Frequently Asked Questions - GHV62B GORENJE

What is the minimum installation height above the hob?

The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the hood is 45 cm for electric cookers and 50 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Always follow the hob manufacturer's instructions if they specify a higher distance.

How do I clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it in a dishwasher on a low temperature (max 70°C) and short cycle. Use non-aggressive detergents. After washing, dry it in an oven at max 100°C for one hour. Replace it every 2 years.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter (used in recirculating mode) should be replaced every 4 months or when the saturation indicator (T9 flashing) alerts you. It cannot be washed or regenerated.

Can the hood be used in ducted or recirculating mode?

Yes, the GHV62B can be used both as a ducting version (fumes expelled outside) and as a filter version (recirculating). In filter version, you need to install a charcoal filter (not supplied).

How do I activate the auto ventilation function?

Press the T3 button. The hood will start at speed 2 and automatically adjust based on a sensor. To deactivate, press T3 again. If the sensor fails, an acoustic signal sounds for 10 seconds.

What do the different timer settings do?

Press T8 repeatedly to set a timer for 10, 20, or 30 minutes. After the set time, the hood switches off automatically. The timer works only when the hood is on (not during timing or auto ventilation).

How do I calibrate the sensor?

With the motor off, press T4 for 5 seconds. Calibration lasts 15 minutes with the motor running. Perform this at first switch-on, when changing hob type, or if auto ventilation malfunctions. Calibrate in an odor-free environment.

What do the filter saturation indicators mean?

The grease filter indicator (T9 lit) lights after 40 hours of use, prompting a wash. The charcoal filter indicator (T9 flashing) warns after 160 hours, prompting replacement. Reset by pressing T9 with the hood off.

What should I do if the lights don't work?

The hood uses integrated LED lights that cannot be replaced by the user. If they fail, contact Technical Service for replacement.

Is it safe to use the hood with gas hobs?

Yes, but ensure the room is well-ventilated. The hood must not be used simultaneously with gas appliances unless sufficient ventilation is provided. Never use open flames under the hood, and monitor frying to prevent oil fires.

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 45cm from electric cookers and 50cm 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.

This model is equipped with a perimetric suction panel.

The panel allows to optimize the performances of the hood.

T1 - ON/Stand By

- select T1 to access, set and start any function of the hood:

the control icons, which can be selected by the user, will be lit (low intensity light)

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.

Panel

Fig. 8-18

Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency as the ant-fats filter, using a cloth and not too concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.

Grease filter

Fig. 9-17

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned at least once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system - envisaged on the model in possession - indicates this necessity), using non-aggressive detergents, in a dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle (Tmax: 70°C).

When washed in a dishwasher, metal parts may discolour slightly.

The filter must be dried in an oven for one hour at a max temperature of 100^ C; if the filter is still moist, repeat the operation.

Replace the filter at least every 2 years.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 16

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 mounths (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Circular carbon filter

Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the motor impeller, then turn clockwise.

For the disassembly, turn counter-clockwise.

Replacing lamps

The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology.

The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.

For replacement, contact the technical service.
