Frequently Asked Questions - EFV 5460-92 X GRAM

What is the minimum installation height above a gas hob?

The minimum distance is 650 mm. For electric hobs, it is typically 650-750 mm, but always check the manufacturer's instructions.

How do I clean the aluminum grease filter?

Clean the aluminum filter every month. You can wash it in the dishwasher or by hand with mild detergent. The filter should be removed and dried before reinsertion.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter should be replaced at least every 2 months or more frequently with heavy use. It cannot be washed or regenerated.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode without a charcoal filter?

No, the charcoal filter is required for recirculation mode to absorb odors. Without it, the hood will not filter smells properly.

How do I activate the timer?

Press the button for more than 2 seconds to activate the 15-minute timer. The motor will shut off automatically after 15 minutes.

What does the 'C' indicator mean on the display?

The 'C' signal indicates that the aluminum filters need cleaning. It appears after 60 hours of use. After cleaning, press the power button for 3 seconds to reset.

How do I replace the light bulbs?

Refer to Figure 7 in the manual. Use bulbs of the same type (incandescent, halogen, or LED) as originally installed. Ensure the hood is disconnected from power before replacement.

What is the recommended duct diameter for extraction mode?

Use a duct with a diameter of 120 mm or 150 mm. The duct length should not exceed 4-5 meters for optimal performance.

Can I install the hood myself?

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician due to electrical and structural requirements. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to support the hood.

Why does my hood make noise at high speed?

Normal operation may produce noise, especially at maximum speed. If excessive, check for loose parts or blocked ducts. Regular cleaning can reduce noise.

The appliance is intended for household use only.

The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes which do not affect the operation of the appliance.

●The manufacturer will accept no responsibility for any damage due to installation or operation not conforming to these instructionsi

● Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.

- Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The duct length (typically 120 or 150mm in diameter) should not exceed 4-5 m. The air exhaust duct is also required for telescopic and under furniture cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode.

● Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane. (chimney cooker hoods only).

●The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.

- Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

●For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1a).

- Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not ex-

tend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.

●Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly monitored, since overheated fat can ignite very easily.
- Pull the plug of the power cord from a wall socket before any filter cleaning or repair operation.
●The textile grease filter should be replaced, and the aluminium filter should be cleaned at least every one month in connection with the existing fire danger (saturated fat is very flammable).
- 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).

●Do not lean on hood
●The hood should be frequently cleaned inside and on the outside surfaces (at least once a month). See “Cleaning section” in this manual.

• If the power wire gets broken, it should be replaced with a new one in a specialist repair shop.
• If the power wire gets broken, it should be replaced with a new one in a specialist repair shop.
  ●Make sure the appliance can be easily disconnected from the mains, either by pulling the plug out of the mains socket, or by switching the two-pole switch off.
  ●This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
  ●Children should be su-

pervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Check if the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds to the local power supply parameters.
  ●Before installing unwind and straighten the power cord.
  ●Warning! The packaging materials (polyethylene bags, small pieces of foamed poly-

styrene etc.) should be kept away from children while unpacking.

NOTE: Before connecting the hood to the mains power supply always check that the power cord is properly installed and is not trapped by the appliance. It is recommended to make sure the hood operates correctly before installation.

INSTALLATION

Elements

Kitchen hood consists of the following elements (Fig. 2a):

1-Internal Chimney

2-External Chimney

3-Control Panel

4-Hob Illumination

5) Split Extraction Plate

Installation

Step-by-step appliance installation is shown on Fig. 3a-3n.

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. It is recommended to install the air guide (availability depending on model).

Use control panel to control your cooker hood (Fig. 4)

Speed Selection The product has 5 speeds of ventilation level. One of 1,2,3,...5 speeds is selected in accordance with steam of cooking or fry. Motor is started pressing control button on the front panel. Speed is increased pressing button >, and decreased by pressing button >.

Fan speeds

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

Timer

When you press b_on more than 2 seconds, timer function will be on for 15 minutes. When the timer is on, Display will signal and the motor will be off automatically 15 minutes later. Please use the cooker and the product at the same time to enable circulation. Doing so, air suction power will be affected positively. We recommend you to operate your product for few minutes more after the cooking is completed to enable absorption rest of smell and steam.

Illumination

The product has 2 lamps and one lamp button to operate illumination. Press lamp button in order to start illumination.

Cleaning Periods of the Aluminum Filters:

Filters should be cleaned when “” signal appears on Display or (according to usage) each 2-3 weeks. In order to remove “C” signal, after the filters are cleaned and replaced to their place, press ⏻ button more than 3 seconds (when the product is at off position). Letter “E” will appear on Display and the product will operate as normal. If you would like to continue using the product without deleting “C” signal, when you press the ⏻ button active speed will appear for 1 second, then “” signal will appear once more and the motor will continue operating.

NOTE: “” signal will appear after usage of the product for 60 hours.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device will ensure faultless operation, and help extend the life of the unit. Attention should be paid to replacing grease and carbon filters according to instructions.

Aluminium grease filter

Cleaning

For normal hood operation, aluminium grease filter should be cleaned every month in the dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.

To replace:

Acrylic filter is used in some models. This filter should be replaced at least once every two months or more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.

Charcoal filter (only the recirculation version)

Operation - 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.

Replace:

Dismantling of charcoal filter is shown on Figure 6.

Lighting

See Figure 7 for details how to replace lights. Use incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same specification as those factory-installed in the appliance.

Cleaning

Normal hood cleaning:

• Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water jet.
