Klarstein TR60WS TR90WS Zugspitze 60|90 Extractor Hood

Safety Instructions

Thank you for purchasing this extractor hood. Before using the extractor hood, please read the manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.

• Assembly and installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person. Before using the extractor hood, ensure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the appliance match your home voltage.
• The manufacturer and sales representative are not liable for damage caused by improper installation and use.
• Children under 8 years of age must not operate this appliance.
• The appliance is not intended for commercial use, but only for use in households and similar environments.
• The extractor hood and its filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain the good condition and functionality of the appliance.
• Before cleaning, switch off the power supply from the main electrical source.
• Clean the extractor hood according to the instructions in this user manual and protect the appliance from danger and fire.
• Do not expose the extractor hood to open fire and flames.
• If the appliance does not function normally, contact the manufacturer or dealer.
• This appliance can be used by children over 8 years of age and persons with reduced physical, sensory, and mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they have been instructed about the appliance, are capable of operating it safely, and understand the dangers associated with its use.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be repaired by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger.
• Adequate ventilation must be ensured in the room when the extractor hood is used simultaneously with a gas stove or other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
• Do not flambé food under the extractor hood. Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances and cookware.

Important Advice Regarding Installation:

• Air must not be discharged into a chimney that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (does not apply to appliances that only recirculate air back into the room).
• Regulations regarding air discharge must be complied with.

Important Warnings Regarding Extraction Mode: ⚠️ Risk of poisoning from fumes extracted by the hood. Never use the appliance in extraction mode with an open combustion appliance unless adequate airflow is ensured.

Open combustion appliances (e.g., gas, oil, wood, or coal heaters, tankless water heaters, other water heaters) draw combustion fumes from the room and vent them outside through the air duct or chimney. In extraction mode, fumes are drawn from the kitchen and adjacent rooms – a vacuum is created in the rooms without sufficient air supply. Toxic gases from the chimney or combustion appliance can thus be drawn back into the living areas.

• Always ensure that an adequate supply of air is guaranteed and that air can circulate.
• The air supply/extraction device alone does not guarantee compliance with the limit value.

Safe operation is only possible if the negative pressure in the room where the appliance is located does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air required for combustion can flow through openings that are not sealable, for example, in doors, windows, in conjunction with an air supply/extractor, or through other technical measures. In any case, consult a qualified chimney sweep who can assess your home's ventilation and suggest appropriate measures for adequate ventilation.

If the hood is used exclusively in recirculation mode, unlimited operation is possible.

Important Note on Dismantling the Appliance:

• Dismantling is the reverse of assembly.
• When dismantling, have a second person assist you to avoid injuries.

Installation

Before Installation:

Connection to the electrical network:

• Electrical connection may only be carried out in accordance with local standards and laws.
• Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the appliance's rating plate. If this is not the case, do not connect the appliance.
• Ensure that the cables do not come into contact with moving parts and are not crushed.
• The appliance must be properly earthed.

Installation Steps:

1. The hood cover should be mounted at a distance of 65-75 cm from the hob surface for the best effect. See Fig. 1.
2. Mount the hook in a suitable place at the required height and ensure the assembly is level. The fixed position of the internal chimney bracket is the location for the chimney.
3. Attach the outer chimney bracket to the outer chimney and ensure that the inner chimney can be freely adjusted in height, as well as the attachment of the extendable duct. Then install the extendable duct and the chimney onto the extractor hood. See Fig. 3.
4. Hang the extractor hood onto the hook. See Fig. 4.
5. Adjust the height of the inner chimney to the position of the internal chimney bracket and secure it with a screw. After adjusting the position, secure the assembly with the safety screw. See Fig. 5.

Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the Filter Mesh:

The filter mesh is made of high-density stainless steel. Do not use corrosive cleaning agents. Keeping the filter clean ensures the proper functioning of the appliance. Strictly follow the instructions below.

Method 1: Place the mesh in 40-50 cl of clean water, add detergent, and let it soak for 2-3 minutes. Wear gloves and clean the mesh with a soft brush. Do not apply excessive pressure, as the mesh is delicate and can be easily damaged.

Method 2: If indicated in the instructions, they can be placed in a dishwasher; set the temperature to approximately 60 degrees Celsius.

Cleaning the Extractor Hood:

• To protect the main body of the hood from corrosion long-term, clean it with hot water and a non-corrosive cleaning agent every two months.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they may damage the hood body.
• Clean the motor and other spare parts without water, as this may cause damage to the appliance.
• Remember to switch off the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
• The carbon filter should not be exposed to heat.
• Do not open the fixed strip around the carbon filter.
• If the plug or cable is damaged, replace it with a special flexible cable.

Installing the Carbon Filter:

• Remove the metal grease filters.
• The carbon filters are located at both ends of the motor. Turn the activated carbon filters to unscrew them.

Note: Carbon filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months or when signs of damage appear.

Environmental Protection Notes

• During cooking, ensure adequate air supply so that the extractor hood can operate efficiently and with low noise.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. Use intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• If a large amount of steam is generated during cooking, select a higher fan speed in time. If cooking steam has already dispersed in the kitchen, the extractor hood must operate longer.
• Turn off the extractor hood when it is no longer needed.
• Turn off the lighting when it is no longer needed.
• Clean the filter regularly and replace it if necessary to increase the efficiency of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
• Use a lid when cooking to reduce steam production.
