Smeg KFAB75 - Decorative Wall Hood 75 cm Manual

USE

• This appliance was designed to be used as an EXTRACTION (extraction of air to the outside) or FILTER hood (recirculation of air indoors).
• EXTRACTION VERSION: To turn the hood into the extraction version connect the motor inlet, by means of a rigid or flexible pipe with a suitable internal diameter and no less than 120 mm, directly to the external vapour and odour extraction duct.
  NB. Remove any active carbon odour-control filters.
• FILTER VERSION: If it is not possible to direct the air outdoors, the hood can be transformed into the filter version. In this version, the air and vapours are purified by active carbon filters and recirculated into the room through the lateral ventilation grilles of the flue.

Models:
KFAB75BL-KFAB75CR-KFAB75RD-KFAB75WH

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The hood is supplied with all the accessories necessary for its installation. The minimum distance between the lower surface of the hood and the hob must be at least 750 mm for gas hobs and 650mm for electric hobs. If the motor inlet is equipped with a non-return valve for fumes, make sure it can open and close freely.

For easy installation it is recommended to follow the procedures described below:

1. The hood must be centred with respect to the hob surface.
2. There are different installation procedures depending on the hood model. Choose one of the following fixing systems (Fig.2):
   
   1. 2 levelling hooks that fasten on with the supplied expansion plugs
   2. Rear levelling bracket that fastens on with the supplied expansion plugs
   3. Levelling anchors on motor box that fasten on with the supplied expansion plugs
   4. For island models refer to the special installation attachment.

N.B.: Fixing systems a) and b) fit on to the back of the hood in the holes L1.

3. Remove the grease filters and position the hood on the wall and mark the reference position for the holes to anchor the relative fixing system.
4. Drill the 2 holes previously marked after removing the hood from the wall
5. Anchor the fixing system to the wall by tightening the expansion plug
6. Mark holes L2 on the wall to secure the plugs safely in the holes. (plugs supplied)
7. Hang the hood on the fixing system (fig. 2) and level it using the adjustment screws ( fig.2 ).
8. Securely fix the hood by fully tightening the two expansion screws of the holes L2

AIR CONNECTION SYSTEMS

EXTRACTION version: Connect the fume expulsion duct (inside diameter 150 mm.) to the exhaust of the motor inlet. If the expulsion duct is D.120mm, use the special reduction flange (F) supplied. The expulsion duct must not have a diameter of less than 120 mm.
Note that if the hood is supplied with an active carbon filter, this must be removed

FILTER version:
Leave the motor inlet free. Install the active carbon filters.
If the hood is not supplied with an active carbon filter you must buy it separately at your nearest authorised Smeg dealer.
For some models there is a standard set of fittings to be fixed to the wall by expansion plugs at a suitable height in order to channel the airflow in correspondence with the flue slits. Insert laterally the extensions R2 on the fitting R1. Connect the fitting R1 at the outlet of the hood body by means of a tube of diameter D.150mm.

FLUE ASSEMBLY

Position the flue bracket (K) to the required top limit. Mark the two holes on the wall to fix the bracket. Drill and fix the bracket with the supplied expansion plugs. Carefully position the flue unit on the hood. Fix the lower flue to the hood by means of the screws Z. Carefully extend the top flue to the upper limit. Secure the top flue to the flue bracket K using the screws L.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION

We recommend that electric connections are carried out by a professional installer.
In the case of a direct electric connection to the mains, between the appliance and the mains, place a bipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, sized to the load and compliant with the current regulations.

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

• TIMED AUTO POWER OFF: By pressing one of the motor speed keys (2-3), twice, you will activate the function "Timed Auto Power Off" which turns off both lights and hood motor after 10 mins. Activating this function is demonstrated by the LED immediately above the pressed button flashing.
• FILTER CLEANING SIGNAL: the simultaneous flashing of the 4 LEDs, (programmed to run every 200h of operation), is to indicate the need to clean /replace the filters.

By pressing the Reset button , the 200h time can be reset. N.B. Accidentally pressing the reset button before the 200h operation cycle does not result in the filter being reset in the filter cleaning memory. It is good practice to clean the grease filters and replace the active carbon filters every 200h of operation.

FUNCTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance and/or cleaning always disconnect the hood from the power supply
Regular cleaning guarantees good operation and a long appliance service life. The grease filters and filter hoods with carbon filters require special care.

N.B. The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as affecting the performance of the extractor, can also create a fire hazard.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

The external and internal cleaning of the hood must be carried out using a damp cloth and mild liquid detergent. Completely avoid the use of solvents or abrasives. It is recommended to use specific products, following the instructions on the product. It is advisable to clean the hood by always rubbing the steel in the direction of the surface finish.

METAL FILTER CLEANING

Particular attention should be paid to the metal grease filter panels. The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as affecting the performance of the extractor, can also create a fire hazard.

In order to minimise the risk of fire, the filters must be cleaned regularly, at least once a month or with greater frequency in the case of a particularly intensive use of the appliance.
After identifying your hood model, remove one filter at a time as shown in the next figure. Thoroughly wash filters with a mild detergent either by hand or in the dishwasher. Replace the filters, making sure that the handle is on the outside of the hood

REPLACING CARBON FILTERS

(Only for the filter version)

The carbon filters are capable of retaining odours until the carbon reaches saturation level. They cannot be washed and they are not renewable, therefore, it is recommended to replace them at least every six months or more often if the hood is used often.

Before starting operations make sure the electrical power supply to the hood is disconnected.

Access the active carbon filters by removing the metal filters as described above. With the help of the figures, identify the carbon filters kit supplied with the hood.

In the case of the disc filter, simply tilt the two filters by 90° and then extract them from their housing.

In the case of a cartridge filter attached with springs, exert the pressure required to counteract the resistance of the spring and then remove the filter

In the case of a cartridge filter blocked with a bracket and threaded knob, unscrew the knob, remove the locking bracket and then remove the active carbon filter. Replace the carbon filters and the metal non-grease filters by performing the operations in inverse order

Note: only the electronically-controlled hood can the filter cleaning warning function be reset by pressing the specific filter reset button

REPLACEMENT LAMPS

Before performing any maintenance and/or cleaning always disconnect the hood from the power supply
Depending on the model, the hood can be equipped with different types of lighting, with LED or halogen lamps:

1. WITH LED LIGHTS: The LED lights guarantee a significant number of hours of operation. Should it be replace due to being worn or faulty, the entire spotlight must be replaced. In this case, contact qualified Technical Support. This appliance is equipped with Class 1M white LED light, in accordance with EN standard 60825-1: 1994 + A1:2002 + A2:2001; maximum emitted optical power@439nm: 7μW.
   Do not look directly at the light with optical instruments (binoculars, magnifying glass...).
   
2. Halogen: lamp with G4 fitting, 20W power and 12V voltage. Replace the lamp by removing the glass support ring of the spotlight with a screwdriver. Once the glass is removed, remove the faulty lamp from its housing and fit the new lamp. Replace the glass of the spotlight by blocking it with the ring.
