Hotpoint Ventilation Hood HX901X User Manual

Instructions for Installation and Use  
Electric Hood  
Model HX901X  
 
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS  
Using your new Cooker Hood is very simple. Nevertheless, to get the best results it is important  
that you read this manual thoroughly before installing and using your appliance for the first time.  
INSTALLATION  
• All installation and repairs should be carried out by a qualified  
technician in accordance to regulations in force.  
• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting  
from incorrect or improper installation.  
• After having removed the packaging, check the condition of the  
appliance, if in any doubt, do not use and contact Hotpoint Service  
(see Key Contacts, back page).  
• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the extractor  
hood is 700 mm.  
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the  
rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.  
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum  
diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.  
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying  
combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).  
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances  
(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation  
must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of  
exhaust gas. The kitchen must have a suitable vent to the outside  
of the building, so that clear fresh air can circulate through the  
kitchen.  
700mm  
USE  
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use  
to eliminate kitchen smells.  
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been  
designed.  
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in  
operation.  
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan  
only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.  
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use:  
overheated oil can burst into flames.  
• When frying, never leave the pan unattended.  
• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed  
in its correct use.  
MAINTENANCE  
• Switch off and unplug the appliance from the mains supply before  
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.  
• Clean regularly (see Care and Cleaning section), build up of dirt  
and grease could cause a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION  
Assembly Instructions  
The accessories required for the installation of the  
hood can be found inside the packaging. The hood  
is convertible and can therefore be installed for use  
in either the OUTDOOR VENTING mode or the  
AIR RECIRCULATION mode. If the hood is used  
in the OUTDOOR VENTING mode, connect  
opening ‘N’ (Fig.1) to an exhaust duct connected  
directly to the outside and which is 150cm2  
minimum in cross-section. The lowest part of the  
hood should be at least 70cm from the hob.  
• IN NO CASE WHATSOEVER SHOULD THE  
HOOD BE CONNECTED TO EXHAUST  
DUCTS FROM OTHER APPLIANCES  
THAT RUN ON ENERGY SOURCES OTHER  
THAN ELECTRICITY (water heaters, boilers,  
stoves etc.). The hood must not be placed above  
stoves with a top radiant hob.  
• There are 3 main types of supports for  
anchoring a hood onto a wall. As a rule each  
hood has tow main anchoring points, one at either  
side on the back of the hood.  
1ST TYPE OF SUPPORT  
• This support is assembled onto the hood and allows for the adjustment of the hood both vertically  
(screw L, Fig.2) and horizontally (screw F, Fig.2). For the installation, L-shaped hooks must be  
fastened to the wall (see E, Fig.2).  
2ND TYPE OF SUPPORT  
This support is already assembled on the cooker  
hood and only allows vertical adjustment, by  
turning the screw situated on the high part of the  
hood (see Side b). L-shaped hooks must be fastened  
to the wall for installation.

INSTALLATION  
Assembly Instructions  
Fig.3  
3RD TYPE OF SUPPORT  
• This support (see E above) is supplied with the cooker hood (generally in two pieces) and should  
be fastened to the wall by means of two wall plugs.  
• In this case, some slots have been made on the back of the hood onto which these supports should  
be hooked (see above).  
To adjust the position of the hood, the support fixing screws should be loosened and the height of the  
hood should be adjusted. The aforementioned 3 types of support are not sufficient to guarantee that  
the hood is firmly anchored... you will also need to install one of the following:  
ANTI-TIPPING BRACKET - (refer to Fig.2) This type of accessory (two pieces generally provided)  
should be assembled onto the top part of the cooker hood and then fastened to the wall (D). Slots (B)  
on the bracket allow for partial adjustment of the inclination of the hood.  
ANTI-TIPPING SCREW - (refer to Fig.3) This anti-tipping device foresees that the hood is  
fastened directly to the wall by means of one or more screws provided, using the holes on the back  
panel of the hood (P).  
ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS  
• Locate the position of the holes to drill on the  
wall for fastening screws and hooks.  
• Remove the metal grease filters.  
• Place the hood in its desired position, mark the  
exact points on the wall where holes must be  
drilled.  
• Move the hood and follow above instructions  
to anchor it to the wall according to the type of  
support.  
• Hook the hood on.  
• Now proceed with the anti-tipping connections,  
using the special bracket or screws (see above).

INSTALLATION  
MOTOR CONNECTION  
• There are two types of motor connections where  
the main difference is the diameter of the steam  
and odour outlet:  
- 120mm diameter  
- 150mm diameter  
• If the motor connection (N, Fig.1) does not come  
already fitted, it should be fastened to the top  
of the hood using screws provided. Then connect  
it to the steam and odour exhaust duct by means  
of a pipe of a suitable diameter.  
CHIMNEY DUCT ASSEMBLY  
• Take the two chimney ducts A and B (Fig.5)  
and rest the lower part of duct A on top of the  
hood.  
• Fasten duct A to the hood using screws K  
(Fig.3), provided.  
• Raise the mobile part B until it reaches the  
ceiling, making sure it is perpendicular with the  
hood.  
• Fasten it with the screws M (Fig.5), provided.

