Frequently Asked Questions - GHW880BK Glem Gas

How to install the GHW880BK hood?

To install the hood, drill holes A, B and C according to the dimensions in figure 3. Hang the hood on the wall using holes A, then secure it with safety holes B. Connect the 150 mm exhaust duct (or use the reducer for 120 mm). For the recirculation version, install the charcoal filters. Be sure to respect the minimum safety distances.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the cooking surface?

The minimum distance is 40 cm for electric cooktops and 65 cm for gas or mixed cooktops. If the cooktop instructions specify a greater distance, that takes precedence.

How to clean the metal filters?

The metal grease filters should be washed every 3 to 4 weeks. You can wash them in the dishwasher or by hand: soak them in hot water with dish soap, rinse and dry. Do not use brushes to avoid damaging the mesh.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The active charcoal filter is neither washable nor reusable. It must be replaced every three months maximum. Frequency depends on usage and type of cooking.

How to activate the timer?

Press the Timer button (D). The motor will turn off automatically after 15 minutes. At speed 4, the timer activates automatically and the hood switches to speed 3 after 7 minutes. To deactivate the timer, press the Timer button again or change the speed.

What to do if the light flashes?

The flashing light (fig.1-E) indicates it is time to clean the grease filters or change the charcoal filter. To turn off the light, press the lighting button (ON/OFF) for at least 3 seconds.

How to switch to recirculation mode?

To use the hood in recirculation mode, you must install active charcoal filters (sold separately). Remove the metal filters, insert the charcoal filters by twisting them, then put the metal filters back. No external exhaust duct is needed.

What type of bulb to use for lighting?

Use a halogen bulb of 20 W, 12 V, socket GU4. Never replace with a higher wattage bulb to avoid damaging the electrical installation. Disconnect the appliance before any operation.

Can the hood be used without external evacuation?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. In this case, you must install an active charcoal filter. The extracted air is filtered and then returned to the room. Make sure to change the filter regularly.

How to activate the clean air program?

The clean air program activates when the hood is off. Press and hold the «-» and «+» buttons simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The hood will operate at second speed for 10 minutes every hour, for 5 cycles. To deactivate, repeat the same action.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations.

INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS

This hood is prepared to be installed above a hob by fixing it to the wall. It can be installed in two ways:

• EXHAUST MODE: the kitchen vapours are purified by the metal anti-grease filters and carried outside through a ducting system.
• RECIRCULATING MODE: the kitchen vapours are purified by the metal anti-grease filters and an activated carbon filter, then conveyed back into the kitchen.

We suggest to have installation carried out by qualified personnel, in compliance with all the current regulations and in particular with the ones concerning air exhaust.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages caused by improper installation or if it has not been carried out according to the state-of-the-art.

SAFETY

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 40cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers. It is possible to install the hood so that the distance between the cooking top and the fats filter is not less than less than 65 cm in the case of gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. (Fig.10).

• If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part.
• Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other applian-

ces generated by other than an electrical source.

• Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10 -5 bar).
• Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
• Use screws and screw anchors suitable for wall (e.g. reinforced cement, plasterboard) for the mounting of the cooker hood. Where screws and screw anchors are supplied ensure that they are suitable for the type of wall where the cooker hood is to be mounted.

COMPONENTS LIST > see Fig.2

MOUNTING THE COOKER HOOD TO THE WALL

• Drill holes A-B-C according to indications quoted in (fig.3).
• Hang the cooker hood on the wall using the drill holes A (Fig.5).
• Fasten the cooker hood using the fastening drill holes B (Fig.6).
• Connect the flange Y of ∅150 mm (fig.2) to the discharge opening with a connecting tube.

If the apartment is equipped with an external ∅120 mm air duct, apply the reduction fitting provided. (do not carry out the above instructions for recirculating mode).

- Thread the upper chimney E to the inside of the lower chimney F; Insert them vertically on of the cooker hood body (Fig.7).

- Affix the bracket Z (Fig.8) to the wall via the drill holes C.

- Slide the upper chimney E towards the top, locking it in with the appropriate screws in the drill holes of the bracket Z previously affixed to the wall (fig.9).

RECIRCULATING MODE INSTALLATION

In order to transform your cooker hood from the exhaust version to the recirculating version, it is necessary to install activated carbon filters (Fig. 4).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

• The hood has been designed to remove the kitchen smells; any other additional use shall be regarded as non-intended.
• Aerate the room if other appliances that are not supplied by electrical power are being used while the hood is on.
• Do not leave the cooker on if it is not being used.
• Do not flambé food directly under the cooker hood to prevent the grease filter catching fire due to flames.
• Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
• Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
• Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

It is recommended to switch on the appliance before cooking. It is also recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 10 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours. The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.

Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.

WARNING: unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before carrying out maintenance operations.

METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS (Fig.2M)

The metal anti-grease filters capture the grease particles of the vapours that develop during cooking, therefore they are subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.

In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter every 2 months

by carrying out the following instructions:

• Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

The filters may also be washed in a dishwasher.

The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.

ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS (Fig.2L)

(Recirculating mode only)

The activated carbon filters purify the kitchen vapours, the air is then conveyed back into the kitchen.

The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters. The filters are not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months.

To assemble the carbon filter it is necessary to:

- remove the metal anti-grease filters (Fig.2M)

- rotate the 2 carbon filters to remove them (Fig.4)

LIGHTING

• Before undertaking any replacement, always disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
• Replace the lamp with one that has the same features otherwise this may cause severe damage to the electrical system.
• Caution: bulbs might be hot!
