Frequently Asked Questions - GDS 2440 B GRUNDIG

How do I clean the grease filter?

Remove the grease filter by pushing the lock forward and pulling it down. Wash it with liquid detergent or in the dishwasher. Rinse, dry, and reinstall. Clean at least once a month.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

Replace the carbon filter every 3 months. It cannot be washed. Remove the grease filter first, then turn the carbon filter counterclockwise to remove it. Install a new one and replace the grease filter.

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

The minimum distance is 65 cm. For gas hobs, measure from the grate; for electric hobs, from the glass surface. If the gas hob instructions specify a greater distance, follow that.

How do I replace the LED lamp?

Disconnect power. Push the lamp holder downwards, turn it counterclockwise, and remove the bulb. Install a new 5 W LED lamp (GZ10 base) by reversing the steps. Avoid touching the new bulb directly.

Can I use the hood without ducting?

Yes, for recirculation mode. Install a carbon filter and remove the flaps inside the flue adapter. The air is filtered through the carbon filter and returned to the room.

Why isn't the hood working?

Check the fuse and electrical connection (220-240 V). Ensure other kitchen appliances work. If not, contact an electrician. Also verify the plug is fully inserted.

How do I adjust the speed?

Press the On/Off button for speed 1 (B), then use buttons C and D for speeds 2 and 3 respectively. Use lower speeds for normal conditions and higher speeds for strong odours or vapours.

What should I do if the air intake is poor?

Check the aluminum grease filter (clean if dirty), ensure the air vent flue is open, and if using carbon filter, replace it if it's more than 3 months old.

Is the hood safe to use with gas hobs?

Yes, but ensure the negative pressure in the room does not exceed 4 Pa when both are operating. The exhaust of other fuel-burning devices must be isolated or the device must be hermetically sealed.

What are the packaging materials?

The packaging is made from recyclable materials. Dispose of them at designated collection points. Do not mix with household waste. Keep packaging away from children (choking hazard).

B: On/Off and 1. Stage Button	By pressing this button, you start the device and make it work at the 1st speed level.
C: 2. Stage Button	By pressing this button, you enable the device to operate at the 2nd speed level.
D: 3. Stage Button	By pressing this button, you enable the device to operate at the 3rd speed level.

3.3 Operating the hood

- Your appliance contains a motor that has various speeds.

- For better performance, we recommend using low speeds under normal conditions and high speeds in cases of strong odours and intense vapour.

- You can start your appliance by pressing on the desired speed setting button. (B, C, D)

- You may illuminate the cooking area by pressing the lamp (A).

3.2 Energy efficient usage

- When operating the hood, adjust the speed level according to the odour and vapour intensity in order to prevent unnecessary power consumption.

- Use low speeds in normal conditions (B-C), and high speed (D) when smell and vapours are intensified.

- Lamps on the hood are intended for illuminating the cooking zone.

- Using them to illuminate the ambient/kitchen will result in unnecessary power consumption and inadequate illumination.

- For your device to consume less energy, run it at

a low speed level.

- Your device will reduce energy consumption as it will run more efficiently when you provide sufficient air intake to it.

- Set your device to the intense suction power level before the formation of steam, in cases where you know that the dense steam will occur. So, you reduce energy consumption by using your device for a shorter time as it will have a sufficient air intake.

- Keep the lids of the cookware closed to reduce the steam evolving.

3.4 Replacement of Lamp

- Before replacing the light bulbs, disconnect the power supply of the hood.

- Do not touch the light bulbs when they are hot.
