Frequently Asked Questions - EFS 3461-90 X GRAM

How do I install the Gram EFS 3461-90 X range hood?

Installation steps are shown on page 4 of the manual. Ensure the wall is strong enough to support the hood. Connect the hood to a suitable ventilation duct (diameter 120 mm) for extraction mode, or install charcoal filter for recirculation. The minimum distance above the hob must be observed (refer to technical sheet). For safety, hire a qualified technician for electrical connection.

How do I clean the aluminium grease filter?

The aluminium grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash it in the dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent. Allow it to dry before reinstalling. Note: Some discoloration after repeated washing is normal.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter?

The charcoal filter, used in recirculation mode, cannot be washed and should be replaced at least every 2 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Refer to figure 6 in the manual for removal instructions.

How do I replace the light bulb?

The hood is equipped with an LED lamp (or compatible incandescent/halogen). To replace, see figure 7 in the manual. Use the same type and specification as the original. Ensure the hood is disconnected from power before replacing.

Can I use the hood without a duct?

Yes, the hood can operate in recirculation mode. In this case, you must install a charcoal filter (not included) and an air guide vane (recommended for chimney models). The air will be filtered and returned to the room.

What is the recommended duct size and length?

Use a rigid or flexible duct of 120 mm diameter. The total duct length should not exceed 4-5 meters to ensure efficient performance.

How do I select the fan speed?

The hood has touch controls with 3 fan speeds. Press the corresponding button on the front panel to select low, medium, or high speed. It is recommended to run the hood simultaneously with the hob for optimal air flow.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Never leave open flames under the hood. Monitor cooking with fat closely to prevent overheating. Disconnect the hood before cleaning or maintenance. Ensure proper ventilation in the room when using combustion appliances. Keep packaging materials away from children.

The hood is not extracting properly. What could be wrong?

First, check that the grease filter is clean and not clogged. If using extraction mode, verify the duct is not blocked or too long. In recirculation mode, ensure the charcoal filter is not saturated. Also check that the hood is properly installed and the fan speed is set correctly.

What are the dimensions of the Gram EFS 3461-90 X?

The hood is 90 cm wide. Depth is approximately 50 cm, and height is adjustable via the telescopic chimney (typically 75-110 cm). Exact dimensions can be found in the product technical sheet.

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/b).

- 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

Installation

Step-by-step appliance installation is shown on page 4

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).

It is equipped with a touch controls. Touch one of the sensors to enable the desired function:

Fan speed selection:

Your product has 3 fan speeds. Depending on the intensity of cooking and the amount of steam, you can use your appliance at low medium or high speed. To operate product, press on fan control buttons on the front panel. Press on① button on the control panel to turn off the appliance. It is advised to run the appliance and the hob simultaneously so that an air flow can be formed. This way you will maximise the absorption power. Keep your hood on for an extended period to ensure odour and steam is absorbed.

Your product has one lamp and a button to control lighting. Press lamp button in order to turn on the light.

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:

Dismantling of aluminium grease filter is shown on Figure 5.

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.
