Safety warnings

For the installer

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a:

- EFG 535 100mm diameter hose.

- EFG 540 120mm diameter hose.

Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

• When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 600 mm gas cookers 650 mm coal and oil cookers 800 mm min.

• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant authorities.

• When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

• Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector’s office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

• If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the

aforementioned measures.

• When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

— short and straight outlet hose — keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum — never install the hoses with an acute angle,

they must always follow a gentle curve.

— keep the hose as large as possible

(preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

For the user

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

• Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.

• Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under careful control.

• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

• The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

• It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

• Never carry out any flambé cooking under

the hood.

• Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take

the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).

• It is very important to clean the hood and

replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Description of the Appliance

To the outside

• The cooker hood is supplied ready for use as a recirculation hood and may be used for extraction by removing the charcoal filter which has been fitted inside the cooker hood.

Extractor version

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

Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

• Remove the charcoal filter: EFI 635 Open the extraction grille: move the two sliders towards the centre (in the “OPEN” direction) and release the grille downwards. Fig. 2a. EFI 640 Remove the grease filters: first pull the handles upwards, then extract the filter outwards. Fig. 2b.

Turn the charcoal filter anti-clockwise to release it from its housing and remove it. Fig. 3. Attention! EFI 635: one charcoal filter EFI 640: two charcoal filters

To refit the extraction grille (EFI 635): it should be inserted above between the appropriate guides until it latches into place, and after having attached the grille to the cooker hood also in the lower part move the two sliders outwards (in the “CLOSED” direction). Fig. 2a.

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

Description of the Appliance

Recirculation Version - Fig. 4

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

• Mount the deflector to cover the cooker hood’s outlet hole. Fix it with one screw (EFI 635) or two screws (EFI 640).

• If the hood is installed inside a cabinet, then use a section of hose to direct the air over the cabinet top. Mount the deflector to cover the hole drilled through the cabinet top, fix it with two screws. The air must not be directed towards the wall.
