COOKER HOOD

1 GENERAL

The model you have selected is a decorative suction cooker hood which can also work as

filtering hood.

A SUCTION HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment and then

expels them outside. It is not necessary to use carbon filters for purifying.

A FILTERING HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment, purifies

them by means of carbon filters and then emits the purified air into the same environment. In

this case, the use of carbon filters is absolutely necessary (see FIG.1).

Carbon filters are available separately and can be purchased as optional accessories (see

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES).

2 BEFORE MOUNTING

Before mounting you should be aware of:

2.1) Check that the minimum distances between the lower part of the cooker hood and the

upper part of the cooker is as given in Fig.2:

600 mm if electric cooker (we advice a minimum distance of 700 - 800 mm)

700 mm if gas cooker (we advise a minimum disance of 700 - 800 mm)

WARNING! If the user decides to install the hood at lower

distances, the manufacturer declines any responsibility for eventual damages caused

by the hood due to strong heat or damages to property or persons etc. caused directly

or indirectly by any type of malfunctioning breakdown or possible fire (see FIG.2).

2.2) Arrange for a socket outlet or standard connection to the electric mains;

2.3) if the hood is used as a suction hood, it is necessary to make a hole towards the

outside (i.e. in the open air) for the scavenging of the fumes.

WARNING! It is absolutely forbidden for the user to connect the air

discharge of the hood, when used as a suction hood, to boiler chimneys, gas, fume or

vapour scavenging chimneys or any other duct, even only ventilation ducts, which

have been used or will be used for other devices. Moreover, it is not permitted to

connect the scavenging pipe for fumes in other adjacent rooms or wellholes, or pipes

for fire-fighting devices.

In any case it is necessary to respect all norms concerning scavenging of the air.

Any user who does not adhere to these instructions is risking his own life and the lives of

others. In this case, the manufacturer declines any responsibility (see FIG.3).

2.4) If the hood is used as a suction hood, it is necessary to guarantee enough air-

exchange for instance making a hole for ventilation on the outside wall by qualified

personnel.

In case it is used an ELECTROLUX COOKER HOOD in an low energy consumption

house or in a house with confort air, it is necessary to follow the data of the producer, in

order not to affect the air behaviour in a negative way.

If the cooker is gas, it is not advisable to use the hood at the same time as fireplaces,

furnaces, gas or other fuel stoves, or water heaters which burn up oxygen from the

environment in order to function, and in any case depression in the cooker area must be

below 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) and the room must be sufficiently aired.

If in doubt, national and international standards precisely indicate the rules for the state

of art installation of gas systems and for environment air change, to avoid the possibility

of incomplete combustions with the risk of poisonous fumes being emitted (see FIG. 4).

2.5) If the hood is to be used as a filtering hood, it is necessary to purchase carbon filters

(see ACCESSORIES).

26

Wall cooker hood in filtering version: the air flow that comes out can be conveyed to the

bottom due to too near side cabinets and the fumes that are taken away from the cooking

hob can affect negatively the aspiration flow. This effect can be minimized if both

cabinets are exactly at the side of the hood or at a right distance.

3 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION! The hood is equipped with standard fixing material. The person

who is mounting the hood should make sure that the fixing elements are right and suitable

for the walls and ceiling he finds. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for

damages caused by incorrect mounting.

3.1 DISMANTLING AND RE-POSITIONING OF THE GREASE FILTERS

To mount the hood or insert the carbon filters, it is necessary to gain access to the inside,

therefore the grease filters should be removed.

Attention: some cooker hoods are equipped with blind grease filters for side suction that cover

the real grease filters; in these cases before removing the grease filters it is necessary to take

away the blind filters by gripping them from the side and pulling them downwards. (Fig.5).

TO EXTRACT a grease-filter (see direction of arrow in FIG.5):

• pull the lever and take the grease filter out pulling it downwards.

TO RE-POSITION the grease-filter (SEE FIG.5 opposite direction to the arrow):

• insert the back side of the grease filter into its groove;

• pull the lever downwards and insert the front part of the filter;

• release the lever and make sure that the pin of the handle enters into its hole.

3.2 FITTING AND REMOVAL OF EVENTUAL CARBON FILTERS

If you wish to use the hood as a filtering hood, it is necessary to fit the carbon filters.

