OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1 - OPERATION
The controls are located in a concealed control panel in the top of the extractable carriage, and are
visible in the working position (carriage open).
The hood functions are worked by three sliding controls:
L button =
turns the lighting system on and off
M button=
turns the motor on and off
V button =
1 : minimum speed
2 : medium speed
3 : maximum speed
Also, two microswitches work as main power switches with memory, and are turned on and off by
opening and closing of the carriage, activating the lighting system and motor.
2 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the
working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and to the activated
charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
2.1 - Metal grease filters.
1 - Cleaning
This filter should be cleaned at the most every two months, using a normal household detergent;
its reduced size means that it can also be put into the dishwasher.
2 - Removing the filter
Open the sliding carriage, then push the side handles on the filter towards the centre, at the same
time pulling downward. Replace the filter taking care that the handle is pointing towards the
front of the hood.
2.2 - Synthetic grease filter
1 - This cannot be washed, but must be replaced on average every two months.
If the filter has chemical saturation indicators, replace when the red colour in the dots has spread
to the whole surface of the filter.
2 - Replacement:
a - Open the ducting grille panel
b - Press the fastener clips towards the centre, simultaneously pulling downwards.
