Frequently Asked Questions - ZHC6122X ZANUSSI

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

The minimum distance is 50 cm for an electric hob and 65 cm for a gas or mixed hob. If the hob instructions specify a greater distance, respect that.

How to clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month, by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. The dishwasher may discolor the filter, but this does not affect its efficiency.

When should the activated carbon filter be replaced?

The activated carbon filter is not washable and must be replaced after a maximum of 4 months of use, depending on usage frequency and regularity of cleaning the grease filter.

How to replace the hood bulb?

Unplug the hood, make sure the lamps are cool. Replace the burned-out bulb with an LED bulb of max 3W with E14 socket. Consult the manual for the exact type.

Can I use the hood without external extraction?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode with internal recycling. In this case, the activated carbon filter is mandatory to absorb odors.

Why is the hood making noise?

Excessive noise may come from incorrect installation, clogged filters, or a blocked exhaust duct. Clean the filters and check the duct. If the noise persists, contact technical service.

Is it possible to use the hood without the lamps?

No, it is not recommended to use the hood without the lamps properly mounted, as this may present a risk of electric shock. Replace defective lamps immediately.

What to do in case of persistent kitchen odor?

Check that the activated carbon filter is in good condition and replaced on time. Ensure the hood is used in recirculation mode if no external extraction is installed. Turn on the hood 5 minutes before cooking and let it run for 15 minutes after.

How to connect the hood electrically?

Connect the hood to a standard wall socket accessible after installation. If direct connection is necessary, use a standard circuit breaker. The voltage must match the rating plate.

Is hood maintenance covered by warranty?

Regular cleaning of filters and replacement of consumables (carbon filter, bulb) are generally not covered by the warranty. Refer to the warranty conditions provided with the appliance.
