Frequently Asked Questions - Elite 35 PRF0166641 ELICA

How to clean the grease filter?

The metallic grease filter must be cleaned at least once a month. Use a neutral detergent and wash it by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature (quick cycle). Dishwashing may cause discoloration, but filtering performance remains unchanged.

How to replace the charcoal filter?

The active charcoal filter is used only in recirculation mode. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated and must be replaced every 4 months maximum. To remove it, pull the spring release handle (see figure 12 of the manual).

How to reset the filter saturation indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filter, press button 2 (OFF/speed decrease) until the LEDs turn off. For the charcoal filter, the indicator is disabled by default; activate it by holding buttons 3 and 4 until LEDs L1 and L2 flash.

How to use the timer?

The timer allows delayed shutdown of the suction speed. Press the ON/OFF Timer button (button 2). Depending on the selected speed, shutdown occurs after: 20 min (speed 1), 15 min (speed 2), 10 min (speed 3), 5 min (intensive speed). The speed LED flashes to indicate the timer is active.

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

The minimum distance between the cooktop support and the lowest part of the hood is 43 cm for electric cooktops and 65 cm for gas or mixed cooktops. Always follow the cooktop manufacturer's instructions if a greater distance is specified.

Can I use the hood without the charcoal filter?

Yes, if you use the hood in extractor mode (external evacuation). The charcoal filter is only needed in recirculating mode (internal recycling). Make sure to remove the charcoal filter if it is present in extractor mode.

How to switch from extractor to recirculating mode?

To use the hood in recirculating mode, you must install an active charcoal filter (not supplied). If the hood is delivered without one, order it and mount it before commissioning. In extractor mode, remove the charcoal filter and connect an exhaust duct to the connection flange.

How to replace the LED bulbs?

The LED bulbs cannot be replaced by the user. In case of failure, contact authorized technical support service. The hood is equipped with LEDs that provide optimal lighting and a lifespan up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check that the power plug is properly connected and the main switch is not off. Ensure that the supply voltage matches that on the rating plate. If the problem persists, contact a qualified professional or after-sales service.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use exclusively a damp cloth with neutral liquid detergents. Never use abrasive tools, alcohol, or aggressive products. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Wear work gloves for any maintenance operations.

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 43cm 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.

Grease filter

Fig. 3-12

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)

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.
