Frequently Asked Questions - Plan 252 Thermex

How do I install the Thermex Plan 252 range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the hood is securely mounted above the cooking surface at the recommended height (65-75 cm for gas, 55-65 cm for electric). Connect to the mains power and, if ducted, attach the exhaust hose to an external vent.

How do I clean the grease filter?

Remove the aluminum grease filter and wash it by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Alternatively, you can clean it in the dishwasher at low temperature. Let it dry completely before reinstalling.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

If using recirculation mode, replace the carbon filter every 3 to 6 months, or when it becomes saturated and less effective. This filter cannot be washed.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting properly?

First, check if the grease filter is clean. Also, ensure the duct is not blocked. For recirculation mode, verify the carbon filter is not clogged. If the issue persists, contact customer service.

Can I use the hood without a charcoal filter?

Yes, if the hood is connected to an external duct (ducted mode). The charcoal filter is only needed for recirculation mode to remove odors.

How do I change the LED lamp?

Turn off power, gently pry out the old lamp from its holder using a flat screwdriver (if needed), then insert a new LED lamp of the same type and wattage (e.g., 1.5 W). Reinstall the cover.

Why is my hood making more noise than usual?

Excess noise can be due to a dirty filter, loose installation, or an obstruction in the duct. Clean the filters and check for any vibrations. Tighten any loose screws if possible.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Spare parts such as filters, lamps, and motors can be ordered from Thermex authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer's website. Use the model number Plan 252 for correct parts.

How do I reset the hood after cleaning?

The Thermex Plan 252 does not have a specific reset function. After cleaning, simply restore power and the hood will operate as normal. If a filter saturation indicator exists, refer to the manual for reset instructions.

What is the warranty period for this hood?

The standard warranty period for Thermex products is typically 2 years from the date of purchase. However, this may vary by country. Register your product to extend warranty coverage.

§ Diversion of exhaust air must be carried out in accordance with instructions issued by the appropriate authority.
§ Exhaust air must not be directed into flues that are used for fumes from items such as gas, wood or oil-burning stoves or fireplaces.
§ The distance between the stove and the product must be at least 44 cm. For gas hobs, the distance should be increased to 65 cm. Adjust accordingly if the gas hobs manufacturer recommends a higher mounting height. N.B. If the product has a stove alarm or stove guard, it must not be mounted over a gas hob. See separate instructions.
§ You must not flambé food underneath the product.

§ For safety reasons, the installation and replacement of cables or other types of connectors should only be carried out by a qualified professional.
§ If the product is to be used at the same time as products that use energy sources other than electricity, i.e., gas hobs, gas, wood or oil-burning stoves or fireplaces, etc, the room must have an adequate supply of air.
§ The product may be used by children from 8 years of age and persons with mental, sensory or physical impairment, or a lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are given information about how the product is to be used.
§ Children should not be allowed to play with the product. Children must not undertake cleaning or maintenance of the product unsupervised.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The product features LED lighting (6.5 W), aluminium filters and the Easy Clean system.

FUNCTIONS

Fig. 1

A. Lighting.

B. Damper function. Open/close.

C. 1. Extension of timer (+ 30 minutes). 2. Filter guard. If the filter guard is activated (see Programming below), the LED will start to flash when the filter needs to be cleaned. After cleaning, press button C for 2 seconds to reset the system.

The damper will close automatically after 60 minutes or if you press button B again. It is a good idea to have the damper open a short while before and after cooking to prevent cooking smells spreading into the room.

The product is fitted with a filter guard. To activate/deactivate the filter guard, see below.

Programming

1. Start programming: press and hold buttons A and B for 3 seconds so that they both flash 3 times. Programming mode will then be active for 30 seconds.
2. Select function: press the button for the selected function to activate/deactivate the function.

Button Functions

C Filter guard

The LED on the button lights up when the function is activated.

1. To save a programme: press and hold buttons A and B for 3 seconds. Buttons A and B will flash twice to show that the programme has been saved.

Attention!

If the product has a stove alarm or stove guard, see separate instructions.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the filter

The cooker hood should be cleaned with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid. With normal usage, the filters must be cleaned at least every other month. Clean more often after intensive use.

Remove the grease filter by opening the snap retainer, Fig. 2.

Handle the filter carefully, taking care not to bend it.

Soak the filter in a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. The filter can also be washed in a dishwasher.

Refit the grease filter after cleaning, making sure it snaps firmly into place.

Cleaning other parts

The inside of the cooker hood and the damper must be cleaned at least twice a year.

The damper must be thoroughly cleaned in both its open and closed position using a damp cloth and washing-up liquid. Handle the damper carefully.

REPLACEMENT OF LED LIGHTING
