Safety Rules - Electrolux GR13 Instructions De Montage

This model may be used as an exhaust or filter hood. Since
these instructions cover more than one type of hood within the
same series, it may be that reference is made to components
that do not form part of the hood that you are installing. If
evacuation is available (exhaust duct or air flue) we recommend
using the hood in the exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen
vapours and odours outdoors.
Exhaust version
The hood must be connected to a duct to vent all the exhausted
air outside the kitchen. Over horizontal areas, if any, the duct
must be slanted out about 10% upwards of the hood in direction
towards the outside.
Note — By reducting of the exhaust ducting and as well by
increasing the length and numbers of elbows of the ducting the
hood will lost on performance and could become noisy.
When using the exhaust version, follow these rules:
Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues and air
ducts serving the room.
Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in use,
ask for the approval of the person or agency responsible for the
building. The evacuated air must not be led into a warm air duct.
Suggestions for using the hood in exhaust
position
When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air
(e.g. gas, oil, coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time,
attention is required because the air necessary for combustion
is exhausted from the room through the hood and this creates
depression.
There is no such danger when the maximum depression in the
room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no exhaust gas from the heat
source is piped. To assure this condition, make openings in the
room which cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are not
sufficient) and through which the air necessary for combustion
can freely flow.
Note — All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house
should be studied. In case of doubts, get advice or authorization
from the person or agency responsible for the building. When
using gas burners, gas ovens etc. as well as when using the
hood in the filter version, these precautions are not necessary.
Filter version
This version is used when no exhaust duct to the outdoors is
available. The air is purified by an active carbon filter and
recycled into the room. Make sure the carbon odourfilter is
inserted.
The filter hood outlet spigot must be connected to a duct which
passes through the cabinet and discharges the filtered air out
of the same.
Installation
The hood is designed for installation in kitchen cabinets and
must be mounted over the center of the cooking area.
The minimum distance between the cooking area and the under
part of the hood must be 650 mm.
Note — The distance, however, is subject to the safety rules in
effect in the various countries.
To install the hood please consider the following dimensions:
52 = 468 x 260 mm
1. Put the panel, cut according to the above dimensions, on the
hood.
2. Prepare a hole for a tube of 130 mm diameter.
3. Remove the filter support or the filter grid (see instruction
"Substituition of grease filter") und put the hood under the
opening.
4. Fix the exhaust ducting onto the motor spigot and connect
the electric cable.
5. Insert the appliance into the cupboard and fix it in the
drillholes by means of the four provided screws (Fig. 1/1).
Electric connection
Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those
stated on the appliance rating label.
This appliances is double insulated to not connect to earth.
Attention: If the appliance does not have a plug, when making
a fixed installation, a cutoff device must be used to assure
omnipolar disconnection of the mains. The cutoff distance of the
contacts must be at least 3 mm. If the appliance is provided with
a supply cord and plug, the appliances must be positioned so
that the plug is accessible.
74 = 688 x 260 mm
Operating instructions
The hood has the following controls:
2/1 speed switch -
Maintenance
Note — When performing maintenance operations, disconnect
the plug from the socket.
Vapours and odours in the air are exhausted first through the
grease filter and then (if the hood is in filter version) through the
odour filter. The efficiency of the appliance depends on the
condition of the filters.
Grease filter
This absorbs vapour-suspendend grease particles and protects
the kitchen and furniture from greasy residues. There are three
different types:
1. Acrylic
It can be washed at more or less frequent intervals depending
on how often the hood is used. In any case, it should be
washed every thirty days of hood operation. To do so, wash
the filter by hand In warm soapy water (do not wring the filter,
press it in a cloth to dry).
2. Special paper (with coloured signs on the upper sureface ot
the filter). Not - washable: the filter must be changed, when
the signs will be visible from below through the grille holes.
3. Aluminium layers
The filter should be washed every 10-15 days (in normal
operating conditions). Dip the filter into a degreaser solution
or put it in the dish washer. Make sure not to damage the
filter which is made of several layers of thin alloy, by hitting
or crushing it. The aluminium filter will may change colour, that
will have no influence of the efficiency of the filter, may it will
improve it.
Active carbon odour filter
The exhausted air passes through the active carbon filter and
is cleaned.
This filter cannot be washed and must be replaced depending
on how often the hood is used (about twice a year).
Changing the grease and odour filters
1. Grab the opening tongue at the filter, pull it into your direction and
move the filter downwards (Fig. 3/1) To reinstall it operated
reversed. For the models with a filtergrid it is sufficient to push the
handle against one another and remove the filter grid. Unhook
the filterfastening and change the greasefilter.
2. To change the activ carbonfilter turn it counter clockwise (Fig.6/
2).
3. The inner cleaning of the hood should be done as follows:
Remove the greasefilter of Figure 3 as descripted in point 1. Pull
the two latsches against one another and remove the filter
support (Fig.4/1) and carry out the cleaning. For the units with a
filter grid remove the same as descripted in point 1.
Clean the outside of the hood with a sponge soaked with liquid
neutral detergent or with a cloth soaked with denatured ethyl
alcohol. Do not use products containing abrasives. If the lamps
fail to light when operating the switch, make sure they are
screwed in before calling a technician.
Note — The lamps must be only of «candle» type. Never use
lamps with higher rating than that indicated on the lamp lens.

Safety rules

Do not do any flambe cooking underneath the hood.
When frying, never leave the pan alone because the cooking oil
could flare up. Clean all the surfaces frequently to avoid danger
of fire. To do so use a cloth or a brush soaked in denatured ethyl
alcohol. It is also important to remove and clean or substitute
frequently all filters installed in the hood.
