Frequently Asked Questions - ZHP 615 WM ZANUSSI

How to install the ZHP 615 WM hood?

Follow the instructions in the manual: attach the wall bracket, connect the extraction duct (150 mm) or install the charcoal filter for recirculation mode, then connect the power supply. Make sure the hood is level and securely fixed.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal filters are dishwasher safe up to 65°C. You can also wash them by hand with hot water and detergent. Dry them thoroughly before reinstalling. Cleaning every 2 months is recommended.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter (optional) must be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage. It is not washable. A saturation indicator may be present on some models.

The hood is noisy, is that normal?

Some noise level is normal, especially on intensive speed (up to 65 dB). If the noise is abnormal (squeaking, clicking), check that the filters are properly in place and that nothing is blocking the motor or the extraction duct.

How to change the LED bulb?

Unplug the hood. Open the lighting cover, remove the defective bulb by turning or unclipping, then insert a new compatible LED bulb (same power, 1.5 W). Close the cover and plug back in.

The hood does not turn on, what should I do?

First check the power supply (fuse, circuit breaker). Make sure the cable is properly connected. If nothing works, the touch controls or motor may be faulty: contact customer service.

Can I use the hood without external extraction?

Yes, in recirculation mode. You need to install an activated charcoal filter (not supplied) to filter odors and release purified air into the kitchen.

What is the ideal height between the hood and the hob?

For electric or induction cooking, the minimum distance is 65 cm; for gas cooking, 75 cm. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the manual.

How to activate the intensive function?

Press the dedicated button (often marked 'Boost' or 'I') for a few seconds. The hood operates at full power for about 10 minutes, then automatically returns to the previous speed.

Where can I buy spare parts for the ZHP 615 WM?

Spare parts (filters, bulbs, motor, remote control) are available from Zanussi customer service, authorized dealers, or on household appliance spare parts websites. Have the exact model number ready.

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.

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

MAINTENANCE

• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard).
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.

Control panel

L Light Switches the lighting system on and off.

M Motor Switches the extractor motor on and off.

V Speed Sets the operating speed of the extractor:

1. Low speed, used for a continuous and silent air change in the presence of light cooking vapour.
2. Medium speed, suitable for most operating conditions given the optimum treated air flow/noise level ratio.
3. Maximum speed, used for eliminating the highest cooking vapour emission, including long periods.