The carbon filters which contain activated carbon ARE OPTIONAL, and can be bought

separately.

It is available a kind of carbon filter that can be regenerated for which the mounting and use

instruction are given separately with the filter. (see Fig.6b).

Follow the following procedure for mounting:

• pay attention to the shape of the joints;

• insert the back side into its groove;

• lift the front side of the carbon filter, until it is blocked in position;

• clamp the filter by rotating the 2 knobs at 90°.

To remove a carbon filter proceed as follows: (see FIG.6a, opposite direction of arrows):

• rotate the two knobs at 90°;

• pull the front side of the filters downwards;

• fully extract, by removing the back of the filter from the groove.

3.3 MOUNTING THE HOOD TO THE WALL

3.3.1 PREPARATION OF THE DECORATIVE CHIMNEY ATTACHMENTS

To mount the decorative chimney, it is necessary to arrange for a ceiling attachment.

The support bracket is of such a shape that it can be fixed to the ceiling or the side wall (SEE

FIG. 7).

To fix the bracket, proceed as follows:

• decide exactly where on the ceiling (or on the wall), the support bracket for the chimney is

to be fitted;

• make support and safety fixing holes with a drill;

• fit the screw plugs in the holes;

27

• fit the screws in the plateholes and in the plugs;

• tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

3.3.2 FIXING TO THE WALL

To fix the hood to the wall, proceed as follows:

• based on the technical drawing, mark the position of the support and safety fixing holes on

the wall with a pencil, in such a way that the base of the hood is at the distance from the

cooker hob, as indicated in par. (2.1) and that it is horizontal. Mark the position of the

holes with a pencil making a small cross on the wall.

• drill the support and safety fixing holes in the positions marked;

• fit the metal hooks to the support holes (see FIG.8) complete with plug and screws,

completely inserting the plastic plug and keeping the curved part on the outside and facing

downwards; in the safety fixing holes only insert the plastic plug;

• tighten the support screws;

• rest the back of the hood on the wall and insert the hooks into the corresponding slots;

• make sure the hood is stable;

• holding the cross notched screwdriver in your hand; slowly tighten the horizontal alignment

screws one at a time, until the hood is perfectly horizontal above the cooker hob. The use

of a level will help in this operation;

• insert the screws into the safety holes;

• tighten the safety holes with the screwdriver.

3.3.3 MOUNTING OF THE SCAVENGING PIPE

If the hood is to be used as a suction hood, to apply the pipe proceed as follows:

• measure the distance to be covered by the pipe and obtain parts of the right size;

• insert the hood outlet mouthpiece into the pipe and block it;

• connect the lengths of pipe up to the hole towards the outside;

• connect the pipe to the end which goes outside;

• make electrical connection (see par.4).

3.3.4 MOUNTING OF THE DECORATIVE CHIMNEY

The decorative chimney shown in FIG. 7 is composed of 2 parts of metal sheet which slide

one inside the other. To mount the chimney please proceed as follows:

• the 2 parts of the chimney are mounted as shown in FIG.7;

• position the base part of the chimney with holes matching the ones on the hood;

• insert the screws if available, on the bottom of the chimey and fix them;

• let the telescopic part of the chimney slide to the height necessary to touch the ceiling and

come into contact with the chimney bracket;

• tighten the screws on the chimney bracket to the ceiling.

3.4 GENERAL WARNING

The pipe must be heat, flame and corrosionproof. The producer strongly advises against the

use of reducers or pipes with smaller diameter than the hood outlet pipe, and pipes made of

flexible aluminium because performance is diminished.

The end part of the pipe, on the outside of the hole on the wall, must be of such a shape to

avoid rain, gusts of wind or other foreign bodies getting into the pipe. Should there be any

doubt, contact anyone specialising in the installation of gas or ventilation system.

28

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

4.1 WARNING

The electrical connection can only be carried out by qualified professional personnel, using

standard material and state of the art installation methods. The manufacturer declines any

responsibility for installations carried out by unskilled persons and for installations which are

not in conformity with the standard norms concerning electrical safety (both concerning

methods and materials).

4.2 ELECTRICAL TECHNICAL DATA

The electrical technical data are visible inside the hood after the removal of the grease filters.

