Frequently Asked Questions - KH61SS KELVINATOR

What are the dimensions of the Kelvinator KH61SS range hood?

The Kelvinator KH61SS has a width of 60 cm (23.6 inches), depth of 500 mm, and height of 140 mm. It is designed for under-cabinet installation.

Connect the mains cable to a power socket or to a omnipolar switch with a contact gap of at least 3mm. The mains cable must be connected to a suitable and easily accessible fixed power point. As the electrical installation must comply with the laws and regulations in force only a qualified and authorized electrician must install the hood including connecting it to a omnipolar switch with a contact gap of at least 3mm.

• Hang the hood on the 2 holes by using the screws with expanding plugs, which are appropriate for walls of concrete, plasterboard etc.
• Fix definitely the hood through the 2 security holes.
• Air that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels, must not be discharged into a flue.
• The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels (pots) on the

hob and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm.

Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be adhered to.

CHANGING FROM EXHAUSTING TO FILTERING (Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4)

USE AND MAITENANCE

• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
• It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapors and odours.

Before servicing, repairing or cleaning the hood, make sure the appliance is disconnected from the mains supply either by removing the plug or switching the power socket to OFF.

- It is recommendable to clean the metallic filter frequently by carrying out the following instructions:

• Remove the metallic filter from the cooker hood and wash it in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry. The metallic filter may also be washed in the dishwasher.

• The charcoal filter purifies the air that is replaced in the environment. This filter is neither washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at least every 3 months. The saturation of the charcoal filter depends on the frequency of the use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the metallic filter.

• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with a non abrasive liquid detergent.
