Question 1

The power button on my SAUTER SHG 501 X is stuck, how can I unstick it?

Accepted Answer

The D button (power button and speed selection) can get stuck due to grease buildup around the mechanism. Here’s how to unstick it without damaging it:

Steps to follow:

Completely turn off the hood and unplug it from the electrical outlet for your safety.
Gently clean the D button with a soft, dry cloth, paying special attention to the edges where grease accumulates.
If the button remains stuck, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) and wipe around the button without pouring any liquid directly into it.
Let it dry for a few minutes, then try to operate the D button with slow and steady movements (without forcing) to gradually free it.

What to absolutely avoid:

Do not pour water directly onto the button or into the control panel.
Do not force the button at the risk of breaking the internal mechanism.
Do not use harsh detergents or strong chemicals.

If the button remains stuck after these attempts, contact SAUTER technical service at 0892 02 88 05 for a replacement of the control panel or professional repair.

Question 2

My SAUTER SHG 501 X hood is no longer ventilating, how can I fix it?

Accepted Answer

If your SAUTER SHG 501 X hood is no longer ventilating, check these points in order:

1. Check the power supply and speed selection

Make sure the hood is properly plugged in and there is no power outage.
Press the D button to turn on the motor. This button allows you to select speeds 1 to 4.

2. Check the condition of the filters

Clogged filters reduce or completely block ventilation:

Grease filter: Clean every 2 months. Push the handle back and then lower it towards you to remove it. Wash it in the dishwasher in an upright position or by hand with a household detergent.
Charcoal filter (recirculation mode): Replace every 6 months. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it. This filter is not washable and must be replaced.

3. Check the maintenance indicator

The central segment of the display lights up to signal you:

Steady light after 30 hours of use: clean the grease filters.
Flashing light after 120 hours: clean the filters AND replace the charcoal filter.

To reset, press and hold the R button for 2 seconds.

4. If the problem persists

Check that the omnipolar cut-off system has not been triggered. If ventilation remains blocked despite these checks, contact a qualified technician noting the reference of your hood (SHG 501 X) and your serial number listed on the nameplate inside the hood.
