Frequently Asked Questions - Galaxy P 80 XW ELICA

How to install the Elica Galaxy P 80 XW range hood?

Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm (electric cooking) or 65 cm (gas/mixed) between the hood and the cooking surface. Use the supplied wall plugs suitable for the wall. For the ducted version, provide a duct of diameter matching the flange. Disconnect the appliance before any intervention.

What are the available operating modes?

The hood can operate in exhaust mode (extraction to the outside) or recirculation mode (with activated charcoal filter). Recirculation mode requires the purchase of an optional charcoal filter.

How to clean the anti-grease filters?

The metal anti-grease filters should be cleaned once a month, by hand with a non-aggressive detergent or in the dishwasher on a low temperature and short cycle. Dishwashing may cause the filter to discolor without affecting its efficiency.

When and how to replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter must be changed every 4 months maximum for a non-washable filter. For a washable filter, clean it every 2 months with hot water or in the dishwasher at 65°C, then dry in the oven for 10 minutes at 100°C. The inner pad is replaced every 3 years.

How to activate or deactivate the charcoal filter saturation signal?

With the hood off, press and hold button T4 for 5 seconds. The indicators show the filter status. If indicator 2 flashes for 2 seconds, the charcoal signal is activated; if it turns off, it is deactivated. A beep confirms the operation.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

First check that the halogen bulbs (12 V - 20 W max, G4) are properly inserted. If they are defective, replace them using a small screwdriver to remove the cover. Handle the bulbs with a cloth to avoid marks.

How to use the automatic shut-off timer?

Press button T4 to activate the timer. The duration depends on speed: 20 min at V1, 15 min at V2, 10 min at V3, 5 min at V4 (intensive). During timed operation, buttons T2/T3 cancel the timer and change the speed.

What is the reset procedure after cleaning the filters?

After cleaning or replacing the filters, press and hold button T4 for 5 seconds until a beep and the flashing stops. For the two filters, repeat twice: first for charcoal, then for grease.

Can the hood be used without a grease filter?

No, the hood must never be operated without the grille or grease filter properly installed. This presents a fire hazard and damages the motor.

What are the risks of not following safety instructions?

Failure to follow, in particular, regular cleaning, the minimum safety distance or the prohibition of flambé cooking under the hood can cause fires, electric shocks or irreversible damage. The manufacturer declines all liability in case of negligence.

WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

Use

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

Ducting 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.

Attention! 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.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10^ ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

Attention! 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).

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.
! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
! The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

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

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.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.
