Frequently Asked Questions - Bretagne Thermex

What is the minimum distance required between the range hood and a gas hob?

The minimum distance is at least 65 cm. If the gas hob manufacturer specifies a greater distance, that must be followed.

How do I clean the anti-grease filters?

Wash the metallic anti-grease filters at least once a month with hot water and detergent. They are also dishwasher safe. Open by pulling the handle.

Why is the light button LED flashing?

If the light button LED flashes every 30 hours of operation, it indicates that the anti-grease filter needs cleaning. If it flashes every 120 hours, the anti-odor filter (if fitted) needs replacement. To reset, press the light button for 3 seconds when the hood is off.

How do I reset the filter saturation alarm?

With the hood off, press the light button for 3 seconds to reset the alarm after cleaning or replacing the filters.

What is the Clean Air function?

The Clean Air function automatically turns on the hood at first speed for 10 minutes every hour to maintain air quality. Activate it by pressing the timer button for 3 seconds with the hood off. Press any button to disable.

How do I set the 5-minute timer?

Press the timer button (clock icon) to activate the 5-minute timer. The LED will flash, and after 5 minutes the hood (motor and lighting) will switch off automatically. Note: the timer cannot be used during intensive speed.

Can I use the hood without an external motor?

No, this model is designed to be used with an external motor. The motor and hood must not share a common neutral; they must have separate earth connections. The installation must be done by a qualified technician.

How do I replace the LED light?

Disconnect the hood from the power supply. Then, disconnect the connector and replace the LED part with a new one of the same type. Reconnect and restore power.

What precautions should I take when frying under the hood?

Frying must be constantly monitored as oils and fats can ignite under high heat. Never cook directly on a flame or flambé under the hood. Always use the hood with the anti-grease filter in place.

What should I do if the hood is not working?

First, check the power supply and that the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the external motor is properly connected and that the hood and motor are not sharing a common neutral. If problems persist, contact an authorized service technician.

Prosedyre for festing

The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction. This equipment can be used by children aged 8 or more, people with physical, mental and sensory disabilities or inexperienced users it if 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.
• When the range hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.

• 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.
• CAUTION: accessible parts may become hot when used with 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! There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room.
• It is necessary to maintain a depressurized environment of maximum 4 Pa (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, see rating label. 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.