4.3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

The flexible feed cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the hood

near the air outlet duct.

It is possible to effect two types of electric installation:

• fixed installation;

• installation by means of plug on a socket.

4.4 BEFORE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Before connection you must:

• check that the electrical data indicated are in conformity with the main voltage and

frequency values of the building where the hood is to be installed;

• check that the building is fitted with electric safety systems to protect against short circuits

and electric shock systems, according to the laws in force;

• install an electric socket (or connection point) with a bipolar switch, which has contacts

with an opening of at least 3 mms;

• if it is intended to install the hood with a plug, it is necessary that you have access to the

plug.

• always turn off the main voltage supply by means of the bipolar switch before connecting

and switch on again only when connections have been completed, tested and are safe.

29

5 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF REPAIRS ARE TO BE CARRIED

OUT

Repairs, including the replacement of the feed cable if necessary, are to be carried out only by

qualified personnel, using standard methods, instruments and materials. Any repairs carried

out by others could prove to be dangerous and could be a fire risk.

6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE and PRECAUTIONS

Before using for the first time, ensure that all the points in the previous paragraphs have been

complied with. MOREOVER remember:

• The hood is not proper for the use of children and people with reduced mental,

physical and sensorial capacities unless they have been trained on purpose by the

person responsible for their security. Children should be supervised to guarantee

that they do not play with the hood.

• not to cook “flambé” dishes, avoid flames directly underneath the hood;

• to avoid leaving on any hot plates which generate strong free flames underneath the

hood;

• to avoid any strong flames being issued from under saucepans at the sides;

• when frying, not to allow oil to splash or overheat in the pan, as this is a fire risk;

• before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the main

supply, by means of the main switch or the bipolar switch or by removing the plug;

• if other gas equipment or equipment which consumes oxygen from the environment

is used, ventilation must be sufficient. For safe ventilation, maximum depression in

the room should not exceed 4 Pa (0,04 mbar) and there must be a hole on the

outside facing wall (suitably positioned and dimensioned);

• never use the hood without the grease filters;

• keep the grease filters clean, taking into account the recommended cleaning

suggestions;

• replace the carbon filters (if the hood is used as a filtering hood), as indicated;

• turn on the hood motor before you start cooking;

• turn off the hood motor about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking;

• do not use the hood to suction gas, fumes, vapours or other substances different

from the normal fumes in the kitchen.

7 FUNCTION AND USE

In FIG. 9 you see the 2 different kinds of controls:

FIG. 9a: soft touch control with display; see par. 7.1.1.

FIG. 9b: soft touch control with led points and push buttons screenprinted on s/steel.

See par. 7.2.1.

7.1.1 SOFT TOUCH CONTROL WITH DISPLAY AND BUTTONS (FIG. 9a)

The activated functions are listed as follows:

LIGHTS: to switch the lights on or off; (pressure inf. to 1 second);

O MOTOR OFF: turn the motor off;

T TIMER: if pressed when the hood is already functioning with one of the

pre-established speeds, timing is activated, that is a count down

of 15 minutes, after which the motor stops. During this time the

display indicates the speed number and the point led flashes;

- reduces the speed of the motor;

+ increases the speed of the motor;

P INTENSIVE SPEED: the intensive speed is the highest motor speed. It is

automatically excluded after 5 minutes and the hood goes back

to the 2

rd

speed.

DISPLAY MEANING OF THE SYMBOLS:

STAND_BY: The motor of the hood is off;

..... first, second , ….speed;

intensive speed activated;

flashing led point: the timer is in action;

(FLASHING F LETTER) grease-filters should be cleaned;

only in case of filtering hood (flashing C letter) carbon filters should be

replaced or regenerated.

7.1.2 AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF GREASE AND CARBON FILTERS

The electronic controls with display allow automatic control of the grease filters and the carbon

filters (only when the hood is used in the filtering version), so that the user does not have to

remember when maintenance was last carried out.

When the metallic grease filters have to be cleaned, the letter F on the display will flash.

When the carbon filters have to be replaced, the letter C on the display will flash.

It is possible to consult the electronic system concerning how clean the grease filters are and

how worn the carbon filters are, as follows: stop the motor and ...

