Parmco T4-12LOW-9IS Canopy Installation and Operating Instructions

General Information

Read the manual carefully. It contains important information regarding installation, safety, and maintenance. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

The appliance has been designed for use with the ducting option (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.1B), filtering option (air circulation on the inside - Fig.1A) or with an external motor (Fig.1C).

Safety Precautions

Take care when the canopy is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depends on the air in the environment, as the canopy removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace needs for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for safe operation of the canopy. Follow the local regulations in force for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

Ensure the voltage and data on the data plate correspond to the network and socket. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.

WARNING!

In certain circumstances, electrical appliances may be a danger hazard:

• Do not check the status of the filters while the canopy is operating.
• Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use or operation.
• Flambé cooking is prohibited underneath the canopy.
• Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and is a fire hazard.
• Constantly check food frying to avoid overheated oil becoming a fire hazard.
• Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the canopy is used at the same time as other appliances burning gas or fuels.
• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

Installation Instructions

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by qualified personnel.

Electric Connection

An earth cable is necessary.

The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

The canopy must be installed so that the plug is easily accessible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network.

• The minimum distance between cooktop and the lowest part of the canopy must be at least 650mm for an electric cooktop and 750mm for a gas cooktop.
• If a ventilation chimney composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the canopy exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
• Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.11) so that the unit is easier to handle. In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version, prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.

Hood Assembly

1. Remove the structure from the packaging and separate the upper part from the lower part.
2. Make sure that the arrow is positioned on the same side as the appliance controls. Make 4 Ø8 holes in the ceiling and drive in 3 screws without completely tightening them (Fig2). Do not insert the screw into the hole marked X in the illustration. Note that the screws and expansion plugs must be suitable for the type of wall.
3. Take the upper part of the structure B and insert the 3 slots onto the 3 screws that are not completely tightened (Fig3).
4. Rotate slightly to fit.
5. Drive in the fourth screw into X and tighten the remaining 3 screws of the upper part of structure B.
6. Take the lower part of the telescopic structure C and insert it into the upper structure B.
7. Adjust the height (Fig.5) by referring to the amounts indicated and position it using the 8 unit screws G that are supplied (Fig.4).
8. Suction version: fix the flexible pipe to the ventilation hole (Fig.6).
9. Take the upper chimney piece and fix it with 4 unit screws G (Fig. 7).
10. Take the lower chimney and fix it with 2 unit screws G (Fig.8).
11. Insert the suction unit inside the structure and set in 4 mounting holes, drive in 4 screws N (Fig.9).
12. Fix the air evacuation pipe H (not supplied) onto the connection flange (Fig.10).
13. Unscrew the 2 screws G and rest the lower chimney piece above the canopy (Fig.11).
14. If the canopy is supplied with a lower chimney piece, that must be fixed to the hood body with screws. Remove the anti-grease filters from the hood by acting on the relevant handles (Fig.12). Screw the lower chimney piece pipe to the inside of the hood, using screws P (Fig.13). Replace the filters in their seat.

Use and Maintenance

• It is recommended to open the appliance prior to cooking.
• It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
• To ensure best performance of your canopy, it is recommended that maintenance operations are conducted regularly.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging relative to the frequency of use.
• In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter at least every 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
  • Remove the filters from the canopy and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
• The aluminum panels may alter in color after several washes. This is not a cause for customer complaint or replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The filters are not washable or reusable and must be replaced at least every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use, by the type of cooking, and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters. To remove the charcoal filters, place on hand on one filter at a time and turn it towards the front (Fig.14). The charcoal filter can now be removed. Always ensure to replace both filters at the same time.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the canopy regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non-abrasive liquid detergent.
• The light is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged lighting of the environment. Prolonged use of the light notably reduces the duration of the bulb. Use a one-edged screwdriver or any other appropriate tool to lift and remove the overhead light fixture. Replace the damaged lamp. Use only halogen lamps with the original specification, taking care to avoid direct contact with hands. Return the light fixture to its position (snap fastening) (Fig.15).

COMMANDS PATTERN: (Fig.16)

• A= TIMER --- 15 MINUTES
• B= SPEED I / OFF
• C= SPEED II / OFF
• D= SPEED III / OFF
• E =LIGHT

COMMANDS PATTERN: (Fig.17)

• A= OFF
• B= SPEED I
• C= SPEED II
• D= SPEED III
• E =LIGHT

If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed function, press key A for two seconds and intensive speed will activate for 15 minutes, after which it will return to the previously set speed. When the function is active, the LED flashes.

By pressing any key except the light, the canopy will return to its normal functioning.

The “automatic stop timer” overrides stopping of the hood, and will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
