User manual HOTPOINT HBB 6 AB X/HA

[. . . ] gENERAL SAFETY The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 50cm from gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. [. . . ] We will not accept any responsibility for any faults, damage or fires caused to the appliance as a result of the non-observance of the instructions included in this manual. eLECTRICAL CONNECTION The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions. Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled. Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person. aIR VENT (for the suction versions) Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise. Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined. Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°). Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. The duct must be made of certified material. The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are Your hood is ready for use in the filtering version and can be installed in the external exhausting version by removing the carbon filter and installing a discharge tube (to be purchased) to connect the tube to the exterior. Ducting version In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood. The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside. If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed. Filter version The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room. In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal. Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. [. . . ] Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise. mALFUNCTIONS If something appears not to be working properly, do the following simple checks before calling Technical Service: · If the hood is not working: Check that: - The power has not been disconnected. If the hood performs inefficiently: Check that: - The motor speed selected is sufficient for the amount of smoke and vapours released. - The kitchen is sufficiently ventilated to allow air intake.
