Welcome

Thank you for choosing KERNAU. This user manual provides important safety information and instructions for the operation and maintenance of your appliance. Please read it carefully before use and keep it for future reference. The operating instructions apply to several models; differences may occur.

Safety Information & Symbols

The following icons are used throughout this manual to indicate important safety information:

Never to do:

• Do not attempt to use the cooker hood without grease filters or if they are excessively greasy.
• Do not install above a cooker with a high-level grill.
• Do not leave frying pans unattended during use, as overheated fats or oils might catch fire.
• Never leave naked flames under the cooker hood.
• If the cooker hood is damaged, do not attempt to use it.
• Do not flambé under the cooker hood.

Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

• Ensure the minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the cooker hood is maintained (at least 65 cm if above a gas appliance).
• The air must not be discharged into a flue used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Always to do:

• Important! Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during installation and maintenance, such as light bulb replacement.
• The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all measurements followed.
• All installation work must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician.
• Dispose of packing material carefully, as it poses a hazard to children.
• Pay attention to sharp edges inside the cooker hood, especially during installation and cleaning.
• Ensure ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees to maintain efficiency.
• Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker.
• When in extraction mode, ensure proper ventilation measures are observed as the hood removes odours but not steam.
• The cooker hood is for domestic use only.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, if supervised or instructed on safe use and hazards. Children must not play with the appliance. User cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.

Warnings:

• Failure to install screws or fixing devices correctly may result in electrical hazards.
• Before accessing terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.
• There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out according to instructions.
• Follow regulations concerning air discharge.
• Do not store items on cooking surfaces (fire hazard).
• Never try to extinguish a fire with water; switch off the appliance and cover the flame with a lid or fire blanket.

Installation (Vent Outside)

Mounting of the V-flap: If the cooker hood does not have an assembled V-flap (1), mount the half-parts to its body. The diagrams show an example; the outlet may vary by model. To mount the V-flap (1):

• Mount two half-parts (2) into the body (6).
• The pin (3) should be oriented upwards.
• The axis (4) should be inserted into holes (5) on the body.
• Repeat for the second half-part.

Installation Height: For best effect, the cooker hood should be placed 65-75 cm above the cooking surface.

Cabinet Hole:

• Drill a hole in the cupboard: 569*265mm for model 60CM, or 821*265mm for model 85CM. Ensure the distance from the hole edge to the cupboard edge is at least 35mm.
• Remove the aluminum filter, then slide the cooker hood into the cupboard. Use a screwdriver to fasten the screws to secure the hood.

Exhaust Pipe Installation:

• Install the expansion pipe on the outlet and lead it outdoors. Reinstall the aluminum filter. Note: the expansion pipe is not included.

WARNING: For safety reasons, use only the same size fixing or mounting screws as recommended in this manual. Failure to do so may result in electrical hazards.

Maintenance and Cleaning

CAUTION: Disconnect the cooker hood from the main power supply before maintenance or cleaning. Ensure it is switched off at the wall socket and unplugged.

External surfaces are susceptible to scratches; follow cleaning instructions carefully.

General: Clean and maintain the appliance when cold. Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (e.g., lemon juice, vinegar) on surfaces.

Stainless Steel: Clean regularly (e.g., weekly) with a clean, soft cloth. A specialized stainless steel cleaner may be used. Wipe along the grain to prevent scratches.

Control Panel Surface: Clean with warm, soapy water using a clean, well-wrung cloth. Use a dry, soft cloth to remove excess moisture. Use neutral detergents; avoid harsh chemicals, strong household detergents, or abrasive products, as they can damage the appearance and void the warranty.

Grease Mesh Filters: Immerse filters in 40-50°C water with detergent for 2-3 minutes, then brush gently. Filters can be washed in a dishwasher at approximately 60°C. Do not use corrosive cleaning agents on metal filters.

NOTE: Ensure power is turned off before cleaning.

Installing Grease Mesh Filters: Angle filter into slots at the back, push the button on the handle, release the handle when fitted, and repeat for all filters.

Carbon Filter (not supplied): Used to trap odors; change every 3-6 months. Installation: Match the hole to the buckle on the blower, turn until it clicks. Replacement: Turn counter-clockwise. NOTE: Ensure the filter is securely locked. Suction power is reduced with an activated carbon filter.
