USE AND MAINTENANCE
Before beginning any sort of cleaning and maintenance work, turn off the power of the downdraft by turning the main
switch to 0 (OFF).
Cleaning the metal filters
The metal filters fitted in the downdraft should be washed every 2-3 months depending on
how much they are used, using hot water and a non aggressive liquid detergent.
To access the metal filters, you must remove the cover from the downdraft. In order to
remove the cover, take the cover out from the downdraft and take off the cover lifting it
upwards. The metal filters can be removed using the special handle unhooking first the filter
in the front part and pulling up. After washing the filters, they must be thoroughly dried and
reassembled correctly.
Carbon filters
If the downdraft is used with the internal recycle filtering system, then active carbon filters
must be used. The active carbon in the filters traps the cooking smells.
The carbon filters are placed underneath the metal filters.
For replacement, first remove the metal filters and then remove the carbon filters by using
the handle of the filter and pushing it towards the back. Then remove it by pulling upwards.
POLYESTER carbon filters cannot be reused or washed and must be periodically changed (every 4
months if the hood is used for 2 hours every day). Saturate filters could be a fire hazard.
Depending on the hood model, the carbon filters are round or rectangular.
LONG LIFE
carbon filter can be cleaned and
reactivated. The filter should be cleaned every other
month if used normally. The filter is best cleaned in a
dishwasher at the highest temperature using normal
washer detergent. The filter should be washed on its
own to prevent particles of food from fastening in it
and then causing an unpleasant smell later on. To
reactivate the carbon the filter should be dried in the
oven. Chose upper/ lower heat and maximum 100 °C
and try the filter for 10 minutes. The filter must be
changed when it no longer absorbs the cooking
smells sufficiently.
Cleaning the hood
If the downdraft is stainless steel, use specific products and rags for satin stainless steel (non-abrasive and / or
corrosive detergents free of chlorine), ensuring to clean in the same direction as the satin finish.
Do not use aggressive products, chemical solvents or derivatives of oil distillates that could leave oily traces which
could cause oxidation and polymerization.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to the surface of the downdraft due to failure to respect
these instructions.
