8.5 Hints and Tips for the
hood
• The grid covering the hood is made of
aluminium and stainless steel. You
can put pots on it while the hood is
not operating. It will not cause any
damage.
• When AUTO mode operates, the fan
starts at a low speed at the beginning
of each cooking session. The speed
increases gradually. You can also
adjust the speed of the fan manually.
• In case of exhaust installation you
have to install a window switch. You
need to buy it separately as it is not
supplied with the hood. The window
switch has to be installed by an
authorised technician. Refer to the
installation booklet.
9. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
9.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean
base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the
surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
The printing on the flexible
induction cooking area may
become dirty or change its
colour from sliding the
cookware. You can clean the
area in a standard way.
9.2 Cleaning the hob
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar,
otherwise, the dirt can cause damage
to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
Use a special hob scraper on the
glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic
discoloration: use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a cloth.
9.3 Cleaning the hood
Grid
The grid drives the air into the hood.
Additionally, it protects the hood system
and prevents foreign objects from falling
inside by accident. You can wash the
grid manually or in a dishwasher.
Water tank
There is a water tank located under the
hood. It collects the condensation
created during each cooking process.
Remember to empty the water tank
regularly. To open the water tank, slide
the latches out and open them one by
one.
WARNING!
Make sure you do not let
water get inside the hood.
If water or other liquids spill inside the
hood system:
• switch off the hood in the first place,
• lift the grid and clean the hood area
carefully with a moist cloth or sponge
and a mild cleaning agent,
• wipe away the excess liquid gathered
on the bottom of the hood cavity using
a sponge or a dry cloth,
• switch on the hood, set the fan speed
level to 2 or higher and let it run for
