Jump to the sectionProduct Overview
The Stoves 100cm chimney cooker hood is a high-performance appliance designed to effectively remove cooking vapors and odors from your kitchen. This manual provides detailed instructions for both ducted extraction and recirculation modes, ensuring optimal performance and safety during installation.
Safety and Preparation
Before beginning the installation, it is essential to read the safety information provided in the main user manual. Ensure that the installation area is clear and that you have all necessary tools. The hood must be installed at a minimum distance of 65 cm from the cooking surface to ensure safety and efficiency. Always wear protective gloves during the installation process to prevent injury from sharp edges.
Installation Modes
The cooker hood can be configured in two ways:
- Extraction Mode: Vapors are vented outside through a ducting pipe. This requires a 120mm or 150mm diameter pipe.
- Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered through charcoal filters and returned to the kitchen. This requires the installation of charcoal filters and an air deflector.
Mounting Procedure
The installation involves securing the mounting brackets to the wall, aligning the hood with the center of the cooking surface, and attaching the chimney sections. Use the provided screws and wall plugs to ensure a stable fit. The telescopic chimney sections allow for height adjustment to suit your kitchen layout. Ensure that all electrical connections are made according to local regulations and that the unit is securely fastened to the wall.
Maintenance and Filters
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your cooker hood. The grease filters should be cleaned periodically to prevent buildup. If using the hood in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters must be replaced regularly to maintain effective odor removal. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance tasks or replacing filters.