31

… to find out how clean the fat filters are, press the O and

- buttons at the same time. On the

display, a number between 0 and 9 will appear, the smaller the number, the dirtier the filter is;

… to find out how worn the carbon filters are, press the buttons O and

+. On the display, a

number between 0 and 9 will appear, the smaller the number, the more worn the filter is.

7.1.3 TO PUT THE GREASE AND/OR CARBON FILTER CONTROL BACK TO ZERO:

• stop the motor (stop position);

• push the push-buttons 0 (zero) and T (timer) at the same time for a few seconds. This

symbol appears

and a “bip“ is issued.

7.1.4 SETTING THE SUCTION /FILTERING USE OF THE HOOD

The hood is delivered standard for suction use (only with flashing F letter). If you wish to use it

in the filtering version (F and C flashing) proceed as follows:

press the buttons

and T on the display for about 5 seconds, the following symbol will

appear followed by a 0.

• At each pressure of the Light Button, it is possible to change the value shown from the O

(suction function), to 1 (filtering function) and viceversa.

• Press the O button (zero) to confirm the choice effected in the previous point.

7.2.1 SOFT TOUCH CONTROLS WITH PUSH BUTTONS SCREENPRINTED ON S/STEEL

(FIG.9b)

WARNING !

To activate the functions connected to these push buttons, it is necessary

to apply a little pressure just lightly and for a short time. If pressure is too lengthy on

the push buttons the connected functions are not activated.

The functions activated by the push buttons are as follows:

LIGHTS: switch the lights on and off;

O MOTOR OFF: turn the motor off;

- reduces the motor speed;

+ increases the motor speed;

TIMER: if pressed when the hood is already functioning with 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th

speed, the led point connected with the selected speed, starts to flash for 10

minutes, after which motor automatically stops.

MEANING OF THE LED POINTS: if the leds connected with the speeds are flashing, there is

a timing running.

1st Speed;

2nd Speed;

3rd Speed;

4th Speed;

5th Speed; led point is flashing;

6th Speed; led point is flashing.

5th and 6th Speed must be used just for short periods as the hood is taking in a big quantity of

air so after 10 minutes the motor is automatically reset to the 3rd speed.

7.2.2 AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF GREASE AND CARBON FILTER

the electronic controls with led points allow automatic control of the grease filters and carbon

filters (only in case the hood is used in filtering version) so that the user does not have to

remember when maintenance was last carried out.

When the grease filters require

cleaning, an acoustic signal is issued

32

for some seconds and the led point above the timer push button keeps on flashing.

When the carbon filters need replacing

or regeneration, an acoustic signal is

issued for some seconds and the led

point above the light push button keeps on flashing.

7.2.3. TO PUT THE GREASE AND CARBON FILTERS CONTROL BACK TO ZERO

To put the grease filter counter back to zero you must:

• stop the motor;

• press the timer push button twice in succession, until you hear the acoustic signal.

To confirm reset the led point stops flashing.

To put the carbon filter counter back to zero you must:

• stop the motor;

• press the light push button twice in succession until you hear the acoustic signal.

To confirm reset, the led point stops flashing.

ATTENTION: The light push button does not switch on/off the lights until you hear

acoustic signal.

7.2.4 SETTING OF THE SUCTION/FILTERING USE OF THE HOOD

The hood is delivered standard for suction use.

If you wish to use the hood in the filtering version, proceed as follows:

• disconnect hood from electricity and then reconnect this to electricity;

• the led-point of the light push button will flash for approx. 10 seconds. During this time

press the light push button 3 times. Three acoustic signals are issued to point out the new

setting.

ATTENTION: during the suction/filtering setting phase no function can be activated.

If the hood is set for suction, when connected the led point over the LIGHT Push Button is

flashing. If the hood is set for filtering, when connected the led point over the

TIMER Push Button is flashing.

8 MAINTENANCE

8.1 CLEANING OF GREASE FILTERS

The metallic grease filters are positioned on the bottom of the hood and are used to contain

any grease which is normally emitted in cooking fumes, thereby impeding the deterioration of

the motor.

For washing by hand, use hot water and soap; this can be done by hand brushing vigorously

several times and then rinsing under the tap.

After washing, the grease filters should be dried and re-fitted correctly.

It is possible that after washing the filter colour changes slightly.

