Frequently Asked Questions - Metz Micro Thermex

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

For gas hobs, the minimum distance from the burner edge to the underside of the hood is 65 cm in accordance with EN 60335-2-31. Thermex recommends 50–70 cm for cabinet-integrated models, and up to 3 m for ceiling-integrated models.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the grease filter behind the glass plate and the filter in the base by pulling the locking mechanism. Wash in warm soapy water with a soft brush, rinse, and dry. They can also be washed in a dishwasher, though slight discoloration may occur but does not affect performance.

How often should I replace the recirculation filters?

Recirculation filters cannot be washed and must be replaced when needed. Thermex recommends replacing them 2–4 times per year.

Can I use an external motor from another supplier?

Yes, but the motor MUST be compatible with the hood. If it is not compatible, the warranty becomes invalid. Always check compatibility before installation.

How do I reverse the exhaust outlet?

Remove the motor box from the hood, undo screws to remove the motor, then remove the flange on the side of the motor box (note the nuts inside). Install the flange on the opposite side, reposition the motor so the exhaust exits from the desired side, and reinstall the motor box.

What should I do if the brackets don't click into place?

If the brackets do not click, use a screwdriver through the two holes in the hood to press up on the installation screws holding the brackets until they lock into position.

How do I connect the hood to power?

Connect the hood using the attached plug. If the plug has an Earth terminal, the hood must be earthed. For models with an external motor, do NOT use a common zero for hood and motor as it will affect operation.

What if the hood does not work after installation?

First, disconnect power for about 5 minutes and reconnect to see if the problem clears. If not, disconnect power for one hour. If it still does not work, check the troubleshooting charts in the manual and contact Thermex service with your model, serial number, and proof of purchase.

Can I wash the recirculation filters?

No, recirculation filters cannot be washed. They must be replaced when needed. Only grease filters can be washed.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on the chassis plate of the hood. You will need this along with the model and type when contacting service.

GENERAL WARNING

• This hood has been developed and produced in accordance with DS/EN 60335-1.
• This hood is intended for home use only. Using for other purposes will make the warranty invalid.
• All installations must be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with the instructions set out by Thermex Scandinavia A/S (Thermex) and the Laws in force.
• Thermex disclaims any liability for damage resulting from improper installation, assembly, operation or incorrect settings.

BEFORE INSTALLATION/OPERATION

• Check the hood for transport damage, defects and missing parts immediately upon receipt.
• Transport damage should be reported immediately to the transport company and Thermex upon receipt.
• Any defects and/or missing parts should be reported to Thermex within 8 days of receipt and prior to installation/operation.

INSTALLATION

• The hood is designed to operate at 230 volts ± 10% \~ 50 Hz ± 10% in accordance with EN 50160
• Connect the hood with the attached plug. NOTE: If the plug has an Earth terminal, the hood MUST be earthed.
• For models with an external motor it is important NOT to use common zero when installing the hood and motor, as this will affect operation.
• When using an external motor from another supplier, the motor MUST be compatible with the selected hood. Failure to comply with this will invalidate the warranty.
• The hood must not be connected to the mains before installation is complete.
• The air must not be discharged from the hood into a pipe used for extraction from devices using gas or other combustible materials. Such devices must have a separate vent.
• The national law and building regulations etc. for air emissions must be observed.

• Always use the original exhaust measurements. Reduction of the exhaust size will reduce performance and increase sound levels.
- The exhaust from the hood to the outside should be as short as possible in order to maximise the efficiency of the hood.
- The number of bends on the exhaust should be minimal in order to maximise the efficiency of the hood.
- Thermex recommends that vent hoses insulated against noise and condensation for all bushings in unheated rooms are always used.
- Thermex recommends using a silencer when flexible hoses are used in order to minimise sound levels.
- When using flexible hoses, always ensure that they have been fully extended in order to minimise air resistance and thereby maximise suction performance.
- Different materials require different rawlplugs and screws. Rawlplugs and screws suitable for the material onto which the hood will be mounted on must be used.
- If the instructions for the installation of screws and fittings are not followed, it may result in electrical shock.
- The minimum distance to gas hobs from the burner's edge to the underside of the hood MUST be a minimum of 65 cm in accordance with EN 60335-2-31.
- For cupboard-integrated, suspended and wall-mounted hoods, Thermex recommends that the distance between the hob and cooker hood is between 50 cm and 70 cm in order to ensure maximum suction.
• Always check the minimum distance between the hob and the cooker hood, as indicated in the instructions for the hob. The instructions for the hob MUST be observed if a greater distance than that recommended by Thermex is indicated in this manual.
• Thermex recommends that the distance between the hob and the hood should not exceed 3 metres for ceiling-integrated models.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Always disconnect power before cleaning.
- The hood must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimal operation and long service life.
- Grease and dust debris are collected in the filter and may risk igniting with insufficient cleaning.
- The hood should be cleaned inside and out frequently to avoid grease stains on walls or other surfaces.

DAILY CLEANING

• For cupboard-integrated, free-hanging and wall-mounted hoods, Thermex recommends that the grease filter be wiped with a damp cloth after each cooking session. It requires very little effort every day to keep your cooker hood clean and effective.
  • Steel surfaces are cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent and treated with 3M Polish.
  • Lacquered surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent/washing-up liquid. Never use abrasives.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS

Grease filters should be cleaned as needed. Thermex recommends as a minimum that the filter is cleaned at the following intervals, depending on the fat used for frying:

• Frying margarine - filter cleaned every 3 weeks
• Liquid margarine - filter cleaned every 2 weeks
• Oil - filter cleaned once per week
- Deep fat frying - filter cleaned 2-3 times per week

The grease filters are cleaned in the following way:

• Remove the grease filter behind the glass plate and the filter in the base by pulling on the filter-locking mechanism to loosen the filter from the hood.
• Place the filters in warm soapy water and clean if necessary with a soft brush.
• Rinse with warm water.
• Leave the filters to dry on a dishcloth or similar.
• Repeat the process if necessary.
• Re-attach the filters..

The filters can also be washed in the dishwasher, although please note that machine washing can result in discolouration of the filters. Discolouration of the filters does not affect performance.

REPLACING THE RECIRCULATION FILTERS

If recirculation filters are used, these cannot be washed, but must be replaced when needed. Thermex recommends that the recirculation filters are replaced at least 2-4 times per year.
