Safety warnings

The hood is designed uniquely for non-professional use, in a domestic setting. It respects international quality
safety provisions and requisites. Safety measures cannot however eliminate all the risks of accidents.
Read the instructions, suggestions and warnings carefully before installing.
Pay particular attention to the texts with the triangular warning symbol beside them to avoid damage to people
and objects. We recommend keeping the instructions booklet, which must be supplied in case of sale or cession
of the hood to a third party.

Installation and assistance

• A specialised electrician must carry out any

electrical connection and a qualified person
must carry out the installation of the hood.
Installation of the work by unqualified personnel
can lead to malfunction of the hood and cause
damage to people and/or objects.

• The hood must be installed at least 50 cm above

the cooking top or electric cooker, or at least 65
cm above gas cookers or gas cooking tops.

• Respect the greater distances indicated in the

installation instructions of the cooking top.

• Check that the connection cable has not been

not crushed during installation.

• The hood is considered electrically disconnected

only when the plug is disconnected or the fuse
removed.

• Note that the discharge of the hood cannot be

connected to a conduit that is used to expel
fumes from apparatuses supplied by power
other than electricity, e.g. a boiler or a fireplace.

During use

• Never leave frying food, melted fats, paraffin or
other inflammable liquids remaining unattended
on the cooking top. In case of fire: Turn the
hood and the cooking top off immediately.
ATTENTION! Put the flame out with the cover
of a pan. Do not use water.

• It is forbidden to cook on the flame under the
hood because it may cause a fire. Remember
that overheated oil can begin to burn
spontaneously. Never leave frying food
unattended.

• The anti-fat filter of the hood must be cleaned
periodically to avoid fat dripping onto the
cooking top and causing a fire. Read the relative
“Maintenance and cleaning” chapter in the
instructions booklet.

Description of the appliance

Functions

There are two possible mode:

• Suction of air outside with a flue (optional) and
a discharge tube.

• Recirculating using a carbon filter (optional). .

Attention! The EFCR 943-941 models have been
designed exclusively as suction versions and must
therefore be connected to an external suction
system.

The discharge tube cannot be connected to a
flue of other apparatuses functioning with
sources of power other than electricity, e.g.
a boiler or a fireplace.

Accessories

The following accessories are supplied with the

hood:

• 1 cap complete with commands, lighting and
ventilation motor (the EFCR 943-941 models
lack the motor and must therefore be connected
to an external suction system);

• 1 telescopic flue consisting of an upper U
section and a lower U section;

• 1 montage template;

• 1 baffle (only the EFC 9436-9416 models);

• 1 plastic container with a wall consol for fixing
the hood, wall dowels and screws and the
documentation;

The following accessories can be ordered from

your dealer:

• Carbon filter, Type 20. An active carbon filter
must be used when the hood is connected to a
“recirculating” system.

D

A

Extraction mode

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside
via a hose connected to the coupling ring A.
Fig. 1.

• In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Recirculation mode

Attention! The EFCR 943-941models have been
designed exclusively for extraction mode and must
therefore be connected to an external suction
system.

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and
returned to the kitchen.

• You will need an original charcoal filter Type 20
for the recirculation mode. (See Special
Accessories).

How to use the hood - EFC/R 941/6

Control panel

• 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 control switches are located on the hood’s
front panel:

• the light switch switches the hood lamp ON
and OFF;

• ON/OFF switch Speed 1: used to turn the fan
off and to set the fan to speed 1.

• Speed 2: used to set the fan to speed 2.

• Speed 3: used to set the fan to speed 3.

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.

Important

If the hood is used together, for example, with an
open-fire fireplace that takes air from the interior
of the house, an eddy of air may take place that
produces smoke in the room. Try opening a
window.
This does not concern the carbon filter version.

Maintenance and care

h

i

g

g

h

g

g

Disconnect the hood from the power supply before starting any maintenance work by disconnecting the
plug or removing the fuse.

Clean the filter often. Deposits of fat on the filter and on the walls of the evacuation conduit are a fire
danger if, for example, a cooker is left on (or in the case of other kinds of overheating).

Cleaning the hood

Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth
and a neutral detergent.
Never use products containing corrosive and
abrasive agents or inflammable substances.

Cleaning the grease filter

Clean the filter every month or every two months,
depending on how often the hood is used.
The more the filter is cleaned, the greater will be
the amount of fat it can capture.

To remove the filter- Fig. 3:

• Press the metal clips on the anti-fat filter
backwards and remove the filter downwards.

The filter consists of an aluminium grid upon which
the fat is collected.
Clean the filter with detergent, immersing it in hot
water or putting it in the dishwasher. Wait until the
filter is dry before mounting it again.
Attention! Putting it into the dishwasher can make
the filter fade.

Cleaning/replacing the charcoal
filter

The active carbon filter must only be used if the
hood is to be used in the recirculation mode. The
active carbon filters absorb fumes and smells.
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, as
the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
