Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance operations
on the appliance, remove the plug from the
wall outlet. The hood should be cleaned with
mild cleaning agents, do not use abrasives.
Regular maintenance significantly improves the
performance and durability of the hood. The hood
should be cleaned at least once a month or every
35 hours of hood operation. To clean hood DO NOT
USE ALCOHOL-BASED AGENTS. Satin items (inox)
should be cleaned with special preparations for
that purpose.
A
Failure to comply with the provisions
relating to cleaning of the device and
replacement of filters may cause fire
risks. It is therefore recommended
to comply with the guidelines given
herein. The manufacturer is not lia-
ble for any damage to the engine or
fires caused by improper use.
5.1 Grease Filter
The hood is equipped with an aluminum filter,
which retains the fat particles from cooking. The
filter can be removed by moving the locks in the
direction of the arrows (Fig. 7). The filter should
be washed by hand by immersing for 15 minutes in
water with dishwashing liquid at a temperature of
40-50°C. After 15 minutes, you can proceed with
washing and then rinsing. The filter must be dry
before being placed in the hood. The filter can also
be washed in a dishwasher. During the washing
procedure, the filter may discolor, however it does
not affect its filtering properties. If the filter is not
cleaned regularly, it reduces the performance of
the hood and could cause the risk of fire. The filter
should be cleaned at least after each 35 hours of
hood operation.
5.2 Carbon filter
The hood can be fitted with an active carbon filter.
The carbon filter is applied only in case the hood is
not connected to the vent pipe.
The filter should be placed on the turbine casing,
as shown in drawing (Fig. 10). The active carbon
filter should be replaced every 6 months.
A
The carbon filter shall not be washed
nor regenerated.
