4. Setup and Installation

The NOVY 876 cooker hood is designed for ceiling integration. Due to the complexity and safety requirements, professional installation is highly recommended.

General Installation Considerations:

1. Ceiling Preparation: Ensure the ceiling structure can support the weight of the cooker hood (approximately 17.4 kg) and that there is sufficient space for the unit and ducting.
2. Ducting System: Connect the cooker hood to an appropriate ducting system that vents to the outside. Ensure the ducting is correctly sized and sealed to maximize extraction efficiency and minimize noise. The hood is designed for ducted operation.
3. Electrical Connection: A dedicated electrical circuit may be required. All electrical connections must comply with local wiring regulations.
4. Minimum Distance: Maintain the minimum required distance between the cooking surface and the cooker hood as specified in local regulations and the detailed installation guide (not provided in this general manual).

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the separate installation manual provided with your appliance or consult a qualified installer.

5. Operating Instructions

The NOVY 876 cooker hood is operated via a control knob, typically located on the unit itself or via a remote control (if included).

Basic Operation:

• Power On/Off: Turn the control knob to activate or deactivate the cooker hood.
• Fan Speed Adjustment: Rotate the control knob to select the desired extraction speed. Higher speeds are suitable for intense cooking, while lower speeds are for lighter cooking or maintaining air quality.
• Lighting Control: If your model includes integrated lighting, the control knob may also be used to switch the lights on or off, or adjust their intensity.

It is recommended to switch on the cooker hood a few minutes before you start cooking and leave it running for a few minutes after you finish to ensure all fumes and odors are effectively removed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of your cooker hood.

Cleaning the Appliance:

• Exterior Surfaces: Clean the glass and stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.
• Grease Filters: The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks depending on usage.
  1. Remove the filters by following the instructions in your detailed product manual.
  2. Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
  3. Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing them.

Failure to clean the grease filters regularly can lead to reduced extraction performance and an increased risk of fire.

7. Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, please check the following common issues:

• Cooker hood does not operate:
  • Check if the appliance is properly plugged into the power outlet.
  • Verify if the circuit breaker has tripped.
  • Ensure the control knob is turned to an active setting.
• Poor extraction performance:
  • Clean the grease filters; they may be clogged.
  • Check for obstructions in the ducting system.
  • Ensure windows and doors are not creating excessive drafts that interfere with airflow.
• Unusual noise:
  • Check if the grease filters are correctly installed.
  • Inspect the fan for any foreign objects.
  • Ensure the ducting is securely fitted and not vibrating.

If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact a qualified service technician.
