MANUAL
Opening the damper
Automated boost
The PTC and PTD hoods and TTC fans feature an
automated boost. If the hood damper is opened, the fan
speed is automatically switched to 3 (boost). After the
damper is closed with the timer or button, the previous
profile is restored.
Adjusting the fan speed
The fan speed can be adjusted by pressing the fan
speed button. The speed changes in the following
order: 1 (Away), 2 (At home), 3 (Boost), 0 (no signal light),
1 (Away), etc. The ‘0’ mode is included as a factory
setting only in cooker fans.
Light
Press the light button to switch on the cooker hood
light. Press the light button again to switch o the light.
If you want to dim the light, press the light button longer
when switching it on. The longer the light button is
pressed, the dimmer the light.
Guard function and seto
Capto and Delico cooker hoods (not KTC and KTD)
are equipped with a guard function that monitors the
temperature in the lower part of the hood. The guard
function is activated if the temperature measured
increases by more than 8°C/min. or if the temperature
rises above 60°C. In this case, all the signal lights and
the light of the cooker hood start flashing at a high
frequency (90 1/min), the damper closes, the fan goes
o and the ends of the guard close. The guard function
contact data (not PTC AC and PTD AC) can be used
for purposes such as triggering an alarm to house
automation, cutting the power supply to the cooker
or connecting a buzzer. The alarm can be set o by
pressing any button on the hood.
Alarms
If the PTC EC or PTD EC hood is used to control
the Vallox MC/MV ventilation unit, the maintenance
reminder/error data can be connected to the cooker
hood. In this case, the short circuit link between
the M ALARM connectors is disconnected and the
ventilation unit error data is connected in its place. If the
ventilation unit’s maintenance reminder is activated or a
malfunction occurs, the cooker hood alarm signal light
flashes steadily (*_*_*_*…).
After a power cut, the hood damper opens and
closes. The damper resumes the position before the
power cut. If the damper is malfunctioning, the alarm
signal light starts blinking in cycles of three flashes
(***_***_***_***…).
The fan rotation speed data (tacho data) of cooker
and house extraction fans (LTC and TTC) is monitored.
This function can be activated for PCT EC and PTD EC
hoods. If the fan does not start or stops unnecessarily,
the alarm signal light blinks in cycles of two flashes
(**_**_**_**…).
To set the fan rotation speed monitoring function for
PTC EC and PTD EC hoods, close the damper, turn o
the light and set the fan speed to 2 (At home). Then
press the selection button down and then the fan
speed button and keep both buttons pressed down for
about three seconds, until the signal lights start flashing
at a high frequency, indicating that the monitoring of
the fan rotation speed data was saved. The monitoring
of the fan rotation speed data can be switched o
by repeating the above steps. For PTC EC and PTD
EC hoods, monitoring is o as a factory setting. The
monitoring can be activated if the PTC EC or PTD EC
hood is used to control the roof fan or other fan for
which rotation speed data is available.
The damper is opened by pressing the damper button
(signal light goes on). According to the factory setting,
the damper closes after an hour. You can close the
damper sooner by pressing the damper button again
(the signal light goes o). Cooker fans (LTC) do not have
a damper button as the damper opens automatically
when the fan is switched on and closes when the fan is
switched o.
Functioning of cooker hoods after a
power cut
The cooker fan (LTC) damper closes and the fan is in the
‘0’ mode when power is restored.
Cooker hoods (KTC A, KTC EA, PTC EC, PTC AC, KTD
A, PTD AC ja PTD EC) and the house extraction fan
(TTC) are restored to the state preceding the power cut
(damper position and fan speed).
NOTE! It takes 10 seconds to save the change of
damper position and fan speed in the memory.
Therefore, when testing the above function, you should
wait at least 10 seconds before switching the hood o.
BASIC USE
NOTE
The functions of the Vallox Captura and
Vallox Delico K hoods are similar to those of
the Vallox Capto PTC EC and Vallox Delico
PTD EC hoods.

VALLOX CAPTO AND DELICO COOKER HOODS AND FANS
Adjusting the fan speed
PTC EC and PTD EC hoods as well as LTC and TTC fans
have the following control voltages as factory settings:
• 1 = 3.0 VDC
• 2 = 6.0 VDC
• 3 = 9.0 VDC (PTC EC, PTD EC)
• 3. = 11.2 VDC (LTC, TTC)
If you want to measure the control voltage by using a
general meter, there are probes for this purpose at the
bottom of the filter enclosure (see above photograph).
