ELICA REEF IX/A/90 Manual

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Extraction version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

• Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
• Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
• Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

Filtration version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

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.

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Before beginning installation

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Operation

1. Lights ON/OFF
2. Motor ON/OFF
   When key "2" is pressed the motor passes to speed 1.
   If the key is pressed during working, the hood passes to OFF state.
3. Speed decrease
   When key "3" is pressed the speed decreases from 4 (intense) to 1.
4. Speed increase
   When key "4" is pressed with the hood in OFF state, the hood passes to speed 1.
   If the key is pressed during working, the speed increases from 1 to 4 (intense).
   The intense speed is timed. The standard timing is 5', at the end of which the hood sets at speed 2.
   To deactivate the function before the end of the time, press key "3", the hood sets at speed 3, when key "2" is pressed the hood turns off.
   A signal on the display corresponds to each speed:
   OFF: No signal
   Speed 1: 1
   Speed 2: 2
   Speed 3: 3
   Speed 4: 4 flashing
5. Display

Grease filter signalling

The grease filter is signalled by the display with number 1 flashing after 40 hours of use.
This means that the grease filter needs to be washed.
The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state. To eliminate the grease filter signalling, press key "2" for more than 3", until it turns off.
The signalling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.

Carbon filter signalling (only for filtering version)

The carbon filter is signalled by the display with number 2 flashing after 160 hours of use.
This means that the carbon filter installed must be replaced.
The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state. To eliminate the carbon filter signalling, press key "2" for more than 3", until it turns off.
The signalling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.

In case both filters are signalled at the same time, numbers 1 and 2 flash on the display alternately.
The signalling can be reset by carrying out the above described procedure twice.
First it resets the grease filter signalling, then the carbon filter signalling.

In the standard mode the carbon filter signalling is not active. In case the filtering version hood is used, it is necessary to enable the carbon filter signalling.

Activation of carbon filter signalling

Set the hood to OFF and keep keys "2" and "3" pressed contemporaneously for 3".
Numbers 1 and 2 flash alternately for 2".

Deactivation of carbon filter signalling

Set the hood to OFF and keep keys "2" and "3" pressed contemporaneously for 3".
Number 1 flashes for 2".

Temperature Alarm

The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which activates the motor at speed 3 in case the temperature in the display zone is too high.
The alarm condition is indicated by the display with the letter t flashing.
This condition remains as such until the temperature falls below the alarm threshold.
This mode can be quit by pressing key "2", "3" or "4". Every 30" the sensor checks the ambient temperature of the display zone.

Maintenance

Clean using ONLY a 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. 14-32

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 discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 31

It absorbs unpleasant odors 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 remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and 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.

Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole back into its housing (j).

It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter, neither washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months. The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together; the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to be used.
Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.

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.
For replacement, contact the technical service.
