Hafele HH-IS90A, User Instructions

- 26 -

other appliances generated by other than an electrical source. 

Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the 

anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.16) so that the unit is easier to handle.

-  In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version 

prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.

•  

We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the 

same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a 

smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be 

reduced and its operation may become noisier.

•  Hood assembly:

- Remove the structure from the packaging and remove the 2 

screws 

A 

to separate the upper part from the lower part (Fig.2).

- Position hole template on the ceiling paying attention that 

the arrow is positioned on the same side as the appliance 

controls (Fig.3). Make 4, Ø8 holes in the ceiling and drive in 3 

screws without completely tightening them. Pay attention not 

to insert the screw into the hole marked with an 

X 

on the hole 

template (the screws and expansion plugs must be suitable 

for the type of wall).

- Take the upper part of the structure 

B

 (Fig.4) and insert the 

3 slots onto the 3 screws that are not completely tightened. 

Rotate slightly to fit (Fig.4). Drive in the fourth screw 

X 

and 

tighten the remaining 3 to allow definitive blocking of the 

upper part of structure 

B

.

-

Take the lower part of the telescopic structure 

C 

and insert it 

into the upper structure 

B 

(Fig.5). Adjust the height by referring 

to the amounts indicated in (Fig.15) and block it using the 8 

screws 

G

 that are supplied (Fig.6).

• Suction version:

 fix the flexible pipe to the prepared air 

evacuation hole (Fig.7).

• Filtering version:

 we have two different types of Kit, one 

with extractable carbon filters (Fig.17) and the other one with 

re-usable carbon filters (washable) (Fig.18).

- Fix the flexible pipe to the deflector 

M

 and fix screw 

I 

as 

indicated in Fig.8, the active carbon filters must be applied to 

the suction unit positioned inside the hood (Fig.17).

- If your product is fitted with a connector flange, perform the 

assembly steps indicated in fig. 9 before fixing the cooker hood 

to the structure. Take connector flange 

F

 and fit it to the upper 

part of the cooker hood suction assembly using the 2 screws 

E

 (Fig.9).

- Take the upper chimney piece and fix it to the structure using 

the 2 screws 

A 

(Fig.10). Join the lower chimney piece with the 

upper one and fix it carefully using adhesive tape 

L 

(Fig.11A).

- Unscrew the 2 screws 

O

, max 3 mm (Fig.11A). Insert the 

suction unit inside the structure paying attention that the 

previously unscrewed screws 

O

, hook into the slots in the 

lower part as indicated in (Fig.11B). Drive in the 3 screws 

N 

(supplied) and tighten the 2 screws 

O

 (Fig.11B).

- Fix the air evacuation pipe 

H 

(not supplied) onto the connec-

tion flange 

F 

(Fig.12).

- Remove adhesive tape 

L 

and rest the lower chimney piece 

above the cooker hood (Fig.13).

- If the cooker hood is supplied with a lower chimney piece 

that must be fixed to the hood body with screws, remove the 

anti-grease filters from the hood by acting on the relevant 

handles (Fig.16).

- If necessary, fix the lower duct to the hood from the inside, 

using the screws 

P 

(Fig.14). Re-locate the filters in their seat.

  USE AND MAINTENANCE

•  

We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before 

any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is 

left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order 

to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective 

performance of the cooker hood depends on constant main-

tenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both 

require special attention.

•  The anti-grease filter

 is responsible retaining the grease 

particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging 

with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

-  To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 

months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using 

non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher 

at low temperatures and on short cycles.

-  After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does 

not give the right to claim their replacement.

•  The active carbon filters

 are used to purify the air that is 

sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the 

unpleasant odours produced by cooking.

-  The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced 

at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal 

depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, 

on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-

grease filter is cleaned.

-  Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand, 

with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at 

a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be 

complete without dishware). Remove excess water without 

damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the 

mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at 

a maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable 

charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be 

repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least 

every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.

•  Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regen

-

erable active charcoal filters it is important that they are 

completely dry.

•  Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, 

using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral 

liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

•  

The lighting system is designed for use during cooking 

and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The 

prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases 

the average duration of the bulbs.

•  

If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible 

to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount 

of time.

•  Attention:

 the non compliance with the hood cleaning 

warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters 

entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the 

suggested instructions.

•  Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.19):

In order to replace the dichroic lamps, carefully remove the 

lamp from the lamp holder with the help of a small flat screw-

driver or a similar tool.

PLEASE NOTE! In doing this operation, please take care 

not to scratch the hood.

Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.

•  Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.20):

To replace the halogen light bulbs 

B

, remove the glass pane

C

 using a lever action on the relevant cracks.

Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.

Caution:

 do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

•  Replacing LED lamps (Fig.21):

If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of 

a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