If you want to change the control voltage, do as follows:
NOTE! Always set the fan speed to 2 (At home) first.
Setting the At home profile also changes the speeds of
the Away and Boost profiles.
• Close the damper, switch o the light and set the
fan speed to 2 (At home).
• Press the selection button for about 10 seconds
until the setting mode signal light flashes.
The hood is now in the setting mode and the
signal light is blinking in cycles of five flashes
(*****_*****_*****_*****…) = 5 VDC control voltage.
• Press the fan speed button once; the signal
light flashes in cycles of five blinks + one quick
blink (*****'_*****'_*****'_*****'…) = 5.5 VDC control
voltage).
• Press the fan speed button; the signal light flashes
in cycles of six blinks (******_******_******_******…) =
6.0 VDC control voltage.
• Press the fan speed button once; the signal light
flashes in cycles of six blinks + one quick blink (***
***'_******'_******'_******'…) = 6.5 VDC control voltage
etc., until the maximum of 11.2 VDC is reached.
After the next pressing of the fan speed button, the
control voltage is 2.5 VDC and increases thereafter
in steps of 0.5 VDC.
MANUAL
CHANGING FACTORY SETTINGS
The basic rule for adjusting settings: ‘Only what you
want to adjust is on.’ For instance, if you want to adjust
the fan speed to 2 (At home), you close the damper,
switch o the light and set the fan speed to 2.
Adjusting the time for which the
damper remains open
• Open the damper, switch o the light and set the
fan speed to 1 (Away).
• Press the selection button for about 10 seconds
until the setting mode signal light flashes. The hood
is now in the setting mode and the signal light is
blinking in cycles of two flashes (**_**_**_**…) =
open for 60 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal
light is now blinking in cycles of three flashes
(***_***_***_***…) = open for 75 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal
light is now blinking in cycles of four flashes
(****_****_****_****…) = open for 90 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal
light is now blinking in cycles of five flashes
(*****_*****_*****_*****…) = open for 105 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal
light is now blinking in cycles of six flashes
(******_******_******_******…) = open for 120 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal light is
now blinking in cycles of seven flashes (*******_*****
**_*******_*******…) = remains open.
• Press the damper button once; the signal light
is now blinking in cycles of one flash (*_*_*_*…) =
open for 45 minutes.
• Press the damper button once; the signal light is
now blinking in cycles of two flashes (**_**_**_**…) =
open for 60 minutes, etc.
• When a suitable time for the damper being open
is found, save it by pressing the selection button
for a long time, until the signal lights flash at a high
frequency, indicating that the save is complete.
• If the hood remains in the setting mode for more
than five minutes and no buttons are pressed
meanwhile, the hood exits the setting mode
automatically without saving.

Lighting timeout
You can set a timeout for the light, so that it is
automatically switched o after an hour. To activate the
light timeout, close the damper, switch o the light and
set the fan speed to 1 (Away). Then first press down the
selection button and then the light button and keep
both buttons pressed down for about three seconds,
until the signal lights start flashing at a high frequency,
indicating that the setting was saved. The light timeout
can be deactivated by repeating the above procedure.
Adjusting the brightness of lighting
According to the factory setting, the lamp always goes
on at the brightest power. If a dimmed light is desirable
when switched on, the setting can be adjusted.
• Switch on the light, close the damper and set the
fan speed to 1 (Away).
• Press the selection button for about 10 seconds
until the setting mode signal light flashes.
The hood is now in the setting mode and the
signal light is blinking in cycles of four flashes
(****_****_****_****…) = the factory setting, i.e. the
brightest light.
• Press the light button once; the signal light is now
blinking in cycles of one flash (*_*_*_*…) = the
dimmest light.
• Press the light button once; the signal light is now
blinking in cycles of two flashes (**_**_**_**…) = the
second dimmest light.
• Press the light button once; the signal light is now
blinking in cycles of three flashes (***_***_***_***…) =
the third dimmest light.
• Press the light button once; the signal light is now
blinking in cycles of four flashes (****_****_****_****…)
= the factory setting, i.e. the brightest light.
• When a suitable brightness for the light has been
found, save it by pressing the selection button for
a long time, until the signal lights flash at a high
frequency, indicating that the save is complete.
• When a suitable speed for fan speed 2 (At home
profile) has been found, save it by pressing the
selection button for a long time, until the signal
lights flash at a high frequency, indicating that the
save is complete. After this, the speed of the Away
profile is about 30% lower and the speed of the
Boost profile about 30% higher than the speed of
the At home profile. (max. 11.2 VDC
• NOTE! Saving the fan speed of the At home profile
also always adjusts the fan speed of the Away and
Boost profiles.
