MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! Before performing any
maintenance operation, isolate the hood
from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector
fuse. Or if the appliance has been
connected through a plug and socket, then
the plug must be removed from the socket.
The cooker hood should be cleaned
regularly (at least with the same frequency
with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat
fi lters) 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
fi lters may
cause fi re risks. Therefore, we recommend
observing these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for any damage to the motor or any
fi re damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above
safety recommendations.
Grease fi lter - The grease fi lter 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
fi lter
may discolour slightly, but this does not
affect its
fi ltering capacity.
