Description of the Appliance

•The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
Attention! The EFCR 90441 model is designed exclusively as suction versions and must therefore be connected to an external suction system.
Extraction mode
•In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring.
•In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recirculation mode
•The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
•You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).
•Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3.5x9.5 mm.

•Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared.
•The hood can also be commanded from the control panel or the remote control. (the remote control is a special accessory and is ordered separately).
•The control panel consists of a knob and 2 LEDs; it is located
at the bottom right-hand side of the cooker hood. |

Charcoal filter |
• Fitting |
• The charcoal filter should only be GB used if you want to use the hood in
recirculation mode.
•To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).
•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated.
With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day,on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Fit the charcoal filter on the rear side of the grease filter, fix it with metal wires.
The metal wires are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood
•To remove proceed in the reverse order.
•Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit.
•The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.
EFC 6441: 1 carbon filter should be ordered for this model.
EFC 9441: 2 carbon filters should be ordered for this model.

•Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow these instructions.
•The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Safety warnings for the electrician
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. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar 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. IMPORTANT! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
IMPORTANT! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorized service assistance centre or similar qualified person.
