INVENTUM AKI6000RVS Built-In Extractor Hood Instruction Manual

Safety instructions

Please read these instructions before operating the appliance and retain for future use.
The appliance is intended solely for domestic use within the home. The appliance is suitable for extraction of air to the outside.
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 backdrafting 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 In combination with an activated cooker hood, air is withdrawn from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms.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 highpressure 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 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 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 (chapter 7).
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 to a duct. Install the cooker hood according to the instructions.

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.

Controls

SWITCHING THE COOKER HOOD ON AND OFF

Press on 0 to turn the motor off.
Press on 1 and the motor runs at the lowest speed.
Press on 2 and the motor runs at the middle speed.
Press on 3 and the motor runs at the highest speed.
Press on to switch the lighting on. Press the same button again to switch to 0 to switch the lighting off.

Switch the lighting on if you need more light on your cooking appliance. It is recommended to operate the appliance a few minutes prior to cooking. Leave the appliance in operation for 5 to 10 minutes after the cooking is finished to remove all the smells from the kitchen.

Cleaning & maintenance

Before performing any maintenance operation, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains 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 competely 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 FILTERS

Switch off the electricity! Remove the plug from the socket. Pull the grease filter towards you and tilt it downwards at the front. Make sure you guide the grease filter with you other hand to prevent the grease filter from falling down on your cooking appliance.

We advise to install the cooker hood with two persons.

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking pans on the cooker and the lowest part of the hood must be:
- 65 cm for an electric, ceramic or induction cooker
- 75 cm for a gas hob
If the cooker hood is to be fitted to an existing duct no other aplliances, such as a geyser or heater, may be connected to that same duct.
The shorter the duct, and the fewer the bends in it, the better the cooker hood will work.
The connection pipe for the cooker hood has a diameter of 120 mm.

INSTALLING THE COOKER HOOD TO A DUCT

Remove the grease filters.
Hold the cooker hood in position on a minimum height of 65 cm above the cooker and mark the bottom of the cooker hood on the wall/side panel. Define the middle of the cooker and mark this point at the height of the cooker hood to center it above the cooker.
Connect the coupling ring for the exhaust-air pipe to the cooker hood. Press it on the exhaust opening and turn to fasten.
Mark the position for the exhaust-air pipe. Limit the number of bends and length of the exhaust-air pipe. The cooker hood will function better. Saw the holes for the exhaust. The exhaust opening has a diameter of 120 mm. The hole for the exhaust must be 10 mm wider than the exhaust pipe itself (130 mm).
Fit the exhaust pipe at the top of the exhaust outlet and let it hang down.
Decide in which way you want to mount the cooker hood – 5a or 5b.
The cooker hood can be mounted to the cabinet with screws through the holes in the side of the housing.
The cooker hood can be mounted to the cabinet with screws through the holes at the top of the housing. Remove the cooker hood and drill the holes. Use a Ø3 mm drill. Drill the holes till a depth of 5 mm .
Fit the cooker hood inside the cabinet. When the acces to the exhaust is blocked, fit the exhaust pipe to the cooker hood before placing the cooker hood inside the cabinet.
Attach the cooker hood to the cabinet with the screws.

Place the grease filters back.

Remove all the protective film before using the cooker hood.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION

Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the rating plate. Plug the appliance in. The cooker hood is provided with a plug. Make sure the plug remains accessible. Place the socket, if necessary, out of sight behind the exhaust-air pipe.
