This document is an instruction manual for an EVERKITCH Cooker Hood. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and environmental protection.

Function Description

The EVERKITCH Cooker Hood is designed to extract cooking fumes and odors from the kitchen environment. It operates by drawing air through grease filters, which trap grease particles, and then expelling the air either outside (vented mode) or recirculating it through charcoal filters (if applicable, though not explicitly detailed for recirculation in this manual). The hood features a touch control panel for various functions, including power on/off, fan speed adjustment (low, mid, high), lighting control, and a delay function.

Important Technical Specifications

• Lighting: LED modules, round lamp type.
• Max Wattage: 2 x 1.5 W.
• Voltage Range: DC 12V.
• Installation Distance: 65-75 cm from the cooking surface for optimal effect.
• Ducting Diameter: Interior diameter of 150mm for extraction duct.
• Mounting Screws: ST430mm for wall mounting, ST418mm for cabinet mounting.
• Lamp ILCOS D Code: DSR-1.5/65-S-64.
• Negative Pressure Limit: When the cooker hood and other non-electric appliances operate simultaneously, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10^-5 bar).

Usage Features

The cooker hood offers a user-friendly touch control interface:

• Power Button: Turns the hood on/off. When turned on, it starts at low speed. Pressing it again turns off all functions and puts the hood in standby.
• Speed Buttons (Low, Mid, High): Allows selection of different fan speeds. Only one speed can be active at a time; selecting a new speed overrides the current one.
• Lamp Button: Turns the LED lights on/off.
• Delay Button: Activates a 5-minute delay function. After 5 minutes, the hood and lights automatically turn off, and the unit enters standby mode. This function is only available when a speed button and the lamp button are in use.
• V-Flap System: The hood includes a V-flap system for efficient air discharge, which needs to be assembled during installation.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the cooker hood's performance and longevity.

• Grease Mesh Filters: These filters should be cleaned regularly by hand. They can be soaked in warm water with a mild detergent for about 3 minutes, then gently brushed. They should be allowed to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight. Filters should be washed separately from other crockery and kitchen utensils, and rinse aid should not be used.
• External Surfaces (Stainless Steel): Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned weekly with a clean, soft cloth. A specialized stainless steel cleaning fluid can be used. Wiping should be done along the grain of the steel to prevent crisscross scratching. Avoid alkaline or acid substances (like lemon juice or vinegar).
• Control Panel Surface: The inlay control panel can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a well-wrung, clean cloth. Any excess moisture should be removed with a dry, soft cloth. Harsh cleaning chemicals, strong household detergents, or abrasive products should be avoided as they can damage the panel's appearance and artwork, potentially voiding the warranty.
• Bulb Replacement: The LED bulbs are replaceable by the manufacturer, service agent, or qualified persons. Before replacement, the appliance must be switched off and unplugged, and the bulbs must be completely cooled down. Gloves or a cloth should be used when handling bulbs to prevent perspiration from reducing their lifespan. The process involves removing the grease filter, pressing the spring splinters of the LED light to push it out, disconnecting the wire terminal, and then reversing the steps for reinstallation.
• General Cleaning: All cleaning and maintenance should be performed when the appliance is cold. Always disconnect the unit from the main power supply before any maintenance or cleaning.

Safety Instructions

The manual emphasizes several safety precautions:

• Installation: Must be performed by a competent person or qualified electrician, following all instructions and measurements. Ensure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees.
• Operation: Never use the hood without grease filters or with excessively greasy filters. Do not install above a high-level grill. Avoid leaving frying pans unattended due to fire risk from overheated fats/oils. Never use naked flames under the hood. Accessible parts may become hot during operation.
• Ventilation: Adequate room ventilation is required when the hood is used simultaneously with gas or other fuel-burning appliances. The air must not be discharged into a flue used for other appliances.
• Children Safety: Children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance under supervision and with proper instruction. Children younger than 8 should be supervised. Children should not play with the appliance or perform cleaning/maintenance without supervision.
• Fire Risk: Do not store items on cooking surfaces. In case of fire, switch off the appliance and cover the flame (e.g., with a lid or fire blanket); never use water.
• Damage: If the hood is damaged, do not attempt to use it.
• Power Supply: Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during installation and maintenance. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person.
• Packaging: Dispose of packaging material carefully, as children are vulnerable to it.
• Sharp Edges: Pay attention to sharp edges inside the hood during installation and cleaning.
• Steam Cleaner: A steam cleaner is not to be used.
• Screws: Use only the recommended size of fixing/mounting screws to avoid electrical hazards.

Environmental Protection

The product is marked for selective sorting of waste electronic equipment, indicating it should not be disposed of with household waste. It should be recycled or dismantled according to Directive 2012/19/EU to minimize environmental impact. Users are advised to contact local or regional authorities for recycling information. To reduce environmental impact during cooking, users should install the hood in a well-ventilated area, clean it regularly, and switch off the light and the hood after cooking. The appliance should not be dismantled by the user.
