Maintenance - Galvamet AURA Handbuch

Adjustable and delayed self switching off
With the hood ON, select the desired speed, then keep the button of the speed corresponding to the desired minutes of self-power off
pressed until it flashes, taking the following into account:
T1 equals 5 minutes
T2 equals 10 minutes
T3 equals 15 minutes
With the operation with self-power off it is possible to modify the set speed.
IF MAXIMUM POWER IS SELECTED AFTER 5 MINUTES THE SPEED SWITCHES AUTOMATICALLY TO 3RD AND SELF-POWER OFF WILL TAKE PLACE IN
3RD SPEED.
If the selection of the switch-off time matches the set speed, the speed LED flashes; if the selection is different, the speed LED remains
fixed.
Filters maintenance reminder
Every 30 hours' operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs (TL, T1, T2, T3, T4) switch on continuously for 30 seconds, to warn that it
is necessary to clean the aluminium anti-grease filter. To clear the timer, keep T1 pressed with the extractor off until it bleeps, otherwise the
warning will be repeated next time the hood is switched off.
Every 120 hours' operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs (TL, T1, T2, T3, T4) flash intermittently for 30 seconds (two flashes and
one pause), to warn that it is necessary to replace the active charcoal filter and clean the aluminium anti-grease filter. To clear the timer,
keep T1 pressed with the extractor off until it bleeps, otherwise the warning will be repeated next time the hood is switched off.
Always disconnect the hood from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation.
Particular attention should be paid to the metallic anti-grease filters that are designed to trap particles of fat contained in the fumes. The
metallic anti-grease filters must be washed at least once a month with detergent in hot water (or in the dish-washer).
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore extremely important to clean the metallic filters on a
regular basis as per instructions.
The activated charcoal filters are designed to collect unpleasant odours in the cooking fumes. The air is then released purified in the
environment. The charcoal filters must not be washed, but replaced 2 or 3 times a year, depending on how much the hood is used. New
filters are to be requested directly to the manufacturer.
In order to replace the activated charcoal filters, turn the filters until they unfasten from aspirator.
Invert the operation in order to install the new charcoal filters.
The cooker hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a month).
Do not let dirt gather on the inner and outer surfaces of the hood.
To clean the exterior of the hood do not use either acid or basic products, or abrasive sponges.
Clean the hood with a sponge dampen in warm water and a little quantity of neutral detergent (for example dishwasher detergent), in
order to remove possible particles of grease.
Rinse with a damp cloth, removing all the detergent carefully, following the satin finish direction on the steel surface.
Drying is very important, especially in areas where water is particularly hard and leaves limestone.
When replacing the lamp of the HALOGEN SPOTLIGHTS (Fig. 4) you should first of all take off the supporting ring of the glass (levering by
means of a screwdriver. Then you should take off the protecting glass to reach the lamp. Replace the lamp only with an analogous one
(halogen max. 20 W, 12 Volts). Complete the operation by fixing the protecting glass by means of the provided supporting ring.
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself, therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even
in case of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker hood is moved to another installation plant.
Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent
people. Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages. For any repair or needed technical action make reference
to a Technical Assistance Center, which is authorized to carry out the replacement of the spare parts.
Always make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are disconnected when the appliance is not in use.
By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical system.
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens. The manufacturer does
not accept any liability for damages caused by people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or by any illegitimate use.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) ratings indicated on the plate inside the cooker hood correspond to the ones
available in the installation place.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy implies the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:
• This equipment is not intended for people (children included) with reduced mental or motor capacities, with lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised or unless a person responsible for their security, gives them instructions regarding the use of the
equipment. Children must be supervised in order to be sure that they do not play with the equipment.
• Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn't been disconnected from the main power supply and if the main switch of the
house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is not carried out according to these instructions, a fire may break out.
• Do not pull, take off or twist the cable coming out from the appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the main power supply.
• Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
• Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and into the air discharge.
• Do not take out the filters in order to reach the internal sides of the appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical system is not off.
• Do not singe or flambé directly underneath the cooker hood. Take particular care when frying to ensure that the oil does not catch fire.
