Frequently Asked Questions - Elite 14 LUX Grix 90 X ELICA

How to install the hood in extractor mode ?

For extractor mode, connect the hood to an external evacuation duct. Remove the carbon filter if present. Use an exhaust hose with the same diameter as the connection flange and respect the minimum lengths and bends.

How to install the hood in recirculation mode ?

For recirculation mode, the air is recycled into the room. You must install an active carbon filter (not supplied if the hood is delivered without). Ensure the grease filter is in place. The hood can then operate without an external duct.

How often should the grease filter be cleaned ?

The metal grease filter must be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle.

How often should the carbon filter be changed ?

The carbon filter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced every 4 months maximum for optimal efficiency. Frequency depends on usage and grease filter cleaning.

How to replace the LED bulb ?

Unplug the appliance. Let the lamps cool down. Extract the drawer and remove the suction grid. Replace the defective bulb with a LED bulb of type 3W-E14 maximum. Reinstall the grid.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the cooking surface ?

The minimum distance is 50 cm for an electric hob and 65 cm for a gas or mixed hob. If the hob instructions specify a larger distance, follow that.

Can I use the hood without a filter ?

No, the hood must never be used without the grid properly installed. The grease filter is essential to protect the motor. In recirculation mode, the carbon filter is necessary to deodorize the air.

What to do if the lighting does not work ?

First check that the lamps are correctly inserted in their housing. If they are defective, replace them with 3W-E14 LED bulbs. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to clean the hood surface ?

Use only a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive tools, alcohol, or aggressive products. Wipe regularly to prevent grease buildup.

Can I order spare parts ?

Yes, spare parts such as filters, bulbs, and power cable are available from the technical support service. Use only original parts recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

! 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.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon 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.

Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.

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

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 to 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.

This hood is designed for fitting in a cabinet or on some other support.

Operation

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

a. ON/OFF light switch
b. Speed 1/OFF switch
c. 2-speed selection
d. 3-speed selection

Maintenance

Cleaning

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

Grease filter

Fig. 10-21

Traps cooking grease particles.

The grease filter must be cleaned once a month 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.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 20

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.

Remove the grease filters.

Apply one charcoal filter each side and hook in onto the hood. Refit the grease filter.

Replacing lamps

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.

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

Extract the drawer completely.

Remove the suction gril to access the lamp area.

Replace the damaged lamp.

Use E14 3W max LED lamps only. For more details, check enclosed leaflet "ILCOS D" (alfanumeric position "1d"). Put the grill back.

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

On some models ONLY:

A Non Return Backdraft Damper is included in the supply, as optional accessory to be installed under certain installation conditions (i.e. if there is no protection against accidental backdraft of air from the outside). The damper must be installed inside the dedicated housing, inside of the Air Outlet Fitting, before installing the flue.
