3. Installation Instructions

Before beginning installation, ensure your extractor hood is switched off and disconnected from the power supply to prevent electrical hazards.

1. Access the Filter Compartment: Open the grease filter grilles or remove the metal grease filters from your extractor hood. Refer to your hood's specific user manual for exact instructions on accessing the filter compartment.
2. Remove Old Filters: If old carbon filters are present, carefully unclip or detach them from their housing. Dispose of used filters responsibly.
3. Insert New Filters: Position the new De Dietrich 74X9552 carbon filters into the designated slots or frames. Ensure they are securely clipped or locked into place. The filters are typically installed in pairs.

Important: Always ensure the filters are correctly seated to prevent them from falling during operation and to ensure effective air purification.

4. Operating the Extractor Hood with Carbon Filters

Once the carbon filters are installed, operate your extractor hood as usual. The active carbon within the filters will absorb cooking odors and purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. No special operating procedures are required beyond the standard use of your extractor hood.

5. Maintenance

Active carbon filters cannot be washed or regenerated. Their effectiveness diminishes over time as they become saturated with absorbed odors and particles.

Filter Replacement:

• It is recommended to replace the carbon filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of cooking.
• If you notice a decrease in odor absorption or an increase in cooking smells in your kitchen, it is likely time to replace the filters.
• Always replace both filters simultaneously for consistent performance.

Disposal:

Used carbon filters should be disposed of according to local waste disposal regulations. They are generally considered household waste.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem: Extractor hood is not effectively removing odors.

• Solution 1: Check the age of your carbon filters. If they are older than 3-6 months or if cooking is frequent, they may be saturated and require replacement.
• Solution 2: Ensure the carbon filters are correctly installed and securely seated in their compartments.
• Solution 3: Verify that the metal grease filters are clean. Clogged grease filters can reduce airflow and the overall effectiveness of the hood. Clean or replace them as needed.
• Solution 4: Confirm that your extractor hood is set to recirculation mode if it has both extraction and recirculation options.

If problems persist after checking these points, consult the user manual for your specific De Dietrich extractor hood model or contact customer support.
