Frequently Asked Questions - 524.60 Zelmer

How to clean the grease filter?

Remove the aluminum mesh filter and wash it in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

When should I replace the charcoal filter?

Replace the charcoal filter every 3-6 months depending on usage, or when the extraction performance decreases. The filter cannot be washed.

How do I change the LED light bulb?

Switch off the hood and disconnect power. Gently pry off the lamp cover and replace the LED module with a compatible one (same wattage and connection type).

The hood is noisy at high speed – is this normal?

Yes, noise level increases with speed. At maximum speed (600 m³/h) it may reach 60 dB. Ensure the hood is properly installed and filters are clean to minimize noise.

What is the minimum distance between hob and hood?

For electric hobs, the minimum distance is 65 cm; for gas hobs, it is 75 cm. Refer to your hob manual for exact specifications.

Can I use the hood without ducting (recirculation mode)?

Yes, but you must install a charcoal filter. The hood then recirculates cleaned air back into the kitchen.

How to reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning or replacing the filter, press and hold the speed button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This resets the timer.

The hood does not turn on – what should I check?

First, check the power cord and fuse/breaker. Ensure the plug is fully inserted. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

FEATURES

ZELMER cooker hood is used to extract cooking fumes. It requires to install a duct extracting air to the outside. The length of the duct (most commonly a tube ∅ 150 mm, ∅ 120 mm) should not exceed 4-5 m. After installing the active-coal filter which is available in the sales network, the cooker may operate as an odor absorber. In this case it is not required to install the duct extracting the air to the outside.

The cooker hood is a class II electrical appliance.

It is equipped with an independent lighting and an extract fan with three speed settings.

The cooker hood is designed for a permanent installation on a vertical wall above the gas or electric cooker.

PARTS

The cooker hood is composed of the following elements (fig. 1):

bent glass C together with the body, •

telescopic chimney comprising of:

upper chimney A, •

lower chimney C equipped with

the lighting and the fan unit,

wall hanger D, ●

reduction adaptor, ●
