Frequently Asked Questions - LAM2478 Lamona

How do I install the Lamona LAM2478 range hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is securely mounted to the wall, the ducting is properly connected (if ducted), and the electrical supply matches the rating. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

Clean the aluminum grease filter at least every month or more frequently for heavy cooking. You can wash it in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the LAM2478 can be used in recirculation mode with charcoal filters (sold separately). Follow the instructions in the manual to install the charcoal filter and set the air outlet direction.

What type of bulbs does the hood use and how do I replace them?

The hood uses integrated LED lights (1.5 W each). To replace, contact Lamona service or a qualified technician, as the LED module may require special handling.

Why is the hood loud during operation?

Noise may increase due to a clogged filter, improper installation, or high speed setting. Clean the filter, ensure the duct is not obstructed, and try a lower speed. If excessive, check for loose parts.

What should I do if the hood does not start?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Verify that the safety switch (if any) is engaged. If still not working, contact customer support.

How do I switch from ducted to recirculation mode?

To switch to recirculation, install charcoal filters and seal any duct openings. Refer to the manual for the specific steps, as it may require adjusting the air flap.

Can I install the hood in a kitchen island?

The LAM2478 is designed for wall mounting. For island installation, a specific island hood model is recommended. Check the manual for clearance requirements.

What are the dimensions of the duct connection?

The duct connection diameter is 120 mm. If using a different size, you will need an adapter (not included). Make sure the duct is as short and straight as possible for optimal performance.

How do I clean the exterior of the hood?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent or a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface. Dry with a clean cloth.

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 I 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.

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.

① Minimum distance above hob.

② Position cooker hood centrally above the cooking area, mark and secure using the 4 holes for hanging the hood.

③ Assemble chimney

④ Position chimney, mark the 4 holes for hanging the chimney.

Position the top chimney bracket

10mm below ceiling height.

Remove chimney - drill and plug the wall.

4x Rawl plug

⑤ Secure lower chimney and upper bracket to the wall.

⑥ Secure upper chimney to wall bracket.

DO NOT: Operate the cooker hood without the grease filters.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the electricity only is switched off before connecting.

When fitting in recirculation mode (with carbon filters) ensure the cable is shortened and securely held in place or a cable grid is fitted to prevent the loose cable from falling back into the motor cavity.

Your appliance must be connected to fixed wiring via the use of a double pole switched fused spur outlet with at least 3mm contact separation, the isolation switch must be accessible after installation. (See technical data for fuse rating).

The appliance should be connected by a suitably qualified person. The product must be installed in accordance with all local regulations.

General cleaning

Wipe the external surfaces of the appliance regularly using warm water and a mild detergent. NEVER use abrasive cleaners, or strong household cleaners as they may affect the appearance of the product and/or artwork on the control panel, voiding the manufacturers warranty.

Stainless steel

The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to ensure long life. Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialised stainless steel cleaning fluid may be used.

Note: Ensure that wiping is done along the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly criss-cross patterns appearing.

Grease filters

The grease filters should be cleaned every three months or sooner depending on the type of cooking being performed.

The grease filter is of a metallic material and should be washed regularly using a neutral detergent.

Grease filters should be washed separately to crockery and kitchen utensils.

Grease filters should be thoroughly dried before reinstalling on the hood.

(Illustration shows a generic application, other installations are similar.)

To remove the grease filter:

1. Push latch.
2. Lower filter and remove.

Metal surfaces of the cooker hood 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 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 the duration. Using lids on pans can help reduce the amount of steam being released and subsequent condensation.
