Radio Control 2:

The pairing instructions are given in the manual supplied with the Radio Control.
When the Radio Control has been paired, both LEDs L1 and L2 on the hood will flash White.

Attention!: the main functions are indicated in the Radio Control manual; the manual also contains other indications of use and other functions with an explanation of how to activate them using the Radio Control. In cases where no reference is made to a specific Radio Control, the indications are valid for both.

Note: The two Radio Controls are interchangeable, so it is always possible to purchase the one not included with the product from the store at www.elica.com.

OPTIONAL OPERATION:
Hob selection.
The product is designed to adapt its performance in the best way possible according to the hob on which it works. By Default, the product is set to work with GAS hobs.
To change this setting, after pairing the Radio Control, see the chapter “Hob settings”.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION:
VOC sensor calibration
If the optional hob selection operation is NOT performed, the VOC sensor calibration starts automatically 2min. after the product has been connected to the mains. Calibration lasts 5 min. LED L1 flashes Green and switches off at the end of the calibration procedure. Please note! During calibration, the motor is switched on at speed 1. For more details on the VOC sensor, refer to the chapters dedicated to this function below.

USING THE CONTROLS
Suction speed
This product is equipped with 5 suction speeds including 2 timed booster speeds:

• Booster 1 (speed 4) timed 15 min.
• Booster 2 (speed 5) timed 5 min.

After the minutes indicated above, the suction speed will go back to speed 2 automatically.

• Delay off
  Using the Radio Control, it is possible to program the delayed switch-off according to the suction speed (power) active at that time; the speeds at which this function can be enabled are the following:
  Speed 1 (low extraction): 20 min.
  Speed 2 (medium extraction): 15 min.
  Speed 3 (high extraction): 10 min.
  Note (only for products with Wi-Fi function): The Delay off function can be programmed in a more advanced way, when connected to the Elica Cloud, via the Elica Connect App. However, in this case, it will not be possible to manage the Delay off function from the Radio Control, until the Wi-Fi is reset or switched off.

  To be performed with the product switched off. The carbon filter saturation indicator light is usually deactivated, while the grease filter saturation indicator light is usually activated.
  With Radio Control 1:
  Odour Filter: Simultaneously press keys A+B+D for 2 sec. each press switches sequentially from active to inactive.(Active = LED L1 steady Red and LED L2 flashing Red. Inactive = LED L1 steady Red and LED L2 Off)
  Grease Filter: Simultaneously press keys A+B+C for 2 sec. each press switches sequentially from active to inactive. (Active = LED L1 steady Orange and LED L2 flashing Orange. Inactive = LED L1 steady Orange and LED L2 Off)
  Wait 10 sec. to save the chosen setting.
  With Radio Control 2:
  This procedure is described in the Radio Control manual. Wait 10 sec. to save the chosen setting.

• Filter saturation indicator lights
  The LEDs on the hood indicate the need to perform maintenance on the filters.
  Odour filter: L1 + L2 flashing Red.
  Grease filter: L1 + L2 flashing Orange.
  Note: The filter saturation indication is visible for 10 sec. when the hood is switched on. After performing maintenance on the filters, it is necessary to perform the filter saturation reset.

• Filter saturation reset
  This operation must be performed within the first 10sec. after switching on the product.
  The procedure is described in the Radio Control manual. Note: If there are two active warnings, for both grease and odour filters, the operation must be performed twice.

• Automatic suction speed function (VOC function): This product is equipped with a sensor (VOC sensor) that modulates the suction speed automatically according to the amount of smoke detected.
  This function must be enabled manually via the Radio Control or via the Elica Connect App.
  When the function is active, LED L1 will light up White. Once activated, if the sensor detects no smoke for a few minutes, the motor will be switched off.
  Note: The function will still remain active and if within the next 2 hours the sensor detects some steam, the motor will be restarted automatically. After 2 continuous hours without detecting any smoke, the function is disabled. It is always possible to disable this function manually, at any time, via the Radio Control or via the Elica Connect App.

• VOC sensor calibration:
  Calibration is necessary to allow the product sensor to work correctly; calibration is performed in two ways: Automatic: each time the hood is reconnected to the mains (e.g. the first time it is installed or after a power failure).
  Manual: Manual calibration requires that the product motor is OFF and that normal environmental conditions persist in the room where it is installed. This operation must be performed when automatic operation is unsatisfactory. With Radio Control 1:
  Simultaneously press A+D for 2 sec.
  With Radio Control 2:
  This procedure is described in the Radio Control manual. During calibration, LED L1 flashes Green.
  To cancel the current calibration, repeat the procedure used to start the calibration.
