Frequently Asked Questions - Reading Thermex

How do I install the Thermex Reading range hood?

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is mounted at a minimum height of 65 cm above the cooking zone for electric hobs and 75 cm for gas hobs. Use the provided template to mark screw positions and secure the hood to the wall with appropriate anchors.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the aluminum grease filters every month to maintain optimal performance. You can wash them by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (low temperature, eco cycle). Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.

How do I replace the LED lamps?

Turn off the power supply. Remove the old LED lamp by gently twisting it counterclockwise and pulling it out. Insert the new LED lamp (3 W, same fitting) and twist clockwise to lock. Restore power.

Why is my range hood not extracting properly?

Check if the grease filters are clogged and clean them if necessary. Ensure the ductwork is not blocked or too long. Also verify that the exhaust flap opens correctly and the fan speed is set appropriately.

Can I use a charcoal filter for recirculation mode?

Yes, the Thermex Reading can be used in recirculation mode with an optional charcoal filter (model not included). The charcoal filter absorbs odors and should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage.

What is the noise level of the hood?

The noise level varies by speed: approximately 50 dB at low speed, 60 dB at medium speed, and 65 dB at maximum speed. These levels are measured at a distance of 1 meter.

How do I reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the filter reset button (symbol) for 3 seconds. The indicator light will turn off, indicating a successful reset.

What are the dimensions of the hood?

The Thermex Reading has a width of 900 mm, depth of 500 mm, and height of 600 mm. The duct outlet diameter is 150 mm.

Does the hood have an auto-off timer?

Yes, the hood features an auto-off timer that can be set to 10 or 15 minutes (depending on model). Activate it by pressing the timer button; the hood will automatically turn off after the set time.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Spare parts such as grease filters and LED lamps can be purchased from authorized Thermex dealers or online store. Use the model number (Reading) to ensure compatibility.

WARNINGS

• The range hood is designed and manufactured according to DS/EN 60335-1.
• This range hood is only for use in private house holdings, if used for other purposes the warranty will be repealed.
  • Installation must be performed by a skilled electrician in accordance with the specifications given by Thermex Scandinavia A/S (Thermex) and legislation in force.
• Thermex disclaims all responsibility in regards to damages caused by wrong installation, mounting or use.

BEFORE MOUNTING/COMMISSIONING

• Inspect the range hood for transport damages, flaws and defects immediately after the receipt.
• Transport damages must be filed to the haulage contractor and Thermex immediately after the receipt.
• Flaws and defects must be filed to Thermex within 8 days the receipt, and not later than mounting/commissioning.

MOUNTING

• The range hood is intended for working at 230 Volt ±10%\~50 HZ ±10% in referring to EN 50160.
• Connect the hood with the attached plug. NOTE: The hood MUST have earth if the plug has an earth connection.
• For models with external motor applies

that NOT to use common zero by installing the hood and engine, as this will affect the control.

• It MUST be ensured that the motor can be used with the selected range hood when using an external motor from another supplier. Otherwise the warranty no longer apply.
• Do not plug in the range hood until the mounting is complete.
• The air must not be discharged from the hood into a pipe used for extraction from devices using gas or other fuels. Such devices must have a separate vent.

- The national legislation on air emissions must be observed.

• Always use the original dimension of the vent. By reducing the dimension of the vent, the performance will be reduced and the sound level will be increased.

- The vent to the open air, must be as short as possible in order to get the greatest possible capacity of the range hood.

- The number of bends on the vent ought to be minimised, to gain the greatest possible capacity of the range hood.

- Thermex recommends to always use sound and condensation insulated vent hose at the carrying through in unheated spaces.

- Thermex recommends that there is used for a muffler to minimize the noise level when using flexible hose.

• Using the flexible hose must always ensure that this is fully extended to minimize air resistance and thereby achieve maximum absorbency.
• Different materials takes different rawlplugs and screws. Use rawlplugs and screws intended for the material the range hood is to be mounted in.
• If the instructions for the installation of screws and fittings are not followed, it may result in electrical shock.
• The minimum distance to gas stoves from the burner's edge to the underside of the hood MUST be minimum 65 cm in accordance with EN 60335-2-31.
  • Thermex recommends that the space

between the lower edge of the range hood and cooker is between 50 cm and 70 cm, valid for all cabinet range hoods, islands and wall mounted range hoods.

• Always control the stated minimum distance between cooker and range hood in the manual for the cooker. If the manual for the cooker states a greater distance than what Thermex recommends the manual for the cooker MUST be followed.
• Thermex recommends that the space between cooker and range hood does not exceed 3 meters for range hoods integrated in the ceiling

DIMENSIONAL DRAWING

INSTALLATION

The Reading is available with an internal motor. The range hood can either vent exhaust out into the open air or re-circulate the air.

Follow the instructions in this guide that match the model that you have purchased and the way in which you wish to install the exhaust outlet.

INSTALLING THE HOOD

The hood is installed on the wall using the following steps:

Measure out and mark the two "keyholes" on the wall.

Drill the holes into the wall using a suitable drill for the type of wall.

Ensure that the rawlplugs and screws are suitable for the wall material in question and insert them into the pre-drilled holes.

Open the glass door and remove the filter.

Mark the position of the two lock-holes on the wall and then remove the hood from the wall once again.

Pre-drill the holes and insert the rawlplugs.

Re-hang the hood.

Screw the screws into the two lock-holes.

Install the exhaust outlet on the hood. NOTE: This only applies when venting into open air.

INSTALLING THE DUCT FOR OPEN-AIR VENTING

If the hood is going to be installed with exhaust venting into the open air, the duct is installed as follows:

Measure the placement of the bracket and mark the position of the holes on the wall.

NOTE: The bracket must be positioned so that it matches the holes in the duct.

Screw the bracket onto the wall.

Pre-drill the holes and insert the rawlplugs.

Place the duct on the hood.

NOTE: Fasten the duct with two screws.

Push the topmost section of the duct upwards and attach it to the bracket with the two self-tapping screws.

INSTALLING THE DUCT WHEN THE HOOD IS TO BE USED FOR RECIRCULATION

If the hood is going to be used for recirculation, the cover panel must be installed up to the ceiling to cover the duct.

The duct is therefore installed as follows:

1

Measure the placement of the bracket and mark the position of the holes on the wall.

NOTE: The bracket must be positioned so that it matches the holes in the duct.

2

Pre-drill the holes and insert the rawlplugs.

3
