YOUR COOKER HOOD

Introduction
Congratulations on choosing this Pelgrim cooker hood. This product is designed with simple operation and optimum comfort in mind.
This extractor hood has AutoAir functionality. Via a hob with AutoAir function, the cooker hood can then be controlled in 3 different ways: manually, semi-automatically, and fully automatically.
Choose the way that suits you best. Of course, you can always adjust the settings yourself.
These instructions for use explain how you can make best use of this appliance. These instructions contain information about the operation of the appliance and background  information that may be of help to you during its use.

First read the safety instructions before using the appliance!
Read these instructions thoroughly before you first use the appliance, and keep the instructions for future use.
You can find the most recent version of the instructions for use on our website.

Extraction systems

The cooker hood can be connected in two ways:

1. As a cooker hood connected to an exhaust duct.
   The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood, filtered, and exhausted outdoors. This is the best way!

2. As a recirculation cooker hood.
   The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood and the grease droplets and odours are filtered out. The filtered air is not exhausted outdoors, but is returned to the kitchen. You then need to fit carbon filters.

Note! Carbon filters must be ordered separately.

OPERATION WITH A CONNECTED HOB

Making the connection between cooker hood and hob
The connection to an AutoAir hob is not active by default. First the connection to the hob must be activated.
At the same time, a setting must also be made on the hob; see the hob manual for this.
Check our website for the full range of hobs that can be connected to your cooker hood.

Making a connection

1. Turn off the hood and the lighting.

2. Touch and hold the automatic mode key for three seconds.
   The automatic mode key, the lighting key and the timer key will flash simultaneously for a maximum of two minutes.
   On your hob, activate the pairing mode in the user menu (see the hob manual). The connection to the hob is established.

3. The connection is successful when the automatic mode key, the lighting key and the timer key are illuminated continuously for four seconds.

If the automatic mode key, the lighting key and the timer key are no longer illuminated within two minutes, the connection was not successful. Repeat the procedure. If  necessary, clear the hood’s memory (see “Disconnecting”).

Disconnecting

1. Turn off the hood and the lighting.
2. Touch and hold the automatic mode key for three seconds.
   The automatic mode key, the lighting key and the timer key will blink five times simultaneously.
   The hob is no longer connected.

Automatic mode
The hob can control the extraction of the cooker hood in 3 different ways: manually, semi-automatically, and fully automatically. The automatic mode is for the user who  wants the extraction level to automatically adjust to the cooking intensity. Extraction starts automatically as soon as a cooking zone is active and the extraction level depends  on how the hob is used. When the hob is switched off, the extraction continues for 10 minutes and then stops automatically.
In automatic mode, the hob can only switch on speed 1, 2 or 3 for this hood.
Switching on/off the automatic mode on the cooker hood
The key for the automatic mode on the cooker hood only lights up when the hob is active and set to automatic mode.

The hood is switched on and on the hob the automatic mode is active.

1. Shortly touch and release the automatic mode key.
   The automatic mode key iluminates; the automatic mode on your cooker hood is now switched on.

2. Shortly touch and release the automatic mode key.
   The automatic mode key is no longer iluminated; the automatic mode on your cooker hood is switched off.

Activated intensive setting on the hob
If the intensive setting for the hood has been set on the hob, it will automatically switch back to speed 3 after six minutes.

Activated timer function on the hob
If the timer for the hood is set on the hob, the hood will continue to operate at speed 1 (according to the countdown time that is displayed) after switching off the hob until the set time has elapsed.

Lighting
When a connected hob is switched on, the lighting of the cooker hood always switches on automatically. You can continuously adjust the brightness of the hood via the hob.  When you use the hob again (after you have switched the hob off) , the lighting comes on at the preset brightness.
When switching off a connected hob, the lighting of the cooker hood remains on. Manually switch off the lighting with the lighting key on your AutoAir hob or via your hood.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
Important!
For all maintenance first switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home’s master switch. The hood needs to  be cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least in the same frequency as the grease filter cleaning).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
Important!
If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed, this can cause a fire. These instructions should be followed! The manufacturer is  not liable for damage to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from nonadherence to the above safety instructions.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then wash ff with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The cooker hood finish  stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the  direction of the grain.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter saturation indication system, if present on your model), using a neutral cleaning agent,  preferably by hand or in the dishwasher on a short, low-temperature program. Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can  drain out of the filter. Aluminum-colored and black grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.

Grease filters
Remove the filters by pulling on their release handles.
Carbon filters
Use carbon filters when the cooker hood is not connected to an exhaust duct.
The functioning:

• More noise is produced when carbon filters are used than when the cooker hood is used with an exhaust vent.
• Carbon filters function optimally at a lower motor speed. For this reason, avoid the intensive setting.
  1. Remove the grease filter.
  2. Attach the carbon filters to the engine.
  3. Install the grease filter.

The regenerable active carbon filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65 °C. The washing cycle must be done without other dishes  and without dishwasher detergent.
Do not use any cleaning agents!
Remove excess water. Be careful to avoid damaging the filter. Place the filter in the oven to dry for at least 1 hour at a maximum temperature of 80 °C. After up to 3 years (or  if the filtres are damaged), the filters will need to be replaced.
It is important that the grease filters and the regenerable active carbon filters are properly dried before installation.

Lighting

• The cooker hood is fitted with LED lighting.
• LED lamps guarantee you optimum lighting, a service life of up to 10 times longer than conventional lamps and energy savings of as much as 90%.
  This hood is fitted with a light system. This light system has to be replaced by an authorized technician. Do not attempt to replace it by yourself.
  The lamp in this household appliance is only suitable for illumination of this appliance. The lamp is not suitable for household room illumination.
