Frequently Asked Questions - OSC6118WH Hansa

How to install the Hansa OSC6118WH range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified technician. The hood should be mounted at a minimum height of 65 cm above electric hobs and 75 cm above gas hobs. Follow the detailed instructions in the user manual for ducting or recirculation setup.

How to clean the grease filter?

The aluminum grease filter can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling. Clean every 2-3 months depending on usage.

How to replace the LED lights?

The LED lights are integrated and should be replaced by a qualified technician. If the lights stop working, contact Hansa service for assistance.

Why is the hood noisy?

Noise can be caused by a clogged filter, loose ducting, or improper installation. Clean the grease filter and check all connections. If noise persists, consult the manual or a technician.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, you can use it in recirculation mode by installing a carbon filter (purchased separately). The charcoal filter absorbs odors and needs periodic replacement.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

The carbon filter should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on cooking frequency and intensity. Some models have a filter saturation indicator.

What is the maximum extraction rate?

The maximum extraction rate is 620 m³/h, ideal for medium-sized kitchens. Use intensive speed for high steam or smoke levels.

Does the hood have a remote control?

No, the OSC6118WH is controlled via front panel push buttons. It does not include a remote control.

How to reset the filter alarm?

After cleaning or replacing filters, press and hold the filter reset button (usually the speed selector or dedicated button) for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off.

What are the dimensions for cabinet cut-out?

For built-in installation, the cabinet cut-out should be approximately 55 x 30 cm, but always refer to the specific dimensions in the manual. The width is 60 cm overall.

Before using the appliance, please carefully read this manual!

The appliance is intended for household use only.

The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes which do not affect the operation of the appliance.

The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any damage due to installation or operation not conforming to these instructions. - The cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use the cooker hood for other purposes. - Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The duct length (typically 120 or 150 mm in diameter) should not exceed 4-5 m. The air exhaust is also required for telescopic and under-furniture cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode.

- Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (chimney cooker hoods only).

The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds. - Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built-in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

- For details of the installation distance above an electric hob, please refer to the product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1a/b/c).

- Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.

- Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly monitored, since over-heated fat can ignite very easily.

Pull the plug of the power cord from a wall socket before any filter cleaning or repair operation.

The textile grease filter should be replaced, and the aluminium filter should be cleaned at least every one month in connection with the existing fire danger (saturated fat is very flammable).

- If any other non-electric devices are used in the same room as the hood (e.g. liquid fuel ovens, flow-through or volumetric water heaters), it is necessary to provide appropriate ventilation (air supply). Safe operation is possible when during simultaneous operation of the hood and combustion devices dependent on air supply the negative pressure of not more than 0.004 milibar is maintained at the location of these devices inside the room (this point does not apply when the hood is used as an odour absorber).

- Do not abut against the hood

GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE

- The hood should be frequently cleaned inside and on the outside surfaces (at least a month). See “Cleaning section” in this manual.

- If the power wire gets broken, it should be replaced with a new one in a specialist repair shop.

- Make sure the appliance can be easily disconnected from the mains, either by pulling the plug out of the mains socket, or by switching the two-pole switch off.

- This appliance is intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Check if the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds to the local power supply parameters.

● Before installing unwind and straighten the power cord.

- Warning! The packaging materials (polyethylene bags, small pieces of foamed polystyrene etc.) should be kept away from children while unpacking.

NOTE: Before connecting the hood to the mains power supply, always check the power cord is properly installed and is not trapped by the appliance. It is recommended to make sure the hood operates correctly before installation.

- Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating!

● The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited.

- With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

● WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

INSTALLATION

Elements

The kitchen hood consists of the following elements (Fig. 2...):

Setting the air extractor mode of operation of the hood

In the extractor mode, air is discharged to the outside by a special conduit. In that setting, any carbon filters shall be removed. The hood should be connected to the opening discharging air to the outside by means of a rigid or flexible conduit of 120 mm diameter, which should be purchased in a shop selling installation materials.

A qualified installer should be commissioned to make the connection.

Setting the odour absorber mode of operation of the hood

Installation

Step-by-step appliance installation is shown on Fig. 3...

In this option, filtered air returns to the room through openings in the front of the hood. In this setting, it is necessary to install the carbon filter. It is recommended to install the air guide (availability depending on model).

In some universal hoods, you need to switch the lever inside the hood (Fig. 8) to switch between the extraction and air recirculation modes. The cleaned air is returned to the room through the holes in the top of the unit.

Furniture and telescopic cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require installation of the exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be directed to the room as it will discharge filtered air.

Fan speeds

The lowest and medium speeds should be used under normal conditions and with low concentration of fumes. The maximum speed should be used in case of high concentration of kitchen fumes, e.g. during frying or grilling.

Use the control panel to operate your cooker hood (Fig. 4).

Buttons 1, 2, and 3 control the fan speed, ranging from 1 to 3. Press 0 to turn off. The "L" button switches the hood lights on or off independently of the fan.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device will ensure faultless operation and help extend its lifespan. Pay attention to replacing grease and carbon filters according to the instructions.

Aluminium grease filter

Cleaning

For normal hood operation, clean the aluminium grease filter every month, either in the dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.

To replace:

Figure 5 shows how to dismantle the aluminium grease filter.

Some models use an acrylic filter. This filter should be replaced at least once every two months, or more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.

Charcoal filter (only for recirculation version)

Operation: Carbon filters can only be used when the hood is not connected to any ventilation duct. Filters with active carbon absorb odours until they become saturated. They cannot be washed or regenerated and should be replaced at least every 2 months, or more frequently with very intensive use.

Replace:

Figure 6 shows how to dismantle the charcoal filter.

Lighting

See Figure 7 for details on how to replace lights. Use incandescent, halogen, or LED modules of the same specification as those factory-installed in the appliance.

Cleaning

Normal hood cleaning:

• Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water jet.
• Do not use solvents or alcohol, as they may tarnish lacquered surfaces.
• Do not use caustic substances, especially for cleaning stainless steel.
• Do not use a rough or abrasive cloth.

It is recommended to use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.

Aluminium filters may be washed in the dishwasher. The colour of aluminium filters may change after several washings. This is normal and it is not necessary to renew the filters.
