Question 1

How to turn on the ELICA BOXIN DRY PRF0181338 kitchen hood?

Accepted Answer

To turn on the ELICA BOXIN DRY PRF0181338 kitchen hood, first ensure that the device is properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. The control panel is located on the front of the hood and includes six main buttons labeled T1 to T6.

Starting and selecting the speed: To start the ventilation, press the T2 button (suction power level 1 - minimum speed). Depending on your needs, you can select higher speeds by pressing T3 (level 2) or T4 (level 3). For intensive suction against large amounts of smoke or steam, use the T5 button (intensive booster mode, reserved for extreme cases). To stop the ventilation, press T1 (motor OFF button).

Lighting: The T6 button independently controls the turning on and off of the built-in LEDs, allowing you to illuminate your work surface continuously or only during cooking.

Optimal usage advice: For correct and economical use, always start the hood at the minimum speed (T2) a few minutes before cooking, and let it run for a few minutes after cooking to completely eliminate odors. Only increase the suction power if you observe a significant accumulation of smoke or steam, and use the booster mode (T5) only in extreme situations.

Maintenance: When starting up, check during the first 10 seconds if a filter saturation indicator is flashing. This signal indicates when to clean or replace the grease and charcoal filters of your hood.

Question 2

How to properly reinstall the filters on the ELICA Box In 60 hood?

Accepted Answer

To properly reinstall the filters of your ELICA Box In 60 hood, start by turning off and unplugging the device. Wear work gloves as you will be handling metal parts. Also, check the type of filters to install: your hood has a metal grease filter (always present) and possibly a carbon filter if you are using the filtering/recycling version.

For the metal grease filter, locate the spring release handle located under the filter. Pull firmly on this handle to release the filter and remove it completely. Before reinstalling it, ensure it is clean: this filter should be cleaned once a month by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and a quick cycle. Then, reinstall it by aligning it correctly and pressing until the release handle clicks securely into place.

If you have a carbon filter (filtering version), it cannot be cleaned and must be replaced every 4 months at most. For the circular filter, apply one on each side by placing it on each protective grid of the motor arms. Then turn the filter clockwise until it is securely fixed. To remove a carbon filter, perform the reverse operation: turn it counterclockwise.

After reinstallation, ensure that all filters are properly in place and securely fixed, with no play. Plug the hood back in and test its operation at each of the 3 speeds before putting it back into service. Important: adhere to maintenance schedules (metal grease filter once a month, carbon filter every 4 months maximum) to ensure the hood's efficiency and avoid fire risks.

Question 3

Why does the number 2 blink when the ELICA Stripe 90 X hood is turned on?

Accepted Answer

When the number 2 blinks on the ELICA Stripe 90 X hood, it generally indicates a problem related to the device. Here are the most common causes:

Filters to clean or replace: The blinking may signal that the grease or activated charcoal filters are saturated and need to be cleaned or changed to ensure proper efficiency.
Technical issue: It could be an internal malfunction, such as a motor defect or an electronic board issue.

To resolve this issue, start by checking and maintaining the filters. If the blinking persists after this operation, it is advisable to contact a qualified technical service for a more in-depth diagnosis.

Question 4

How to disassemble the exhaust duct of the ELICA NikolaTesla Libra BLF83 hood?

Accepted Answer

To disassemble the exhaust duct of your Elica NikolaTesla Libra BLF83 hood, start by cutting off the power supply to the product. This step is essential for your safety before any intervention. Wait a few minutes for the system to cool down completely before starting the disassembly.

Next, remove the grease filters located in the hood. This will allow you to more easily access the connection area of the duct. The connection flange is usually located at the rear air outlet of the hood.

Locate the fastening points of the duct on the connection flange. Depending on your installation, these fasteners may be screws, clamps, or metal clips. Precisely identify the type of fastening system used in your model.

Using a screwdriver or a suitable tool, gradually loosen all the fastening points by making several turns to avoid forcing or deforming the parts. Never force and work slowly to avoid damaging the connection flange or the pipes. Once all the fasteners are loosened, you can remove the duct by gently pulling it towards you.

Before reassembling the duct or performing a cleaning, take this moment to inspect the connection flange and check for any debris, grease deposits, or obstructions. Also, check that the sealing gasket of the flange is in good condition. If you notice a buildup of grease, clean the air outlet with a damp cloth using a neutral detergent.

Adhere to the recommended connection diameter (approximately 150 mm in diameter or 222 x 89 mm in rectangular section) to maintain optimal suction of your hood. Using pipes with a smaller diameter would significantly reduce suction efficiency and increase operating noise.
