USER MANUAL Elio ECH 9766 X​ Elba

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside - Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need 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:

• Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain 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 with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.

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) Flamè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safeway and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

- Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.

Electric Connection:

Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:

• If the symbol appears on the plate, it means that no earth connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow the instructions concerning insulation class II.
• If the symbol DOES NOT appear on the plate, follow the instructions concerning insulation class I.

Insulation class II

• The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensional omnipolar switch with 3mm 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.

Insulation class I

This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to an efficient earthing system.
- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral

YELLOW/GREEN = ① earth.

The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected to the terminal by the earth symbol 日

When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3mm must be placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the load required and it must comply with current legislation.

• 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 . 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.16) 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.
• 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.

Hood assembly:

• Remove the structure from the packaging and remove the 2 screws A to separate the upper part from the lower part (Fig.2).
• Position hole template on the ceiling paying attention that

the arrow is positioned on the same side as the appliance controls (Fig.3). Make 4, 08 holes in the ceiling and drive in 3 screws without completely tightening them. Pay attention not to insert the screw into the hole marked with an X on the hole template (the screws and expansion plugs must be suitable for the type of wall).

• Take the upper part of the structure B (Fig.4) and insert the 3 slots onto the 3 screws that are not completely tightened. Rotate slightly to fit (Fig.4). Drive in the fourth screw X and tighten the remaining 3 to allow definitive blocking of the upper part of structure B.

• Take the lower part of the telescopic structure C and insert it into the upper structure B (Fig.5). Adjust the height by referring to the amounts indicated in (Fig.15) and block it using the 8 screws G that are supplied (Fig.6).

• Suction version: fix the flexible pipe to the prepared air evacuation hole (Fig.7).

• Filtering version: we have two different types of Kit, one with extractable carbon filters (Fig.17) and the other one with re-usable carbon filters (washable) (Fig.18).
  -Fix the flexible pipe to the deflector M and fix screw I as indicated in Fig.8, the active carbon filters must be applied to the suction unit positioned inside the hood (Fig.17).
• If your product is fitted with a connector flange, perform the assembly steps indicated in fig. 9 before fixing the cooker hood to the structure. Take connector flange F and fit it to the upper part of the cooker hood suction assembly using the 2 screws E (Fig.9).
• Take the upper chimney piece and fix it to the structure using the 2 screws A (Fig.10). Join the lower chimney piece with the upper one and fix it carefully using adhesive tape L (Fig.11A).
• Unscrew the 2 screws O , max 3mm (Fig.11A). Insert the suction unit inside the structure paying attention that the previously unscrewed screws O , hook into the slots in the lower part as indicated in (Fig.11B). Drive in the 3 screws N (supplied) and tighten the 2 screws O (Fig.11B).
  -Fix the air evacuation pipe H (not supplied) onto the connection flange F (Fig.12).
• Remove adhesive tape L and rest the lower chimney piece above the cooker hood (Fig.13).
• If the cooker hood is supplied with a lower chimney piece that must be fixed to the hood body with screws, remove the anti-grease filters from the hood by acting on the relevant handles (Fig.16).
• If necessary, fix the lower duct to the hood from the inside, using the screws P (Fig.14). Re-locate the filters in their seat.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.

• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

• To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
• After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the

unpleasant odours produced by cooking.

• The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti- grease filter is cleaned.
• Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand, with non-abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65^ (the washing cycle must be complete without dishware). Remove excess water without damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a maximum temperature of 100^ . To keep the regenerable charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights, it is possible to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
