Frequently Asked Questions - 3L9 CDA

How do I clean the grease filter?

After 30 hours of use, the filter indicator will light up. Remove the grease filter by pulling the handle, wash with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (upright position), dry, and replace. Reset the electronic memory by touching the speed level key for about 5 seconds until the indicator turns off.

When should I replace the charcoal filter?

After 120 hours of use, the filter indicator will flash. Open the base, remove the grease filter, then remove the old charcoal filter and replace with a new one. Reassemble and reset the memory by holding the speed level key for 5 seconds.

How do I use the remote control?

Synchronise by holding the light key on the extractor for 5 seconds (indicator flashes), then turn the top of the remote until the indicator stops. To set speed, turn the top to the desired level. To activate intensive, press and hold the remote at any speed level for 2 seconds. To change light, press the remote repeatedly.

What should I do if my extractor is not working?

Check that the mains supply is on and that the fuse in the spur (3A) has not blown. If the problem persists, contact CDA Customer Care.

Can I use the extractor with ducting?

No, this model is designed for recirculation only. Do not connect to any gas ventilation, flue, or hot air ducting system. Do not vent into an attic.

How do I activate the timer?

Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Cleaning

You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.

You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the grease filter

The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.

After 30 hours of use, the filters indicator light will switch on to indicate that the grease filters must be washed. you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter. After the grease filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by touching the speed level key for approximately five seconds, until the filters indicator light switches off.

To remove the grease filter follow the steps below:

Pull open the handle on the grease filter as shown in fig. 8. It will release at the handle side. Then lower the grease filter to remove it completely.

To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.

Please note:

Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.

Changing the charcoal filter

After 120 hours of use, the filters indicator light will flash to indicate that the charcoal filters must be replaced. After the charcoal filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by touching kthe speed level key for approximately five seconds, until the filters indicator light switches off.

To replace the charcoal filter, first open the base of the extractor and remove the grease filter as shown in figures 8 and 9. To remove the charcoal filter as shown in figure 9 and replace it with a new charcoal filter. Finally, replace the grease filter and then close the extractor base.

Replacing the main halogen down lights:

1. Lower the lamp panel (G) and unscrew the 4 lamp housing fixing screws (F) to access the bulb covers.
2. Carefully prise off the bulb covers using a small screwdriver and refit the new bulb taking care not to touch the glass of the bulb (Fingerprints will lead to premature failure of the bulb)

Replacing the ambient lighting side lamps

In normal use, the LED ambient lighting should not require replacement and is intended to last the lifetime of the product. In the event that these lights fail to operate, please contact our service department for repair.

Installation

IMPORTANT:

The extractor is intended to be mounted to the ceiling using fixings appropriate for the ceiling. Ensure that there is adequate ceiling strength and supports at the fixing points; if in doubt, consult a joiner or electrician.

INSTALLATION:

The extractor is intended to be operated as a re-circulation device suspended from the ceiling, as shown in Fig 11.

When installing this appliance over a CDA hob, the clearance between the extractor and the hob must be equal to or exceed 650mm. This instruction overrides the instructions supplied with the CDA hob. (The height should be measured from the top of the hotplates or burners)

Where the extractor is to be installed above a non-CDA hob, the instructions supplied with the hob may dictate that the height required above the hob is greater than 650mm.

IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE HOB, THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HOB AND EXTRACTOR MUST BE AT LEAST 760mm

Mounting The Extractor

1. Using the supplied template, mark the positions of the 3 main fixing holes (E) and the 2 additional fixing holes (X) on the ceiling.

2. Drill and plug the holes, as required. If screwing directly to the ceiling joists, plugs may not be required (See Important note above)

3. Insert 3 screws (E) into the main fixings, leaving approximately 3mm protruding, as shown in Fig 12.

Mounting The Extractor

1. Fit the ceiling support plate into position on the 3 screws and rotate it into position, as shown in Fig 13. Ensure that the mains supply cable is located in position and is not trapped or damaged.
2. When in position, tighten the 3 main screws and fit 2 additional screws to fix the support plate in position.
3. When used with a CDA hob, the extractor is required to be 650mm above the hotplates. Measure the height of the ceiling and then the hotplate height from the floor. The length of the wire supports should be calculated as follows: -

Length of cable = Ceiling height - (350 + 650 + Hotplate height)

Adjust the cables to the approximate required length (X in Fig 15). These can be adjusted after install, if required. Ensure that the cable is looped back through the second safety fixing (Y in Fig 15) to ensure there is no risk of the cables slipping.

Mounting The Extractor

Fig. 16

1. Loosen the body fixing screws (G in Fig 16) by approximately 3mm and hook the cable fixing bracket into place. Lift the bracket into position and tighten the screw to lock the bracket in position, then insert an additional screw (H) for security.
2. Make any adjustments to the cable length, ensuring that the extractor is level. Using 2 x 8mm spanners, the extractor can be levelled using the adjustment system Fig. 17
3. Mount the mains connection box (S) to the ceiling support plate using the 2 supplied screws (D) and proceed to connect the appliance to the mains supply, as shown below. Once complete, secure the connection box lid with the 2 screws. If you are in doubt as to how to connect the appliance to the mains supply consult a qualified electrician.

Fig. 18

Installation

1. Fit the fixing support cover panel (C) and secure with the two supplied screws (A), as shown in Fig 19.
2. Fit the extractor top panel, as shown in Fig 20, using the 8 supplied screws (G). Again, ensure that the mains supply cable is not trapped.
3. Fit the 2 decorative curved panels (M1 and M2) to the body of the extractor as shown; note these can be installed offset as shown, or at the same level, as preferred. Insert the screws (X) into the body leaving approximately 3mm protruding. Hang the panels onto the body as shown, finally tightening the screws to secure the chimney, using a stubby screwdriver or spanner.
