Operating Instructions

The Smeg KSEIR62SE2 cooker hood is operated via a slider control panel.

Fan Speed Control:

The hood features 3 fan speeds to adjust extraction power according to cooking needs.

1. Speed I (Low): Suitable for light cooking, simmering, or when minimal extraction is required. Airflow: 115 m³/h. Noise Level: 52 dB(A).
2. Speed II (Medium): For general cooking, such as boiling or frying. Airflow: 160 m³/h. Noise Level: 59 dB(A).
3. Speed III (High): Use for intense cooking, heavy frying, or when strong odors are present. Airflow: 225 m³/h. Noise Level: 68 dB(A).

Adjust the slider control to select the desired fan speed.

Lighting:

The hood is equipped with two 4W LED lights to illuminate the cooking area. Use the dedicated switch or control on the panel to turn the lights on or off.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cooker hood. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

Cleaning the Grease Filter:

The hood includes an integrated metal grease filter. This filter should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain extraction efficiency.

• To remove the filter, locate the release catches and carefully detach it.
• Clean the filter by hand using hot water and a mild detergent, or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing it.

Note: If using the hood in recirculation mode, charcoal filters (not included) will also require periodic replacement. Refer to the charcoal filter manufacturer's instructions for replacement frequency.

Cleaning the Exterior:

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Replacing LED Lights:

LED lights have a long lifespan. If replacement is necessary, consult a qualified technician or refer to specific instructions for light replacement, ensuring the power is disconnected first.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting customer service, review the following common issues and solutions:

• Hood not turning on:
  • Check if the appliance is properly plugged into a power outlet.
  • Verify the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Poor extraction performance:
  • Ensure the grease filters are clean and not clogged.
  • Check for obstructions in the ducting system (if applicable).
  • Confirm the correct fan speed is selected for the cooking task.
  • If using recirculation mode, check if charcoal filters need replacement.
• Excessive noise:
  • Ensure the hood is securely mounted and all components are properly installed.
  • Check for loose parts or obstructions in the fan.
  • Noise levels increase with higher fan speeds; this is normal.
• Lights not working:
  • Check if the light switch is in the "on" position.
  • If individual LEDs are out, they may require replacement by a qualified technician.

If the problem persists after checking these points, contact Smeg customer support or a qualified service technician.
