Maintenance and care
• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild
detergent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never
use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
• It is extremely important to clean the
unit and change the filters at the
recommended intervals. Failure to do
so will cause grease deposits to build
up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to
absorb grease particles which form
during cooking and it must always be
used, either in the external extraction
or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must
be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every
four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
• Pull the handles downwards, then extract the filter. Fig. 3 .
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact
on its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never
use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
