Setup and Installation
The Cecotec Bolero Flux TLM 606500 is designed for cabinet mounting. Due to the nature of kitchen appliance installation, it is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper functioning, safety, and compliance with local regulations. The included mounting kit contains necessary hardware for installation.
General Installation Guidelines:
- Preparation: Ensure the cabinet opening matches the hood's dimensions (59.5 cm width). Verify that the electrical supply is accessible and meets the appliance's requirements.
- Mounting: Securely attach the hood to the cabinet using the provided mounting kit. Follow the specific instructions in the detailed user manual for precise measurements and fastening techniques.
- Ducting: Connect the exhaust outlet to appropriate ducting for external ventilation. If recirculating mode is used, ensure carbon filters are installed and no external ducting is required.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the hood to the main power supply. This step should only be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Final Checks: After installation, test all functions (suction levels, lighting) to ensure correct operation.
Operating Instructions
The Cecotec Bolero Flux TLM 606500 features mechanical controls for easy operation.
Telescopic Function:
To activate the hood, gently pull the telescopic front panel outwards. This action will automatically turn on the hood and the LED lighting. To turn off, push the panel back into its retracted position.
Suction Power Levels:
The hood offers 2 power levels. Use the mechanical controls (buttons or sliders, depending on the specific model variant) located on the front panel to select the desired suction intensity. Higher levels are suitable for intense cooking with strong odors or steam.
LED Lighting:
The integrated LED lighting provides illumination for your cooking area. The lighting typically activates automatically when the telescopic panel is extended. Some models may have a separate switch for the light.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your extractor hood.
Cleaning the Aluminum Grease Filters:
The aluminum grease filters capture airborne grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
- Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
- Remove the filters by releasing their locking mechanisms.
- Wash the filters by hand in hot water with a mild detergent, or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Allow the filters to dry completely before re-installing them.
Replacing the Carbon Filters (if applicable):
If your hood operates in recirculation mode, it uses carbon filters (Ø176) to remove odors. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, or more frequently with heavy use.
- Disconnect the hood from the power supply.
- Remove the aluminum grease filters to access the carbon filters.
- Remove the old carbon filters (they usually twist or clip into place).
- Install new carbon filters, ensuring they are securely fitted.
- Re-install the aluminum grease filters.
Cleaning the Exterior:
Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the surface.
