4. Installation

The CIARRA CBCS6102 range hood can be installed in two configurations: ducted (extraction) or recirculation.

4.1 Dimensions and Mounting Height

Refer to the diagram below for product dimensions and recommended mounting heights. The hood should be installed at a minimum distance of 65cm above an electric hob and 75cm above a gas hob.

4.2 Ducted (Extraction) Mode

In ducted mode, cooking fumes and odors are extracted from the kitchen and expelled outside through an exhaust duct. Ensure the duct is properly sealed and leads to an external vent.

4.3 Recirculation Mode

For recirculation mode, the air is filtered through carbon filters (CBCF003) to remove odors and then returned to the kitchen. The carbon filters are included with your unit. No external ducting is required for this mode.

A visual explanation of the two operating modes: 'Mode d'Évacuation' (Ducted Mode) where air is expelled outside via an exhaust pipe, and 'Mode de Recyclage' (Recirculation Mode) where air is filtered through CBCF003 carbon filters and returned to the kitchen.

5. Operation

5.2 Fan Speed Settings

The range hood offers 4 fan speed settings, including a Boost function for rapid extraction of strong odors and steam. Select the appropriate speed based on your cooking needs.

5.3 Dimmable LED Lighting

The integrated LED lights provide illumination for your cooking area. They are dimmable, allowing you to adjust the brightness for energy saving or maximum visibility.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.

6.1 Cleaning Grease Filters

The aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency. They can be washed by hand with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.

6.2 Replacing Carbon Filters (Recirculation Mode Only)

If using the range hood in recirculation mode, the CBCF003 carbon filters need to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Refer to the installation guide for specific instructions on how to access and replace these filters.

6.3 Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior surfaces of the range hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning pads.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your range hood.

• No Power: Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Low Suction: Ensure grease filters are clean and carbon filters (if applicable) are not saturated. Verify that the exhaust duct is not obstructed.
• Excessive Noise: Check for loose components or improper installation of the ducting.
• Lights Not Working: Check if the LED lights are properly connected. If individual LEDs are faulty, they may require professional replacement.
