Smeg KBTI9L4VN Island Cooker Hood - User Manual

Safety Instructions

Closely follow all instructions provided in this manual. The manufacturer is not responsible for any faults, damage, or fires caused by failure to observe these instructions. The hood is designed for extracting cooking fumes and vapours for domestic use only.

This manual should be kept for future reference. If the appliance is sold or moved, ensure it stays with the product.

Read the instructions carefully as they contain important information regarding installation, use, and safety.

Do not make any electrical or mechanical modifications to the product or extraction ducts.

Before installation, check that all components are undamaged. If any component is damaged, contact your dealer and do not proceed with installation.

Items marked with "(*)" are optional accessories that may need to be purchased separately.

Caution: Do not connect the appliance to the mains power supply until installation is complete. Before cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the hood from the mains power supply by removing the plug or switching off the main circuit breaker. Always wear work gloves during installation and maintenance.

The appliance is not intended for use by children or individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capacity, or those lacking experience or knowledge, unless supervised or trained by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

Do not use the hood if the grid is not mounted correctly. The hood should never be used as a support surface unless specifically indicated. The room where the hood is installed must be adequately ventilated when used with other appliances powered by gas or other fuels. Extracted air must not be conveyed into a duct used for appliances powered by gas or other fuels. Do not flambé foods under the hood. Open flames can damage filters and cause fires, and must be avoided.

Frying should be done with care to prevent oil from overheating and catching fire. Accessible parts of the hood may become hot when the hob is in use. Comply with local authority regulations for fume discharge.

The hood should be cleaned regularly, both internally and externally, at least once a month. Failure to follow cleaning and filter replacement instructions can lead to fire risk. Do not use or leave the hood without lamps correctly installed, as there is a risk of electric shock.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for faults, damage, or fires caused by failure to observe instructions. This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Recommendations for Use

To reduce environmental impact: Start cooking by switching the hood on at minimum speed and leave it on for a few minutes after finishing. Increase speed only if there is a large amount of steam and fumes. Use the booster function only when necessary. Replace carbon filters regularly for optimal odour reduction. Clean the grease filter regularly for efficient operation. To optimize efficiency and reduce noise, use a duct of the maximum diameter indicated and ensure it has as few bends as possible (maximum angle: 90°). Avoid drastic changes in duct cross-section and use ducts that are as smooth as possible inside, made of certified material.

Installation

Ducting Version: This version conveys fumes outside via an extraction duct connected to the flange. The duct diameter must match the connecting ring. The duct is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

In the horizontal section, the extraction duct should have a slight upwards inclination (about 10°) for easier air conveyance. If the hood has activated carbon filters, they should be removed. Connect the hood to extraction ducts and wall outlets with the same diameter as the air outlet. Using smaller diameter ducts will reduce suction and increase noise.

Filter Version: Air is degreased and deodorised before returning to the room. This version requires an additional activated carbon filtration system. Models without a suction motor operate only in ducting mode and require connection to an external suction device (not supplied).

The minimum distance between hob pan supports and the hood's lowest part must be at least 50cm for electric hobs and 65cm for gas or mixed fuel hobs. Comply with any greater distance specified in gas hob installation instructions.

Electrical Connection: Mains power supply voltage must match the rating plate. If supplied with a plug, connect to a compliant, accessible socket. If not fitted with a plug, use a compliant two-pole switch for complete mains disconnection under over-current category III conditions, as per installation regulations.

WARNING: Ensure the mains power cable is installed correctly before reconnecting the hood and verifying its operation. The hood is provided with a special power cable; if damaged, request a replacement from technical support.

Mounting:

Ensure the product is suitable for the installation area.
Remove activated carbon filters if supplied (they can be reinstalled for filter version use).
Remove any items (e.g., screws, guarantees) inside the hood that were included for transport purposes.
Disconnect and move any units below and around the installation area for better access. Protect furniture and parts involved in installation.
Select a flat surface and cover it with a protective cover.
Ensure an accessible electric socket is available in the installation area.
Carry out necessary masonry work (e.g., installing an electrical socket, creating a hole for the duct).

The hood is supplied with expansion plugs for most walls/ceilings. A qualified technician should verify material suitability. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to support the hood's weight.

Control Panel

The hood features a 9-button capacitive control panel:

OFF/ON / Stand-by: Touch to turn the hood ON/OFF or put it in Stand-by mode. The icon lights dimly when OFF.
Fan Speed (1, 2, 3): Touch to select or modify fan speed. Pressing again disables the function.
Boost Function: Touch to set the extraction fan to maximum speed for 7 minutes, after which it reverts to speed 3. The icon flashes while active.
Light On/Off/Adjustment: Briefly touch to turn the light on/off. Press and hold for over 1 second to adjust brightness continuously. The selected brightness is saved. Double-tapping quickly when the light is off sets it to maximum brightness.
“Tunable White” function: Touch the F and symbols simultaneously to set light colour temperature, adjustable from cold to warm. The selection is saved.
24h FUNCTION: Allows air changes by activating the fan at speed 1 for 10 minutes every hour. The icon lights up when active. It deactivates automatically after 24 hours or can be disabled by touching the icon again.
Delayed Switch Off Function: Automatic switch-off can be delayed by 10 minutes at any speed, except BOOST mode. The icon lights up more brightly when active. Touch again to disable.
Clean Filter Indicator (F): After 100 hours of operation, the F symbol lights up, indicating filters need cleaning/replacement. Touch the F symbol for 3 seconds to reset.
AUTO-VENT 2.0 FUNCTION (Connection to a SMEG enabled hob): This function allows the hood to operate automatically in response to commands from a connected SMEG hob. The connection is unidirectional (hob to hood). When the hood is in Stand-by, buttons 1, 2, 3 flash every 5 seconds to indicate automatic function is active. The hood adjusts fan speed based on hob operation. Refer to the hob's manual for details. Switching off the hob returns the hood to Stand-by with the automatic function active. Touching any control during automatic operation disables the function; restart by switching the hood off and on again.

Maintenance

WARNING: Before cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the hood from the mains power supply.

Cleaning: Clean the hood regularly, both internally and externally, at least as often as the grease filters are serviced. Use a cleaning cloth with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products or alcohol. Failure to follow cleaning and filter replacement instructions can lead to fire risk.

Grease filter: Retains grease particles. Clean at least once a month or when the filter saturation indicator (if present) signals. Use a non-aggressive detergent, by hand or in a dishwasher (short cycle, low temperature). Dishwasher washing may change the filter's colour but not its performance. Pull the spring release handle to remove the grease filter.

Lamp Replacement: The hood uses an LED lighting system, offering optimum lighting, longer lifespan (up to 10 times traditional lamps), and energy savings up to 90%. For replacement, contact technical support service.