In this paragraph guide lines are given, which should be complied with.

WARNING !

We recommend washing grease filters after 50-100 hours of use of the hob. If grease

filters are dirty, motor can take in just a small quantity of air and performance is reduced;

The grease which accumulates on dirty filters is easily inflammable and CAN CAUSE

FIRES, if not eliminated by periodic washes.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for fires caused by poor maintenance of

the grease filters.

33

8.2 CARBON FILTERS

The carbon filters at the suction outlet of the motor, are used to retain the odours of kitchen

fumes. It is not necessary to use carbon filters, if the hood is used for suction use.

The use of carbon filters is necessary if you use the hood as filtering.

We have 2 kinds of carbon filters: Carbon filters that can be regenerated 8.2.1 and Carbon

Filters that cannot be regenerated (see 8.2.2).

8.2.1 CARBON FILTER AK WHICH CAN BE REGENERATED

For carbon filter that can be regenerated you also find an instruction with the filter.

The carbon filter that can be regenerated is marked with 230 °C on the frame.

INSTRUCTIONS

The carbon must be regenerated before the first use as the carbon, even if special active

carbon, takes on humidity. The humidity must be taken away.

Put the filter cassette on the grill of your oven and let is warm up for 1 hour at 230°. Then wait

for 2 hours to let it become completely cold. If the filter is remounted before 2 hours the hood

can be damaged by remains of hot carbon. The process of regeneration can cause a light

change in the colour of the filter cassette. After this time the filter can be remounted in the

hood.

REGENERATION

Humidity and grease particules reduce the performances of air delivery and for this reason the

filter must be regenerated according to the time given in the instruction booklet.

Put the filter- cassette on the grill of your oven and let it warm up for 1 hour at 230°C. Then

wait for 2 hours to let it become completely cold. Only after this time the filter can be

remounted and your hood can work for other 4 months. If you use the hood in an intensive

way, the filter must be regenerated in shorter time. After 4 years the filter looses its

effectiveness and must be completely replaced (it is not possible to add special carbon)

8.2.2 CARBON FILTERS THAT CANNOT BE REGENERATED

WARNING: (FOR CARBON FILTERS THAT CANNOT BE REGENERATED)

WE RECOMMEND REPLACING CARBON FILTERS AFTER APPROX. 200-300 HOURS

OF USE OF THE HOB.

CARBON FILTERS CANNOT BE WASHED OR RE-CYCLED. THEY MUST BE

REPLACED WHEN THEY WEAR OUT.

Carbon Filters do not guarantee the interchange of oxygen in the air.

To ensure correct ventilation and air interchange in the kitchen, national and international

regulations exist, which should be respected.

The manufacturer denies any responsibility for fires caused by failure to replace the

carbon filters.

8.3 REPLACEMENT OF LAMPS

WARNING! Always replace the lamps with lamps which have the same electrical

characteristics (see TECHNICAL DATA). Before replacing the lamps, make sure that they are

cold and that power has been completely turned off.

To replace a halogen lamp with a fixed lamp proceed as follows (see FIG.10):

• dismantle the lamp frame by means of a screwdriver, making sure that the glass does not fall;

• take the faulty lamp out;

• take a new lamp, avoid touching it directly with your fingers, i.e. wrap it in paper;

• insert the two gudgeons into the holes;

• mount back the lamp frame.

34

9 CLEANING

To preserve the hood in good condition, clean this periodically following the advice given as

follows.

WARNING! Make sure that power has been completely turned off.

The detergent solution recommended is a combination of WATER and NEUTRAL LIQUID

SOAP. It is of vital importance that the liquid soap should not contain any grains which could

scratch the surface.

The solution should be applied first onto a soft cloth which is then rubbed over the shell. It is

important to follow the pattern of the satin finish with the cloth (see FIG.11).

IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO POUR LIQUIDS DIRECTLY ONTO THE HOOD.

The cloth used should not have any buttons, zips, fasteners or anything else which could

scratch the surface.

The use of harsh abrasive or granular products, petrol, spirits or similar products which

could damage the surface of the materiall, is severely forbidden.

The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages either functional or to the

appearance of the hood, caused by cleaning operations carried out using unsuitable

products or unsuitable methods.
