GALVAMET ARIA-IN Built-in Cook Hood Instruction Manual

Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed in accordance with European Standards and with the requirements included in the following Directives: 2006/95EC (Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

WARNINGS

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 plant.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data plate inside the unit match those available at the installation site. 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 Centre, 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 (Fig. 1) or if the device is equipped with a plug, simply unplug it from the mains socket (Fig. 2).


This product can be installed at reduced distances from the hob compared to a normal kitchen hood. In this condition, the heating of all the surfaces of the hood, even those inside the cabinet, is completely normal and is not a sign of malfunction. Heating is accentuated if the hood is installed above a gas hob. It is therefore recommended not to store flammable material above the hood body inside the wall cabinet.
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.

USE

This hood has been designed to work exclusively in filtering mode.

The aspirated fumes pass through the Plasma filter and are re-introduced into the kitchen without odors. If necessary, connect a pipe to the engine outlet to expel the intake air out of the cabinet. The pipe must have the same diameter as the motor output and must have smooth internal surfaces.

INSTALLATION

Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
In order that the minimum distance between the support surface of the cooking vessels in a gas hob and the low voltage components present in the hood is at least 65cm. as required by current legislation, the lower part of the hood should be no less than 50cm away from these supports. If the installation instructions for the gas hob indicate a greater distance, it must be taken into account. (Fig. 4).

It must not be superimposed on stoves with an upper radiating plate. Respect all the air discharge regulations.

The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced by gas-fed equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this does not apply to filtering hoods).

The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used together with other gas or fuel equipments.

The hood placed above an induction hob can cause condensation, this is a normal phenomenon and not due to malfunctioning of the product. For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the installation area.

For the installation of this hood, the minimum internal height of the cabinet must be at least 46cm. (Fig. 4)
The hood is provided with a steel telescopic rear spacer. This is intended to adapt the depth of the hood to that of the wall unit (from 30cm to 35cm). Extract the spacer from the hood until you reach the depth of your wall unit and fasten it to the hood with the supplied screws (Fig. 5).

To fix the back of the cabinet to the hood, use the supplied backrest lock. Adjust the position of the backrest stop according to the position of the back of your wall unit and fix it with the supplied screws as indicated in (Fig. 6)
Remove the grease filters, insert the hood into the cabinet and fix it with the supplied screws (Fig. 7).

The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation, which are suitable for most surfaces. Verify that the installation surface is strong.

Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:

1. Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be  disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation of the equipment.
2. By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.

Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.

OPERATION

The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at higher speeds only when there is a heavy build-up of fumes or odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated.
The controls (Fig.8) include buttons to switch the TL lamp and the motor on, as well as to select the operating speed T1-T2-T3-T4.

When button T1 is pressed once, the motor starts in 1st speed; pressing it twice switches it off regardless of its speed. Buttons T2-T3-T4 switch the motor on in 2nd, 3rd and 4th speed; to switch if off press T1. LEDs L1-L2-L3-L4 show the selected speed. Button T4 selects the extractor maximum speed for 5 minutes (flashing button), after which the extractor will automatically switch to 3rd speed.
Adjustable and delayed self-switching off: To activate the automatic switch-off, turn the hood on and then keep button “T1” pressed for a few seconds until all LEDs start flashing. Pressing one of the buttons (T1, T2, T3, T4), you can program the automatic switch-off time that will be different according to the button pressed (T1 = 5 minutes, T2 = 10 minutes, T3 = 15 minutes, T4 = 20 minutes). During the automatic switch-off time, the set speed can be modified. If you choose maximum speed, this switches to 3rd speed after 5 minutes and the auto switch-off will take place at that speed. If the choice of switch-off time matches the set speed, the speed LED flashes; if the selection is different, the speed LED is lit continuously.
Light indicator for grease filter maintenance: after every 30 hours’ operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs will light steadily for 30 seconds, to highlight the aluminium filters need to be cleaned. Keep buttons T1+T4 pressed for 7 seconds with the hood off, in order to reset the timer. If no reset is done, all the LEDs will remain lit steadily for 30 seconds every time the hood is switched off.

MAINTENANCE

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 antigrease filters must be washed at least once a month or, if present in this model, when indicated by the electronic notice, with detergent in hot water (or in the dish-washer). The filters may discolour after a few washes, this is normal and does not mean they have to be replaced. To remove the metal grease filters, use the handle (Fig. 8). It is recommended to refit the metal grease filters only if perfectly dry.

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 Plasma anti-odor filter does not require any particular maintenance and its duration is about 10 years while maintaining its efficiency in eliminating the virus odors bacteria in the air.

The correct operation of the Plasma filter is indicated by the lighting up of the green light inside the cooker hood (Fig. 10). The filter starts automatically
when the air passes. If the light turns off with the aspirator running, this would mean a malfunction of the filter.

To adjust the force of the curtain’s opening brake (Fig.9):
Even with the hood installed, remove the clips (A), remove the cover (B), adjust the nut (C) clockwise to tighten or anticlockwise to loosen. We also suggest inserting a drop of thread locker. Repeat the operations in reverse to reassemble.

The hood features a LED light that, in addition to offering a good lighting and a significant energy savings, are guaranteed to last on average 10 times more than traditional lights. For replacement, contact the Assistance Service.

In order to remove the remaining glue or any impurity, the cooker hood must be cleaned immediately after installation and after having removed the protective film.
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.

All the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance can be performed without having to remove the hood.
