Frequently Asked Questions - Synthesis IX/A/100 ELICA

How to install the Elica Synthesis IX/A/100 range hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified installer. The hood is designed to be placed in a kitchen corner. Follow the assembly instructions in the manual exactly, using wall plugs suitable for the wall. For the external evacuation version, connect an exhaust pipe (not supplied) to the upper air outlet. For the recirculation version, install an activated charcoal filter and a deflector.

What minimum distance should I maintain between the hood and the cooking surface?

The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the hood is 50 cm for electric cooktops and 65 cm for gas or mixed cooktops. If your cooking appliance instructions specify a greater distance, follow that.

How to clean the grease filter of the hood?

The metal grease filter must be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it by hand with a non-aggressive detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. To remove it, pull the spring handle located under the hood. Note that washing in the dishwasher may discolor the filter without affecting its efficiency.

How to maintain or replace the activated charcoal filter?

If you use the hood in recirculation mode, the charcoal filter can be cleaned every two months with hot water or in the dishwasher at 65°C. After washing, remove the charcoal pad from the plastic frame and dry it in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. Replace the pad every 3 years or if it is damaged. There is also a traditional non-washable charcoal filter that should be changed every 3 to 4 months.

How to replace the hood's lamps?

The hood is equipped with LED lighting. LEDs have a very long lifespan (up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs) and do not require frequent replacement. In case of malfunction, contact the authorized Elica technical assistance service for replacement.

Can I use the hood without external evacuation?

Yes, you can use the hood in recirculation mode. To do this, install an activated charcoal filter and a deflector (not supplied) on the hood support. The fumes and vapors are then filtered and returned to the kitchen through the upper grille. Assembly instructions are detailed in the manual.

What to do in case of hood breakdown?

In case of failure, first check the power supply (circuit breaker, socket). If the problem persists, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact a qualified installer or the Elica technical assistance service. For replacement parts (filters, lamps), use only original parts.

Does the hood turn off automatically?

No, the Elica Synthesis IX/A/100 hood does not have an automatic shut-off. The control is via the control ball (pendulum): move it to the right to turn on and adjust the extraction speeds, and to the left to turn the lighting on/off. To turn off the hood, continue moving the control ball to the right until it stops.

What cleaning products are recommended for the hood?

For external cleaning, use only a damp cloth moistened with a neutral liquid detergent. Never use abrasive tools, alcohol, or products containing alcohol. Also avoid aggressive cleaners. For filters, follow specific instructions (mild detergent for the grease filter, hot water for the charcoal filter).

Is the hood suitable for a gas cooktop?

Yes, the hood can be installed above a gas cooktop, provided a minimum distance of 65 cm is maintained between the cooking surface and the hood. Additionally, the room must be properly ventilated if the hood is used simultaneously with other combustion appliances. Never flambé food under the hood and monitor frying to prevent fires.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).

Filter version

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

The hood is designed to be installed in a corner of the kitchen. 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.

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.

Mounting

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.

Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Attention! We advise you to have this hood installed by a qualified technical installer. It is, in fact, necessary to proceed with installation with the maximum expertise. It is necessary to have a professional type of level and a drill with a ∅8 mm point for walls, a ∅3.5 mm point for metal and a screwdriver with a crosshead point for installation.

Disconnect the hood, working on the main domestic panel during the phases of connecting the electricity.

Remove the fats filter/s and the frame of the carbon filter.

1. Make 2 pairs of PERFECTLY HORIZONTAL lines with a

pencil on the right and left walls in the corner where you want to mount the hood:

The first pair is the distance between the cooking top and the hood and will also act as reference for the installation of the corner brackets.

Attention! The corner brackets are to be installed if you are not sure that the walls forming the corner are perfectly perpendicular.

The second pair, 50mm higher than the first, indicates the positioning of the lower side of the support structure of the hood.

1. Place the support structure on the corner of the wall so that its right and left sides are equidistant from the corner of the wall (check in addition that the side with the series of horizontal holes is turned upwards), mark and make four external holes, insert 4 wall dowels and fix with 4 screws.
2. Fix the lower support bracket to the support structure with 4 screws.
3. Check that the corner of the kitchen where you want to mount the hood has perfectly perpendicular right and left walls, otherwise install the corner fairings:

Place the corner fairings on the right and left walls.

Note: the lower side of the corner fairings must coincide with the lower pair of lines previously traced on the wall - in addition both must coincide with the corner of the wall, possibly forming a single and continuous frame, from the right to the left side.

Mark and make 6 holes, insert 6 wall dowels and, with 6 screws and washers, fix the corner brackets to the wall.

1. Put flues support bracket „G“ on the wall, adhering to the ceiling so that its right and left sides are equidistant from the corner of the wall, use the flues support bracket as a perforating diagram and mark 4 holes with the pencil, make the holes and insert 4 dowels.

Suction version/Filtering version: Fix the flues support bracket to the wall with 4 screws.

Only filtering version: adjust the extension of deflector F on the basis of the width of flues support bracket G, fix the extensions with 2 screws and fix the deflector to the flues support bracket with 4 screws.

1. Hook the hood onto the lower support bracket.

2. a.-b. Insert the lower part of the hood into the suction unit. c. Fix the lower part of the hood to the suction unit with 6 screws.

Attention! The hood is not yet definitively fixed to the wall, every successive operation must therefore be carried out with caution to avoid the hood unhooking from the support bracket and causing damage to people or things.

1. Carry out the electrical connections between the two parts.
2. Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall and the horizontal setting of the hood, using two adjustment screws placed on the hooks of the hood.

If the corner brackets have been mounted (corner of the kitchen NOT perfectly perpendicular): check that

the hood rests perfectly on the corner brackets.

If the corner brackets have not been mounted (corner of the kitchen perfectly perpendicular):

a. Check that the lower part of the hood is perfectly horizontal (if mounted correctly, this should coincide with or be parallel to the lower horizontal line marked on the wall (see montage operation 1). b. Mark the two points (right and left) of definitive fixture with a pencil. c. Unhook the hood and make 2 holes, insert 2 wall dowels, hang the hood up again and fix definitively with 2 screws and washers.

1. Fix the motor unit to the support structure definitively: make a ∅3.5 mm pilot hole on the support structure with a drill, passing through the lower hole inside the motor housing, after which fix definitively with 1 screw and washer.
2. Carry out the connection of a tube (tube and strips for fixing not supplied, to be purchased) for the discharge of fumes to the connection ring over the suction motor unit.

The other end of the tube must be connected to a device for the expulsion of fumes outside in the case of using the hood in the suction version or to deflector F in the case of using the hood in the filtering version.

1. Connect the electricity.
2. Place the flues and fix them above with 2 screws (20a) to the „G“ (20b) flues support bracket.
3. Slide the lower section of the chimney to cover the suction unit completely until it inserts into the apposite seat over the hood.
4. Apply the two side covers - embedded fixture - the parts are not interchangeable.

Maintenance

Cleaning

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. 2

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) 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 B, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 3

It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if

the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).

Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100^ C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged.

Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.

Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole back into its housing (j).

It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter, neither washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months. The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together; the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to be used.

Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.

Replacing lamps

The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology.

The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.

For replacement, contact the technical service.
