Gorenje 1S40BB 2SE ASC D, Manual

USE 

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version. 

 Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring 
located on top of the hood. 

Attention

! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. 

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. 
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed. 

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). 
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance 
and a drastic increase in noise. 

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.  

! 

Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. 

! 

Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°). 

! 

Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. 

 Filter version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room. 
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal. 

INSTALLATION 

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the 
range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers. 
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. 

  Electrical connection 

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug 

connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If 

it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation,  apply a 

double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions 

relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions. 

Warning!

 Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that 

the mains cable is correctly assembled. 

The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service. 

Mounting 

Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons. 
Before beginning installation: 

• 

Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. 

• 

Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you 
want lo use the hood in the filtering version. 

•  Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), 

guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them. 

  
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must 
verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take 
the weight of the hood. 

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.
