Frequently Asked Questions - BRU5G BLANCO

What is the recommended distance between the range hood and the cooktop?

The minimum distance is 65 cm. If your hob instructions specify a greater distance, follow that instead.

How often should I clean the aluminum grease filters?

Clean the aluminum filters every 2 months. Soak them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, then rinse and dry. They can also be washed in the dishwasher.

How often should I replace the carbon filters?

Replace the active carbon filters every 4 months. They are not washable or reusable. Replacement frequency may vary depending on usage.

What type of ducting is recommended?

Use galvanised or similar metal flue pipe. PVC pipe is not recommended. Keep ducting as short and straight as possible; avoid 90° bends.

What should I do if the power cord is damaged?

The supply cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazard.

Can I use the range hood with a gas cooktop?

Yes, but ensure adequate room ventilation. The negative pressure must not exceed 4 Pa. Do not discharge exhaust into a flue used for gas or other fuel fumes.

How do I install the range hood under a cupboard?

Use 4 appropriate screws to fix the hood into the lower part of a hanging cupboard. Drill holes as per the manual (fig.1 and 2). For recirculation, connect the air release pipe through the cupboard.

Is earthing required for this range hood?

No, it is a Class II appliance (double insulated). The connection is BROWN (L) and BLUE (N). If using a plug, it must be accessible after installation.

What is the purpose of the carbon filter in recirculation mode?

The active carbon filter purifies the air by absorbing odors before recirculating it back into the kitchen. Note that air movement may be reduced with carbon filters fitted.

How long should I run the range hood after cooking?

It is recommended to leave the appliance on for 15 minutes after cooking to completely eliminate vapors and odors.

GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed as a suction version (external exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) rangehood.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the rangehood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the rangehood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the rangehood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

General Warnings.

- The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

· Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

- There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

- Ensure that the range hood is cleaned frequently.

- There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

· Do not flambé under the range hood.

Warnings for Installation:

- The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

- The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the rangehood must be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for the hob specify a greater distance, please consider this.

· The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electric Connection

The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The connection to the mains is carried out as follows: BROWN = L line BLUE = N neutral if not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the rangehood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical network.

If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the rangehood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.

MOUNTING OF THE HOOD IN THE LOWER PART OF A HANGING CUPBOARD

This appliance has to be built in the lower part of a hanging cupboard or in another support. For the fixing use 4 screws, which are appropriate to that kind of cupboard, drilling the holes corresponding to fig.1 and 2.

it 90 degrees until the stop click is heard to lock it (F) fig. 3. Remove the grills (G) fig. 3 to carry out this operation. The air is released in the room through a connecting pipe, which goes through the hanging cupboard and which is connected to the connecting ring supplied (B) fig. 1.

Rangehood Installation

Exercise care when a rangehood is installed in an area where a gas burner is operating. Depending

performance when ducting it is important the ducting that carries the fumes away, be as short and as straight as possible.

When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be considered to achieve the most benefit from the rangehood.

1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air, should not exceed a length of three (3) metres.
2. For ducted installation we recommend using galvanised or similar metal type flue pipe. PVC pipe is not recommended.
3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in efficiency of approximately 35%. Additional 90° degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.
4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturers specification.
5. We recommend carbon filters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be some loss of air movement when carbon filters are fitted.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking. It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours. The proper function of the rangehood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations. In particular, the active carbon filter,
  • The aluminium filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance. In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
• Remove the aluminium filters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
• The aluminium filters may also be washed in the dishwasher. The aluminum panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The carbon filters are not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a cloth moistened with a non abrasive liquid detergent.
  • The rangehood lighting is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of the environment. Prolonged use of the lighting notably reduces the duration (life) of the bulb.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
