Maintenance

WARNING:

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
WARNING:
- Never use steam cleaning equipment.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning
recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the
filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter -
Fig. 2
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed
in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but
this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 3
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at
65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function
and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90°
that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit
the whole back into its housing (j).
It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter,
washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months.
The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together;
the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to
be used.
Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.
