Frequently Asked Questions - Easy IX/F/50 ELICA

How to install the Elica Easy IX/F/50 hood?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Observe safety distances from the cooking surface (65 cm minimum for an electric cooker, 75 cm for a gas cooker). Use the template provided for drilling.

How to clean the grease filter?

The aluminum filter can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and detergent. Dry it completely before putting it back. Clean it every month.

What to do if the hood does not turn on?

Check the power supply and the circuit breaker. If the problem persists, the motor or switch may be defective. Contact the after-sales service.

Are the halogen bulbs replaceable?

Yes, the halogen bulbs (G4, 40 W) are easily replaceable. Turn off the hood and let it cool before changing them.

How to reduce the noise of the hood?

Use lower speeds for less noise. Check that the filters are clean and the installation is stable. A smooth exhaust duct also reduces noise.

Can the hood work in recirculation mode?

Yes, it is possible to install a recirculation kit with a charcoal filter (not supplied). In this case, the air is returned to the room.

What is the recommended installation height?

For an electric cooker, the hood should be 65-75 cm above the cooking surface. For a gas cooker, allow 75-85 cm.

How to order spare parts?

Contact Elica customer service or an authorized dealer. Have the part reference indicated in the manual ready.

Is the hood compatible with a 125 mm external outlet?

No, the outlet diameter is 150 mm. Use an adapter if necessary, but this may reduce performance.

How to maintain the stainless steel surface?

Clean with a soft cloth and a special stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive products that scratch the surface.

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 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 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.

Warning! Detail B (fixing bracket to the ceiling) is equipped with a conductor (yellow-green) that must be connected to the earth of the domestic electrical plant.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean using ONLY the 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. 26-28

Traps cooking grease particles.

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 discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 27

It absorbs unpleasant odours 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 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.

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.

To purchase spare LEDs, contact the technical assistance service.
