SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In certain circumstances electrical appliances
may be a danger hazard.
•
The hood has been designed to remove the kitchen
smells; any other additional use shall be regarded
as non-intended.
•
Areate the room if other appliances that are not
supplied by electrical power are being used while
the hood is on.
•
Do not leave the cooker on if it is not being used.
• Do not flambé food directly under the cooker hood to
prevent the grease filter catching fire due to flames.
• Constantly check food frying to avoid that the
overheated oil may become a fire hazard.

hood is operating.
• Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to switch on the appliance
before cooking. It is also recommended to leave
the appliance in operation for 10 minutes after
cooking is terminated in order to completely
eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is
conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance
operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood
regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured
alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.
WARNING
:
unplug the appliance or switch
off the circuit breaker before carrying out
maintenance operations.
METALLIC ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
- The filters must be washed at least once a month
with hot water and household detergent.
- They can also be washed in the dishwasher.
- To disassemble unscrew the fixing screw in the
middle of the filter. (Fig. 1)
ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER (Fig. 2)

- The filter cannot be regenerated, it must be re-
placed at least once every two months.
- For the substitution it is necessary to remove the
central anti-grease metal filter, slide out the modu-
lar filter from its housing situated inside the cooker
hood.
LIGHTING
In order to change the mounted lamps:
- rotate the light unit anti-clockwise;
