Frequently Asked Questions - ZHC6235X ZANUSSI

How to clean the grease filters?

The grease filters must be cleaned once a month. Use a non-aggressive detergent, by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. Dishwashing may cause discoloration but does not affect efficiency.

When to replace the charcoal filter?

For the type 15 charcoal filter (non-washable), replace it every 4 months maximum. For type 20 (washable), clean it every 2 months with hot water or in the dishwasher at 65°C, then dry in the oven for 10 minutes at 100°C. Replace the pad every 3 years.

Can I use the hood without the filters?

No, never use the hood without the filters in place. This could damage the motor and pose a fire risk.

How to adjust the suction speed?

Use buttons 3 (minimum), 4 (medium) and 5 (maximum) on the control panel. The maximum speed is recommended for intense vapors. Turn on the hood 5 minutes before cooking and let it run for 15 minutes after.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the hob?

The minimum distance is 50 cm for electric hobs and 65 cm for gas or mixed hobs. Follow the hob manufacturer's instructions if a greater distance is specified.

What to do in case of lighting failure?

The lighting is LED. To replace it, contact the approved technical assistance service. Do not look directly at the LED light.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without an external exhaust duct?

Yes, the hood can operate in filtering mode with an activated charcoal filter to recirculate the air. Make sure the appropriate filter is installed.

How to connect the hood electrically?

The voltage must match that on the rating plate. If a plug is present, connect it to an accessible wall socket. Otherwise, call a qualified electrician for direct connection with a standard circuit breaker.

Can I cleanup the hood with alcohol or abrasive products?

No, never use alcohol or abrasive products. Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Alcohol can damage the surface.

Can the hood be used by children?

Children under 8 years old or without supervision should not use the hood. Persons with reduced capabilities should be supervised or have received safety instructions.
