Frequently Asked Questions - ZHT 620 n ZANUSSI

How do I clean the grease filter?

The metal mesh grease filter can be washed in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher at low temperature. Allow to dry completely before reinserting.

Does the hood come with a charcoal filter?

Not as standard. The charcoal filter is optional for recirculation mode. It needs to be purchased separately and replaced every 3-6 months.

How do I switch between extraction and recirculation?

In extraction mode, the hood expels air outside via ducting. For recirculation, install a charcoal filter and the air is filtered and returned to the kitchen. The hood can be operated in either mode.

What is the noise level of this hood?

At maximum speed, the noise level is approximately 65 dB(A), which is comparable to normal conversation.

Can I install the hood over a gas hob?

Yes, but the minimum distance between the hob and the hood must be at least 65 cm for gas hobs (55 cm for electric). Refer to the installation manual for exact requirements.

How do I change the LED light bulb?

The hood uses integrated LED strips that are not user-replaceable. Contact a qualified technician if the light fails.

Why is the hood not extracting properly?

Check if the grease filter is clogged or if the ducting is blocked. Also verify that the charcoal filter (if used) is not saturated. Clean or replace filters as needed.

Can I use the hood with a ductless recirculation kit?

Yes, the hood can be used in recirculation mode by fitting an activated charcoal filter. A recirculation kit may be required depending on your installation.

What are the dimensions for the cutout if building in?

When building in, the required cutout width is 600 mm and depth is 500 mm. Ensure adequate clearance for the ducting and electrical connection.

How do I control the fan speeds?

The hood is controlled via a slide switch or buttons on the front panel. Typically there are three positions: Off, Low (speed 1), Medium (speed 2), and High (speed 3).

This hood has been designed to be wall-mounted above a cooking hob. It can be installed under a wall unit or directly onto a wall. It can work either by ducting system (external discharge) or filter (internal recirculation). Before starting the installation, consideration should be given to the difficulties to be found during installation. The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and competent person in conformity to the rules concerning the evacuation of contaminated air. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation contained in the following text.

2 - SAFETY WARNINGS

2.1 - When used in the extraction mode, the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric, such as a central heating flue or water heating flue. 2.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage on the rating plate inside the hood. 2.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance between the contacts. 2.4 - The device does not require earthing, as it is double-insulated. 2.5 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above the hotplate. 2.6 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood. 2.7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire. 2.8 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the mains supply. 2.9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into the room. 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.

3 - INSTALLATION

3.1 - Wall installation

The hood can be supplied with two different fixing kits:

a) screws, plugs and safety square.

b) screws, plugs and metal brackets.

1 - Fixing with screws

Using the cardboard template, mark and drill the holes on the wall (2 holes ∅ 8 mm see instructions on the template), insert the plugs in the holes, tighten both 4.2 x 44.4 screws (supplied) leaving about 5 mm unscrewed, hook the hood onto the screws (fig. 1) and secure tightly from inside (fig. 2). Mount the safety square (supplied) above the hood (fig. 3).

2 - Fixing with brackets

Using the cardboard template, mark and drill the holes on the wall (4 holes ∅ 8 mm see instructions on the template), fix the metal brackets with screws and plugs (supplied), hook the hood onto the

brackets (fig. 4). Fix the hood with two knobs (supplied) (fig. 5). Make sure the hood is level and, if necessary, adjust by acting upon the adjustment screws (fig. 6).

3 - Respect warning 2.5.

3.2 - Wall unit installation

Using the cardboard template, mark and drill the bottom of the wall unit, (see instructions on the template). Fasten the hood from inside the unit using four screws 4.2 x 44.4 (supplied) (fig.7). For suction hoods, the wall unit must be drilled to allow for the air discharge duct. Filter hoods do not require this type of drilling operation since the air is recycled into the room through vents situated on the front of the hood.

3.3 - Connecting suction or filter hoods

1 - Connecting suction hoods (air is discharged into the atmosphere)

The hood comes with two air outlets, a plastic cover fitted in the rear hole and a flange to be fitted according to the solution chosen: top discharge (fig. 8), rear discharge (fig. 9). In case of installation with rear discharge, fit the plastic cover in the top hole and the flange in the rear hole. Using a pipe ∅ 100 or 120 mm, connect the air discharge flange to the external discharge duct. Open the grid panel by pressing inwards on the knobs (fig. 10), check that the lever (hood with one motor) or the handle (hood with two motors) points to the ducting mode position (fig. 11), remove the charcoal filter, if any, by turning the handle anti-clockwise (see par.3.3 2 part 2°). Respect warning 2.1

2 - Connecting filter hoods (air is filtered and recirculated inside the room)

Open the grid panel, check that the lever (hood with one motor) or the handle (hood with two motors) points to the filter mode position (fig. 11), insert the charcoal filter (see par.3.3 2 part 2°).

3.4 - Electrical connection and working test

1 - The safety measures 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of paragraph 2 are to be strictly observed. 2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that the worktop illumination, motor and speeds work properly.

1 - SAFETY WARNINGS

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of the Installation Instructions are strictly observed. Moreover, special attention must be paid to the following warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood:

1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4 hours per day). 1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed. Switch off the gas before removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave the hob unattended. 1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame from licking round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration of heat. 1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.

2 - USE

2.1 - Control panel (3 switches) (fig. 12a)

SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumination

SWITCH M = switches the motor on or off

SWITCH V = controls the fan speed

2.2 - Control panel (2 switches) (fig. 12b)

SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumination

SWITCH M = controls the power to the motor and the fan speed

Working speeds:

Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan: the noise level is kept to the minimum.

Position 2 = medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed offers the best ratio between air capacity and noise level.

Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours, even for a long period.

3 - MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance will ensure good performance and extend the working life of the hood. Special attention should be taken to the grease filters and, for the filter hoods only, to the charcoal filters.

3.1 - Synthetic grease filters

1 - They cannot be washed and should be replaced every two months on average. If the filter is equipped with chemical indicators of saturation, replace it when the visible red-coloured dots show all over the surface. 2 - Replacement

Open the grid panel, remove the steel-wire clips and replace the grease filter (fig. 13). Close the grid panel.

3.2 - Metal grease filters

1 - Cleaning

These filters need to be washed with ordinary household detergent every 2 months maximum. Thanks to their reduced dimensions, they can also be washed in the dishwasher.

2 - Removing the filter

Open the grid panel, remove the steel wire clips and the grease filter (fig. 13). Make sure that the filter is dry before replacing it, close the grid panel.

WARNING : Respect replacement and maintenance schedules recommended in order to avoid fire hazards caused by over-saturated filters.

3.3 - Charcoal filters

1 - How they work

Charcoal filters can absorb smells and odours until they are saturated. They cannot be washed or recycled and so they should be replaced at least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is heavily used.

2 - Replacement:

Open the grid panel, replace the charcoal filter by turning the locking handle anti-clockwise for removing and clockwise for replacing (fig. 14). Close the grid panel.

3.4 - Lighting

It is composed of one or two 40 W lamps which can be reached by removing the grid panel (Fig.15). If the lights fail to function, check that they are fully screwed into place. If they have blown, they should be replaced with similar lamps having the same voltage and power.

3.5 - Cleaning

When cleaning the hood:

• Never use a wet cloth or sponge, or running water.
• Never use thinners or products containing alcohol, as they might damage the paintwork.
• Never use abrasive cleaning materials, in particular when cleaning stainless steel surfaces. It is recommended to use a damp cloth and mild liquid household cleaner.
