ALPHA
GROUPE ASPIRANT

Thank you for buying a ROBLIN product which has been manufactured to the highest quality standards to meet your requirements.
We recommend you carefully read this booklet in which you will find instructions for installation, hints for use and maintenance.
The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

ELECTRICAL

This cooker hood is fitted with a 3-core mains cable with a standard 10/16A earthed plug.
Alternatively the hood can be connected to the mains supply via a double-pole switch having 3mm
minimum contact gap on each pole.
Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate inside the cooker hood.
Technical Specification: Voltage 220-240 V, single phase ~ 50 Hz / 220 V – 60Hz.

INSTALLATION ADVICE

Ensure the cooker hood is fitted in compliance with the recommended fixing heights.
It is a possible fire risk if the hood is not sited as recommended.
To ensure the best results, the cooking fumes should be able to rise naturally towards the inlet grilles on the underside of the cooker hood and the cooker hood should be positioned away from doors and windows, which will create turbulence.
Ducting
If the room where the hood is to be used contains a fuel-burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the room. Ensure the kitchen is fitted with an airbrick, which should have a cross-sectional measurement equivalent to the diameter of the ducting being fitted, if not larger.
The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be connected to any existing ventilation system, which is being used for any other purposes or to a mechanically controlled ventilation ducting.
The ducting used must be made from fire retardant materials and the correct diameter must be used, as incorrect sized ducting will affect the performance of this cooker hood.
When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with other appliances supplied with energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent the fumes from combustion being drawn back into the room.
The appliance is for domestic use only and should not be operated by children or people who are infirm without supervision.
This appliance must be positioned so that the wall socket is accessible.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

FITTING

Any permanent electrical installation must comply with the latest regulations concerning this type of installation and a qualified electrician must carry out the work. Non-compliance could cause serious accidents or injury and would deem the manufacturers guarantee null and void.

IMPORTANT – The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :
green / yellow : earth blue : neutral brown : live

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

ATTENTION: Do not forget to use adequate plugs to the support brackets. Enquire after the manufacturers. Do an embedding if necessary. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in case of a faulty hanging due to the drilling and the setting up of plugs.

The extractor unit is fitted into the base board of the cooker hood (thickness: 12 to 22 mm). (Fig 1) Connect the electrical plug and set the extractor tube in place. Fit the appliance into the cutout and fix it with the 4 screws supplied.

The hood is more effective when used in the extraction mode (ducted to the outside). When the cooker hood is ducted to the outside, charcoal filters are not required. The ducting used must be 150 mm (6 INS), rigid circular pipe and must be manufactured from fire retardant material, produced to BS.476 or DIN 4102-B1. Wherever possible use rigid circular pipe which has a smooth interior, rather than the expanding
concertina type ducting.

Maximum length of ducting run:

4 metres with 1 x 90° bend.
3 metres with 2 x 90° bends.
2 metres with 3 x 90° bends.

The above assumes our 150 mm (6 INS) ducting is being installed. Please note ducting components and ducting kits are optional accessories and have to be ordered, they are not automatically supplied with the chimney hood.

RECYCLING : The air is recirculated into the kitchen through the opening located on the upper side of
the cabinet or of the hood (Fig. 2). Install the charcoal filters inside the canopy (Fig 3).

USEFUL HINTS

To obtain the best performance we recommend you to switch ‘ON’ the cooker hood a few minutes (in the boost setting) before you start cooking and you should leave it running for approximately 15 minutes after finishing.
IMPORTANT: NEVER DO FLAMBÉ COOKING UNDER THIS COOKER HOOD
Do not leave frying pans unattended during use as over-heated fat and oil might catch fire.
Do not leave naked flames under this cooker hood.
Switch ‘OFF’ the electric and gas before removing pots and pans.
Ensure heating areas on your hotplate are covered with pots and pans when using the hotplate and cooker hood simultaneously.

MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean; a build up of fat or grease may cause a fire hazard.

Casing

Wipe the cooker hood frequently with a clean cloth, which has been immersed in warm water containing a mild detergent and wrung out.
Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the cooker hood.

Metal Grease Filters : The metal grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking in order to keep
clean the cooker hood inside. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month or more frequently if
the hood is used for more than 3 hours per day.

To remove and replace the metal grease filters

Remove the metal grease filters one at a time by releasing the catches on the filters; the filters can
now be removed.
The metal grease filters should be washed, by hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Allow to dry before replacing.

Active Charcoal Filter : The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. The filter should be replaced at least every three months or more frequently if the hood is used for more than three hours per day.

To remove and replace the filter

Remove the metal grease filters.
Press against the two retaining clips, which hold the charcoal filter in place and this will allow the filter to drop down and be removed.
Clean the surrounding area and metal grease filters as directed above.
Insert the replacement filter and ensure the two retaining clips are correctly located.
Replace the metal grease filters.

Extraction tube : Check every 6 months that the dirty air is being extracted correctly. Comply with local rules and regulations with regard to the extraction of ventilated air.

Lighting : If the lamp fails to function check to ensure it is fitted correctly into the holder. If lamp failure
has occurred then it should be replaced with identical replacement.

Do not replace with any other type of lamp and do not fit a lamp with a higher rating.
