Frequently Asked Questions - BHI626E6X GORENJE

How do I install the Gorenje BHI626E6X range hood?

Ensure the hood is mounted at a minimum height of 65 cm above a gas cooktop or 50 cm above an electric cooktop. Secure the hood to a sturdy cabinet using the provided screws and templates. Connect the exhaust duct (if ducted mode) or install charcoal filters for recirculation mode. Always disconnect power before installation.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The aluminum mesh grease filter should be cleaned every 2 months, or more frequently if used heavily. You can wash it by hand with warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

Charcoal filters are used in recirculation mode. They should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. To replace, remove the grease filter, then release the charcoal filter from the locking mechanism. Insert a new filter and secure it.

Why is the range hood not extracting properly?

Check that the grease filter is clean and not clogged. Ensure the exhaust duct is not obstructed or kinked. If using recirculation mode, verify that the charcoal filter is not saturated. Also, make sure the hood is set to an appropriate fan speed.

Can I use the hood without the charcoal filter?

Yes, if you are using ducted mode (air expelled outside), you do not need a charcoal filter. The charcoal filter is only required for recirculation mode where the air is filtered and returned to the kitchen.

How do I reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold the filter reset button (usually indicated by a gear or filter icon) for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. Refer to the user manual for exact location.

What are the dimensions of the Gorenje BHI626E6X?

The dimensions are approximately 60 cm (width) x 50 cm (depth) x 33 cm (height). Always measure your installation space before mounting.

Is the lighting replaceable?

Yes, the LED strip can be replaced by a qualified technician. Contact Gorenje service for replacement parts. Do not attempt to replace LEDs yourself unless specified in the manual.

What does the boost function do?

The boost function runs the fan at maximum speed (typically 650 m³/h) for a short period to quickly remove strong odors or steam. It automatically returns to the previous speed after 10 minutes.

How can I reduce noise from the range hood?

Ensure the hood is properly installed and not vibrating. Clean the filters regularly. Use lower fan speeds when possible. For ducted models, check that the duct is correctly sized and insulated to minimize noise.

USE

Ducting version

The hood is designed to be used either for exhaustion or filter version.

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

Atten tio n! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Atten tio n! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

I Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.

! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

INSTALLATION

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 65cm from electric cookers and 75cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

M oun ting

Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons.

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g., packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silic one th is a pplia nce to the e w a ll. Surface m o u nting g only.

OPERATION

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapors. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
