Gorenje DVG 6565 - User Manual

This document describes the Gorenje DVG 6565 and DVG 8565 cooker hoods, providing detailed information on their function, installation, operation, maintenance, and technical specifications.

Function Description

The Gorenje cooker hood is designed to remove cooking exhalations from the kitchen environment. It can operate in two primary modes:

• Exhaust Mode: In this mode, exhalations are directly vented outside through an exhaustion opening and hose. This requires a connection to a waste air stack.
• Recirculation Mode: When an external waste air stack is not available, the cooker hood can operate in recirculation mode. In this configuration, a carbon filter (purchased separately) is used to absorb kitchen smells from the exhalations. The filtered air is then returned to the room through ventilation openings in the decorative chimney.

The cooker hood features a motor to draw air, lighting to illuminate the cooking surface, and a control panel for various functions.

Usage Features

The cooker hood offers a range of features for user convenience and effective operation:

Control Panel (Fig. 6): The appliance uses a sensor touch control panel.

• S (Power Switch): Switches the cooker hood on/off. It shines with lower intensity when connected to power, and activates when pressed.
• L (Light Switch): Switches the lighting on/off.
• 1, 2, 3 (Capacity Levels): Sensors for setting the capacity level of the motor.
• P (BOOSTER): Activates an increased capacity function for maximum extraction. This function operates for a maximum of 6 minutes, after which it automatically reverts to level 3.
• F (Filter Pollution Signal): A signal light that indicates when the filter needs checking/cleaning. It shines after 100 hours of operation.
• C (CLEAN and FRESH function): Activates a function where the cooker hood switches on for 5 minutes every hour at capacity level 1.
• T (TIMER): Activates a timer function for automatic switching off after 30 minutes. The capacity level can be changed while the timer is active.

Important Operating Notes:

• Simultaneous Operation with Type B Appliances: If a heat source (e.g., gas, oil, solid fuel) that draws combustion air directly from the room is operating simultaneously with the cooker hood in exhaust mode, ensure sufficient air inflow from outside to prevent under-pressure.
• Open Flame: Do not use open flames (e.g., for flambéing) under the cooker hood.
• Automatic Switching Off: If no changes are made to the settings within 5 minutes of switching on, the cooker hood will automatically switch off. A safety switching off also occurs if no changes are made for 48 hours, switching off everything except the CLEAN and FRESH function.
• Touch Control: Keep the control board clean and dry for proper sensor activation.
• Children and Pets: Do not allow children to use or clean the appliance. Prevent undesired switching on, for instance, by pets.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial for the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of the cooker hood.

General Cleaning:

• Always disconnect the appliance from power before cleaning or maintenance.
• Clean internal and external parts with soft cleaning agents.
• Never use abrasive cleaning means.
• Clean glass surfaces with special means for glass, mirrors, and windows.
• Do not use cleaning articles containing aggressive substances, especially chlorine and dissolvents.

Grease Metal Filter (F):

• Catches fat particles.
• Should be cleaned regularly, either manually or in a dishwasher (at 65°C) with appropriate detergents.
• The filter's color may change in a dishwasher, but this does not affect functionality.
• Ensure the filter is thoroughly dry before returning it to the cooker hood.
• Neglected maintenance of the grease filter can lead to fire hazards.

Cassette Carbon Filter (E) (for recirculation mode only):

• Absorbs kitchen smells.
• Never wash the carbon filter.
• Exchange the carbon filter when the "F" symbol lights up on the control board.
• The used carbon filters can be disposed of with normal household waste, in accordance with national standards.

Replacing Halogen Bulb (Fig. 7):

• Disconnect the cooker hood from the power net.
• Carefully shift a flat piece (screwdriver or knife) between the rings of the halogen lighting to free the internal ring with the glass cover.
• Replace the halogen bulb.
• Return the ring with the glass cover to its original location.
• Caution: Do not touch halogen bulbs with bare fingers.

Filter Pollution Signal (F):

• The "F" signal light illuminates after 100 hours of operation, indicating that the metal filter's pollution level should be checked.
• After checking and cleaning the filter, press the "F" sensor for at least 5 seconds to reset the operation hour counter to zero.

Packaging Liquidation:

• Grooved cardboard and packaging paper should be sent to waste collecting companies or collecting vessels for used paper.
• Polystyrene should be sent to corresponding collecting vessels.
• Packaging foil and PE backs should be sent to collecting vessels for plastic.

Appliance Liquidation:

• The appliance is marked in accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE).
• It contains valuable materials that should be reused.
• Deliver the used appliance to a waste processing company.
