Frequently Asked Questions - ERA C PRF0194197 ELICA

What is the minimum installation height of the hood?

For an electric cooker, the minimum distance is 50 cm between the hob and the lowest part of the hood. For a gas or mixed cooker, this distance is 65 cm. Always follow the cooker manufacturer's instructions if they require a greater distance.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metallic grease filters should be cleaned once a month. You can wash them by hand with a non-abrasive detergent or in a dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. Note: dishwasher washing may cause discoloration but does not affect filtering performance.

How often to replace the carbon filter?

The activated carbon filter (used only in recirculating mode) must be replaced every 4 months at most. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated. The frequency depends on usage and how regularly the grease filter is cleaned.

What type of bulb to use for replacing the lighting?

Use only LED bulbs of 3W max with E14 socket. Consult the manual for the ILCOS D code (alphanumeric position '1d'). Before replacing, unplug the appliance and ensure the lamps are cool.

Can I use the hood without filters?

No, never use the hood without the grille correctly installed. The filters are essential to prevent fire hazards and protect the motor. Additionally, do not use without the lamps correctly mounted to avoid electric shock.

How to connect the hood electrically?

The voltage must match that indicated on the rating plate located inside the hood. If a plug is present, connect it to an accessible wall outlet after installation. If direct connection, install a standardized circuit breaker to allow total disconnection. Before reconnecting, verify that the cable is correctly routed.

Can the hood be used in recirculating mode?

Yes, the hood is designed to work in extraction (external ducting) or recirculating (internal recycling) mode. In recirculating mode, you must install an activated carbon filter (not supplied) and replace it regularly.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

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

Is it necessary to clean the hood regularly?

Yes, the hood must be cleaned at least once a month, inside and outside. Regular cleaning of the grease filters and replacement of the carbon filter (if applicable) are essential to maintain efficiency and avoid fire hazards.

Can I use abrasive products for cleaning?

No, use exclusively a damp cloth with neutral liquid detergents. Avoid any cleaning tools or instruments, as well as abrasive products and alcohol, which could damage the surfaces.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting

or filter version

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.

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.

Operation

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

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. 1-7

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.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 5

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.

Replacing lamps

Fig.7

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.

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

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").

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.