INSTALLATION  
Electrical Connection  
• The hood is intended for a fixed permanent  
installation. For the mains voltage and frequency  
information, consult the rating plate situated  
inside the hood. The power supply cable (type  
H05VV-F 3x0.75mm2) connected to the hoods  
terminals marked ‘L(mains), ‘N’ (neutral) and  
fastened by means of the cable clamp. It must  
be connected to a suitable and accessible fixed  
power point by qualified personnel following  
all laws in force, providing for an omnipolar  
switch above the electrical connection with a  
minimum contact opening of 3mm.  
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for  
injury or damage resulting from incorrect  
installation and use.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Before cleaning your cooker hood or carry out any  
maintenance, switch the omnipolar switch to  
OFF to disconnect the hood from the electricity  
supply.  
CLEANING METAL GREASE FILTERS  
The filters must be cleaned every 2 months of  
operation, or more frequently with heavy usage,  
and can be washed in a dishwasher.  
• Remove the filters one at a time by pushing  
them towards the back and pulling down at the  
same time.  
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them.  
Allow them to dry thoroughly before refitting.  
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the  
handle is visible on the outside.  
NOTE: After every 30 hours of use, the microprocessor which is the heart of the system, indicates  
with a flashing letter ‘Aon the display that the metal grease filters should be cleaned. Cleaning the  
filters reduces the fire risk and improves the performance and efficiency of your cooker hood.  
Clean the metal grease filters, following instructions in the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section.  
After cleaning cancel the warning message as follows:  
• Switch off the hood.  
• Press and hold Key 2 for more than 5 seconds.  
When the key is pressed the letter ‘Awill  
appear on the display, after the 5 seconds the  
letter disappears and the microprocessor starts  
a new 30 hour count down to the next warning  
message.

CARE AND CLEANING  
REPLACING THE ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (RECIRCULATION VERSION)  
The filter is not washable and must be replaced  
(see NOTE below).  
• Remove the metal grease filters.  
• Remove the saturated activated carbon filters  
O’ Fig. 15, by turning them clockwise and  
then removing them from the guide pegs on the  
outdoor venting assembly.  
• Dispose of the carbon filters.  
• Fit the new filters making sure that the holes fit  
well around the guide pegs of the outdoor venting  
assembly. Turn them anti-clockwise until you  
hear them click into position.  
• Replace the metal grease filters.  
NOTE: If the hood is used in the recirculation version with carbon filters to purify exhaust fumes,  
the microprocessor which is the heart of the system, must first be ‘informed’ that it is managing a  
cooker hood in recirculation mode. To do this:  
• Switch off the hood.  
• Press and hold Key 4 for more than 5 seconds.  
When the key is pressed ‘-’ will appear on the  
display (indicating that the hood is not using  
the carbon filter). After the 5 seconds this  
becomes a ‘C’ on the display (indicating that  
the hood is using the carbon filter).  
When set to using carbon filters, every 120 hours, the microprocessor will indicate with a flashing  
‘C’ on the display that the carbon filters need to be replaced.  
After replacing the carbon filters, cancel the warning message as follows:  
• Switch off the hood.  
• Press and hold Key 3 for more than 5 seconds.  
When the key is pressed the letter ‘C’ will  
appear on the display, after the 5 seconds the  
letter disappears and the microprocessor starts  
a new 120 hour count down to the next warning  
message.

CARE AND CLEANING  
LIGHT REPLACEMENT  
The hood can be provided with different types of  
lamps: incandescent, halogen and neon lamps.  
Incandescent lamps (Fig.6): lamps with E14  
cap, 40W power and 230V voltage, generally  
olive shaped.  
To replace them, remove the grease filters,  
unscrew the faulty lamp and screw in the new  
one, replace the grease filters. If using an  
electronic bulb, use only those with an E14  
coupling, max. 11W.  
Halogen lamps (Figs.7 & 8): Fig.7 illustrates  
the type of lamps with E14 cap, 50W power  
and 230V voltage. To replace them, follow  
instructions given above for incandescent lamps.  
Fig.8 illustrates the type of lamps with G4 cap,  
20W power and 12V voltage.  
To replace them, use a screwdriver to remove  
the glass support ring A (Fig.9), then remove  
the protection glass B. Pull out the used bulb  
and replace it with the new one. Replace the  
protection glass B fastening it in place with  
support ring A. If using a 12V dichroic halogen  
(Fig.8a) lamp, use only those with a GU5.3  
coupling max. 20W.  
Neon lamps (Fig.10): neon lamps can come  
with a ‘mignon’ G5 cap (8W or 13W power and  
288mm or 516mm long) or a normal G13 cap,  
(15W or 23W power and 437mm or 970mm  
long). To replace them, remove the metal grease  
filters, detach the neon, rotating it 90 degrees  
and pull it out of its housing. Fit the new neon  
light then replace the metal grease filters.  
Starter Replacement: for all types of neon  
lamps, use a 220-240V / 4-80W Starter (Fig.11).  
CLEANING  
• Clean with a sponge soaked in warm water and  
a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is among  
other things a good disinfectant. If you do not  
have any, you can use a neutral soap.  
• Clean steel parts by rubbing in the direction of  
the surface finish.  
• DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or  
detergents using ammonia.  
• NEVER use solvent based products.  
Failure to carry out the basic standards of cleaning and replacement of the filters could cause a fire  
risk. Therefore you must observe these instructions.
