Frequently Asked Questions - GHP945BK AIRLUX

At what height should the GHP945BK hood be installed above the cooker?

The minimum safety distance between the cooking surface and the hood is 650 mm. If your cooker specifies a greater distance, always respect the larger.

How to clean the grease filters?

Grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months (or more often if used intensively). They are dishwasher safe. Ensure they are completely dry before putting them back.

When should the active carbon filter be replaced?

The active carbon filter is neither washable nor renewable. It should be replaced approximately every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is used intensively.

Can I use the hood with a gas cooker?

Yes, but ensure the room is properly ventilated to prevent gas backflow. The negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

Do not use it. Have it replaced only by the manufacturer or an authorized technician to avoid any risk of electric shock.

Does the hood require earthing?

Yes, because the hood is Class I. Ensure your domestic electrical installation has a compliant earth connection.

How to change the lighting bulb?

For safety reasons, the replacement of the lighting must be carried out by an authorized after-sales service. Contact customer service for any intervention.

Can I exhaust the air into an existing chimney?

No, the hood must never be connected to flues used for combustion exhaust (boiler, fireplace, etc.). Use a dedicated duct.
