1. ECOKITCHEN ELECTROSTATIC PURIFIER
The ECOKITCHEN cleaner, as it is supplied, cannot be used directly, but must be completed by all the other
elements that allow air collection and channelling.
The machine provides the electrostatic filter section and the deodorising activated carbon section for
purification and the electric fan for air intake. All other elements (channels, hoods, cabins, etc.) must be
provided on site by the user.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
The machine is composed of:
A - Structure containing the filters and the DEOX system
B - Structure containing the activated carbons and the fan
C - electric panel
D - screws and gasket kit
E - filtered air outlet
A - front and rear views
B - front and rear views
C - view of electric panel with brackets for wall
mounting
D - screws and gasket kit for coupling
For the commissioning, the two sections of Filtration+DEOX and Carbons+Fan must be joined together by
the special screw kit so as to form a single structure. The two sections are then joined together by the
special multipolar connector.

2. OVERALL DIMENSIONS
3. TRANSPORTATION AND PACKAGING
The machine is normally packed with a number of layers of bubble wrap and stretch film. Normally it does
not require a pallet as it is already equipped with feet that lift it from the ground and make it easy to move
with forklifts equipped with through-brackets.
For handling:
- protect the structure against any scratches and accidental blows
- do not place loads on top of it
- do not turn upside down
- do not expose to the elements.
All accessories are inserted inside the fan compartment. During transportation, the
external structure and control panel of the machine must not be damaged, so verify
immediately at the time of delivery that there is no visible damage. Sign the delivery
receipt conditional to verification. Use suitable lifting systems to unload or load machine
from means of transport and for installation.

4. FIELD OF APPLICATION
The machine can be used for:
- extracting fumes through a hood placed above the fumes emission point and connected to the machine by
means of a channel of suitable dimensions
- positioning the machine in a place that does not block normal work operations
- positioning in a point that does not cause danger during the handling of goods with transport and lifting
equipment (forklifts, bridge cranes ...)
- filtration of fumes that the machine is suitable for
- intake of fumes with a maximum temperature of 50 °C
Intake of air polluted by fumes must be done by means of a section of pipe of appropriate size. The pipe
must not oppose a higher resistance than the pressure characteristics of installed electric fan.
Maintaining high filtration performance depends on:
- intakes of pollutants alone, that the purifier is suitable for
- regular maintenance of the filters as described in the attached filters manual
POLLUTANTS THAT CAN BE FILTERED BY THE FILTERING SYSTEM
The purifier can be used in the presence of pollutants having the following characteristics:
dry fumes
low oil content fumes
very fine powders (up to 0.3 microns)
electrically chargeable fumes
The machine was built for the most common pollutants such as:
food cooking fumes and vapours from hoods with filters and labyrinths
fumes from welding ferrous materials
fumes from welding non-ferrous materials (aluminium, bronze, brass, etc..)
fumes from welding precious materials (gold, silver, etc..)
POLLUTANTS THAT CANNOT BE FILTERED
The purifier is not suitable for filtering substances with the following characteristics:
- water mists
- high quantities of powders
- shavings, iron filing powders and residues in general
- gas
The electrostatic filter must absolutely avoid all following substances:
- metal powders, even very fine ones
- combustion fumes from organic and inorganic materials (wood, coal, naphtha, diesel, petrol, etc..)
- explosive environments

5. MACHINE INSTALLATION
The place where the machine will be placed is under the sole responsibility of those who install and use this
equipment. It is therefore necessary to remember that the machine must not endanger people who pass
through or work nearby. All risks arising from normal work procedures as well as from extraordinary ones
that may occur, must be assessed.
The purifier should preferably be installed in a sheltered place, on feet or supports (not supplied) on the floor
or on walls or ceilings using non supplied suitable support systems.
It is also recommended to respect the following points:
do not turn the machine on its side
if the machine cannot be placed on the floor, create a raised supporting surface for the purifier
if the machine is placed outdoors it is necessary to set up a canopy and walls that protect it from
rain, the electrical panel must always be placed in a dry place.
Any elements needed for installation (supports, canopies, etc.) are not included in the supply and those
using this machine must set them up at the site.
For installation, proceed as follows:
position the machine in the established place
connect pipes or accessories required for fumes intake
connect electrical panel to electrical supply network
adjust any shutters on the air intake pipe
5.1 MECHANICAL CONNECTION
Verify that the installation space can contain the equipment and that there is enough space for safe
installation.
Identify the inlet and outlet of the different sections.

The 2 sections that make up the unit must be positioned on the same plane to connect them together.
Bring the units close together, with the outlet of the filtering section in front of the inlet of the ventilation
section
Apply the supplied adhesive gasket all along the entire perimeter of the filtering section

9
Join the 2 sections with the relative screws, using the relative self-centring blocks. Close with a 6mm Allen
key.
The two joined sections will form a single body and will then be electrically connected together by the special
electrical connector.

6. ELECTRIC PANEL INSTALLATION
The electrical panel is supplied with brackets for wall mounting and it is connected and wired up to the first
junction box by a flexible sheath with a standard length of 3m.
Mount the special brackets on the panel and fix it to the wall with suitable plugs.
Deliver the supply voltage by the supplied socket, observing the neutral and earth connections.
The phase sequence in three-phase systems does not matter since the fan is electronic and can never turn
in the opposite direction.
6.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
To power the machine, it is necessary to provide the power supply using the special plug supplied with the
electrical panel.
The connection must be set up by an electrician. The earthing system shall be provided by the user.
The electrical supply network for the panel must meet the following conditions:
For machines with single-phase power supply, recognisable by a 3-pin BLUE plug
Voltage : 230V +/- 10% Volt
Frequency : 50/60 Hz
Minimum available power : 1.5 kW
For machines with three-phase + neutral power supply, recognisable by a 5-pole RED plug
Voltage : 400V +/- 10% Volt between phases + neutral line
Frequency : 50/60 Hz
Minimum available power : 3.5 kW
6.2 DISASSEMBLY
Proceed as follows:
- disconnect the electrical panel from the electrical supply network
- disconnect the pipes or accessories set up for fumes intake
- disconnect the sections of the machine
- remove the machine