• The speeds of the Away and Boost profiles can be
adjusted individually. When adjusting the speeds of
these profiles, you must have the profile/speed in
question selected. The adjustment of these profiles
does not change the speeds of the other profiles.
• If the hood remains in the setting mode for more
than five minutes and no buttons are pressed
meanwhile, the hood exits the setting mode
automatically without saving.
Post-operation
It is possible to set a 15-minute post-operation for
all hoods and fans that feature the ‘0’ mode. Post-
operation of fans can reduce condensing in the duct.
To activate post-operation, close the damper, switch
o the light and set the fan speed to 3 (Boost). Then
first press down the selection button and then the fan
button and keep both buttons pressed down for about
three seconds, until the signal lights start flashing at a
high frequency, indicating that the setting was saved.
Deactivate post-operation by repeating the above
procedure. The signal light for speed 1 (Away) flashes to
indicate post-operation.
Activation of automatic damper for
Vallox Capto PTC EC and PTC AC hoods
NOTE! If the hood is used for controlling ventilation in
the home, the automatic damper must not be activated.
The damper can be programmed to work automatically
when the hood is only used for removing cooking
smells from the cooker. In this case, the damper opens
automatically when the fan is switched on. If the damper
is opened by using the button, the automatic boost sets
the fan to speed 3 (Boost). The automatic damper can
be programmed for all hoods and fans that have the
activated ‘0’ mode.
To activate the automatic damper, switch o the light
and open the damper, after which the automatic boost
sets the fan speed to Boost. Then first press down the
selection button and then the damper button and keep
both buttons pressed down for about three seconds,
until the signal lights start flashing at a high frequency,
indicating that the mode was activated. Deactivate the
automatic damper by repeating the above procedure.
• If the hood remains in the setting mode for more
than five minutes and no buttons are pressed
meanwhile, the hood exits the setting mode
automatically without saving.

MANUAL
Activation of the cooker fan mode for
Vallox Delico PTD EC hoods
NOTE! If the hood is used for controlling ventilation in
the home, the cooker fan mode must not be activated.
The damper can be programmed to work automatically
by activating the cooker fan mode when the hood is
used only for removing cooking smells from the cooker.
The cooker fan mode is activated by putting the hood
in the setting mode first: switch o the light, close the
damper and press the selection button for 10 seconds.
The cooker fan mode is then activated by pressing the
damper button for 10 seconds; the damper signal light
starts flashing *-*-* (at a frequency of approximately 60
flashes/minute). Press the selection button for about
three seconds to save the change; finally, the signal
lights will flash at a high frequency.
Once the cooker fan mode is activated, the hood works
as follows:
When the damper is closed, the fan being controlled is
at a standstill. When the damper is opened for the first
time, the fan starts at the Away mode speed (speed 1).
After this, the fan will start at the speed it had before
stopping. The damper is closed by using the damper
button or timeout; this switches the fan o.
The damper can also be opened by pressing the fan
speed button. When the fan speed button is pressed
again, the fan speed switches to the next mode. The
order of the ventilation modes is as follows: Zero, Away,
At home, Boost, Zero, etc. (or 0, 1, 2, 3, 0...). When
the fan is stopped by using the fan speed button, the
damper also closes.
The cooker fan mode is switched o by putting the
hood to the setting mode first: switch o the light,
close the damper and press the selection button for 10
seconds. Press the damper button for 10 seconds; the
damper signal light starts flashing *-*-* (at a frequency
of approximately 60 flashes/minute, in addition to the
setting mode signal light).
Then press the damper button (briefly) a second time.
The damper signal light stops flashing and the cooker
fan mode is deactivated. The setting mode signal light
continues to flash.
Press the selection button for three seconds; the signal
lights will flash at a high frequency and the ventilation
unit’s control mode (= not the cooker fan mode) is saved
and the setting mode signal light stops flashing.
If the adjustment of the setting is interrupted and the
hood is left in the setting mode, the hood will return to
the operating mode after five minutes without saving
settings.
NOTE! Closing the damper with the timer stops the
fan. When necessary, the damper can be programmed
to stay open until it is closed by using the button (see
Adjusting the time for which the damper remains open,
p. 4). If both the automatic damper and post-operation
have been programmed in the hood, pressing the fan
speed button will stop the fan first after 15 minutes.
Closing the damper stops the fan immediately.
