Safety Instructions

Before installing or using the CLARA Cooker Hood, please carefully read and follow all safety instructions provided in the user manual. Some important safety instructions are:

• Do not touch the cooker hood with wet hands
• Do not use the cooker hood for any purpose other than removing cooking fumes and odors
• Do not store any flammable materials near the cooker hood
• Do not leave the cooker hood unattended while in use
• Read all instructions carefully before use and keep the user manual in a safe place for future reference.
• The installation work may only be carried out by an electrician or a qualified person. Before using the cooker hood, make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the cooker hood correspond to the voltage and frequency of the power supply in your household.
• We accept no liability for damage caused by improper use or installation.
• Children under 8 years of age must not use the cooker hood.
• The appliance is intended for use in the home and similar environments only. It is not intended for commercial use.
• Clean the appliance and the filter regularly to keep the appliance working efficiently.
• Always disconnect the power plug from the socket before cleaning.
• Clean the appliance exactly as indicated in the operating instructions.
• Do not use an open fire under the extractor hood.
• If the unit is not functioning normally, contact the manufacturer or a specialist company.
• Children from the age of 8 years and mentally, sensory and physically impaired persons may only use the device if they have been informed in detail about the functions and safety precautions by a supervisor responsible for them beforehand and understand the associated risks.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised specialist company or a similarly qualified person.
• If the cooker hood is used with cookers that burn gas or other fuels, there must be adequate ventilation in the room.
• Do not flambé under the extractor hood.
• Caution: The surface of the unit may become hot during operation.

Important instructions for installation

• The air must not be discharged into a flue used for extracting flue gases from gas or other fuels (does not apply to appliances that only return the air to the room).
• Observe all regional regulations for the installation of ventilation systems.

Important notes on exhaust air operation
WARNING Danger of poisoning from recirculated exhaust gases! Do not operate the appliance in extract air mode if it is operated together with a room air-dependent fireplace and sufficient air circulation is not guaranteed.

Room air-dependent fireplaces such as gas, oil, wood or coal heaters, boilers or instantaneous water heaters draw the air from the room and lead it outdoors through an exhaust pipe or chimney. In extract air mode, air is extracted from the kitchen and neighbouring rooms. Without sufficient supply air, negative pressure is created. Toxic gases from the chimney or exhaust pipe can be sucked back into the living rooms.

• Make sure that sufficient fresh air supply is guaranteed and that the air can circulate.
• A supply air/exhaust air wall box is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit value.

Safe operation is only possible if the negative pressure at the location of the fireplace does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved if the air required for combustion can flow in through non-closable openings in doors and windows in conjunction with a supply air / exhaust air wall box. In any case, have a master chimney sweep advise you and assess the entire ventilation system of the house. If necessary, they can tell you the necessary measure for ventilation. If the cooker hood is used exclusively in recirculation mode, operation is possible without restriction.

Important note on dismantling the unit

• Disassembly is the same as installation/assembly in reverse order.
• Have a second person help you during disassembly to avoid injury.

Installation

The CLARA Cooker Hood can be installed either as a ducted or ductless system. Please refer to the user manual for detailed installation instructions and diagrams.

Installation with exhaust air
Note: Observe the safety instructions for operating the unit when the air is discharged to the outside. If the cooker hood is in operation at the same time as an appliance that draws its energy from a source other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).

Important notes for the installation of exhaust air pipes
The following rules must be strictly observed to guarantee optimum air extraction: Failure to follow these instructions will reduce the performance and increase the noise level of the cooker hood.

• Lay the exhaust pipe as short and straight as possible.
• Do not use a smaller exhaust pipe and do not constrict it.
• When using flexible pipes, the pipe must always be installed tightly in order to minimise pressure loss.
• All installation work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician or a qualified person.
• Do not connect the hood’s exhaust pipe to an existing ventilation system that is being used for another device, such as a fireplace.
• The angle of the bend of the exhaust air pipe should not be less than 120°. Align the pipe horizontally. Alternatively, the pipe should go up from the starting point and be led to an outer wall.
• Make sure that the exhaust duct selected for installation complies with the relevant standards and is fire-resistant.
• After installation, make sure that the cooker hood hangs horizontally to avoid one-sided accumulation of grease.

Mounting the backflow flap
If the cooker hood does not have a pre-assembled backflow flap, install the parts as follows:

1. Install the first half (2) into the housing (6).
2. The pin (3) should be facing upwards.
3. The axle (4) is inserted into the holes (5) on the housing.
4. Repeat all the steps for the second half of the flap.

Preparation
If you have an extractor to the outside, you can install the extractor hood as shown in the picture on the right. The flue should have a diameter of at least 150 mm and be made of enamel, aluminium or a flexible, heat-resistant tube.

• Switch off the device before installation and pull the power plug out.
• The extractor hood should be placed at a height of 65-75 cm above the hob.

• Insert the filter into the slots on the back of the cooker hood.
• Press the button on the handle of the filter.
• Release the handle as soon as the filter is in the desired position.
• Repeat the above steps to install all filters.

Installing an activated carbon filter (not included)
Note: You can also purchase an activated carbon filter for this cooker hood under item number 10035386. To do so, visit our website: www.klarstein.co.uk.

1. With an activated carbon filter, unpleasant food odours can be filtered out of the air in internally vented extractor hoods. As a rule, the activated carbon filter should be changed every 3 to 6 months, depending on your cooking habits.
2. Before inserting the activated carbon filter, pull the power plug out of the socket. To be able to install the filter, you must first remove the grease filter. Press the fastener and pull it down.
3. Put the activated carbon filter on the fan and turn it clockwise to tighten. Repeat the procedure on the other side. Make sure the filter is tight, otherwise it could come loose and pose a hazard. Replace the grease filter and insert the plug into the socket.

Note: If an activated carbon filter is installed, the extraction performance decreases slightly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Switch off the extractor hood and pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning and maintenance. The outer surfaces are susceptible to scratches and stains. Therefore, do not use scouring agents for cleaning and wipe away residues of alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar) immediately after cleaning.

Stainless steel surfaces
The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly to ensure a long service life. Use stainless steel cleaner for this purpose. Always wipe along the grain of the stainless steel to prevent crisscrossing scratch marks.

Control panel interface
The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing detergent. Before cleaning, make sure the cloth is clean and well wrung out. Use a dry, soft cloth to remove excess moisture after cleaning.

Monthly cleaning of the grease filters
Clean the filter every month to avoid a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust and thus influences the efficiency of the cooker hood. If the filter is not cleaned, grease residues will collect there. Clean the filter with water and a little washing-up liquid and let it air dry afterwards.
