Frequently Asked Questions - Decor 942 Thermex

How do I install the Thermex Decor 942 range hood?

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional. Follow the dimensional drawings provided in the manual for drilling locations. Ensure no hidden wires, pipes or beams are behind walls. Disconnect the main power before installation.

What type of filters does the Decor 942 use?

It uses metallic anti-grease filters that are washable (monthly) and optional activated carbon filters for recirculation mode (replace every 2 months).

How do I clean the filters?

Remove the metallic filters using the handle. Wash them in hot water with a mild detergent or in a dishwasher. For activated carbon filters, they cannot be washed and must be replaced.

How do I replace the halogen lamps?

Disconnect the hood from the mains and wait for the lamps to cool. Follow the diagram in the manual, using gloves to handle the new bulbs.

Can I use the hood without filters?

No, never operate the range hood without the anti-grease filters. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard.

What is the recommended installation height?

The manual does not specify exact height; however, typical installation for a hood above a gas stove is 65-75 cm, and above an electric stove is 55-65 cm. Refer to local regulations.

Does the Decor 942 require a dedicated electrical circuit?

It requires a 220-240V AC, 50Hz supply with earthing. It is recommended to have an all-pole disconnect switch with at least 3mm contact gap installed in the fixed wiring.

Can I use the hood with a flueless gas heater?

Caution: When using the hood simultaneously with a fuel-burning appliance, ensure proper ventilation to avoid backdraft. The depressurization must not exceed 0.04 mbar. Consult a professional.

What do I do if the hood is not extracting properly?

Check that the filters are clean, the duct is not blocked, and the voltage is stable. If problems persist, contact a qualified technician.

Is the Thermex Decor 942 suitable for outdoor use?

No, this appliance is designed for domestic indoor use only. It should not be exposed to weather or used for commercial purposes.

Prosedyre for festing

This equipment can be used by children aged 8 or more, people with physical, mental and sensory disabilities or inexperienced users it they were instructed under proper supervision or trained on the safe use of the equipment and if they are fully aware of the related risks. Children shall not play with the equipment. The cleaning and maintenance are at user's expense and shall not be performed by unsupervised children.

• As soon as the equipment is delivered, remove the package immediately. Verify its overall aspect and, should any type of anomaly be found, notify it immediately to the sales point or the installer.
• Its equipment is intended for domestic use. It shall not be employed for industrial or professional purposes nor for any other purpose than that for which it has been designed.
• The supplier will not provide any warranty for the consequences and damages caused by an improper installation or a misuse of the equipment.
• Do not attempt to modify the characteristics of this equipment, that would represent a hazard. Repairs shall be exclusively made by a specialized and authorized technician. To avoid risks, the manipulation of the equipment is strictly forbidden so is the replacement of the power cable.
• If the fume hood is not supplied with a power cable and a pin or any other means for the disconnection of the mains power supply, with a separation of the contact between all poles that provides the total disconnection under conditions of overvoltage category III, shall be incorporated to disconnecting means to the fixed system, according to the installation rules (two-pole switch directly connected to power supply terminals which shall have a separation of the contact between poles so as to interrupt the supply of electricity in case of overvoltage category III).
• Once the equipment has been installed, the disconnection of the equipment from the power supply shall be allowed. Disconnection can be

done by keeping the jack accessible or adding a switch to the electric system in accordance with the installation rules.

• If the power cord is damaged, it shall be replaced either by the producer, its customer service or qualified personnel in order to avoid risks.
• It is of vital importance to place particular attention as to where the wall or ceiling will be perforated so as to verify the presence of hidden electrical cables, pipes or iron beams, etc. This may cause serious breakdowns, electrical derivations or the transmission of noises and vibrations.
• IMPORTANT: During the installation phase, before electrically connecting the equipment, always disconnect the power panel that will supply it (differential or thermal-magnetic of the general house switchboard).
• WARNINGS: Always disconnect the exhaust hood from the electrical outlet before proceeding to cleaning and maintenance operations by plugging off the electrical outlet, differential or thermal-magnetic of the general home switchboard. To clean the exhaust hood, never use steam or high-pressure devices (rules regarding electric safety).
• It is forbidden to cook directly on the flame or operate the gas stoves with no container to cook on the same flame (aspirated flames may damage the equipment and the warranty will be cancelled accordingly). The use of the equipment on a fuel stove is not authorized (wood, coal,...).
• Frying under the equipment shall be constantly monitored since oils and fats being subjected to high temperatures may ignite. Do not flame under the exhaust hood.
• Precaution: burns of accessible parts are likely to occur as they can get hot when using cooking appliances.
• Follow the cleaning frequency and filter substitution. The accrual of fat deposits may provoke fires. Never use the exhaust hood without the anti-fat filter.

• The equipment shall abide by the existing rules on the ventilation of closed spaces. Technically, the air expelled shall not pass through the duct used for the discharge of smokes from appliances using gas or any other fuel (central heating systems, etc...).

• Ventilate the environment appropriately in case of a simultaneous operation of the exhaust hood and any other equipment supplied by an energy source other than electricity so that the exhaust hood will not draw gas compounds.

• Attention! During the simultaneous operation of a suction-filtration exhaust hood and a heating system independent of air (gas heaters, oil, coal, chimney, etc...), great attention has to be placed so as to avoid that the exhaust hood does not absorb part of the air intended for the combustion process since dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide may surge within the premises, that would represent a life-threatening danger. When installing an exhaust hood joined or connected to a fuel element such as a heater, chimney or local heating system, it is mandatory to contact the producer or installer of such elements to obtain an optimal and risk-free operation.
• It is necessary to maintain a depressurized environment of maximum 0.04 mbar. Such conditions allow an excellent working of the exhaust hood. In order to achieve such environment a permanent air intake is necessary in order to avoid air stagnation (it is advised to use a ventilation grid for this purpose). Windows or doors shall not be used.
• The electrical supply of the power network shall be stable and cope with the indicated electrical standards, 220/240v AC, 50Hz. Should it be not stable and receive voltage variations in the supply, intensity or frequency such as armonici, transistor, voltage dips, overloads, electrical storms, etc..., the hood may show malfunctions or even breakdowns, and the repair would not be covered by the warranty. In that case, the exhaust hood shall be disconnected and the company must contact an electrician or electrical company in order to solve the supply problem.
• The hood is a household appliance act to extract smoke, it can not be used as support element of objects or utensils.
• In the constant effort to improve our products, we reserve the right to make changes following their enhancement to their technical, functional and aesthetic characteristics.

Tips for Energy Saving

• Always use the cover corresponding to each pot. When cooking without a lid, the energy consumpon is somewhat greater.
  • Use a glass lid to see inside without having to li it.
  • Use containers atbed. If the base is not at, the energy consumpon is greater.
• For small amounts, use small pans. A large bowl and lled just needs a lot of energy.
• For cooking, use a lile water. Thus, it saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
