Frequently Asked Questions - BRA603GCX-F Bellini

How do I install the Bellini BRA603GCX-F range hood?

Installation must be done by a qualified professional. The hood should be mounted at least 65 cm above gas cooktops and 50 cm above electric cooktops. Ensure proper venting or use recirculation mode with a charcoal filter. Refer to the manual for detailed mounting steps.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Grease filters should be cleaned every 2 months or more frequently if used heavily. They can be washed by hand with mild detergent or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

Charcoal filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage. To replace, remove the grease filter, insert the charcoal filter behind it, and lock it in place. Ensure the hood is unplugged before handling.

Why is my range hood making excessive noise?

Excessive noise may be due to loose parts, blocked ductwork, or dirty filters. Check that the hood is securely mounted and the duct is not obstructed. Clean or replace filters as needed. If noise persists, contact a service technician.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the BRA603GCX-F can be used in recirculation mode. You will need to install a charcoal filter (sold separately) to remove odors. The air is then filtered and released back into the kitchen.

What type of light bulbs does the hood use?

The hood uses 2 x 1.5W LED lights. They are built-in and should be replaced by a professional if they fail. Do not attempt to replace them yourself unless you are qualified.

How do I switch between speed settings?

Press the speed button (usually labeled with a fan icon) to cycle through speed levels: low, medium, and high. Some models may have a boost function. Indicator lights will show the active speed.

What is the warranty period for this hood?

Bellini offers a 2-year warranty on the BRA603GCX-F range hood from the date of purchase. Keep your receipt as proof. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage from misuse or improper installation.

Does the hood come with a charcoal filter?

No, the hood is supplied without a charcoal filter. It is designed for ducted extraction by default. If you need recirculation, purchase a compatible charcoal filter separately.

What is the maximum airflow of the BRA603GCX-F?

The maximum airflow is 650 cubic meters per hour (m³/h) at the highest speed setting. This is suitable for medium-sized kitchens up to 15 m².

Installation:

Warning:

Check that the installation complies with the standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the appliance rating plate inside the range hood.

When installing the range hood, make sure you adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from the range hood base to the cooktop hob surface.

Hints for exhaust duct installation

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction

• Keep exhaust duct short and straight
• Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust duct
• When using flexible duct, always install the duct pulled taut to minimize pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the range hood.

Ensure the exhaust ducting selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.

1. Using a spirit level, mark a vertical centre line on the wall where the hood is to be positioned, and a horizontal line where the hood base will be.

NOTE: The distance from the horizontal line to an electrical cooktop underneath must be a minimum of 600mm, and 650mm to the gas cooktop, with a maximum height of 750mm (refer to table below).

*If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.

1. Based on the above drawing and dimensions, drill holes (8mm diameter) and hammer drywall anchor plugs into the holes.
2. Use 2 pcs ST4x8mm screws to attach the lower and upper chimney together. Do not fasten screws too much; make sure the upper decorative chimney can be telescopically adjusted after assembly.

1. Fit the flexible exhaust pipe onto the outlet with the 153mm end. Use a strap to tighten the pipe.

* If choosing air extraction mode, please install the flexible exhaust pipe; if choosing air recirculation mode, no need to install the flexible exhaust pipe. Skip this step and jump to step 5 directly.

1. Remove the grease mesh filter and install the active charcoal filter onto the motor chamber according to the below drawing.

* If choosing air extraction mode, skip this step and jump to step 6 directly. If choosing air recirculation mode, we strongly recommend you have the charcoal filter installed. Charcoal filters are available at your local Bunnings.

1. Secure the hood mount bracket onto the wall with 3 x ST4x40mm screws, making sure screws are securely tightened. Secure the upper chimney bracket onto the wall with 2 x ST4x30mm screws.
2. Hang the hood onto the hook of the hood mount bracket, making sure the mount slot on the cooker hood completely slides into the hooks.

*The above photo is for reference only; the actual product may vary.

1. Fasten the 2 anti-tilt ST4x30mm screws onto the wall to ensure the cooker hood is horizontal. You can find the screw holes inside the hood near the motor chamber.
2. Place the glass onto the cooker hood. Secure the glass with 4 sets of 4x25mm screws, washers, and T-shaped plastic. This step is for BRA903GCX/-1/F only. If installing BRA603GCX/-F/1F, skip this step and go directly to step 10.

1. Plug in the main power supply.
2. Place the chimneys onto the cooker hood. Secure the lower chimney bracket onto the wall with 2 x ST4x40 screws.
3. Extend the upper decorative chimney to the desired height and fix it with the upper decorative chimney bracket using 2 ST4x8mm screws.

1. Remove all blue protective film from the chimney and cooker hood. The installation is now complete.

Maintenance and cleaning

Caution:

- Before maintenance or cleaning is carried out, the range hood should be disconnected from the main power supply. Ensure that the range hood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed. - External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions, so please follow the instructions below to ensure the best possible result without damage.

GENERAL

Cleaning and maintenance should be carried out with the appliance cold, especially when cleaning. Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.

STAINLESS STEEL

The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g., weekly) to ensure long life expectancy.

Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialized stainless steel cleaning fluid may be used.

NOTE: Ensure that wiping is done along with the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly scratching patterns from appearing.

CONTROL PANEL SURFACE

The inlay control panel can be cleaned using warm soapy water. Ensure the cloth is clean and well wrung before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left after cleaning.

Important

Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, strong household detergents or products containing abrasives as this will affect the appliance appearance and potentially remove any printing of artwork on the control panel and will void manufactures warrantee

GREASE MESH FILTERS

The mesh filters can be cleaned either by hand or in the dishwasher. After cleaning ensure that the filters are completely dry before refitting.

- By hand: Soak in warm water and a neutral washing up liquid. For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush or sponge to help remove these stains. (Leave to dry naturally out of direct sun light) - In a dishwasher: Ensure that placement of the filters is made so as to not impede the function of the

spray arm. Washing the filters in a dishwasher may cause discoloration of the aluminum inner mesh over time although it will not affect their performance. Filters should be washed separately to crockery and kitchen utensils. It is advisable not to use rinse aid.

Replace Halogen(Max 20W) lamp

Using a small flat blade screwdriver remove the inner stainless steel ring to obtain access to the halogen globe.

When removing the inner ring, do so carefully so not damage the range hood, as the glass lens could easily fall out of the inner ring. Remove halogen globe, whilst cool, and replace carefully with a new globe. The range hood takes 2 x 20W, 12 volt halogen globes.

Important

When handling globes hold with a cloth or gloves to ensure perspiration does not come in contact with the globe as this can reduce the life of the globe.
