Installation and connection**
In the event of problems, contact the Authorized Service Centre. To prevent any damage, only remove the appliance from its packaging at the time of installation.
Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the hood should only
be lifted and installed by two or more people. The minimum distance between
the hob and the bottom part of the hood must not be less than 65 cm for
burning gas or other fuels and 50cm for electric cookers. Before installation
also check the minimum distances stated in the manual of the cooker. If the
installation instructions for the cooker specify a greater distance between
cooker and hood, this distance must be observed.
Electrical connection
Make sure the power voltage specified on the appliance rating plate is the
same as the mains voltage. This information can be found on the inside of the
hood, under the grease filter. Power cable replacement (type H05 VV-F) must be
carried out by a qualified electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.
If the hood is fitted with an electric plug, connect the plug to a socket
complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place.
WARNING: if no plug is fitted (direct wiring to the mains), or if the
socket is not located in an accessible place, a qualified electrician should
install a standardised double pole power switch that will enable complete
isolation from the mains in case of category III overvoltage conditions, in
accordance with wiring rules.
Use
The hood has been designed to be installed and used either as a “Extraction installation”, or as a “Recirculation installation”.
Extraction installation (see symbol in installation booklet)
Cooking steam is sucked and channelled outside the house through a discharge
duct (not supplied), fitted to the hood steam outlet. Ensure that the
discharge duct is correctly fitted to the air outlet, unit using an
appropriate connection system.
Important: If already installed, remove the charcoal filter/s.
Recirculation installation
(see symbol in installation booklet)
The air is filtered through one or more the charcoal filters, and then resent
into room.
Important: Ensure appropriate air circulation around the hood.
Important: If the hood is supplied without charcoal filters, these must
be fitted before the hood can be used. Filters are available in IKEA shops.
The hood should be installed away from particularly dirty areas, windows,
doors and heat sources.
The accessories for wall fixing are not included because walls made of
different materials require different types of fixing accessories. Use fixing
systems suitable for the walls of your home and the weight of the appliance.
For more details, contact a specialized dealer. Keep this booklet for future
consultation.

Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING:
– Never use steam cleaning equipment.
– Disconnect the hood from the electric power supply.
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products accidentally comes into contact with the appliance, clean immediately with a damp cloth.
- Clean the surfaces with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth.
IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scouters. Over time, these can ruin the surface.
- Use detergents specifically designed for cleaning the appliance and follow the manufacturer instructions.
IMPORTANT: clean the grease filters at least monthly to remove any oil or grease residuals.
To clean the grease filter
The metal grease filter has an unlimited life and must be washed once a month
by hand or dishwasher at low temperature and with a short cycle. With cleaning
in a dishwasher the grease filter may become dull; this does not effect its
filtering capacity.
Grease filter maintenance:
- Disconnect the hood from the electric power supply.
- Remove the grease filters: pull the spring release handle downwards, then remove the filter.
- After cleaning the grease filter, remount in reverse order ensuring the entire extraction surface is covered.
Charcoal filter maintenance (if the hood is installed in recirculation mode)
- Pull out the plug or disconnect the power supply.
- Remove the grease filter
- If the carbon filters are already fitted (two filters that cover the protective grilles for the motor impeller) and have to be replaced, turn the central handle anti-clockwise to unlock them.
- Open the two filter shells
- Pull out the two circular mats
- Proceed in reverse order to fit the new filters.
- Refit the grease filters.
Unlike traditional charcoal filters, this charcoal filter can be washed and reactivated.
With normal hood use, the filter should be cleaned once a month. The best way to clean the filter is in a dishwasher at the highest temperature possible, using a normal dishwasher detergent. To avoid particles of food or dirt settling on the filter during washing and giving rise to unpleasant smells, it is advisable to wash the filter on its own. After washing, dry the filter in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes to reactivate it. The filter will retain its odour absorbing capacity for three years, after which it will have to be replaced.
Lamp maintenance The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED
technology. The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times
as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.
For replacement, contact the Authorized Service Centre.
