Frequently Asked Questions - EFV 3260-90 X GRAM

How do I set the hood to recirculation mode?

To use recirculation mode, you must install an active carbon filter (not included). Remove the metal grease filter, place the carbon filter on the motor block, and reinstall the grease filter. The hood then filters and recirculates air back into the room. No duct connection is needed.

How often should I clean the aluminum grease filters?

Clean the grease filters every 2 months under normal use, or when the 'C' indicator appears on the display. They can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with mild detergent. After cleaning, reset the indicator by pressing button ① for >3 seconds when the hood is off.

How often should I replace the carbon filter?

The active carbon filter cannot be washed and should be replaced at least every 2 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Replace it when odours are no longer absorbed.

What is the minimum distance between the hob and the hood?

The minimum safe distance is 650 mm, unless the hob manufacturer specifies a different distance, in which case the larger distance must be followed. Never install below this height.

What do I do if the display shows 'C'?

'C' indicates that the aluminium grease filters need cleaning. After cleaning and refitting them, press and hold the ① button for more than 3 seconds with the product off to reset the alarm. The 'E' indicator will appear briefly, then normal operation resumes.

How do I replace the halogen bulbs?

Unplug the hood. Remove the aluminium cassette filter. Pull the defective lamp down gently, turn it slightly anti-clockwise, and remove it. Replace with a new 50W halogen bulb of the same type. Wait for bulbs to cool before handling.

Can I use the hood without an external duct?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode by installing an active carbon filter. In this mode, air is filtered and returned to the room. No external duct is required.

What should I do if the hood is not extracting air effectively?

Check that the grease filters are clean and not clogged. Ensure the duct (if used) is not blocked, kinked, or longer than 4-5 m. In recirculation mode, check if the carbon filter is saturated and needs replacing. Also verify the fan speed setting is appropriate for the cooking intensity.

How do I install the telescopic chimney?

First mount the support bracket and motor compartment on the wall. Install the lower duct enclosure over the motor box. Then push the upper duct enclosure up from the lower one and fix it with screws. Ensure the connection between the body and motor box is tight. Refer to figures 3k and 3l in the manual.

What type of duct should I use for extraction mode?

Use a rigid or flexible conduit with a diameter of 120 mm (or 150 mm, matching the outlet). The duct should not exceed 4-5 meters in length. Connect it securely to the hood outlet and the wall opening to avoid leaks.

1. The kitchen hood was designed for removal of kitchen fumes to the outside. It should be connected to an appropriate ventilation duct (do not connect the hood to any chimney, smoke or flue-gas ducts which are in use).
2. The safe distance between a cooker and the hood should be at least 650 mm. If a cooker manual specifies other distance, this should be taken into account (fig. 2).
3. Do not leave open flame under the hood. When removing pots from the burners set the flame to its minimum level.
4. Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly monitored, since overheated fat can ignite very easily.
5. The textile grease filter should be replaced, and the aluminium filter should be cleaned at least every 2 months in connection with the existing fire danger (saturated fat is very flammable).
6. Pull the plug of the power cord from a wall socket before any filter cleaning or repair operation.
7. If any other non-electric devices are used in the same room as the hood (e.g. liquid fuel ovens, flow-through or volumetric water heaters), it is necessary to provide appropriate ventilation (air supply). Safe operation is possible when during simultaneous operation of the hood and combustion devices dependent on air supply the negative pressure of not more than 0.004 milibar is maintained at the location of these devices inside the room (this point does not apply when the hood is used as an odour absorber).
8. When connecting to 240V power supply network use an electric socket in working order.
9. Do not lean on the hood
10. Hood should be cleaned once per month - see point „Cleaning” in this manual.
11. If the power wire gets broken, it should be replaced with a new one in a specialist repair shop.
12. Some parts of the hood become hot when the appliance is operating.

This appliance is designed for household use only. The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes which do not affect the operation of the appliance.

Connecting to the power network and operation check

After connecting the device to the power supply network (in accordance with the requirements defined above) it is necessary to check operation of the motor and lighting of the hood.

Setting the operation mode of the kitchen extractor hood

Setting the air extractor mode of operation of the hood

In the extractor mode air is discharged to the outside by a special conduit. In that setting any carbon filters shall be removed. The hood should be connected to the opening discharging air to the outside by means of a rigid or flexible conduit of 120 mm diameter, which should be purchased in a shop selling installation materials.

A qualified installer should be commissioned to make the connection.

Setting the odour absorber mode of operation of the hood

In this option filtered air returns to the room through openings in the front of the hood. In this setting it is necessary to install the carbon filter.

Fan speeds

The lowest and medium speeds should be used under normal conditions and with low concentration of fumes. The top speed should be used in case of high concentration of kitchen fumes, e.g. during frying or grilling.

1. Operational safety.

All safety instructions included in chapter IV must be observed. Textile grease filters and carbon filters should be replaced and aluminium filter should be cleaned according to manufacturer's instructions, or more frequently in periods of intensive use (more than 4 hours a day). If a gas cooker is used it is forbidden to leave uncovered flame. When removing pots from gas burners set the flame to its minimum level. Always make sure that flame does not extend outside the pot. Such a situation causes undesired energy losses and dangerous heat build-ups. The hood should not be used for other purposes than those for which it was designed.

2. Operation:

2.1 Control panel (fig. 8)

Using the 3-speed digital control

Peel off protective film from the inox appliance after assembly.

Speed choice

The appliance has 3 fan speeds. Depending on cooking intensity and the amount of steam, you can choose low, medium or high fan speed. Buttons on the front panel are used for turning the appliance on. The models with electronic controllers have an automatic timer. 15 minutes automatic timer is turned on when you press any of the buttons, which starts the motor up, more than 2 seconds. When timer starts, display will indicate the function is on and after 15 minutes motor will automatically stop. Please turn on hob and hood at the same time to provide effective circulation. Allow the appliance to run for a while after cooking is finished, so the remaining odour and steam will be absorbed.

2.2 Lighting

The product has 2 lamps and one lamp button to operate light. Press lamp button in order to turn on the light.

Aluminium filter cleaning

Filter should be cleaned when “C” indication appears on the display or every 2-3 weeks (depending on usage intensity). After cleaning and replacing filters, press the ① button for more than 3 seconds (when the product is off) in order for the “C” indication to disappear. “E” indication will appear on display and product will start operating normally. If you want to continue using your product without removing the “C” indication, active speed will appear for 1 second when you press ② button, then “C” indication appears once more and the motor will continue operating.

3. Maintenance.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device will guarantee its good and fault-less operation, and extend its life. Attention should be paid to replacing grease and carbon filters according to instructions.

3.1 Grease filter

1. Cleaning.
   Grease filters should be cleaned every two months during normal operation of the hood,
   in a dishwasher or manually, using mild detergent or liquid soap.
2. Replacement (Fig. 7).
   To dismantle the filter proceed as follows:
   a) remove the bottom cover by releasing the lock catch
   b) remove the metal grease filter

3.2. Carbon filter

Carbon filters can be used only when the hood is not connected to any ventilation duct.

Filters with active carbon can absorb odours until they are saturated. They cannot be washed or regenerated and should be replaced at least every 2 months or more frequently in case of very intensive use.

1. Active carbon filter replacement.
   a) Remove metal grease filter
   b) Put a new active carbon filter on the motor block (fig. 6)
   c) Replace the metal grease filter

3.3. Lighting (fig. 5)
