Frequently Asked Questions - DHG356XP1 DE DIETRICH

How to clean the grease filters on my De Dietrich DHG356XP1 hood?

Remove the filters by releasing the clips or handles. Wash them in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (60°C). Let them dry completely before reinstalling. Clean every 2-3 months for optimal performance.

How do I replace the carbon filter for recirculation mode?

The carbon filter is optional for recirculation. Open the filter cover, remove the old saturated filter, and insert a new one (reference DHG356XP1-C). It should be replaced every 6-12 months depending on use.

What size ducting is required for the DHG356XP1?

The ducting diameter required is 150 mm. Use rigid or flexible ductwork compatible with this size. Ensure minimal bends for efficient air extraction.

How do I adjust the height of the chimney?

The telescopic chimney can be adjusted between 60 and 90 cm. Loosen the fixing screws, slide the upper section to the desired height, and retighten the screws securely.

Why is my hood not extracting properly?

Check if the grease filters are clogged, if the ductwork is obstructed, or if the motor is on. Also ensure the carbon filter (if used) is not saturated. Clean or replace filters as needed.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, in recirculation mode you need to install a carbon filter. The filtered air is then returned to the kitchen. This is suitable when external ducting is not possible.

How to change the LED bulb in the hood?

Turn off power. Remove the light cover (clip or screw). Pull out the defective LED module and replace with a new one of the same type (3W, G4 base). Reattach the cover.

What should I do if the touch controls stop responding?

First, disconnect the power for 5 minutes to reset the electronics. If the issue persists, check for moisture or grease on the touch surface. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Contact service if still unresponsive.

How often should I service the hood?

Clean grease filters every 2-3 months. Check and replace carbon filter every 6-12 months. Have the motor and electrical parts inspected by a professional every 2 years.

What is the noise level of the hood at different speeds?

At minimum speed: ~45 dB; medium speed: ~50 dB; maximum speed: ~55 dB; boost mode: ~58 dB. These levels ensure quiet operation in normal conditions.

USER MANUAL DHG356XP1 DE DIETRICH

The distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lower part of the hood must be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.

The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct used to blow off smokes from appliances fed with an energy other than electricity (central heating systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).

Comply with the official instructions provided by the competent authorities in merit when installing the disposal duct. In addition, exhaust air should not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for that purpose.

The room must be well aerated in case a hood and some other heat equipment fed with an energy other than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc) operate at the same time.

In fact the intake hood, disposing of air, could create a vacuum in the room. The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar. This prevents the gas exhausted by the heat source from being intaken again. It is therefore advisable to ensure the room contains air taps able to ensure a steady flow of fresh air.

Check the data label inside the appliance; if the symbol (☐) is printed, read the following: this appliance has such technical particulars that it belongs to class II insulation, therefore it must not be earthed.

The following warning is valid in the United Kingdom only: in case your cable is not furnished with a plug, read the following instructions; as the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – the wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black; – the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. – terminal of a three-pin plug.

Check the data label inside the appliance; if the symbol (☐) is NOT printed, read the following: ATTENTION: This appliance must be earthed. When making the electrical connections, check that the current socket has a ground connection.

The following warning is valid in the United Kingdom only: in case your cable is not furnished with a plug, read the following instructions; as the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – the wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol [±] , or coloured green or green and yellow; – the wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black; – the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When making the electrical connections, check that the voltage values correspond to those indicated on the data plate inside the appliance itself. In case your appliance is not furnished with a non separating flexible cable and has no plug, or has not got any other device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the electricity main, with a contact opening distance of at least 3 mm, such separating device ensuring disconnection from the main must be included in the fixed installation. If your unit features a power lead and plug, position this so the plug is accessible.

Always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning or servicing operations on the appliance.

ATTENTION: This appliance must be grounded.

USE

Avoid using materials which could cause spurts of flame (flambées) near the appliance.

When frying, take particular care to prevent oil and grease from catching fire. Already used oil is especially dangerous in this respect. Do not use uncovered electric grates.

To avoid possible risks of fire always comply with the indicated instructions when cleaning anti-grease filters and when removing grease deposits from the appliance.

MAINTENANCE

Thorough servicing guarantees correct and long-lasting operation.

Any fat deposits should be removed from the appliance periodically depending on amount of use (at least every 2 months). Avoid using abrasive or corrosive products. To clean painted appliances on the outside, use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and neutral detergent. To clean steel, copper or brass appliances on the outside, it is always best to use specific products, following the instructions on the products themselves. To clean the inside of the appliance, use a cloth (or brush) dipped in denatured ethyl alcohol.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

The description and characteristics shown in this document are for information only and not obligatory. Indeed, we reserve the right to carry out any modification or improvement of the quality of certain of our products without prior notice.

As with all hoods, these apparatuses can be installed in either filtering version or duction version.

In the Filtering version (Fig. 1), the air and vapours conveyed by the appliance are depurated by charcoal filter and recirculated around the room. ATTENTION: Using the hood as a filtering one it is necessary to use the charcoal filters that purifies the air sent back into the room.

In the Ducting version (Fig. 2), cooking vapours and odours are conveyed straight outside by a disposal duct which passes through the wall/ceiling. Use of charcoal filters is therefore unnecessary.

Decide at the beginning which type of installation to adopt.

Your apparatus is supplied in the filtering version so that if you want to install the apparatus in the duction version you must remove the carbon filters.

This apparatus conforms to the 16.08.89 regulation relating to the limitation of radio-electric disturbances (EC Directive n./6.889 modified by the EC Directive 8/.308.).
