Cobal GRP61S Cooker Hood

GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside – Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4×10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment
for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws
applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
-Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
-If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.
Warning!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.
Electric Connection:
-The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.
-The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
– In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.

Installation

The following instruction should be followed to carry out the correct installation of the cooker hood.

Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the cupboard.
Choosing the version (extractor, Fig.1A, or filter, Fig.1B

Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:
This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or inside another type of support structure. The overall measurements of the cooker hood are given in figure 2. Before proceeding with cooker hood installation, remove grille D by pressing the two side buttons A, as shown in figure 3. Fix the appliance in place using 8 screws (not supplied) which are suited to the type of cabinet. To install the cooker hood correctly, first fit the 4 screws A and then the 4 screws B, in accordance with the diagram in figure 4. After fixing the cooker hood to the lower part of the cabinet, place grille D (Fig.4) back in the correct position. During this procedure, make sure that grille D is fastened properly.
Extraction through an outside wall:
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to flange H (Fig.1A).
Recirculation:
To transform an extractor hood version into a filter hood version, contact your appliance dealer and ask for active charcoal filters. The filters should be fitted to the extraction assembly inside the hood, by centring them and rotating them 90 degrees, until they click into place (Fig.6). To perform this operation, first remove grille D (Fig.3). The air is released back into the room through air exhaust piping which passes through the cabinet and is connected to flange H (Fig.1B).

USE AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.
The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.
– To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
– In the event that acrylic anti-grease filters are used, handwash every 2 months, using neutral non-abrasive liquid detergents and replace them after every 6 washes.
– After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.
The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
– The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which antigrease filter is cleaned.
Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are completely dry.
Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with water or non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents.
The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.
Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
Replacing the aluminium panels:
To replace the aluminium panels, simply pull handle A as shown in Fig.4B.
Replacing the acrylic or metal panels:
To replace the acrylic or metal panels, first remove grille D by pressing the two side buttons A, as shown in figure 3. Remove the two filter clips B (Fig.5) and the acrylic or metal panel C. To reassemble the part, simply perform the procedure in reverse.
