Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme

situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

Use

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

Extraction 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.

CAUTION!

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.

CAUTION!

If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Filtration 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.

Note: The recycled air in the charcoal filter is sent back to the kitchen through a duct which conveys air on a side of the cabinet (Picture 11).

Non-return valve locking

Attention, before connecting the flexible air outlet pipe make sure that the non-return valves of the suction unit can freely rotate (Picture 12).

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

Note: The installation must be performed so that accessibility to the hood and its electronic components is always ensured for possible technical assistance interventions.

When installing the product, it is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 400mm between the worktop and any components laid on top of the hood.

This is to let the suction panel move upwards (opening) and downwards (closing) without any obstacles, and to facilitate access to the hood controls on the panel.

WARNING: Put the metal box containing the electronic components at a distance not shorter than 65 cm from the gas hob or 65 cm from the hood suction point.

The minimum distance between downdraft edge and hob edge must be at least 50mm.

RECOMMENDATION: We recommend you to install the metal box containing the electronic components at a distance of at least 10 cm from the ground and sufficiently from all the sources of heat (e.g.: side of an oven or hob).

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The hood must be connected to the mains supply by qualified and trained technicians.

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.

Note: in applications with a remote GME motor, connect the cable of the motor unit in the designated terminal board located inside the plastic box in the downdraft's wiring. Make sure you follow the colours of the cables during the connection.

Fig. 21

Caution! Do not cut the cable between the hood and the engine to avoid losing your right to warranty!

Mounting

Before starting to mount the appliance, make sure that no component is damaged, otherwise contact the dealer and stop mounting. In addition, read all the instructions below carefully.

- Use an air outlet pipe no longer than 5 metres.

- Limit the number of curves in the duct since each curve

reduces the suction effectiveness equivalent to 1 linear metre. (E.g.: if two 90° curves are used, the duct should be no longer than 3 metres).

• Avoid drastic changes of direction.
• Use a duct with 150mm diameter constant for the whole length.
• Use a duct made of standard complying material.
• Remove the safety shim highlighted in the picture (Fig. 1-2) at the end of the installation.
• In case of failure to observe the instructions above, the supplier can not be held responsible for capacity or noise problems and no warranty will be granted.
• Before making the hole, make sure that the inside of the cabinet, near the hood housing area, does not have the structure of the cabinet or other particulars which may cause problems for the proper installation. Make sure that the overall dimensions of the hood and the hob ae compatible with the cabinet and therefore the installation is feasible.
• Perform, in the back of the hob, a rectangular hole with the following dimensions: (Fig. 20)

Hood 60cm Model: 542x100mm.

Hood 90cm Model: 842x100mm.

Hood 120cm Model: 1142x100mm

• Install the hood in the hole made, inserting it from above, as shown (Fig. 3). In case of version with motor on board, it is necessary to remove the suction unit before inserting the product into the cabinet.
- Fix the hood inside the cainet using the special brackets supplied (Fig. 4). Start mounting the brackets in the lower part of the hood (Fig. 5a) making sure that there is a distance of 2mm between the lower part of the bracket and the cabinet bottom (Fig. 5b). This distance allows the traction of the product downwards on fixing, (Fig. 5c), so that the stainless steel frame adheres perfectly on the worktop.
- Before inserting the screws into the cabinet, make sure that the product is perfectly perpendicular to the worktop.
- After completing the installation and connecting the product to the power supply, lift the hood and remove the door lock (Fig. 6).
- In case of version with motor on board start mounting the motor unit directing the air outlet to the chosen position downwards or upwards (Fig. 7b). The motor can be installed on both the front side and the back one of the hood. Once the installation of the motor has been completed, start mounting the duct for the air outlet.
- In case of version with external motor put the suction unit (external motor) in a suitable area and arrange the air outlet duct. Start mounting the air outlet duct between the external motor and the hood. Select the air outlet among the five possibilities (Fig. 7a) and install the union supplied.
- Put the metal box containing the electronic components in an easily accessible area for any assistance operations (Fig. 8), connecting the electric connectors of the same to the hood: pushbutton panel connector (Fig. 9a), 9-pole connector (Fig. 9b), neon connector (Fig. 9c)

• In case of installation with remote motor, connect the power unit cable to the special connector placed on the electronic components box (Fig.10a)
• Connect the product to the power supply

Operation

The hood is equipped with a "TOUCH" device to control the lights and speed.

For the correct use please carefully read the intructions below.

Icon showing a speaker with signal waves and a remote control device (no text or symbols)

This product is designed to work with an Elica remote control, either supplied with the product or purchased separately as an optional.

To control the hood via remote control, the affiliation procedure must be carried out.

CAUTION!

