Frequently Asked Questions - HILIGHTX PRF0163523 ELICA

How to clean the grease filters of the Elica HILIGHTX range hood?

The grease filters should be cleaned once a month with a non-aggressive detergent. You can wash them by hand or in the dishwasher at a low temperature with a quick cycle. To remove them, pull the spring release handle.

What to do if the LED indicators flash on my range hood?

A green flash means the grease filter needs cleaning. A red flash indicates the charcoal filter needs replacing (in recirculation version). To reset, use the remote control.

How to pair the remote control with the Elica HILIGHTX range hood?

After disconnecting and reconnecting the hood, perform the pairing procedure within the first minute. Follow the instructions provided with the remote control. Success is confirmed by the flashing of both LEDs.

What is the minimum distance to maintain between the hood and the hob?

The minimum distance is 60 cm for an electric cooker and 70 cm for a gas or mixed cooker. If your cooking appliance instructions specify a greater distance, follow that.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use exclusively a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive tools, alcohol, or aggressive products.

Can the hood be used in recirculation (filter) mode?

Yes, the hood can operate in filter mode with a charcoal filter. The charcoal filter saturation indicator is disabled by default; you can activate it via the configuration menu (keys B+C).

What to do if the LED lighting no longer works?

The LED lighting system is not user-replaceable. In case of malfunction, contact authorized customer service.

Can I use the hood without grease filters?

No, never use the hood without the grid and filters properly installed. This can cause fire hazards and damage the appliance.

How to enable or disable the charcoal filter saturation indicator?

With the hood off, press and hold keys B + C to enter the configuration menu. Press C to select the charcoal filter (red), then press B to enable/disable the indicator.

What is the function of the delayed shut-off with the remote control?

The delayed shut-off is automatically programmed based on the active speed: 20 min at speed 1, 15 min at speed 2, 10 min at speed 3. The hood will turn off after this time.

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 for exhausting version.

Vapours are evacuated toward the outside by way of an exhaust pipe fixed to the connector flange and connected to a peripheral extraction unit (not supplied).

Connection instructions are supplied with the peripheral extraction unit.

Caution! The evacuation pipe is not supplied and must be purchased.

In the horizontal section, the pipe must be tilted slightly upwards (approx. 10^ ) in order to more easily convey the air toward the outside.

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 indispensable length.
! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90^ ).
! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

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.

Note: the Speed 4 (and the Speed 5, where applicable) if selected, will activate for a limited period of time after which Speed 2 is automatically enabled.

Remote control connection (if applicable)

Once the remote control has been connected, this will be displayed on the hood:

both LEDs flash.

Note: Using the remote control, delayed shut-down can be programmed based on the aspiration speed (power) enabled at that moment:

Speed 1 (low aspiration): 20 minutes

Speed 2 (medium aspiration): 15 minutes

Speed 3 (high aspiration): 10 minutes

Filter Saturation indicator lights
