Information about safety
The hood is destined uniquely for non-professional use in a domestic setting. It complies with international
safety quality regulations and requisites. The safety measures cannot, however, eliminate all risks of accidents.
Read the instructions, suggestions, and warnings carefully before installing and starting to use the hood.
Pay particular attention to the paragraphs with a triangular warning symbol to avoid damage to people or
ob ects. We recommend conserving the instructions booklet that must be supplied in case of sale or cession of
the hood to third parties.
For the installer
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be
fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.
ttention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
Concerns only model: EFC 9426-6426:
 The hood must be installed at a distance of least
65 cm above the cooking top or electric plates,
or at least 65 cm above gas rings or gas tubes.
 The hood is considered disconnected only when
the plug is disconnected or the fuse removed.
 Observe the rules and regulations concerning
the elimination of fumes. The waste disposal
tube of the hood cannot therefore be connected
to a conduit that is used for removing fumes
from equipment supplied by power different to
electricity, e.g. a boiler or a fireplace.
Concerns only model: EFCR 942:
 The hood must be installed at a distance of
least 50 cm above the cooking top or electric
plates, or at least 65 cm above gas rings or gas
tubes.
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.
 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 local
authorities.
 When the unit is used in extraction mode, 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 approxi-
mately 500-600 cm
2
large to avoid the possibility
of a depression being created during operation of
the hood.
 If you have any doubts, contact the relevant

43
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 cm
2
, which is
to say a larger hole, could reduce the performan-
ce of the extractor hood.
 If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, 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 extraction mode, 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).
 the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.
 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.
lways 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.
 Older children must be supervised if using the
appliance.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
 W RNING - nsure that the appliance is
switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid
the possibility of electric shock.

Description of the aspiration hood
Functions
Two systems are possible:
 Aspiration of the air outside with a flue
assembly (optional) and a waste disposal tube.
 Recirculation of the air using an active carbon
filter (optional).
Attention! The EFCR 143 model has been
designed exclusively in the aspiration mode and
must be connected to an external aspiration
system.
Attention! The EFCR 942 model has been
designed exclusively in the aspiration mode and
must be connected to an external aspiration
system.
The aspiration hood cannot be connected to
the fume tubes of other apparatuses
functioning with sources of power other than
electricity, e.g. a boiler or a fireplace.
Accessories

How to use the hood
Control Panel
The best results are obtained using low speed with
normal cooking and a higher speed in the case of
a particular concentration of fumes.
We advise switching the hood on a few minutes
before starting to cook so as to obtain a vacuum
in the kitchen and to leave it working at the end of
cooking for another 15 minutes until all fumes and
odours have disappeared. The commands are on
the front panel of the hood.
A  Motor switch-off key
B  Hood switch-on key and speed selection 1-
2-3-1-2
C 1
st speed indicator 1 (LED)
D- 2
nd speed 2 and saturation of the anti-fat filter
indicator (LED)
E  Intensive speed indicator
F  Intensive speed key (LED). Intensive speed
lasts 5 minutes. If the hood is working when
intensive speed is started, it will return to the
previously set speed once the time has passed
(5 minutes). If the hood is off when intensive
speed is started, it switches off automatically at
the time limit (5 minutes). It is, for example,
opportune to use intensive speed to evacuate
odours after finishing cooking.
H  Illumination OFF key.
I  Illumination ON key.
If the hood or the commands are not working,
disconnect the electricity supply for at least 5
minutes and start the apparatus again.
Control device of the saturation
of the anti-fat and active carbon
filters.
The aspiration hood is equipped with
a device that signals when the anti-fat
or active carbon filter (recirculation
with carbon filter version) needs
cleaning.
The hood is delivered from the factory without the
carbon filter and therefore the LED that signals
filter saturation is inactive.
Activate the LED as indicated below if the hood
has to be used with the carbon filter:
Press keys B and G simultaneously for three
seconds. The D anti-fat filter LED lights up and
then the E carbon filter LED as well. The LED
that signals the saturation of the active carbon filter
has been activated.
Deactivation. Press keys B and G simultaneously
for three seconds until the E carbon filter LED
switches off.
Grease filter LED (D)
The D LED begins to flash when the anti-fat filter
needs to be washed.
The anti-fat filter must be changed after about 40
hours of use. Follow the instructions for changing
the anti-fat filter.
The active carbon filter LED (E)
The E LED begins to flash when the active carbon
filter must be changed.
The anti-fat filter must be changed after about 160
hours of use. Follow the instructions for changing
the active carbon filter.
estoring the saturation
indicator
After having carried out maintenance on the filter,
keep key A held for 3 seconds until the LED of
the anti-fat filter D or the LED of the carbon filter
E stops flashing
Attention! Restoring the saturation indicators
MUST be carried out with the hood set in Stand-
by and therefore without disconnecting the hood
from the power supply.
Correct ventilation
A vacuum must be created in the kitchen for the
correct functioning of the hood.
It is important to keep the kitchen windows
closed and have a window open in an ad acent
room.
Important
If the hood is used together, for example, with an
open fireplace that takes air from inside the house,
a draught might occur that could bring fumes into
the room. Open a window.
This does not concern the active carbon filter
version.
