Cleaning and maintenance 9

Caution!

Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.

General maintenance

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by not following these instructions.

The wall canopy should be cleaned regularly using warm water with soap or mild liquid detergents. This ensures that no build-up of grease occurs as these deposits are corrosive. Do not use abrasives or harsh detergents/cleaning fluids.

Note: in areas of high humidity and coastal environments cleaning should be carried out frequently.

Grease deposit container

Your wall canopy is fitted with a clear container located underneath the motor housing, that is only visible when the grease filters are removed.

Over time, oil, fat and grease, that is normally deposited inside the motor casing, is directed into this container for easy cleaning.

This unique design will help ensure your wall canopy remains in peak condition by minimising the amount of fat or grease collected in the motor.

Note:

This container should be cleaned as necessary, usually on an annual basis.

Always ensure the container is in place prior to using the wall canopy.

Do not attempt to block the hole in the motor casing.

Aluminium filters

The grease filters must be periodically cleaned (at least every two months).

Remove the grease filters and wash them either by hand using hot soapy water or place them in the dishwasher using mild detergent. Badly smoked filters may be cleaned with “cookware cleaners”.

Note: some discolouration of the frame may occur.

Charcoal filters

Charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours, prior to the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the wall canopy is in recirculating mode). Charcoal filters are disposable items and it is recommended that these should be replaced every three to six months depending on use.

Note:

Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement, impeding the wall canopy’s performance.

In the event of fire, fully grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore regular replacement is recommended.

In ducted installations, conventional aluminium filters are recommended.

For replacement charcoal filters, ducting accessories, spare parts and service, please contact your local supplier or Fisher & Paykel Customer Care Centre.

HC60PCIX2, HC90PCIX2 specifications

Fisher & Paykel has made a significant mark in the kitchen appliance market, and their range hoods are no exception. Among their popular models are the HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2, both offering a blend of sophisticated design, cutting-edge technology, and robust performance.

The HC90PCIX2 model features a sleek and contemporary design, suitable for modern kitchens. With a width of 90 cm, it provides substantial coverage over larger cooking surfaces. Similarly, the HC60PCIX2 offers a more compact 60 cm size, ideal for smaller kitchens without sacrificing performance. Both models are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and a stylish aesthetic that complements various kitchen decors.

These range hoods are equipped with powerful extraction capabilities, effectively removing smoke, steam, and odors from the kitchen. The HC90PCIX2 has a maximum extraction rate of up to 1,200 m³/h, making it suitable for professional cooking environments or large family gatherings. Meanwhile, the HC60PCIX2, with a slightly lower extraction rate, still excels in everyday cooking scenarios.

One of the notable features of both models is their advanced lighting system. Energy-efficient LED lights illuminate the cooking surface, enhancing visibility and making the cooking process easier and safer. Moreover, the intuitive controls allow users to adjust ventilation speeds and lighting settings effortlessly, catering to different cooking needs.

Both range hoods utilize a sophisticated ducted or recirculated installation option. The ducted option efficiently expels airborne contaminants outside, while the recirculated installation incorporates charcoal filters to clean and recirculate air within the kitchen, offering flexibility based on the kitchen layout and user preference.

In terms of noise levels, Fisher & Paykel has prioritized a quieter operation with these models. The sound insulation technology ensures that both the HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2 operate at low decibel levels, maintaining a serene kitchen environment even during peak cooking times.

To sum it up, the Fisher & Paykel HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2 range hoods are exemplary choices for anyone looking to enhance their kitchen with efficient, stylish, and advanced ventilation solutions. With their powerful extraction, contemporary design, and user-friendly features, they stand out as top contenders in the modern kitchen appliance market.
