INVENTUM AKC9000RVS Chimney Hood

safety instructions

Please read these instructions before operating the appliance and retain it for future use.

• The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within the home. The appliance is suitable for the extraction of air to the outside or for recirculation.

• Before plugging into a socket, check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance.

• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, as well by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless supervised.

• Life-threatening: danger of poisoning through back-drafting of combustion gasses!

• Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that consumes air from the room, unless the room is sufficiently ventilated. Cooking appliances that consume air in the room (such as equipment that heats using gas, oil, wood or coal, geysers, hot water appliances) draw the combustion air out
  of the room and carry these gasses outside via the outlet (eg. chimney). In combination with an activated cooker hood, the air is withdrawn from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates negative pressure if there is insufficient air supply. Poisonous gasses from the chimney or outlet channel are then back drafted into the living area. Always provide adequate ventilation!

• The maximum permitted negative pressure is 4 Pa.

• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

• In relation with electrical safety, the appliance shall not be cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.

• Warning: Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is switched off before replacing the lighting or cleaning the appliance.

• Do not use the cooker hood if the grease filter has not been fitted properly!

• Do not lean against the cooker hood.

• Never use the cooker hood as a working surface unless this is indicated explicitly.

• If the cooker hood is used in combination with a gas hob ensure sufficient ventilation.

• The outlet should not be connected to a flue duct used by other appliances.

• Never flambé under a cooker hood and clean the filters on time. To prevent hot fat from catching fire you should only deep-fry under continuous supervision.

• The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly both on the outside as well
  as the inside (at least 1 x a month). Insufficient cleaning or a delay in the replacement of filters can cause a fire hazard.

• The grease filters can become hot during use. After cooking wait at least 30 minutes before cleaning.

• Please note! Intensive use can lead to condensation on the cooker hood. Condensation is simple to remove with a dry cloth.

• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Remain in the cooking area when preparing meals.

• Fire danger! There is a risk of fire if the instructions for cleaning or replacing grease filters and/or carbon filters are not followed.

• Fire danger! through grease deposits in the metal grease filter. Never work with open flame under the appliance (eg. flambéing). Always use the appliance with the metal grease filter. Clean the grease filter regularly.

• Fire danger! through overheated fat or oil. Never extinguish a fire with water; always use a fire blanket, lid, or plate.

• The appliance may have sharp edges; please be careful during cleaning.

before the first use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging material. Keep the material (plastic, polystyrene and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. This appliance should be installed and connected to the power supply by a recognized fitter who is familiar with, and works according to the correct safety regulations. How to install the appliance, is instructed in the installation instructions. The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must correspond with the details on the rating label of the appliance.

EXTRACTION SYSTEM
This cooker hood can be connected in two ways: to a duct or as a recirculation hood. Install the cooker hood according to the instructions depending on your choice.

• VENT OUTSIDE – to a duct, the cooking vapours extracted by suction are carried outside, once the grease particles have been filtered. This is the best method.
• RECIRCULATE – as a recirculation hood, the grease particles and the smell in the extracted vapours are filtered. The air that has been sucked in is not carried outside but recirculates in the kitchen. In this case you must have a carbon filter fitted.

Attention! The carbon filters are not included. You need to order these separately. Order the accessories at your supplier or at the Inventum spare parts webshop.

cleaning & maintenance

Before performing any maintenance operation, disconnect the cooker hood from the main power supply. Ensure that it is switched off and pull the plug or remove the connector fuse.

Clean the in-and outside of the cooker hood regularly. Clean the cooker hood with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. If your model is stainless steel, clean it with a stainless steel care product. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents such as powder cleaners or cleaners that contain alcohol. Clean the controls only with a damp cloth.
Attention: failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations can cause fire risks.

GREASE FILTERS

A metal grease filter filters the fat particles in the air. Therefore the filter can get clogged, depending on the use. The metal grease filter does not have to be replaced, but should at least be cleaned once a month. You can clean it either by hand or in the dishwasher on a low temperature. Make sure the grease filters are completely dry before placing them back.

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents: Not cleaning the grease filters on time can cause fire risks. Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher can cause discoloration. This has no effect on the operation

REMOVING THE GREASE FILTER

Switch off the electricity Remove the plug from the socket. Open the bottom part of the cooker hood by pulling it carefully downwards. Pull the grease filter towards you and tilt it downwards at the front. Make sure you guide the grease filter with your other hands to prevent the grease filter from falling down on your cooking appliance.

REPLACING THE CARBON FILTERS

A carbon filter cleans the air and filters the smell that occurs during cooking. A carbon filter can not be washed and reused. In all cases it is necessary to replace the carbon filter at least every four months.

• Open the cooker hood.
• Remove the grease filters.
• Attach the carbon filters to the grease filters.
• Replace the grease filter and close the cooker hood.

REPLACING THE LED LIGHTING
This appliance is equipped with a LED light. It can be used for a long time. In case, the LED light is blown, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid any hazard. Contact the Inventum service department.
