User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX EFC9720.1

[. . . ] The model you have selected is a decorative suction cooker hood which can also work as filtering hood. A SUCTION HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment and then expels them outside. It is not necessary to use carbon filters for purifying. A FILTERING HOOD extracts air, fumes and vapours from the inside environment, purifies them by means of carbon filters and then emits the purified air into the same environment. [. . . ] 3 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY The flexible feed cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the hood near the air outlet duct. Check that the electrical data indicated are in conformity with the main voltage and frequency values of the building where the hood is to be installed; · Check that the building is fitted with electric safety systems to protect against short circuits and electric shock systems, according to the laws in force; · Install an electric socket (or connection point) with a bipolar switch, which has contacts with an opening of at least 3 mms; · If it is intended to install the hood with a plug, it is necessary that you have access to the plug. Always turn off the main voltage supply by means of the bipolar switch before connecting and switch on again only when connections have been completed, tested and are safe. Repairs, including the replacement of the feed cable if necessary, are to be carried out only by qualified personnel, using standard methods, instruments and materials. Any repairs carried out by others could prove to be dangerous and could be a fire risk. Before using for the first time, ensure that all the points in the previous paragraphs have been complied with. The hood is not proper for the use of children and people with reduced mental, physical and sensorial capacities unless they have been trained on purpose by the person responsible for their security. Children should be supervised to guarantee that they do not play with the hood. Not to cook "flambé" dishes, avoid flames directly underneath the hood; to avoid leaving on any hot plates which generate strong free flames underneath the hood; to avoid any strong flames being issued from under saucepans at the sides; when frying, not to allow oil to splash or overheat in the pan, as this is a fire risk; before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the main supply, by means of the main switch or the bipolar switch or by removing the plug; if other gas equipment or equipment which consumes oxygen from the environment is used, ventilation must be sufficient. For safe ventilation, maximum depression in the room should not exceed 4 Pa (0, 04 mbar) and there must be a hole on the outside facing wall (suitably positioned and dimensioned); never use the hood without the grease filters; keep the grease filters clean, taking into account the recommended cleaning suggestions; replace the carbon filters (if the hood is used as a filtering hood), as indicated; turn on the hood motor before you start cooking; turn off the hood motor about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking; do not use the hood to suction gas, fumes, vapours or other substances different from the normal fumes in the kitchen. 11 you see the 2 different kinds of controls: FIG. 11a: soft touch control with display; see par. 11b: soft touch control with led points and push buttons screenprinted on s/steel. At each pressure of the Light Button, it is possible to change the value shown from the O (suction function), to 1 (filtering function) and viceversa. To activate the functions connected to these push buttons, it is necessary to apply a little pressure just lightly and for a short time. If pressure is too lengthy on the push buttons the connected functions are not activated. The functions activated by the push buttons are as follows: LIGHTS: switch the lights on and off; TIMER: if pressed when the hood is already functioning with 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th speed, the led point connected with the selected speed, starts to flash for 10 minutes, after which motor automatically stops. MEANING OF THE LED POINTS: if the leds connected with the speeds are flashing, there is a timing running. 1st Speed; 2nd Speed; 3rd Speed; 4th Speed; 5th Speed; led point is flashing; 6th Speed; led point is flashing. 5th and 6th Speed must be used just for short periods as the hood is taking in a big quantity of air so after 10 minutes the motor is automatically reset to the 3rd speed. 2 AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF GREASE AND CARBON FILTER the electronic controls with led points allow automatic control of the grease filters and carbon filters (only in case the hood is used in filtering version) so that the user does not have to remember when maintenance was last carried out. When the grease filters require cleaning, an acoustic signal is issued for some seconds and the led point above the timer push button keeps on flashing. [. . . ] To ensure correct ventilation and air interchange in the kitchen, national and international regulations exist, which should be respected. Always replace the lamps with lamps which have the same electrical characteristics (see TECHNICAL DATA). Before replacing the lamps, make sure that they are cold and that power has been completely turned off. Take out the circular spring in contact with the glass, grasping the edges; · Take out the faulty bulb and replace it with a new one; · Lift the lamp positioning it into its seat and re-insert the circular spring.
