Frequently Asked Questions - CC4520 ASKO

How do I install the ASKO CC4520 range hood?

Installation must be done by an authorized installer. The hood is designed for under-cabinet mounting. Ensure a minimum distance of 65 cm above the hob. Use the provided screws and follow the assembly instructions in the manual.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode. You must install a carbon filter (ordered separately) to absorb odors. The filtered air is then released back into the kitchen.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the aluminum grease filters by pushing the lock downward. Clean them monthly with mild detergent by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Ensure the openings face downward to drain water.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

The carbon filter must be replaced at least every four months. It cannot be washed. Replace sooner if cooking odors are not effectively removed.

What type of light bulbs does the hood use?

It uses halogen bulbs with a maximum power of 20W each. To replace, remove the lamp cover, change the bulb, and re-close the cover. Always disconnect power before replacing.

How do I set the timer function?

Press the F button to activate the timer. The hood will run at the current speed for 15 minutes and then automatically shut off. Press F again to cancel the timer.

What is the electrical connection requirement?

The hood is Class II (double insulated) and does not require an earth connection. Connect brown wire to phase (L) and blue to neutral (N). If making a fixed connection, install a double-pole switch with 3 mm air gap.

Can I use the hood with a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure there is sufficient ventilation. The exhaust duct must not be connected to any other appliance flue. Follow local regulations for gas appliance ventilation.

Why does my hood have condensation?

Condensation may form during intensive use. It is normal and can be wiped off with a dry cloth. Ensure the room is well-ventilated to minimize condensation.

How should I dispose of the hood at end of life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to a designated collection point for electrical appliances or return it to a dealer. The crossed-out bin symbol indicates segregated disposal.

Description

This user manual gives you a quick overview of all the possibilities offered by the appliance. You will find information on safety measures and maintaining the appliance.

Please retain this user manual and the installation guide. They may be of use to future users of the appliance.

Precautions you must take

Make sure the appliance is installed by an authorised installer (see "Installation" chapter). Do not connect the appliance to the mains before completing the installation.

• Connect the appliance in accordance with the applicable regulations in your area.
• We advise you to wear protective work gloves during the installation of the cooker hood because of possible sharp edges.
• The appliance has been manufactured in accordance with the latest safety standards. However we do advise that persons with a mental or motor impairment do not use this appliance without the proper supervision of a competent person. The same applies to children.
• Never use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been properly installed!
  • Do not lean against the cooker hood.
• Never place objects on the hood unless specifically indicated.
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation when you use the cooker hood on a gas cooker.
• The exhaust must never be connected to a flue that is also used for other heating appliances.
• Never flambé under the cooker hood and always clean the filters promptly. Never leave frying pans unattended during use, as the heated fat may catch fire.
• The cooker hood needs to be cleaned regularly (at least once a month) on the inside as well as on the outside. Insufficient cleaning or late replacement of filters may pose a fire hazard.
• If the connection cable becomes damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer's service department or by a person with equivalent qualifications, in order to prevent dangerous situations from arising.
• Attention! Intensive use may cause condensation to form on the cooker hood. Condensation can be removed easily with a dry cloth.

Precautions you must take

• When replacing the lights, first disconnect the appliance from the mains! Only use identical lamps with the wattage indicated. Only use the cooker hood with lamps installed, in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• The grease filters become hot during operation. Wait a minimum of 30 minutes after cooking before cleaning the filters.
• The power must be switched off during repairs or cleaning. Remove the plug from the mains socket or turn the switch in the meter cupboard to zero.
• Grease and oil are flammable when they are overheated. Stay in the vicinity of the cooker when preparing food.
• We will not accept any responsibility for any faults, damage to the appliance, or fires resulting from non-observance of the instructions included in this manual.

Extraction systems

Depending on the type, the cooker hoods can be connected in one of two ways:

1. To a duct.

The cooking vapours extracted by suction are carried outside, once the grease particles have been filtered. This is the best method.

1. Recirculation hood. When the hood is connected as a recirculation hood, the grease particles and odour in the extracted vapours are filtered.

The extracted air is not carried outside but recirculates in the kitchen. In this case you must have a carbon filter fitted.

Attention! The carbon filter needs to be ordered separately.

Cleaning

Attention! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by unplugging the appliance or switching off your household's master switch. The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least as frequently as the grease filters are cleaned) both internally and externally. Do not use abrasive products.

Do not use alcohol!

Attention! Failure to comply with the basic recommendations for cleaning the cooker hood and cleaning/replacing the filters may lead to a fire. Therefore, we recommend that you observe these instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Cooker hood

Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then wipe with clean water to rinse. Do not apply aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The paintwork on the cooker hood will remain shiny if it is periodically rubbed with wax.

Stainless steel canopy hoods

Do not use any sort of scourer. Treat with a stainless steel care product and polish with the structure of the stainless steel.

Metal grease filters

These must be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter saturation indication system, if present on your model) using non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The openings must be placed downwards to let the water run out of the filters. When washed in a dishwasher, aluminium grease filters may be discoloured slightly. This is normal and does not affect their filtering capacity.

Grease filters

Carbon filter

Removing the grease filters

- Move lock 'C' in a downward direction and remove filter 'G' from the hood.

Replacing the carbon filter

The carbon filter must always be used if the cooker hood is not ducted.

1. Remove the grease filters 'G'.
2. Attach the carbon filters 'J' by hooking the brackets 'K' in the openings.
3. Replace the grease filters 'G'.

Note:

• Saturation of the activated charcoal will eventually occur after prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and how frequently the grease filter is cleaned.
  • The carbon filter needs to be replaced at least every four months.
• The carbon filter cannot be washed for reuse. Saturated carbon is not environmentally friendly. Change the filter regularly.

Lighting

General

This appliance must be connected to the electric mains by an authorised installer who is familiar with the safety precautions and will carry them out. The appliance is in compliance with European guidelines.

Important information:

• The distance between the lowest point of the cooker hood and a hob must be at least 65 cm.
• If the cooker hood is connected to an existing exhaust duct, no other appliance must be connected to the duct (such as a hot water heater or a stove).
• Consider local regulations with respect to the ventilation of gas appliances.
• The shorter the duct, and the fewer bends in it, the better the cooker hood will work.
• Check before you start drilling that no installation pipe(s) is/are present.
• The connection pipe to the cooker hood has a diameter of 150 mm. We recommend that the exhaust pipe has as large a diameter as possible.
• The enclosed installation materials are suitable for reinforced concrete and brick walls. For some types of wall you may need special plugs and screws.

Connection
