Filters and maintenance
Grease fi lters:
Metal-mesh fi lters are used to trap the grease
particles in the cooking vapours.
The fi lter mats are made from noncombustible
metal.
Caution:
As the fi lter becomes more and more saturated with
grease, there is an increased risk of fi re and the
function of the extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease fi lters at appropriate
intervals, the possibility of them catching fi re as a re-
sult of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-
fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Filters can be washed in the dish machine. They
need to be washed when F-sign appears on the
display or in any case every month, or even more
frequently in case of particularly intensive use of the
hood.
Removing and inserting metal grease fi lters
Open the ducting panels.
Remove the fi lters one by one.
Ducting panels
The ducting panels must never be washed in a
dishwasher.
Open the ducting panels pulling them down-
wards.
Disconnect the panels from the hood canopy by
sliding the fi xing pin lever.
Any kind of bending of the fi lters has to be
avoided when washing them. Before fi tting
them again into the hood make sure that they
are completely dry. (The colour of the fi lter sur-
face may change throughout the time but this
has no infl uence to the fi lter effi ciency).
Put the clean fi lters back on its place
Close the ducting panel.
Reset of the alarm signal
Switch off the hood and the lighting.
Press
the
E-key until the display is unlit.
Clean the outside using a damp cloth and neu-
tral liquid detergent.
Clean the inside using a damp cloth and neutral
detergent; do not use wet cloths or sponges, or
jets of water; do not use abrasive substances.
When the above operation has been complet-
ed, hook the panels back to the hood canopy in
the opposite direction and close they.