To begin, the hood must be disconnected and then reconnected to the power supply and the affiliation procedure must be carried out within the first minute of connection to the power.

Read the instructions supplied with the remote control, which provide detailed instructions on affiliation and correct use.

• Key T1: delays hood switching off timing the speed set for some minutes.

By such function, when the timing is elapsed, the hood switches off.

The timing is divided as follows:

• suction speed (power) 1: 20 minutes
• suction speed (power) 2: 15 minutes
• suction speed (power) 3: 10 minutes
• suction speed (power) 4: 5 minutes

PLEASE NOTE: When operating the timer, the hood might switch to a lower intake speed (power) before turning off, as on some speeds there is already a timing on the speed reduction itself.

When keys T2 and T3 are pressed, the hood leaves the timed function and the suction speed (power) increases or decreases according to the key pressed. During the timing phase the LED related to the corresponding speed flashes.

• Key T2: Decreases the active suction speed (power) (4→3→2→1→OFF).

The speed is displayed through the LED related to the corresponding speed.

Key T2 has no effect on the opening/closure of the suction panel.

• Key T3: Increases the active suction speed (power) (1→2→3→4).

The speed is displayed through the LED related to the corresponding speed.

Note: (only for models fitted with a motor or a remote GME 22):

Suction speed 4 (power) is timed for 6 minutes, after which the hood will automatically switch to suction speed 3 (power).

Note: (only for remote GME 88):

Suction speed 3 (power) is timed for 7 minutes, after which the hood will automatically switch to suction speed 2 (power).

Suction speed 4 (power) is timed for 6 minutes, after which the hood will automatically switch to suction speed 2 (power).

Note: If the panel is closed (hood is off) key T3 activates the opening of the suction panel first and then sets the hood to the suction speed (power) 1.

• Key T4*: Switches on the light

Note: If the suction panel is closed (hood is off) key T4 activates the opening of the suction panel first and then switches on the light.

• Key T5: Opens (Lifts) and closes (lowers) the suction panel.

With the hood switched off and the panel closed, key T5 opens the suction panel first and then sets the hood to the suction speed (power) 1.

With the hood switched on (at any speed) and the panel open, key T5 switches off the hood first (and, if they are on, it switches off the lights as well) and then closes the suction panel.

* Depending on the model available.

Additional operating information

During the removal of the front panel due to cleaning and maintenance operations, all the electronic functions of suction and movement are locked.

Anti-pinch safety: if an obstacle obstructs the closure of the Downdraft, the closure is stopped and the trolley goes up.

Grease Filter saturation signal.

Every 40 hours of use the hood signals the need for maintenance of the grease filter.

The signal is by making all the suction speed LEDs (powers) flash contemporaneously.

Reset of the grease filter signal

After carrying out the maintenance of the grease filter, press key T1 for more than 3" in order to reset the signal.

Note: The signal is not displayed with hood switched off (OFF), regardless of the position of the suction panel.

Operation anomalies

The hood does not work

Make sure that:

• There is no current blackout
• A speed has been effectively selected.
- The panel is correctly hooked.
- The 9-pole connection is well inserted (Picture 9b).
- The red reset key above the electric system box is pressed.
- The wires in the 9-pole connection are well inserted into the connector. (During connection, exerting an overpressure may cause the contacts to bend).

The hood has low efficiency

Make sure that:

• The motor speed selected is sufficient for the quantity of fumes present
• The kitchen is aired enough to allow an air intake and the charcoal filter is not worn out (filter version hood).
  • The air outlet pipe is not clogged.
• The suction unit non-return valves can rotate freely.

The hood stops during operation

Make sure that:

• There is no current blackout
- The differential magnetothermal switch (automatic circuit breaker) has not been released.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Grease filter

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

When inserting and removing grease filters and charcoal filters, please make sure that the extractable unit of the hood is in open position. In order to do this, pull the OFF (T5) key.

Then remove the front panel, by pulling on the upper part of each side at the same time (Fig.13).

The panel turns forward, so that grease filters can be inserted (Fig.14).

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.

The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months.

The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

After removing the grease filter, it is possible to insert the charcoal filters (Fig. 15) (not supplied).

Replacing lamps

(Depending on the model available). Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as specified in the feature label or near the light lamp on the hood.

To replace the neon proceed as follows:

1. Lift the trolley.

2. Disconnect from power supply. (this operation can be carried out by disconnecting the plug, if accessible, or open the switch if envisaged during installation or press the red button in the control box (Fig. 10c))

3. Remove the screws which fix the upper front as shown in (Fig. 16)

4. Lift the upper front (Fig. 17)

5. Remove the damaged neon (Fig. 18) and replace it with one having the same characteristics

If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
