Frequently Asked Questions - ERA PRF0194191 ELICA

How to install the Elica ERA PRF0194191 hood?

Follow the instructions in the manual strictly. The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the hood is 50 cm for an electric hob and 65 cm for a gas or mixed hob. Connect the exhaust to the outside or install the charcoal filter for a recirculation version. Check that the electrical voltage matches that on the rating plate. Only connect the hood after complete installation.

How to clean the metallic grease filter?

Clean the metallic grease filter at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a non-aggressive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature on a short cycle. The dishwasher may discolor the filter but does not affect its performance. Put it back after complete drying.

When to replace the activated charcoal filter?

The activated charcoal filter must be replaced every 4 months maximum, or earlier if you use the hood frequently. It cannot be cleaned or regenerated. A saturated filter reduces odor absorption efficiency.

What type of bulb to use to replace the lighting?

Use exclusively LED bulbs of max 3W with E14 base. Check the exact reference in the manual (see ILCOS D position '1d'). Before replacing, unplug the hood and ensure the bulbs are cool.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, never use the hood without the grille or grease filter properly installed. This could cause fire hazards or damage the motor. Moreover, the absence of filter exposes internal components to grease.

What to do if the hood lighting does not work?

First check that the bulbs are correctly inserted in their housing. If the problem persists, contact customer service. Use only bulbs of the recommended type (LED 3W-E14).

Can the hood be used by children?

This appliance can be used by children aged at least 8 years, under supervision and after receiving instructions on safe use and hazards. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.

How to reduce the environmental impact of the hood?

Turn on the hood at minimum speed during cooking and leave it running for a few minutes after. Only use accelerated speeds in case of heavy smoke production. Replace the charcoal filter regularly and clean the grease filter to maintain efficiency. Use an exhaust duct with maximum diameter to optimize performance and reduce noise.

What to do in case of power outage or emergency?

Always unplug the hood before any intervention. In case of malfunction, do not attempt to repair it yourself; contact a qualified professional or authorized after-sales service. Do not operate the hood via a timer or external remote control.

How to know if the hood is in extraction or recirculation version?

Consult the installation diagram in the manual. The extraction version requires an exhaust duct to the outside. The recirculation version uses an activated charcoal filter and recirculates air in the room. Check for the presence of the charcoal filter and the absence of an external duct to identify the configuration.

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.
