the product.

Explanation of symbols

Throughout this user manual the following symbols are used:

Important information or useful tips about usage.

Warning for possible hazards to health and property.

Warning possibility of electric shock.

Product information correct at the time of publication in May 2018.

The company has a policy of continuous product development and reserves the right to change any products and specifications given in this manual.

Figures in this manual are schematic and may not exactly match your product.

Energy Efficiency

In order to optimise efficiency of the product and reduce environmental impact we recommend the following:

• Product is installed in ducted configuration, using maximum ∅ of ducting advised in this manual, ducting as straight and as short as possible.
• Any filters are cleaned/replaced when necessary to maintain good airflow and grease filter efficiency.
• Switch on the hood at the minimum speed required to clear unwanted cooking odours.
• Switch off lighting when not in use or not required.

Metal Surfaces of the Extractor and 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 extractor and even the splash back area if tiled, glazed etc.

(This is not a fault with either the hob or extractor 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 the duration. Using lids on pans can help reduce the amount of steam being released and subsequent condensation.

This product's packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose. Your product also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your home. We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

The lamps on this appliance should only be used during operation of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and used as a main lighting source. The extractor is for domestic use only.

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 part ref: APL2805/6/7 may be purchased from the depot where you bought the extractor. You do not need charcoal filters when using the external Ducting mode.

Fig 1. Ducting mode (APL2805/6/7) ducting Kit (Supplied Separately)

Fig 2. Recirculation mode (Charcoal filters required)

Extraction Via Ducting

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

- Connect the external ducting kit to the outlet of the extractor.

Charcoal filas not required if the extractor is to be ducted out.

Tips for ducting:

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

Extraction Via Recirculation

For extraction via recirculation, attach 2 charcoal filters to the sides of the motor inside the hood. (Part reference HJA2906)

Before attempting to change or fit the charcoal filters ensure power to the extractor is switched off.

• Remove the grease filters
• Align the carbon filters over the pins located on either side of the fan motor.
• Turn the carbon filters gently, until you feel them click into postilion.
• Replace the grease filters before the power supply is turned back on.

Hanging Your Extractor

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 ceiling or wall, check for pipes and power cables.

• If ducting externally ensure the ducting tube is kept as short as possible and with the minimum of 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. (E.g. gas boilers)
• Ensure the requirements of the local authorities are adhered to concerning the discharge of exhaust air.
• Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided when the extractor 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

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

• Remove the grease before trying to install.
• The recommended fixing height for the hood is 750mm above the worktop. This can be reduced to a minimum of 700mm if required.
• Mark and drill the holes required to mount the extractor body.
• The principal securing point is the top keyhole slot; fix this screw fileaving approximately 5mm between the screw head and the wall.
• With the help of an assistant, level and secure in position through the lower two holes tightening the upper screws as necessary.

Decorative Chimney and Glass Fitting

DO NOT: Operate the extractor Without the grease filters in Position.

Fitting the Glass

• Once the extractor is firmly secured to the wall, the glass can then be slid into place.
• Using the rubber grommets '12' and the screws '11' secure the glass to the main body ensuring you do not over tighten the screws.
• Fit the chimney sections above the extractor glass and secure into the brackets above with the screws '8'.

Chimney Sections

• Connect the extractor to the electricity supply (see electrical connections page). We recommend an isolation switch that is accessible after installation.
• Attach the wall bracket '7' to the rear of the lower chimney section using the small screws '8' and slide both chimney sections together.
• Rest the chimney sections on the main extractor glass and mark up the lower bracket fixing point.
• Extend the upper section to the ceiling, using the extended chimney to mark-up the position of the upper fixing bracket '6'
• Remove both chimney sections, drill and secure the upper fixing bracket '7' into position with appropriate fixings.
• Fit the Appropriate ducting kit if venting externally (Outlet reducer '5' maybe required depending on your ducting kit.)
• Resit the chimney sections on to the extractor body and secure the lower wall bracket using the screws '9' provided.
• Extend the upper chimney to the ceiling and attach to the Upper bracket with the small screws '8'
  • Re-fit the grease filters
