Using this Instruction Book
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Teka cooker hood.
We are sure that the appliance you have pur-
chased will fully satisfy your needs.
It has been constructed using top quality mate-
rials and has undergone strict quality controls
throughout its manufacturing process.
Before installing or using your new cooker hood,
please read this manual carefully and follow the
instructions in order to ensure the optimum per-
formance of the appliance for many years.
Keep this instruction book in a safe place so that
you can consult it whenever necessary and fulfil
guarantee requirements.
Safety Instructions
Before using your cooker hood for the first time,
please take note of the installation and connec-
tion instructions.
Never unplug the hood by pulling the power
cable, always by removing the plug from the
socket.
Do not use the hood if the power cable has been
damaged in any way or if the control switches
shows visible signs of deterioration.
If the hood stops working, or operates abnor-
mally, disconnect its power supply (unplug from
the mains) and get in touch with your TEKA
Technical Service.
Do not leave uncovered gas rings burning under
the hood.
Do not allow grease to accumulate on any part
of the hood, especially in the filter. This is a fire
risk.
Do not flambé under the hood.
Description of the Appliance
Your cooker hood is equipped with (Fig. 1):
A Sliding three-speed extractor fan control.
B Light switch.
C On/off pilot lamp.
D Hob lighting, located behind the extractor
panel.
E Filter located below the extractor fan inta-
ke. Easy to remove.
F Filter support frame.
G Filter support frame catches.
H & I No-return flaps (H), supplied in a bag along
with the hood’s documentation, which
must be installed at the mouth of the
exhaust duct, slotting their ends into the
openings provided for this purpose (I).
This hood is designed for the external venting of
fumes, though carbon filters may be fitted to
allow the recirculation of purified air to the kit-
chen through the hood’s outlet duct.
To install the activated carbon filter, line it up
with the fixtures on the extractor fan and turn in
clockwise direction to secure.
Activated carbon filters have a lifetime of three
to six months, depending on the conditions they
are used in.
To replace a used filter, follow the installation
procedure in reverse order (Fig. 2).
Special Requirements before
First Use
Before connecting the hood to the mains elec-
tricity supply, make sure that the mains voltage
and frequency correspond to the values indica-
ted on the rating label inside the hood.
Using your Hood
Fan motors
Select the desired extraction speed by sliding
the control switch situated on the hood’s front or
side panel. The extractor fan or fans have three
speed settings and an on/off pilot light which
lights up when the fan or fans are operating at
any of these speeds (Fig. 3).
Light switch
The hob lighting is independent of the extractor
fan motor, allowing it to be used irrespective of
the hood’s operating status (Fig. 4).
Suggestions and Recommendations
■ Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes
before you start cooking (3 to 5 minutes) in
order to ensure that a steady air flow has
been established before cooking fumes
appear.
■ Allow the extractor fan to run for several
minutes after you have finished cooking (3
to 5 minutes) in order to expel all the fumes
from the outlet duct. This prevents the
return of grease, smoke and smells.
Cleaning and Maintenance
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE OPERATION, ENSURE THAT
THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY.
Cleaning the filter
■ Open the filter support by releasing its cat-
ches (A) (Fig. 5).
■ Allow the filter support to fold down on its
hinges (B) (Fig. 6). Take special care to pre-
vent it from dropping.
■ Remove the filter. The filter can be cleaned
either in the dishwasher or by running it
under the hot water tap, scrubbing with a
non-abrasive brush (models A and B).
■ After cleaning, allow the filter to dry (models
A and B).
■ To reinstall the clean filter, follow the same
procedure in reverse order (models A and B).
N.B. Cleaning the filter in a dishwasher with
strong detergents may blacken its metallic surfa-
ce, without affecting its grease retention capacity.
Important. Filters should be cleaned at least
once a month, depending on hood usage.
Remember that grease will build up on the hood
and in the filters whenever you cook, irrespecti-
ve of whether or not the extractor fan is opera-
ting.
Cleaning the filter support and hood body
■ It is recommended to use warm (approx.
40ºC) soapy water and a damp cloth to
clean the hood body, paying special atten-
tion to the slots on the extractor grille. After
washing, dry thoroughly using a cloth that
does not leave fluff.
Warning
■ Do not use metal scouring pads.
■ Do not use abrasive cleaning products that
can damage the metal surface.
■ Do not scrape with sharp objects such as
knives, scissors, etc.
Activated carbon filter
The activated carbon filter cannot be washed or
regenerated. Once it has become soiled (obs-
tructed) it must be replaced.
Changing light bulbs (Mod. A) (Fig. 7)
■ Open the filter support to access the light
bulbs (C).
■ Make sure that the hood has been discon-
nected from the mains supply and that the
bulbs to be replaced are not hot.
■ The maximum bulb rating is 40 W.
Changing light bulbs (Mod. B) (Fig. 7)
■ Remove the embellisher ring by unscrewing
it in anti-clockwise direction, taking care not
to drop it.
■ Make sure that the hood has been discon-
nected from the mains supply and that the
bulbs to be replaced are not hot.
■ Remove the old bulb and install the new
one, following the bulb manufacturer’s ins-
tructions.
■ The maximum bulb rating is 40 W, 12 V.
■ Replace the embellisher ring by screwing
tightly in clockwise direction.
