Frequently Asked Questions - GZ 600B Guzzanti

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

The minimum distance is 55 cm for electric hobs and 65 cm for gas or mixed hobs. If the hob manufacturer specifies a greater distance, that must be adhered to.

How do I clean the grease filter?

The metal grease filter should be cleaned once a month. Use non-aggressive detergents either by hand or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature, short cycle. To remove, pull the spring release handle. Discoloration is normal and does not affect performance.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

In recirculation mode, the charcoal filter must be replaced at least every four months. It cannot be washed or regenerated. Saturation time depends on cooking habits and grease filter cleaning regularity.

How do I replace the LED lights?

First, disconnect the hood from the power supply. Ensure bulbs are cool. Using a flat screwdriver, carefully pry off the light cover. Remove the damaged LED (2W) and replace with a new one, avoiding touching it with bare hands. Snap the cover back in place.

Can I use the hood without the filters?

No, never use the hood without the grease filter properly mounted. The charcoal filter is only required for recirculation mode. Operating without filters may cause fire risk and damage the motor.

What should I do if the lights do not work?

Check that the lamps are fitted correctly into their housings. Ensure the hood is receiving power. If still not working, the LED may be defective; replace it as described in the manual. If problem persists, contact technical service.

How do I set the timer for automatic switch-off?

Turn on the motor using the '+' button to your desired speed. Press the timer button; the display will show a blinking '0'. Use the '+' button to select a number (1=10 min, 2=20 min, etc. up to 9=90 min). Press the timer button again to confirm. The blinking dot next to the speed indicates the timer is active. To cancel, press the timer button again during countdown.

What is the difference between ducting and filter version?

In the ducting version, fumes are expelled outside via a duct connected to the top ring. In the filter version, a charcoal filter purifies the air and recirculates it back into the room through the top grille. The charcoal filter must be removed for ducting operation.

Can I install the hood myself?

Installation should be done by at least two persons due to the heavy weight. Check that the wall or ceiling can support the load. Use the supplied screws and wall plugs appropriate for your surface. Follow all safety instructions and local regulations. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.

What should I do if the hood is not working after installation?

First, check that the power supply is connected and the plug is properly inserted. Ensure the hood is switched on. Verify that the speed button is pressed. If using a wireless connection, check the fuse. If still not working, disconnect power and contact authorised technical service.

Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

Additional Installation Specifications:

Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation or, if not supplied, purchase the correct screws type. Use the correct length for the screws which are identified in the Installation Guide. In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.

WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

USE

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

DUCTING VERSION

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.

! The duct must be made of certified material.

FILTER VERSION

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

INSTALLATION

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 55cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

MOUNTING

Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons. Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
- Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
- Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
- If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
- In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
- Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

OPERATION

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

CLEANING

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

GREASE FILTER

Traps cooking grease particles. The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

CHARCOAL FILTER (filter version only)

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

REPLACING LAMPS

Disconnect the hood from the electricity.

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

• Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover.
- Remove the damaged light and replace with a new LED 2 Watt light. Follow package directions and do not touch new light with bare hands.
- Reinstall the light cover. (it will snap shut).

If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
