Frequently Asked Questions - Seashell IX/F/80 ELICA

What is the minimum installation height above the hob?

The minimum distance between the hob and the lowest part of the hood must be at least 60 cm for electric cookers and 70 cm for gas or mixed cookers. Always follow the hob manufacturer's instructions if they specify a greater distance.

How often should I clean the grease filter?

The grease filter should be cleaned once a month using non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in a dishwasher on a low temperature and short cycle. Cleaning it regularly reduces fire risk.

Can the charcoal filter be washed?

Yes, the charcoal filter can be washed every two months with hot water and suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C. After washing, dry it in an oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. Replace the filter every 3 years or when damaged.

How do I pair the hood with the optional remote control?

First, disconnect and reconnect the hood to the power supply. Within the first minute of reconnection, follow the affiliation procedure described in the remote control manual. The hood must be ON (press ON/OFF button).

What type of lamps does the hood use?

Use only the lamp type indicated in the Maintenance/Replacing lamps section of the manual. For replacement, contact authorized technical service to avoid electric shock risk.

Can I install the hood myself?

Installation must be carried out by specialized personnel due to the electrical connection and heavy weight (approx. 4 kg). At least two persons are required for handling and fixing to the ceiling.

Is this hood suitable for ducted (extracting) mode?

No, this model is designed for internal recirculating filtering version only. Cooking fumes are filtered through grease and charcoal filters and recirculated back into the kitchen. It cannot be connected to an external flue.

What should I do if the hood does not work?

Check that the hood is turned ON using the ON/OFF button (Fig. 12). Ensure the power supply is connected and the electrical circuit is working. If it still doesn't operate, contact technical support.

Can I use the hood as a shelf?

No, the hood must never be used as a support surface unless specifically indicated. Doing so may cause damage or safety hazards.

How do I dispose of the hood at the end of its life?

This appliance is marked according to the WEEE directive (2012/19/EC). Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to a designated collection point for recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Contact local authorities for details.

Use

The hood has been made for use in the internal recirculating filtering version.

Cooking fumes and steam are aspirated inside the hood, filtered and cleaned, passing through the fat filter/s and the carbon filter/s that MUST be supplied with the hood.

Installation

Specialised personnel must carry out both the electrical and the mechanical 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 60cm from electric cookers and 70cm 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 tension must correspond to the tension shown on the characteristic label situated inside the hood.

The product is meant for connecting directly to the mains supply, therefore apply a regulation bipolar switch that ensures complete disconnection from the mains in the conditions of category III over-tension, conforming to the installation rules.
