Cooker Hood / User Manual

3 Operating your appliance
•
We recommend that the cooker hood is
switched on before any food is cooked. We also
recommend that the appliance is left running
for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order
to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air.
The effective performance of the cooker hood
depends on constant maintenance; the an-
ti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
•
The anti-grease filter is responsible retain-
ing the grease particles suspended in the air,
therefore it is subject to clogging with variable
frequency according to the use of the appliance.
•
To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least
every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease
filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid
detergents or in the dishwasher at low temper-
atures and on short cycles.
•
After a few washes, color alterations may occur.
This is normal and will not effect their perfor-
mance.
•
The active carbon filters
are used to purify
the air that is sent back into the room and its
function is to remove the unpleasant odours
produced by cooking.
•
The non-regenerable active carbon filters must
be replaced at least every 4 months. The satura-
tion of the active charcoal depends on the more
or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the
type of kitchen and on the frequency with which
antigrease filter is cleaned.
•
Regenerable active charcoal filters must be
washed by hand, with non abrasive neutral de-
tergents, or in the dishwasher at a maximum
temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must
be complete without dishware). Remove excess
water without damaging the filter, remove the
plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for
at least 15 minutes approximately at a maxi-
mum temperature of 100°C.
To keep the regenerable charcoal filter func-
tioning efficient this operation must be repeated
every 2 months. These must be replaced at least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
•
Before remounting the anti-grease filters
and the regenerable active charcoal filters
it is important that they are completely dry.
•
Clean the hood frequently, both internally
and externally, using a cloth dampened
with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid
detergents that are non abrasive.
•
The lighting .system is designed for use during
cooking and not for the prolonged general light-
ing of the room. The prolonged use of the light-
ing system significantly decreases the average
duration of the bulbs.
•
If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights
it is possible to use them for general room light-
ing for a prolonged amount of time.

The non-compliance with the
hood cleaning warnings and with
the replacement and cleaning of
the filters entails risk of fires. One
therefore recommends keeping to
the suggested instructions.
