Condensation

Mletal Surfaces of the extractor and condensation
When using an induction hob and cooking with pans of water some of the steam produced by the cooking process may condense onto the cold metallic surfaces. 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 and the type of cooking. Using lids on pans can help reduce the condensation. This is not a fault with either the hob or extractor if correctly installed.

• Never use abrasives, corrosive solvents or brushes.
  ® Never insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.

• Only clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid deter­ gents and a new damp cloth.
  ® If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to replace the carbon filters every 3-6 months, see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”. A build up of grease could cause a fire hazard.
  ” Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
  The Grease Filters

• Your extractor is fitted with grease filters, which help to absorb grease particles and protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues.

• These metallic filters may become inflammable if you allow them to get saturated with this greasy residue.

• To prevent this fire hazard, the filters should be cleaned regularly.
  Depending on use, this should be done at least once a month, using hot water and normal washing-up detergent.

• DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.

Maintenance

Removing and cleaning the grease filters

• First remove the grease filters by pulling down on the handle and pulling them away from the extractor.
• Soak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for about an hour.
• Rinse them off thoroughly with hot water.
• Repeat the process if required.
• Refit the grease filters once they have dried.

(IMORTANT: LET THE GREASE FILTERS DRY THOROUGHLY BEFORE RE­ FITTING THEM.

• (LAM2408 90cm version has 3 lters)
  Fitting the carbon Filters
  • If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
  IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE EXTRAC­ TOR FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.

  • 1. Remove the grease filters.
  • 2. Press the carbon filter against one end of the motor, the fixing point is in the centre of the carbon filter.
  • 3. Turn the carbon filter clockwise, until you feel it click into place.
  • Repeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to place a carbon filter at either end of the motor.
  • Refit the grease filters.
  • The carbon filters should be replaced every 3-6 months or if they show signs of damage.

Before beginning installation

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an electrical outlet available that will be accessible once the extractor is mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode, then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the outside.

• Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the extractor.

• Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person.

• Before commencing installation of the extractor the grease filters should be removed.

• Check inside the product and insure that there is no transit packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws, guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future use.

• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.

• Select a flat surface for assembling the extractor. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all parts and fittings on to it. ” Rawl plugs are provided to secure the extractor to most types of walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the extractor.

• Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
  Installing your extractor
  IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR EXTRACTOR WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 20 NOW TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODES.

• We recommend that at least two people install this extractor.
  IMPORTANT: YOUR EXTRACTOR SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

1. Remove the metal grease filters.

2. Position the extractor against the wall that you are intending to install it on and mark the position of the support holes that are to be drilled.
   2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure (A) in this drawing, and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure (B).

3. Using a drill bit with a 6mm diameter, make holes in the wall on the positions that you have marked in step 2.

4.  Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled.

5. Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 1Omm out of the wall.

6. Hang the extractor onto the support screws.

7.  Fully tighten the support screws (A) and then screw the anchoring screws (B) through the relevant holes in the extractor. Fully tighten the anchoring screws into the wall Connecting to external ducting
   

8. Connect a 125/150mm ducting hose to the outlet (please note that the ducting hose is not supplied with the appliance) using coupler if desired.
   e The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to a discharge outlet that is suitable for cooking vapours. It should have a cross section of at least 150 cm².
   • The maximum distance between the coupling and your discharge out­ let should be 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend. For each additional 90 degree bend, the maximum distance is reduced by a further metre (each bend will reduce the air flow).
   Fitting the chimney
   

9. Take the upper chimney (D) and place inside the lower chimney section (C).

10. Take the flat bracket (E) and fasten to the lower chimney section using the chimney screws (Do not fully tighten as the upper section should be able to slide up/down).
    • Rest the bottom of chimney section (C) on to the top of the extractor. You should take care to position the tabs on the chimney section into the rear of the extractor.

11. Raise the upper chimney section (D) upwards until it reaches the ceiling. You must ensure that it is perpendicular to the extractor.Mark the wall at the upper corners
    • where the upper chimney bracket will be fitted.
    • Remove chimney sections and mark and drill the wall for the upper bracket (using a 6mm drill bit).
    • Insert rawl plugs and fit upper bracket to the wall.
    

12. Rest chimney sections on body.
    Secure lower chimney section to body using chimney screws.

13. Lift chimney section (D) up to the ceiling and secure it to the L shaped bracket using the chimney screws.

Completing the installation
If you are setting the appliance to recirculation mode, then you should now fit the two carbon filters. See the “Fitting the carbon filters” section on page 12.

• The electrical connection must correspond to the electrical requirement noted on the rating plate; which is placed inside the extractor.
  (See page 14-15 for detailed information on the electrical connection.)

• Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish on the stainless steel sections of the appliance after installation.

• Re-fit the grease filters and then switch on the mains supply to the appliance. Check that the appliance is operating correctly by selecting each speed and switching the light bulbs on and off.

Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?

• To get optimum performance from your extractor; the air should be taken out of the room via external ducting.
• Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
• In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the extractor.

What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?

• All extractors have grease filters but if you are using the hood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters.

**** IMPORTANT: If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode,then PLEASE NOTE that some of the vent in the upper chimney section must be exposed. You will have to take this into account when calculating the minimum height of the extractor when installed.

Trouble Shooting

IMPORTANT: If your extractor appears not to be operating properly, please refer to the checklist below.
Vly extractor will not start

• Check that the extractor is connected to the electricity supply
• Check that the fan speed control is set correctly.

Vly extractor is not working effectively

• The fan speed is not set high enough
• Grease filters are dirty and require cleaning or carbon filters need replacing.
• The kitchen is not well ventilated enough.
• If the extractor is set up for recirculation mode, check if the carbon filters need replacing.
• If the extractor is set up for extraction mode, check that the ducting hose and discharge outlet are not blocked or too small.
