Frequently Asked Questions - ZSTCM41BL RANGEMASTER

What is the minimum installation height between the hob and the hood?

The minimum safety distance is 650 mm from the cooker top to the extractor hood. Always check local regulations and the hob manufacturer's instructions.

How do I clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters should be cleaned every 2 months (or more frequently with heavy use). They are dishwasher safe. Remove by pushing towards the back and pulling downwards. Avoid bending the filter. Ensure they are completely dry before refitting.

When should I replace the activated charcoal filter?

The activated charcoal filter cannot be washed and must be replaced approximately every 4 months, or more often with intensive use. It is used in recirculation mode.

How do I know when the filters need attention?

The hood has saturation alarms: LED S1 fixed indicates grease filter needs cleaning after 100 working hours. LED S1 flashing indicates charcoal filter needs replacement after 200 working hours.

Can I use a remote control with this hood?

Yes, the hood can be controlled with a remote control that uses a 1.5V LR03-AAA alkaline battery (not included). Keep the remote away from heat sources and dispose of batteries properly.

What are the different motor speeds and functions?

The hood has multiple speeds plus an Intensive speed that runs for 10 minutes then returns to previous speed. A Delay function shuts down everything after 30 minutes. A 24H function runs the motor for 10 minutes every hour for 24 hours.

How do I reset the charcoal filter alarm?

To reset the activated charcoal filter alarm, press and hold the T1 button for about 2 seconds with all loads off. The LED S1 will turn off (fixed or flashing).

Can I install the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, this hood is designed for recirculation version. It requires activated charcoal filters to clean the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen.

What type of lighting does the hood have?

The hood is equipped with a white LED lamp class 1M according to EN 60825-1. Do not look directly at the light through optical devices. For replacement, contact technical support.

Is it safe to use the hood with a gas hob?

Yes, but ensure the room has adequate ventilation to prevent backflow of exhaust gas. The negative pressure must not exceed 0.04 mbar. Adjust flame intensity so it only touches the pan bottom, and never leave high naked flames under the hood.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

INSTALLATION

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire
• This appliance is not 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.

Ceiling/Shelf drilling and Plate Fixing

CEILING/SHELF DRILLING

• Use a plumb-line and mark the centre of the cooking hob on the Support Ceiling/Shelf
• Rest the Plate against the Ceiling/Shelf, making sure it is the right way up, as shown in the figure.
  • Mark the centres of the holes in the plate.

• Drill the following points:

• Ceilings in solid concrete: As per concrete plugs used.

• Ceilings in hollow bricks with 20 mm resistance thickness: Drill a hole 10 mm (insert Plugs 11 supplied immediately).

- Ceilings with Wood Beams: As per Wood Screws used (not supplied).

• Wooden shelf, with a resistant thickness of 15 mm: drill a hole 7 mm.
• Feeding the electric supply cable: drill a hole 10 mm.

- Insert two screws, crossing them and leaving 4-5 mm from the ceiling:

• for solid concrete, concrete plugs, not provided.
- for hollow bricks with approx. 20 mm resistance thickness, screws 12a, provided.
• for wooden beams, wood screws, not provided.
• for wooden shelves, screws with washers and nuts, not provided.

FIXING THE PLATE

- Lift up the Fixing plate and fit the slots onto the two screws previously inserted in the ceiling, and turn until they are at the centre of the adjustment slot.

Warning: The plate must be facing in the direction shown in the figure

- Tighten the two screws completely and screw in the other two provided; before locking the screws completely it is possible to make adjustments by turning the piece, making sure that the screws do not come out of the adjustment slot.

- The unit must be securely fastened both due to the weight of the Hood and the stress caused by occasional sideways pressure on the Appliance when in position. Once the unit has been fixed, make sure that the plate is stable.

- In all cases where the Ceiling is not sufficiently strong at the point of suspension, the Installation technician must strengthen it with suitable plates and counterplates, anchored to structurally sound elements.

- Check that the plate is level on the ceiling.

CONNECTING HOOD-PLATE CABLES

N.B. Before proceeding with installation the Hood must be raised to a height of at least 650 mm above the cooker hob by means of a support or with the assistance of another person. Be careful not to exceed the maximum Hood extension indicated in the dimensional drawing.

This operation is essential, as the Hood Cables are to be connected to the Plate mounted on the ceiling, and this must be done without the weight of the Hood bearing down on the structure.

The system used to fix the 4 Cables comprises 3 components:

• Threaded pawl (a) already mounted on the ceiling Plate.
  • Cable locking screw (b), provided.
  • Safety knob (c), provided.

- Insert the Hood power cable into the hole provided in the Cover.

• Pass the 4 cables (connected to the Hood Canopy) through the respective holes in the Plate Cover after dismantling as above, making sure that they face the same way as the plate connected to the ceiling.

• Insert the safety knobs (c) into the respective cables, with the thread to the top.
• Insert the cable locking screws (b) into the respective cables.

- Pass the Cables into the slots on the threaded pawls (a) and tighten the cable locking screws (b) into the pawls themselves.

- When the operation has been completed, the result should be as shown in the figure for all 4 cables.

- At this point, all 4 cables are now connected to the Plate.

Tension the Cables by pushing them upwards, so that they slide inside the cable locking screw and out through the slot in the threaded pawl.

This is possible because the cable locking screw involves a system that allows the Cable to slide in one direction only, preventing it from sliding in the other direction.

Make sure that the Cables are all the same length, to facilitate final levelling operations. The left front cable must not be slacker than the others.

LEVELLING THE HOOD

• The hood canopy must be levelled.
- The Hood is levelled by adjusting the safety pawls C.

• Rest a spirit level on the hood.

- Exerting an upwards pressure on the safety knobs "unlocks" movement of the Cable. By inserting or extracting the cable from the cable locking screw it is possible to make adjustments to level the mobile hood canopy.

- Once the hood has been set level, the safety knobs must be tightened.

Warning:

• Make sure that all 4 of the support cables are taut.
- Make sure that none of the 4 support cables have been damaged during installation.
- Remember that the minimum distance between the Hood and the cooker hob must be 650mm and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum Hood extension indicated in the dimensional drawing.

FIXING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

• Tighten the power supply cable and fix it to the Bracket on the ceiling mounted Plate, using the tongue already mounted and 2 screws.
• Slot the rubber cable raceway already threaded onto the power cable into the slot to prevent future damage.
• Connect the Hood to the Mains Power Supply, inserting a bipolar switch with a contact aperture of at least 3 mm.
• Remove the Grease filters (see paragraph "Maintenance") and make sure that the Power cable has been properly inserted into the Suction fan socket.

FITTING THE PLATE COVER

- Screw the Cover back onto the Plate using the screws removed previously.
