Frequently Asked Questions - GDHA 60 UCH BELLING

How do I install the Belling GDHA 60 UCH range hood?

Installation should be done by a qualified technician. The hood must be mounted at least 65 cm above the cooking hob. Ensure proper ducting for exhaust mode or use charcoal filters for recirculation. Follow the manual's step-by-step instructions for wall mounting and electrical connection.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

Clean the aluminum grease filters every month or more frequently if cooking heavily. They can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, the GDHA 60 UCH can be used in recirculation mode. You need to install activated charcoal filters (sold separately) to remove odors. The filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on usage.

What type of ducting is required for exhaust mode?

For exhaust mode, connect the hood to an external duct using rigid or flexible aluminum ducting with a diameter of 150 mm. Ensure the duct is as short and straight as possible for optimal performance.

The hood is noisy. What should I do?

Check if the grease filters are clean and properly installed. Ensure the ducting is not blocked or kinked. If the noise persists, contact customer support as it may indicate a motor issue.

How do I replace the LED lamps?

First, disconnect the hood from the power supply. Locate the lamp cover and remove it. Pull out the faulty LED lamp and insert a new one of the same type (GU10 or similar, check manual). Replace the cover and reconnect power.

What does the warranty cover?

The warranty typically covers manufacturing defects for 2 years from purchase. It does not cover damage from improper installation, misuse, or normal wear such as filters and lamps. Keep your receipt.

Can I control the hood with a remote?

No, the GDHA 60 UCH does not include remote control. It is operated via the front panel controls (sliders or buttons). Some models may support optional wireless adapters, but check the manual.

What is the maximum extraction capacity?

The maximum extraction capacity is approximately 600 m³/h, which is suitable for kitchens up to 20 m². The actual performance depends on ducting and installation.

How do I reset the filter alarm?

If your model has a filter saturation indicator, reset it after cleaning or replacing filters. Usually, press and hold the - button or a dedicated reset button for 3 seconds. Refer to the manual for exact steps.

Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all packaging and protective polythene film.

This appliance has been designed for use as an exhausting (air evacuation to the outside) or filtering (indoor air re-cycling) hood.

Note: This appliance does not come supplied with a ducting kit or carbon filters. Details for ordering these parts are at the back of the handbook.

Because of the complexity and weight of the appliance, it is recommended that the installation be carried out by specialist personnel.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depends on the air in the environment. The cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace needs 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 cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network review the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to confirm that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

If the power supply cable is damaged it must be replaced. This can be obtained direct from the manufacturer.

This device must be connected to the supply network through either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 phase spur protected by 3A fuse.

2. Warning!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.
D) Avoid free flame as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.
E) Do not leave food frying unattended as the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical connection prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels other than electric.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

- Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.

- Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.

• Electric Connection:

- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The power point must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.

- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral.

- If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance between the same and the lower part of the hood must be at least 65 ~cm (Fig.1). If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part.

Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.

Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.2) so that the unit is easier to handle.

- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.

FIG.2

- We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.

- If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations supplied with a centralised suction device perform the following operations:

- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using a thermo electrical device. By placing the switch in the ON position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.

- Installation steps:

FIG.3

FIG.4

Before installation, drill the hole in the kitchen cabinet following the drawing shown in figure 3.

Unscrew the 4 screws on the inside of the panel, unplug the lamp and the connector of the switch and then remove the front panel Figure 4.

FIG.5

Place the hood at the center of the cabinet hole, then fix it to the cabinet with 12 screws (Fig.5).

FIG.7

FIG.6

Plug the lamp and the connector of the switch, place the front panel and align it with the cabinet holes, then tighten the 4 screws and install the filter (Fig.6).

Connect the flange to the air exhaust hole using a connection pipe, straighten it in order to reach at least 70 mm, and shrunk the rest ducting pipe at the outlet on the wall (Fig. 7).

- Filtering version:

The filters must be applied to the suction unit positioned inside the hood. They must be centred by turning them 90 degrees until the stop catch is tripped (Fig.8).

Before cleaning or maintenance switch off the electricity supply.

Replacing the LED Lights

If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of a specialised technician is necessary to replace them

Outer Casing

All external parts of the outer casing can be safely cleaned with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, wire wool, hard implements or any products containing chlorides as they will damage the surfaces.

Stubborn marks can be removed using a stainless steel cleaner. We recommend that you clean the whole of the stainless steel area to maintain a uniform finish.

Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but marks will become less noticeable with time.

To maintain the finish of the stainless steel, or to remove any greasy marks, wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly with a minimum amount of Baby Oil and kitchen paper.

Do not use cooking oils, as these may contain salt, which can damage the stainless steel surface.

Before cleaning or maintenance switch off the electricity supply.

To avoid any fire risk, the following cleaning instructions must be followed:

Grease Filters

The grease filters absorb grease and dust from cooking fumes, which would otherwise damage the inside of the hood.

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned regularly - with normal use, this should be every 2 months.

To clean use warm soapy water, or wash in a dishwasher. The grease filters may slightly change colour following washing, however this does not affect their performance.

Important: Frequent washing is essential to prevent a build-up of grease in the filters which could become a fire hazard.

1. Remove the filters from the hood.

2. Carefully wash the grease filters in hot soapy water and dry with a clean towel.

3. Refit the clean filters.

Carbon Filters (models installed for use with the re-circulation method only)

The carbon filters absorb cooking odours and need renewing after about 6 months of normal use.

Replacement carbon filters can be obtained from our Customer Care (details at the rear of the handbook).

Saturation of the activated charcoal in the filter will depend on how often the hood is used, the type of kitchen and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter.

The carbon filters cannot be washed - renew every 6 months.
