The minimum distance between the hob and the lower part of the hood must be at least 65 cm for gas/other fuel burners and 50 cm for electric cookers. Check the hob manual for specific minimum distances.

Installation

The hood is designed for 'suction' or 'recirculation' mode.

Suction Version

Steam is sucked in and conveyed outdoors via an exhaust pipe (not supplied) connected to the hood's steam outlet. Ensure the exhaust pipe is correctly installed in the air outlet using a suitable connection system. Important: If a carbon filter is already installed, remove it.

Air Recirculation Version

Air is filtered through one or more filters and returned to the room. Important: Ensure correct air circulation around the hood. Important: If the hood is not supplied with carbon filters, they must be ordered and installed before use. Filters are available at IKEA stores. Install the hood away from dirty areas, windows, doors, and heat sources.

Wall mounting accessories are not included as wall materials vary. Use fastening systems suitable for your walls and the appliance's weight. Contact a specialist dealer for details. Keep these instructions for future reference.

Environmental Protection Advice

Packaging Material: The packaging is 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol ♻️. Dispose of packaging parts according to local regulations, not into the environment.

Product Disposal: The symbol ♺ on the product or documentation indicates it should not be treated as domestic waste. It must be taken to a suitable collection site for recycling electrical and electronic appliances.

Cleaning and Maintenance

WARNING: Disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply before cleaning.

• Clean surfaces with a damp cloth. For heavy dirt, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to water. Dry with a dry cloth.
• Do not use tools or other cleaning instruments.
• Avoid steam jet cleaners.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If contact occurs, clean immediately with a damp cloth. Use specific detergents as per manufacturer instructions.
• Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or metal scrapers, as they can damage the surface over time.
• IMPORTANT: Clean grease filters at least once a month to remove oil/grease residues.

Washing the Grease Filter

The metal grease filter has an unlimited service life. Wash it monthly by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperatures on a short program. Dishwasher washing may cause slight discolouration, but filtering properties remain unchanged.

Carbon Filter Maintenance

The odour filter should be washed and regenerated monthly. It retains odour-absorbing capacity for three years, then requires replacement.

Regeneration Procedure:

• Wash in a dishwasher at maximum temperature with normal detergent. To prevent food particles or dirt settling, wash the filter alone.
• Dry in an oven at 100°C for 10 minutes.

Light Bulb Maintenance

The hood features an LED lighting system. LEDs provide optimal illumination, last up to 10 times longer than conventional lamps, and save 90% electricity. Contact the Authorised Service Centre for replacement.

Manufacturer and Electrical Connection

Manufacturer: Ikea of Sweden AB, SE-343 81 Älmhult, Sweden.

Electrical Connection:

WARNING: All electrical connections must be made by an authorised installer. Verify that the voltage on the product plate matches the mains voltage. This information is inside the hood, beneath the grease filter.

WARNING: If the hood has a plug, connect it to an accessible, compliant wall socket. The hood comes with a special power cable (type H05VV-F); request replacement from technical assistance if damaged.

If the hood does not have a plug (direct mains connection) or the nearest socket is inaccessible, install a standardised double-pole switch for complete mains isolation in case of category III overvoltage, following wiring regulations.

WARNING: Do not weld the cables!

Data Plate

Technical specifications are indicated on the plate inside the appliance.

Control Panel

The control panel typically includes knobs for fan speed and lighting. (Diagrams show control knobs with settings for fan speed and light, and a motor ON/OFF button).
