Operation; Adjustable And Delayed Self-Switching Off; Maintenance Reminder; Maintenance And Cleaning - Galvamet HIDE Installation, Operating And Maintenance Manual

V OPERATION
The hood is equipped with a multi-speed motor.
It is advisable to use the low speed in ordinary conditions and the other speeds in cases of high concentration of odours
and fumes.
It is also advisable to start the hood when you start cooking and to keep it running until the odours disappear.
The controls (Fig. 5.1) are equipped with keys to switch on the TL lamp; to switch on the first speed and switch off the
fan press T1, to select the operating speed press T2-T3-T4.
To switch off the motor press T1: once, if used in 1st speed; twice if used in 2nd, 3rd, 4th speed.
Press T4 to select the maximum speed of the fan for 5 minutes (flashing key), after which the fan will automatically
switch to 3rd speed.
V.1 Adjustable and delayed self-switching off
To activate the auto switch-off, turn on the hood at the desired speed and then press and hold the TL key (Fig. 5.1) for
a few seconds until all the LEDs start to flash. By pressing one of the keys (T1,T2,T3,T4) you can program the auto-off
time, as follows:
T1 equal to 5 minutes, T2 equal to 10 minutes, T3 equal to 15 minutes, T4 equal to 20 minutes.
During the auto switch-off time, the set speed can be changed. If the maximum speed is chosen, after 5 min. it
automatically switches to the 3rd speed and the auto switch-off will take place at this speed.
V.2 Maintenance reminder
Metal anti-grease filters
Once the hood is switched off, after 30-hour functioning, all the LEDs of the speed buttons switch on with a fixed light
for 30 seconds to remind that the anti-grease metal filter needs cleaning. To set the timer to zero keep the button T4
(Fig. 5.1) pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise the timer will remain set on 30-hour functioning and the
reminder will appear when the hood is switched off again.
Activated anti-odor charcoal filter (for ductless hoods)
Every 120 hours of operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs of the speed buttons turn on with a flashing
light for 30 sec. as a reminder of the replacement of the activated anti-odor charcoal filters and the metal anti-grease
filters cleaning. To reset the timer, simply hold the T4 key down (Fig. 5.1) with the blower off, otherwise, the alarm
will appear again the next time the hood is switched off.
VI MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Warning! Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, disconnect the hood from the power
supply by setting the main switch of the domestic system to "off".

VI.1 Metal grease filter

Particular attention should be paid to the metal grease filter, which has the function of retaining the fat particles
contained in the vapors. The grease filter must be washed when the warning appears or at least once a month, use hot
water and detergent (or put it in the dishwasher). The filter may become discolored after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean that it needs to be replaced.
To carry out maintenance on the grease filters, it is essential to remove them from the hood. To remove the metal
grease filters, simply open the panel underneath and pull them out (Fig. 3.2.3).
Now you can proceed with cleaning the filters. We recommend that you only refit the grease filters when they are
perfectly dry.
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore extremely
important to clean the metallic filters regularly.
