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.

•Suction of air outside with a flue (optional) and
a discharge tube.
•Recirculating using a carbon filter (optional). .

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

Extraction mode
•In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside
via a hose connected to the coupling ringA.
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.

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.

Control device for grease and
charcoal filters
This hood is fitted with a device that signals when it
is necessary to clean the grease filter or the
charcoal filter (in the case of recirculation version
with charcoal filter).
On delivery, the hood is not supplied with an
charcoal filter, so the saturation indicator will be
HI
disabled.
If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the
saturation
indicator light must be enabled as follows:
Press buttons B and G simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds. At first only the grease filter
LED D will light up, but when the charcoal filter
LED E lights up the saturation indicator will be
enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons B and G again
simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED E
goes out.
Grease filter LED (D)
LED D will start to flash when it is time to clean
the grease filter.
Cleaning will be necessary after 40 working hours.
Always comply with the maintenance instructions
for the grease filter.
Charcoal filter LED (E)
The charcoal filter LED E will start to flash when
the charcoal filter needs to be replaced.
This operation is necessary after approximately 160
working hours.
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button
A for 3 seconds until the Led D or the Led E
stops flashing.
Warning! The resetting of the saturation indicator
MUST be donein stand-by, never disconnect the
hood from the mains.
