This document outlines the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Fagor 5CFB-90X and 5CFB-60X Wall Canopy cooker hoods. It serves as a comprehensive guide for users to ensure proper and safe functioning of the appliance.

The Fagor wall canopy cooker hood is designed to efficiently remove cooking fumes and odors from your kitchen, offering both ducted (exhausting) and recirculating (filter) versions. In the ducted version, the hood expels fumes to the outside through a top air outlet, requiring an exhaust pipe and clamps (not supplied). For the filter version, where external venting isn't possible, the hood utilizes an activated carbon filter and a deflector to recycle purified air back into the kitchen through a top grille. Models without a suction motor are exclusively for ducted operation and must be connected to an external suction device.

Installation and Mounting:

The installation process begins with preliminary steps, including disconnecting the hood from the electrical supply and removing the fat/s and carbon filters. It's crucial not to tile, grout, or silicone the appliance to the wall, as it's designed for surface mounting only. The wall/ceiling must be robust enough to support the hood's weight. The manual provides detailed instructions for assembling the chimney flue support/bracket and, if applicable, the deflector. These components are designed to be adjustable to match the internal width of the telescopic chimney flue. Specific models, such as those illustrated in Fig. 1D/8D, 1E/8E, and 1Q/8Q, require the removal and preservation of screws that temporarily fix the flue units for transport reasons. Users are advised to disassemble these parts to facilitate installation and note how they are fixed to ensure correct reassembly. Before mounting, it's important to verify that the metal band holding the lamp and filters is securely attached to the front, adjusting its position if necessary.

The installation sequence involves resting the suction unit on a flat surface and threading the lower part of the hood onto it, followed by making all electrical connections between the two parts. The cooker hood is then permanently fixed to the suction group with screws. A center line is drawn on the wall, extending up to the ceiling, to aid in positioning. The drilling template is used to mark perforation points, ensuring the hood's bottom edge aligns with the template and maintaining the minimum required distance from the cooker top (50 cm for electric cookers, 65 cm for gas or mixed cookers). The lower support bracket is fixed to the wall using screws and wall-dowels. For specific models (Fig. 1Q/10Q), a central bracket is also fixed above the lower bracket. If supplied dismantled, hooks are fixed to the aspiration group, and the hood is hung onto the lower bracket. Adjustments for distance from the wall and horizontal position are then made. Permanent drill holes are marked, drilled, and wall screw anchors are inserted. The flue support bracket is applied to the wall, marked, drilled, and fixed with screws. The hood is then hooked onto the bottom bracket and fixed into its final position. Finally, the discharge pipe is connected to the suction motor unit, and electrical connections are completed. For filter versions, the deflector is fixed to the chimney support bracket, and the pipe is connected to the deflector's connection ring. The chimney stacks are applied and fastened to the support. For models with optical fiber lighting or control panels on the chimney flue, specific instructions are provided for accessing and connecting these components. The bottom section of the chimney is slid down to cover the suction unit, and the lower section is fixed with screws. The carbon filter frame and fat/s filters are then remounted, and the hood's functioning is checked.

Operation and Usage:

The Fagor cooker hood offers various control interfaces, including keyboard and 5-key or 6-key electronic models, as well as display models.

Keyboard Model: Features separate on/off switches for lighting and aspiration, with distinct selections for minimum, medium, and maximum power. Some models may only have one suction power.
5-Key Electronic Model: Includes a motor OFF button, an ON button with speed selection (1-2-3), and LEDs indicating speed levels. LED 4 also serves as a metal grease filter saturation indicator, flashing when cleaning is needed. LED 5 indicates active carbon filter saturation. An intensive speed LED and switch are available for strong fumes, operating for 5 minutes before returning to the previously set speed. Lamp on/off buttons are also present. The active carbon filter saturation indicator can be activated or deactivated by pressing specific buttons simultaneously.
6-Key Electronic Model: Features a motor OFF key, keys to diminish and increase speed, a 5/15 minutes timer that automatically turns off the speed, and a reset button for carbon filter saturation. An ON/OFF light is also included. This model also includes a sensor for automatic calibration and functioning, and allows for selecting the cooking top type (gas, induction, electric) to optimize automatic operation.
Display Model: Offers an OFF key (Display off)/Stand-by function, lighting on/off, and a timer for selected speeds (20 min for speed 1, 15 min for speed 2, 10 min for speed 3, 5 min for intensive speed P). The display shows fan speed (1-2-3-P), grease filter saturation (F), and activated carbon filter saturation (C). The intensive speed button operates for 5 minutes before returning to previous settings. The active carbon filter saturation indicator can be activated or deactivated by pressing specific keys simultaneously.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to switch on the cooker hood 5 minutes prior to cooking and leave it on for about 15 minutes after cooking. The high suction speed should be used for concentrated kitchen vapours. If the hood malfunctions, briefly disconnecting it from the mains power supply for about 5 seconds and then reconnecting it can often resolve the issue. Always press the fan off button before disconnecting the hood from the mains supply.

Maintenance Features:

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

Cleaning: The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with a neutral liquid detergent. Abrasive products and alcohol should not be used.
Grease Filter: The grease filter (Fig. 2) must be cleaned monthly, or when the filter saturation indicator (if present) signals the need. It can be washed by hand with non-aggressive detergents or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature, short cycle. Discoloration after dishwasher cleaning is normal and does not affect filtering capacity. To remove, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal Filter (Filter Version Only): The charcoal filter (Fig. 3) absorbs cooking odors. Washable charcoal filters should be cleaned every two months (or when indicated by the saturation system) using hot water and detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (without other dishes). After washing, excess water should be removed, and the mattress dried in an oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. The mattress should be replaced every 3 years or when damaged. Traditional, non-washable charcoal filters should be replaced every 3-4 months.
Replacing Lamps: Disconnect the hood from electricity and allow bulbs to cool before touching them. The manual provides specific instructions for various models (Fig. 1E, 1N/O, 1A/B/C/D/F/H/I/K/P/Q/S/T/U/V, 1J, 1G, 1K, 1L, 1M) on how to access and replace damaged halogen or incandescent bulbs. It specifies using 20W max (G4) halogen bulbs, avoiding touching them with bare hands. For certain models, specific Philips bulbs and starters are recommended to ensure equivalent lighting quality and correct light distribution. If lights do not work after replacement, ensure they are properly fitted before contacting technical assistance.
