Installation
The hood is designed to be installed and used in “suction” or “recirculation”
mode.
Suction version (see the symbol in the installation instructions)
The steam produced while cooking is sucked in and conveyed outdoors through an
exhaust pipe (not supplied) connected to the hood steam outlet.
Make sure that the exhaust pipe is installed correctly in the air outlet using
a suitable connection system.
Important: if already installed, remove the carbon filter(s).
Air recirculation version (see the symbol in the installation
instructions)
The air is filtered through one or more filters and then conveyed back into
the room.
Important: make sure that there is correct air circulation around the
hood.
Important: if the hood is not supplied with carbon filters, they must be
ordered and installed before using the appliance. The filters are available at
IKEA stores.
The hood must be installed away from particularly dirty areas, windows, doors
and heat sources.
The accessories for wall mounting are not included because walls made of
different materials require different types of accessories. Use fastening
systems suitable for the walls in your home and appropriate for the weight of
the appliance. For further details, contact a specialist dealer.
Keep these instructions for future reference.
Environmental protection advice
The packaging material

appliances.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING
- Disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply
- Clean the surfaces using a damp cloth. If very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the water. Dry with a dry cloth.
- Do not use tools or other cleaning in- struments.
- Avoid using steam jet cleaners
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If one of these
products were to accidentally come into contact with the appliance, clean it
immediately with a damp cloth. Use specific detergents to clean the appliance
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use abrasive sponges, scourging pads or metal scrapers. In the long
run, they may damage the surface
IMPORTANT: clean the grease filters at least once a month to remove any
oil or grease residues.
Washing the grease filter
The metal grease filter has an unlimited service life and must be washed once
a month by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperatures on a short program.
If washed in the dishwasher, the grease filter may become slightly
discoloured, but its filtering properties will not change.
Carbon filter maintenance.
The odour filter should be washed and regenerated once a month. The filter
will retain its odour-absorbing capacity for three years, after which it must
be replaced.
Regeneration procedure
- Wash in the dishwasher at the maximum temperature using a normal dishwasher detergent. To prevent food particles or dirt from settling on the filter during washing and causing odours later, it is recommended to wash the filter on its own.
- Dry in an oven at a temperature of 100°C for 10 minutes
Light bulb maintenance
The hood is equipped with a LED lighting system.
LEDs provide optimal illumination, last up to 10 times longer than
conventional lamps and save 90% of electricity. To replace them, contact the
Authorised Service Centre.
Electrical connection
WARNING: All electrical connections must be made by an authorised
installer. Make sure that the voltage indicated on the product plate
corresponds to the mains voltage. This information is indicated inside the
hood, beneath the grease filter.
WARNING: If the hood is equipped with a plug, connect the appliance to a
wall socket that complies with current standards, located in an accessible
area. The hood comes with a special power cable (type H05 VV-F); if it is
damaged, ask the technical assistance service for a replacement.
If it is not equipped with a plug (direct connection to the mains), or if the
nearest wall socket is not in an accessible area, install a standardised
double-pole switch that provides complete isolation from the mains in the
event of a category III overvoltage, in accordance with the wiring
regulations.
WARNING: Do not weld the cables!

IKEA WARRANTY
How long does the IKEA warranty last?
This warranty is valid for 5 years from the date of purchase/delivery of your

What does this warranty cover?
The warranty covers any manufacturing defects (functional defects), from the

exceptions are described under “What is not covered by the warranty?”. During
the warranty period, repair costs (spare parts, labour and travel costs of
technicians) will be borne by the assistance service, provided that access to
the equipment for repair work does not involve any special costs. These
conditions are in accordance with EU
directives (No. 99/44/EC) and local regulations. Any replaced components
become the property of IKEA.
How will IKEA solve the problem?
The assistance service appointed by IKEA to carry out the intervention will
examine the product and decide, at its sole discretion, whether it is covered
by the warranty or not. The IKEA Assistance Service or its authorised Service
Partner, through their respective Service Centres, at their sole discretion,
will repair the defective product or replace it with an equal product or one
of equivalent value.
